Probably never before in history are ma

time honored adage, united we stand and
divided we fall is as true today as when
it was first uttered.
It is in such trying times through which
we are now living that unity among our
selves is doubly important. Emphasizing
this President Roosevelt has proclaimed

Week. The week this year is dedicated to
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, a
man long noted for his tolerance.
In proclaiming it Roosevelt uttered this

and synagogue in public hall and home -.

building, with the second story
being on level with the high
way, which it will face. On the
top floor fill be the office, freez-
er-lockers, processing room, and
egg storage space. The building
will be 40 by SO feet and the en-
tire first floor will be devoted
to storage space for Irish pota
toes, vegetables, eggs and so on.
If packed in crates, this space
will hold around $500 bushels of
potatoes and the egg storage,
, around 800 cases, it is estimated.
When the potatoes are re-
moved, other things such as eggs
can be stored downstairs" MIR.
Price pointed out.
The size of the lobby is 12x16;
processing room, 12x18; freezer
locker room, 15x19. A total of 200
freezer-lockers will be construc-
ted. The size of the individual
lockers in which meats, vegeta-
bles, eggs and fruits can be
stored for family use, will be
about 18 inches by 80 inches deep
and Is inches wide. These are es-
timated to hold around 400 lbs.
They will be of drawer design
and will be built S tiers high.
Some of the directors present
pointed out that more storage
room is needed for seed Irish po-
tatoes, in fact 1--WE could store
100000 bushels a year," one of
them stated.
In reply, Mr.. Vannort ex-
planned that REA had allotted
only $4,000 for the project and
advised the construction of this
building and then the securing of
more funds for building storage
rooms. It was agreed, however,
that an effort will be made in
the meantime to secure more
;; funds for additional storage
space.
The Blue Ridge Cold Storage
Cooperative was organized in
the fall of 1899, with over 300
members. REA approval, the first
in North Carolina, was given in
January, 1910. A charter was
granted by the state in April,
1910, and officers and directors
elected.
The officers are: Gwyn Price,
president; w. B. Oliver. vice pres
ident; Don Francis, secretary and
Carl GRAPHICAL, treasurer. The
other directors include Fred Col
ward, Dent Pennington, Charlie
Collins, Vann Miller, J. B. Hash,
J. w. Gambill, E. A. Ray, w. L.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
We must keep our freedom with
all diligence for out of it proceeds
the hope Of the world.
We must keep our ship of state
sailing the sea of Americanism.
The sea that will someday roll up
en- the shores of every nation on
earth.
It is a stormy day in world af-
/ fairs. Some of the branches of de-
mocracy have been destroyed by
the lightning Of Hitler. but the
principles of democracy are the
principles of God and no man or
combination of men can destroy
them.
We must not only believe in
those principles but we must
obey the originator of them. God
takes the blessings of democracy
away from the countries that for
get him.
Our democracy was born to
serve. 1t is serving and it will not
become the servant of dictator
ships. Democracy will work as
long as we pay it what we owe
it. We can't take the privileges
of democracy on the credit.
There are no faults in the dem
ocratic way Of life except the
ones we create by our failure to
appreciate and preserve the vir-
tues of it.
We who make up the citizenry
Of this distinctive country must
be a thinking people or we will
be a sinking people. Propaganda
is now the strongest weapon in
use against democracy. Dictators
fool the people they represent
and rule them. We must not con-
tinue to be suckers of propagan-
da.
Children either grow or grunt
and so it is with government. We
must be thrifty or we will be
drifty. If we are not productive
we will be destructive. Idleness
is the graveyard of democracy.
We must be toolers and not fool
ers.
We must be armed with an. ad-
venturous faith in Americanisn If

Forging Ahead

An encouraging note of the progress in
the long established ive-at-home cam
paign IN this state is bearing fruit. The re-
cent report that food canned during the
past year had value of 81, al ,213 signifies
that the farm folks are learning and put
ting into practice program Of economy.
The fact that there were 1921, 702 con-
tainers of fruits, vegetables, meats and jel-
lies canned clearly shows the tremendous
volume of food that can be conserved when
there is willingness to do so.
This newspaper has time and time again
lamented at the lack of SO many people
that depend upon relief for help who failed
to take advantage of the surplus crops of
fruits and vegetables here in Haywood and
can them for winter use.
Just how much of this was canned in
Haywood we do not know, but from all re-
ports last year was an above the average
for canning, which is in keeping with the
state as whole.
The sooner people learn to conserve ra-
Their than waste, the sooner their economic
status is going to improve.-The Waynes-
vile Mountaineer.

An Educated Legislature

North Cardinals 1941 General Assem-
bly, has been greatly concerned about edu-
cation, higher education, public schools,
teachers, adult education, vocational edu-
cation and other phases as we'll as the ma
chinery of our educational system.
Certainly our law-making body is to be
commended for its, interest and. activity.
For while the Tar Heel state has come a
long way, it still has far to 60 to take its
rightful rank in the educational field with
other states
The teacher who has long been neglec-
ted or to be more exact unprotected, for
many years, is receiving much attention
This week bill was introduced which
provides that contracts of teachers would
continue from year to year unless teach
er was notified that her services were no
longer wanted. This bill also provides that
principles would be appointed for two
year terms instead of one. There are other
provisions of the measure including four
year terms for superintendent, instead of
two.
Advocates of the bill point out that it
would remove politics from our schools,
would give the teachers a better oppor-
tunity for service and would in general,
help the public educational system of
North Carolina Our teachers are the chief
wheels of our educational machinery And
if the proposed bill will aid them to make
it run better we are in favor of it; for like
all progressive Tar Heels we want to see
our schools 60 forward!
