B ^ W* * i s Our Nsw Solvation Army Loaders . Senior Captain and Mr*. Jane* P. Henry have aMttmed their duties as head of the Salvation Army work here in Haywood county. They replace Major Cecil Brown who has retired. ?' Those who know the Henrys are warm in their.jupjse of them ae "being the logical ones to ancceed Major Brown." This is an encouraging note, because here in Haywood we have learned to love and re spectfthe work of the Salvation Army. The Henrys will find a fertile field here for their labors, and will find a friendly Hay wood dtitenry to work with and through. _ a a __ 0*% _ a veiling v*overnm?ni Out Of Business Some good news which hasn't received an much notice aa it deaervea in coming out of Washington. Joaeph Terrell of the Wall Street Journal reports? "A major Eisenhower Administra tion move toward freer enterprise - - - yank ing Unole Sam's long hand out of competi tion with private business ... is gathering new momentum." Various government busi ness orations . . . ranging from a steel foundry to housing developments . . . have been sold to private enterprise. Of greater moment, the chances seem to be improved for law Changes which will eliminate certain obstae)# to the get-out-of-business drive. A reeent Budget Bureau survey shows how deeply government has gone into busi ness. Tn quote Mr. Terrell again: "Although by no means all-inclusive, the survey found Uncle' Sam has his finger in almost 20 thous 1 A? 21IH1 fwinirrciw ur niuunirwi ncuvrvim . ? ? with to^al assets of nearly $11.0 billion." He also says: "The military men, deeper into businjpsM activities than their civilian col leagues, are apparently leading the way in getting out of them. In all, the Defense De partn$eftt has reviewed almost 2,000 busi ness-type installations for possible discard." The benefits that result from getting gov ernment out of business are many. For one thing, sale of the properties could bring huge suma-4* Treasury, to be used for- - debt reduction or tax reduction. For another, when thc.se businesses go into private hands, they become taxpayers ? instead of sub sidized tax-eaters. Most important by far in the long run, every time government takes a step in this direction, the free enterprise system, upon which representative govern ment itself rests, is strengthened and vital ized. 3 i n. f Your Name In The Paper ?v Hovr valuable is local newspaper advertis ing to local business people ? Here's what the American Bankers magazine,, a publication which represents a traditionally hard-head ed profession, has to say: "No business man or woman in any town should allow a news paper to go to press without his or her name and business being mentioned somewhere in its columns. This does not mean you should have a whole, half, or even a quarter page advertisement in each issue of the paper but your name and address should be mentioned if yon do not use more than a two-line space. "A stranger picking up a newspaper [ shoukl be able to tell what business is repre sented in a town . . . it's the best possible town advertiser. The man or women who does hot advertise does an injustice to him self or herself and definitely to the town." Civic Pride The campaign to raise $50,000 for a rec reation center has attracted much attention in this area and elsewhere. The trend is for the project to be underwritten the public, rather than put such matters cm the tax books. This is a reversal of what it was just a few abort years ago. The Asheville Citizen on Sunday aarried the folk>wing editorial on the subject, which tends tc> show the careful eye that m being peeled this community this weelp: "Residents of Waynesville have felt the need for a' recreation center for a long time and now they are going to do seshething a bout it. "Some m>0 or more citizens of this thriv in* tourist ^community tomorrow will launch a campaign to raise $50,000 for the project. They aren't ftoing to "let George do it," nor are they going to saddle the taxpayers with a bond issue. "The town hatf been divided into 100 small units and three persons have been assigned to each for the purpose cf selliug $10 shares of stock in the center. r "The plans have been worked out with such painstaking care that it would be safe to wager that the goal will be reached, if not oversubscribed, , "We certainly hope that it will prove to be a real lesson in civic twiterprise that will be copied elsewhere in W?stem North Caro lina." ?4 ...t . Wild Strawberries Are Fine, When Not Poisoned Few things are more delicious than wild strawberries. And the delicacy seems to thrive best in apple orchards under tne trees which have to be aprayed ever so often with poisons. And this makes for a bad situation. The orchardmen are in the business of growing apples and not wild strawberries. Their action of asking people not to pick the berries is in no way a selfish motive, but rather that of precaution, for fear the spray from the trees so contaminates the berries that serious iUness might result for those who eat the berries. The Heajh Department points out that eat ing berrfes that hatfe"been subjected to spray from apple trees at this time of year is ex tremely dangerous. , And while it might appear to be a waste of the delicious berries to leave them in the orchards, it would be much better to do that than to have persons become ill, and perhaps in some cases the illness prove to be fatal, from eating the berries.

Haywood Clubs Do It Again The Haywood Home Demonstration Clubs have done it again. Brought home a blue ribbon from the state convention for their scrapbook. This is not unusual for the Haywood clubs to get state-wide recognition, and it shows that they are keeping up with their reputation as being "among Carolina's best." A study of the book covering the activities for the year is inspirational, and reveals that far mare has been done than one would imag ine just from resorting to their memory of the year's progress.

A t-year-old of our acquaintance attracted aome little attention by hie ability to recognise on eight and identify by make virtually any automobile he saw. AslBed how he did it. he replied with the direct ness of the very young: "By the sayaes." That was no help to the questioner, a mere adult.

' ' - - V * ' . " . APPLE Of DISCORD /laws Of Otfw Editors INCOME TAX IS BAD United States News publishes a lengthy article under the above title, stating the views on this subject of T. Coleman Andrews, former Commissioner of Internal Revenue. This newspaper will not under take to discuss Mr. Andrews' opinions and suggestions here, but the article is well worth the atten tion of citizens interested in tax reform. Mr. Andrews does not believe It is necessary for the American people to go on forever accepting the income tax, which he says "Hurts all kinds of people; soaks many classes of the people; and can lead to dictatorship." Citizens are penalized by this taxing system because of their success in business; and it is a heavy weight hung on the necks of citizens and enterprising busi ness corporations. He adds that if Congress ever gave the Reve nue Service enough money to jjwoperlp anlaac?Mm-law the in come tax would have to be re pelled within a year. There is, he says, "a lot of finagling going on " Mr. Andrews indicts the in come tax on numerous counts, and arrives at the conclusion that it is bad. In this opinion millions of his fellow citizens are in agree ment. Mr. Andrews' views deserve the careful attention of good citizens. It is a system which penalizes successful ciitzenship and success in business; enables the govern ment spender to lay on the peo ple grievous burdens; a system which is controlled by no prac tical limits and may be so im posed as to deprive citizens of ail remuneration earned as workers, employers or Investors of capital. Mr. Andrews is thoroughly in formed on the problems of taxa tion; is a man who collected more than 180 billion dollars in federal taxes. He believes taxes are too high; and that the Income tax is "neHhar fair or necessary." ?Hendersonyille Times-News. FACES WERE RED Several faces were red in Jack-^ son Superior Court Tuesday when, after polling a Jury that had been out on a case. It turned out that there were 13 votes in stead of 12. The result stood 10 to 3. Where did that 13th Juror come from, the court wanted to know? All of the Jurors said that they had been called into the box. so ?13 men, good and true, heard the evidence of a 'case of drunk Iriving and assault on an officer with an automobile, and then re tired to render their verdict, and as stated before, it was 10 to 3. The results? A mistrial, of course. ?Sylva Herald. CIVIC PROJECT Waynesville is not a big town except in spirit, civic pride and ambition. It intends to go places. It* latest project began Mon day when anore than 900 citizens of the Waynesville area started -a week-long campaign to raise 980,000 for a recreation tenter. It's to be accomplished through offers of stock in a non-profit recreation commission at $10 per share. The initial $18,000 tglil go to pay for a IT-acre site on the edge ct town that is being purchased from the Haywood County Hors* Show Association. Remainder of the mpney will be used to develop the recreation center, wltb facilities tt> include a swimming pool and tennis courts. A horse show is planned there for ibis season Thi a chir undertaking is worthy of the highest praise, for It ts aimed at providing a whole itora alio.?Asheville Citizen. My Favorite Stories Br CARL GOERCH. There were four of them and for more than a month they had i been planning a trip to Philadel- i phia to aee the Army-Nkvy foot ball game. Just four little country girls going to a big city. There was Doris, Emily Carter, Tay and June. The last three lived in Washington, N. C. Prior to their departure. Dori3 went down to the Sir Walter Ho tel in Baleigh to see Kenny Phil lips and get his assistance in mak ing a reservation at the Adelphia Hotel. Kenny was very helpful and assured her that everything would be Q.K. And so, on Thursday before the game, the four of them left Ba leigh and drove to Washington, D. C., where they spent the night. Their plan was to leave the car there and go to Philadelphia by trai/i. Just before dinner, in Washing ton, Deris got to worrying about 1 the reservation at the Adelphia < and decided that she had better 1 call up and make sure that it had < been arranged. June. Emily Car- 1 ter, and Tay agreed that it might 1 be a wise thing to do. So they put in a call for the Adelphia . . . Yes, the reserva tion had been made . . . Yes. the two rooms were adjoining. . . . Yes, everything was attended to and they needn't worry a single minute . . . The rooms would be waiting for them upon their arriv al in Philadelphia. , So that settled that They went out that evening, took in a show, and had a real good time. The next afternoon they boarded the train for Phila delphia. They got there .safely. It was the first time that any of them had been there, although they had passed through the city sev eral times on their way to New York. First thing they did was to hail a taxi, and all four of them piled in. The driver stowed their luggage up In the compartment alongside his teat. "The Adelphia Hotel," June told him. "O. K., lady: we'll be there in just ? few minutes." He spoke the trutfl. It was only a short drive. Drawing up along side the curb in front of the hotel, he got out, unloaded the baggage, and helped our four he roines out of the cab. They paid him and went inside, marching four abreast up to the registration desk. They signed the blanks and the desk clerk asked: "Have you a reservation?" "Yes indeed," June told him. The clerk looked at the four cards rather dubiously. "In whose name would these reserva tions be?" he inquired. "In my name." Doris told him. "Doris Goerch." He looked over a long list and then shook his head. "I'm sorry, but we don't seem to have a res ervation for you," he finally told them. "But you must have," Deris in sisted. "Mr. Phillips of Raleigh made the reservation. Then, too, I called you up from Washington. D. C. this morning and you said that you had the roorn^ reserved for us." The clerk shook his head again. "No reservation," he repeated. That's when they got mad. June gave her impression of hotel clerks as a whole; Doris told him what Mr. Phillips would io to him the first time he came to Philadelphia; Emily Carter in- ' terposed a few strong words on her own account; Tay stutters slightly, so she didn't get into the argument. They looked and acted so threatening that the clerk backed water. He admitted that perhaps a mistake had been made. He looked around for a few minutes and finally told them that he would let them have two rooms. They beamed at one another in triumph. Two bell boys escorted them to their rooms, where they unpack ed their bags, changed their dresses and proceeded to get ready to go down to dinner. "Walt Just a minute." said Doris. "I want to write a note." She went to the desk. She pull ed open the drawer. She drew a sheet of paper therefrom and let her eyes fall upon it. Then she gasped. Not once, but twice. Following which she scMtamed. HWhat's the m^ter?" yelled the othbr three. "Look!" said Doris, holding up the letterhead. They gazed frantically upon it. In delicately - shaded type they read the words: "Hotel Bellevue Stratford." The taxi driver, either through carelessness or because of his in ability to understand June's southern accent had taken them to the wrong hotel. Meekly and humbly they re packed their bags.

And we've wondered also why there are people who do not eere for music? can take it or leave It, and usually do the latter. We are referring to REAL music, not the so-called Wind that consists of highly discordant notes and a repetitious annoying qual ity that neither have rhythm or melody. Nor are we specifically re ferring to classical music as covered by opera and ttie old masters. Rather, we mean the softened notes of ballads, old time songs of yesteryear and some of the newer compositions, as well as selec tions from musical comedies and operettas. The trains of a violin under the guiding fingers of an artist, can tie the emotions into a delicate bow knot of ecstasy. And the tightening of the throat when listening to the beautiful tones of an organ rendering "The Rosary". Music and flowers are the gift of a Master Mind. _*? The bud opens to find Itself a full blown rooe, then sudden ly scattered petals. . ' ' - "? A ^ : v ;<1 They say three is a magic number, also an exit sign. We truly hope that "three times and out" refers to our digressions from the mental path upon which old ladies are supposed to travel. Five years ago, a very dear friend gave.us a surprise birthday luncheon and also a gift?a set of canisters which we had most open ly coveted. The years passed and we had found no suitable place in which to display our treasures. Then last week, we extended our one-room domicile into a two-room estate, and out came the canisters which, by the way, had never been removed from the original box. Imagine our surprise and consternation to And, blissfully con tent, at the bottom a box of beautiful note paper. Our first thought (when we had recovered consciousness) was what would our gener ous friend think of our remission in not thanking her. When we told her the next morning, she laughed and said: "I have been wait ing five years to hear your reaction and I only wish I could have seen your face when you found the note paper." Except for the fact that our age precludes any possibility of blush ing, she might have thought she was enjdytng a scarlet sunset!
