Increase In Newsprint Price Blew To Publishers Another severe blow to the newspaper poblisMhg industry was the increase of $4 and $6 a ton on newsprint Monday morning. In addition to the sharp increase in price, thk cothritodity is so scarce that some pub lishers fear a curtailment in the size of their newspapers between now and January first. Just a few years ago newsprint was sell ing, delivered in Waynesvilte at $40 per ton. Today the same item, delivered in Waynes ville is $!80 per ton. Some representatives of newspaper groups liredict that the cost of newsprint today will mean discontinuance of some publica tions. We cannot speak with any authority on that statement, but we know the increase I>resents another major problem for pub lishers, as does the shortage. Charles Ray Holds Important Post In Motor Club The elevation of Charles Ray to chairman of the board of directors of the Carolina Motor Club is a distinct honor to come to this lfaywood eivic and business leader. The board of directors is composed of 33 well known political, business and state lead ers of the two, Carolinas, which means that the post as chairman is all the more import ant. The 33-year-old organization is recogniz ed as one of the leaders in the nation, and it is largely because of the impressive board of directors plus the ability of the president, and founder, Coleman W. Roberts. Mr. Ray's enthusiasm, ability, and sound judgment qualifies him for the post to which he has just been elected. No Use To Try To Out-Guess Dan Cupid There are many, and varied opinions about the romance of Princess Margaret and Group Leader Peter Townsend. The number of dif ferent opinions rose tremendously when the pretty young 25-year-old princess announced that she had decided not to marry the 40 year-old ace aviator, and divorced father of two fifrjifjyeTi S*w romances have claimed as much wofid-wide attention since the princess* uncle, Edward VIII, abdicated his throfie in 1937 for "the woman I love." Among the many points of view has been one advanced as to why Princess Margaret would let herself fall in love with a man whom she knew was divorced, and marriage would be against church sanction. But Dan Cupid works in mysterious ways, and who is there to question his tactics?

Some workers have been handicapped through no fault of theirs from getting out and completing their assignments. Others have finished their phase of the program. There are some individuals who are still waiting for someone to call on them. That is the result of habit or custom of campaigns in the past. It might be that the person as signed to call upon you has been delayed be cause of illhess or some other justified rea son. So in order to get the campaign com pleted, why not call the United Fund cam paign office and ask for a pledge card, or drop by and fill one out. The campaign Is not for any individual, but the the responsibility of each citizen to do his part. You'll feel better by having done yours, so go ahead and get in your pledge and don't wait on the solicitors. Haywood's Fat Calves Rank High Haywood 4-H and FFA boys and girls made another excellent showing at the an nual Fat Calf Show and Sale Tuesday and Wednesday. Many of the prizes were brought back to Haywood, including the reserve champion. The grand champion went to Swain this year. It has been noticeable in recent years the growing interest in agriculture in the coun ties west of here. A concentrated program is under way in several of the counties, and they are making great strides in their re spective programs. This is an encouraging sign, and will improve the economy of all Western North Carolina. We have noticed the improved quality of animals from the western counties in recent years, which is indicative of the interest and program being staged west of here. Watch Out For Trillions' In the interest of accuracy, I think it is time to warn reporters and Linotype oper ators that the word "trillion" has an "r" in it. During recent years we have had a lot of trouble getting millions and billions straight ened out. One of the most common typo's is to write $281,000,000 when we actually mean $281,000,000,000. They look pretty much alike. And they sound pretty much alike, too ? million and billion ? just a matter of an "m" or a "b". But now, as the national debt approaches new horizons and our Congress is thinking "big" we should probably all get familiar with the word "trillipn". It's a little more complicated since, instead of just substitut ing a "t" for a "b", an "r" must be thrown in. Another problem with a trillion dollar debt, from the newspaperman's standpoint, is the difficulty of making $1,000,000,000, 000 fit into a headline. Of course a headline writer might use a note to say, "Zeros con tinued on page 8", but that hardly seems proper newspaper styling. There is also an international problem. Here's how Webster defines trillion: "In French and American notation, a thousand billions, or in English and Germon notations, a million billions." Imagine what would hap pen if we started talking trillions in our for eign aid departments. Only safeguard would be another headline complication. It would probably be necessary to write "Trillion (Amer. & Fr.)" or "Trillion (Ger. & Eng.)" Under the circumstances, it would seem the better part of wisdom for newspapermen to fight the trillion dollar trend. It's too com plicated. But ? just in case ? remember that trillion has on "r" in it?"R", like the first letter in the word "Ruin".?Don Robin son (Reprinted from The American Press). They'll Do It Every Time 1?H II* i.

Highland Flings By Bob Conway When it comes to the annual To- h bacco Festival, we would have lik ed to have been in Waynesville "in t the good old days" when the event was held after Thanksgiving and featured several days of outstand- f ing entertainment. Back in 1947, when the Tobacco i Festival was first held, Haywood i countians got into the holiday mood < by going to the annual Canton- , Waynesville football game. That night the Beta Sigma Phi < sponsored a Harvest Festival Ball j at the Waynesville Armory. i The next day a parade with 22 floats was held down Main St., fol- . lowed by a sing at the armory, a i movie on North Carolina, and a band concert at the courthouse. Saturday's events Included to bacco demonstrations, selecting the Tobacco Queen, and square dancfe and string band competition at the armory Saturday night. The Tobacco Festival probably would have stayed the way it start ed out, but for the first five years the parade was held the weather man always frowned on the pro ceedings and dumped rain, snow, sleet and bitterly cold weather on Waynesville. So the parade finally had to be cancelled and festival activities were moved indoors at the court house and armory. Since 1953 the annual event hai been held during the first part of the week instead of the weekend because the ai^nory could not be obtained until Friday morning This year the armory is being leased each Saturday by Station WWIT of Canton, so the festival again had to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. It would be ivlce if features of ?he early Tobacco Festivals could be incorporated into the present program?which Includes the ex cellent Home Demonstration Club exhibits at the armory. o The other day Deputy Sheriff fine Howell waa telling us about several break-ins at Maggie Val ley and mentioned that the thieves broke Into the "piccolo" at one of the places.

Unfortunately, too many things ?vritten by students are hard to read and usually require complete rewriting. Sometlhnes we wonder if English should be taught as part of the Foreign language curriculum. o We have a new automatic dish washer at our house.

Experts estimate that a typical American family spends 13 per cent of its weekly food budget for milk whieh supplies 30 per cent of the families nutritional needs. Voice of the People Do you think Princess Margaret Rose made a wise decision in de ciding not to m?rry Capt. Town send? Mrs. Sid Haynes?"She probably made a wise decision, but I felt sorry for her because she had to do it. However, she had the inter ests of her people at heart and was very conscientious. I think she is a great person and showed it by her decision." Miss Betty Shope?-"No I don't; I'm thoroughly against it. I think she should marry the man she I loves." ______ Mrs. H. H. Smalley?"I believe she did the right thing. In her posi tion she would have gotten a lot of adverse criticism by marrying Capt. Townsend." Mrs. William M. Hardin ? "I would have gone on and married him if I really loved him." Mrs. R. P. Aiken?"I would have made the same decision. Country and church come first. Sometimes we have to sacrifice instead of fol lowing our heart."

Letters to the Edit FREF.DI.ANDER TO PLANT MORE TURKISH TOBACCO Editor, The Mountaineer: My ambition is to see the en tire mountain side covered with aromatic tobacco. While it does take more labor, the labor can very largely be done by children, ten to twelve years old, or there about?; Whereas Vith Mountain Burley that grows five to six feet high, the stalks are too high. In Turkish tobacco the stalk never gets over eighteen inches high. As a matter of fact, because there is so much bending involved, children are better than grownups. Just imagine a farmer who has a num ber of children that can be put to work on an easy crop and get such a desirable income! The advantages of TurkisJj tobac co are: (1) There is no acreage limit. We import about fifty mil lion dollars a year and only grow about one million dollars. (2) It grows ort the poorest land; in fact, good land is detrimental and would not give good tobacco of this type. (3) While the yield is smaller, yet the price is usually doubled or more that of Mountain Burley. <41 We have proven on my place here in Waynesville that it will grow at 3600 feet very satisfactorily, or beyond. (5) It requires no fertilizer and practically no insects affect it. (61 It is grown between the late frost in the spring and the fearly frost in the fall and, therefore, is less liable to be in a frost period.
