V TODAY'S BIBLE VER?B TODAY'S QUOTATION which hath any suil or cause .light come .t: Editorial Pago of the Mountaineer l\T,era* inf and I would do Mas " ? Aristotle. ?tl Samuel 15:4. C. E. Weatherby, A Moulder Of Character The resignation of Carleton E. Weatherby as head football coach after 27 years at Waynesville township nigh School did not come as a surprise to those who have boon close to Mr. Weatherby in recent year :. The growing TespohsibttTtiek as principal of the hjgh .*cho$; the steady increase in student enrollment and the complications of heading a school of 1500 students necessi tated his giving up a post which has been a vital part of his life for over a quarter of a century, one in which he has done much in moulding character in the hundreds of young people who have come under his guidance. It is fortunate that Mr. Weatherby can re main as director of athletics and thereby have a hand in shaping the policies and ex ecuting them in all athletic programs at the high school. He has done more in the 27 years than just coach football players. He has instilled in young men and women the importance of fair play, character building and the pursuit of high ideals. Bruce Jaynes, the successor to Mr. Weath erby, is the logical man, we feel, inasmuch as he received four years of training under Mr. Weatherby, and worked under him for almost five years and has had instilled in him the same high ideals for which Mr. Weatherby is so well known. Quite naturally Mr. Weatherby is proud of his record of games won, but prouder still is he of the fact that on every hand to day he can look about and see young men and women who are leaders in their fields of work und in their communities, who were taught the better ways of life by Carleton Weatherby. Senator Smathers Rising Fast In National Party Haywood County will have more than the usual amount of interest in the national Democratic convention because Senator George Smathers will be playing an import ant role in the convention and in the election this fall. Senator Smathers heads up a committee which works in all states for the election of party Senators. The young and aggressive Senator, spending a vacation with his par ents here, has a keen insight into the nation al political picture, and being a successful campaigner himself, was honored by the Democrats with this big task which was held until his death by the late Senator Al ben Barkley. Senator Smathers has been mentioned by a number of national political writers as a potential candidate for vice president. He is very wisely biding his time and gradually working to that point, we feel, and this latest assignment is one of the stepping stones in that direction. Senator Smathers has had the good for tune of having been instilled with good sound political tactics by his father, Judge Frank Smathers, who has proven to be one of the South's best known political students of national affairs. As the national convention opens Monday, we will begin to see an unfolding of a new chapter in the Senator's life which we be lieve will lead to a future that will elevate him in time to one of our country's highest offices.

United Fund Is Modem Way Te Rate* Money In the many yearn of special campaigns and drives for charity, we have not awto a group work any harder than the -Beta Sigma Phi sorority In their recent drive 'to raise $1,800 for the Cancer fund. These energetic and enterprising young Liies pushed ? and pushed hard ? the campaign but at the end very discouraging ly found contributions just slightly above the one-third mark of the quota. It was not because of their lack of work or enthusiasm that the quota was not made, but in our opinion it was the fact that the people of this community have realized that it is easier to give through United Fund at one time rather than through a multitude of continual campaigns. The National Cancer Foundation remains among the few charity groups that will not participate in a local united drive. That makes it hard on the local folks who want to participate in their work and yet do not have the time to stage a successful cam paign. The MOUNTAINKRR has supported all such campaigns down through the years, but in the past 18 months has given considerable serious study to the matter and has come to the conclusion that our present tempo of so ciety ? with so many things to do ? makes it almost impossible to carry on campaigns on a single-unit plan as was successfully done even just several years ago. People to day have less time for such things than ever before. There are more clubs, more organi zations to attend; business demands more time; and in fact we are just living at such a rapid pace that we are having to conserve every minute in order to participate in the many demanding things of today. We do not think that people are less inter ested in charity and worthwhile organiza tions, but it is just the fact that our time is being consumed by so many things that the average person does not have time to get out and make the solicitations which are necessary. Some organizations, such as the cancer foundation, still goon the theory th*t the in dividual drive is the best. We are not going to argue that point ? we only cite what hap pened here with this energetic group of young ladies who did an outstanding job a gainst all odds. It is our honest opinion that more and more organizations such as Cancer will real ize the importance of the United Fund plan and will find that is the most satisfactory method, in this fast world in which so many of us find so little time. Waynesville's Third Annual Horse Show Saturday will mark the third annual horse show here, an event which has steadily frown in interest and size for the past few years. This year's show is designed for two shows in one day instead of covering two days as in the past. This year's show will also be composed jjrimarily of local horses and peo ple. The bright spot on the show set for Sat urday is that it is a benefit performance for the newly created Recreation Development Commission, which already has under way a $50,000 swimming pool on the 17-acre rec reation center site. The show gives promise of the utmost in entertainment, and from the interest already shown should be well attended and one of the mast enjoyable yet staged. VIEWS OF OTHER EDITORS The 1957 Automobiles New cars each year seem to be of interest to everyone, and for this reason we are passing on all we have been able to learn about changes in styl ing, colors, etc., so that everyone might start get ling the trading boo early. However, wo do not guar antee any statement in this article to be as repre sented. Some of the features of new cars are expected to include smaller wheels, wider tires, lower pres sure, fuel injection systems, and different head lamps. This is interesting Smaller wheels will make all other cars, including the 1056 models, out of date. The wider tires will mean that tire dealers will have to go to the expense of adding a complete new line of tires to existing stocks. The fuel in jector will perhaps run gas through the motor even faster than it goes with the currait models. The new cars are also expected to feature a low er silhouette. This means if you aren't careful, in going out doors in the dark you are liable to stumble and fall across them. They are also ex pected to have more subdued colors. This Means one wpn't need his dark glasses while sitting on the front Porch watching traffic go by. <rt?e new models, so far as we can learn, are ex pected to reach the market in October and Novem ber. and will probably be prtnrd *tb0 or more higher than the current models. But then, no one asks the pride of aaythlng any more, they just ask bow much H w#l be a mgnth As for additional horaeower, we suppose it will be there, which VHi man an ?Wn buffer volume M bM abates dec haapbali and fuasrai dheateea. . ?

Some time ago the moving pic ture theatre over in Yanceyviiie let it be known that the manage ment was going to give away a jackpot which consisted of a nice sum of money. On the night of the drawing, Mr. Horton was in the theatre. He went to see the picture, and wasn't especially in terested in the jackpyt feature. After the main feature had been run off, the manager of the theatre and a couple of assistants appeared on the stage and an nounced that the drawing would take place. A large box contained hundreds of tickets. Everybody in the theatre had a stub One of the assistants got a stick and stir red the tickets up thoroughly, fol lowing which the box was thor oughly shaken No question but that the con tents were well mixed. And now," said the manager. w*e will draw the lucky numb?r." A little girl placed her hand in the box. pulled out a number and gave it to the manager. He look ed at it and bellowed: "The win ner is number 129." There was a moment's silence. Then Lawyer W. Banks Horton rose to his feet and announced: "Here you are!" He got the money and was warmly congratulated by his many friends. "You certainly are lucky'" everybody told him. Mr. Horton smiled modestly and said it was the first thing he had ever won at a drawing in all hLs life. The following week a second drawing was held. The same scene was enacted at the theatre "Number 203!" shouted the man ager Nobody present had the corresponding number, so the money went back into the jackpot and the manager announced it would be added to the sum drawn for the following week The next morning somebody was talking to Mr. Horton about the drawing. "Who won it?" asked the law yer Nobody* was the answer. "The number drawn was 203 but the holder of the stub wasn't present." Mr Horton reached into his pocket and pulled out a stub His eyes popped when he looked at the number. It was 203! The friend laughed heartily "Your luck certainly has chang ed." he chortled. "Last week you were the luckiest man in Yancey viiie. and this week you're the un luckiest " Mr Horton agreed with him When the next drawing was held. Mr Horton was among those present. Everybody waited breathlessly while the number was drawn and was handed over to the manager "Number 812!" he announced Silence in the audience, follow ed by a few disappointed groans Then a man rose slowly to his feet with a somewhat sheepish expression. "The got it!" he said Tt ww Mr W Banks Horton affsnn. A murmur of indignation and resentment rose from the audi Everybody up in Yancey *"OWT everybody else, so ?bey don t mind expressing them selves freely. s a fake " yelled someone Certainly it u!" yelled some One else Mr. Horton raised his hand and yfofr quieted down. "My TrH"Wfls,~ Tft "fhtx certkJHTy Is embarrassing to me I don't ? a blame you for thinking that there's something crooked about this proposition, but I can assure you that there is absolutely noth ing crooked about it. It is just one of the most remarkable happen ings I've ever heard of. At the same time, I believe in giving everybody a chance, so I wish to state that I cannot accept the jackpot, and I would appreciate it if the manager would hold an oher drawing." A hearty round of applause went up, "You're entitled to it. Mr. Mor ton," the manager said. "You won the money fair and square." "I'd rather not take it." said the lawyer. "O.K." said the manager. "You're the boss." Whereupon he tossed Mr. Horton's number back into the box again. "Stir 'em up real good, Jim," he told one of his assistants. Jim stirred to beat the band. The little girl came forward again. She reached into the box and drew out a number She handed it to the manager. H? took it. "The winner this time," he announced ? and then he paused to look at the number. He looked. He looked again. An expression of dumfounded con sternation spread over his face. He looked helplessly out upon the audience. "Let's have it!" shouted per sons here and there. "The winner." said the man ager, "is number 812!" You could have heard a pin drop. And then, in a tone of in tense feeling, there came from someone in the audience the com ment: "Well?I'll be damned'" It apparently expressed the sentiments of everybody Mr Morton's number, thrown back in to the box. thoroughly mixed up with the others, had been pulled out again. He went to the front of the the atre. took the money and went home. WORTIfY OF THFIR HIRF. If trains and busses are allowed to grant lower fares to preachers, certainly airlines should be given that right as is proposed in a bill passed by the House. But it is hard to see why preachers should get any such privileges. The whole business seems a hangover from the time when clergymen were expected to live /iews Of Other Editors WHERE'S THE PAPER BOY? Came across a little poem the other day that I had clipped and it has a lot of truth in it. When The Paper Doesn't Come My father says the paper he reads ain't P"t up right; He finds a lot of fault, too, he does, perusin' it all right; He says there ain't a single thing in worth to read, And that it doesn't print the kind of stuff the people need; He tosses it aside and says it's strictly on the bum, But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come. He reads about the weddings and he snorts like all get out; He reads the social doin's with a most derisive shout. He says they make the papers for the women folks alone; He'll read about the parties and he'll fume and fret and groan. He says of information it doesn't have a crumb? But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come. He is always first to grab it and he reads it plum clean through. He doesn't miss an item, or a want ad?that is true. He says they don't know what we want, the darn newspaper guys; "I'm going to take a day some time and go and put 'em wise: "Sometime it seems as though they must be deaf and blind and dumb " But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come. ?J. D Fitz, in The Morganton News-Herald. on handouts. Lower fares and other discounts for preachers are unconsciously designed to per petuate the system of underpay ing them Bigger and bigger and more churches are being built all over America. The cost of their con struction has mounted with every thing else And such construction is evidence of the ability of or ganized churches to pay their ministers salaries in line with those paid other men in positions of equal dignity and responsibil ity. Preachers are worthy of their hire and they ought not to be kept in the position of begging for special favors for transporta tion or anything else. ?

' / / 'SSSSs^T'* Rambling 'Round fir France* Gilbert Frsuier ** I walked alone along a road, I'd often walked before. A winding road it was. dear one. That led me to a shore Of shining sands, where crested waves Leaped high to greet me there. An azure sky colored the sea, ' And all the world was fair. The flying spray fell on my lips. Then suddenly I knew That sometime in the Great Beyond I'd walk these sands with you. We'd gather shells and watch the gulls Go circling high above We'd talk of many, many things. . . And then we'd speak of love. The time has come when I must go And walk that steep incline, But not alone this time, dear one , ? ? Your hand is clasped in mine A Heard in passing: "No, I ain't goin' to vote. With my Wk I'd be sure to elect the wrong guy." To us old timers, the serial in silent movies called "The Perils of Pauline" will be long remembered. This beautiful heroins was beset with all the calamities contained in the book but she always managed to emerge with both her disposition and blonde hair un ruffled. As we remember, Pearl White was the fearsome lady who, in her eagerness to right a wrong, invariably escaped death by the click of a camera. Well, let us tell you if Pauline was trying out a perilous life nowadays, we know exactly the proper spot we'd select for the love ly lady . . . and if her blonde hair didn't stand straight up in horror it would be because said hair was transplanted. Suppose we take fair Pauline to the corner of Main and Depot streets, anv morning, noon or afternoon. If she starts toward the bank, on the green light, she'll have to duck cars bearing down in both directions on their way down Depot street. Then let her try against the red light (seem ingly her only escape) and she'll find herself being merrily tossed to and fro (mostly fro) by the onrushing traffic, also from both direc tions, en route from Depot back into Main. Lo, the poor pedestrian has a hectic time of it at this corner and our suggestion is that said pedestrian select one side of Main street and stay there. Flattery is a flower that has no fragrance.
