tute was enacted, applicable only
to that county, which prohibited
Its commissioners from borrow
ing in any one year more than
half of the tax levy for that year.
The law also provided that any
money borrowed must be paid
out of the tax levy for that year,
limiting the borrowings to what
could be repaid in year and for
bidding any long-term public Dor
rowing except for refunding of
existing Indebtedness. 1t applied
not only to county commission
ers but to any city board in that
county.
1t prohibited the issuance OF
bonds for any purpose-with OF
without vote Of the people-ex-
cept for payment of then-exist,
ing debt.
The legislation now initiated
apparently would leave Ashe
County free to issue bonds fol-
schools or public improvements
like the other counties of North
Carolina.

The Everyday
Counselor
Rev. Herbert Spaugh, d. D.

When are we going TO learn
that the grass is not always
grceneSt on the other side Of the
fence, and that we do not have
to leave home to find those things
which we think are best?
From Lenox. Massachusetts,
comes the story Of a man who
went deer hunting, leaving his
wife at home. He left early, and
late in the evening came trudging
home with nothing but his gun,
tired and discouraged. His wife
then led him to the garage and
showed him 95-pound buck
hanging from the wall. She had
felled the deer in her own gar
den, after sighting it from her
kitchen window.
Of course this is an exceptional
story, but don't we all have the
habit of wanting to leave our own
homes for the best public speak
er, the best preacher, lawyer, doc
tor, the best scenery, the best
merchandise?
This reminds me of one of those
stories handed down in old Salem,
N. c. In the early days of the
settlement, one of the industries
was pottery, where among 9TH
er things excellent clay pipes were
manufactured. Cigars and Gig

The Cost OfCOal

The Saturday Evening Post recently
published an editorial which should be
read and remembered by every coal miner
in the United States. Entitled, "Will Coal
Price Itself Out of the Market?" it deals
with a simple and incontrovertible eco
nomic truth which Mr. Lewis followers
seem to have forgotten.
The Post says, "Demand for any COM
modify for which substitutes exist can
never be considered fixed or taken for
granted" Coal is our primary source Of
industrial energy-but other sources, such
as oil and natural gas, can be employed for
many Of the same purposes. Coal, in other
words, is competitive commodity it
must seek it's markets in the face of grow
ing competition.
The Post cites few thought-provoking
Statistics Not so many years ago, all rail
road locomotives were coal fired. During
1945, on the other hand, the Class l rail
ways installed 534 diesel and electric loco
motives against only 100 powered with
steam. A similar situation exists in the
field of home heating In 1910, 80 per cent
of all FHA-financed homes used coal. By
comparison, of the first $4,000 permits
issued for home building under the vet
Grams priority plan but q per cent speci-
fled the use of coal-and the balance
specified other fuels.
Some Of these changes are evolution
airy in nature, and to be expected. What
they do, however, is to point to the possible
economic consequences to an industry
when the cost of producing its product
rises disproportionately To quote the Post
once more, 1T is certainly no service to
the miners to make extravagant demands
which can only result in such drastic in
creaSes in cost as to price coal out of it's
market and coal miners out of Jobs"
The primary interest of labor, in any
field is the preservation of profitable,
progressive industry capable of providing
continuous employment Beyond a GER
tain point, higher wages can only result
from increased production or more eff
Gent production-if the industry in ques-
ton is to survive. That is the hard truth.
difficult as it may be for some labor lead
ers to accept.

arettes were not yet in vogue. and
smokers kept sets Of clay pipes,
from which they offered visitors
a choice who would smoke with
them. A fresh reed stem was put
IN the pipe.
One resident, dissatisfied with
the home product, saw an adver-
tlSement from New York of an
expensive set of clay pipes in
pluSh-lined case. He ordered
them. When they arrived he dis
covered to his surprise that they
were made in Salem"
We don't have to leave home to
find the best things in life; they
are with us all the time. Where
are better friends than the home
town friends? Who will do more
for us in time of need than the
members of our own families?
Men and women are roaming
over the country, searching for
happiness and peace. An in
creasing number of books are
coming from the press telling us
how to find it. A host of new
ills are assailing us, which we
are being told comes from inward
tension, Illustration and unhappi-
ness.

BARRIERS Opposed

izing legislative investigation of
the administration of the barber
law by the State Board of Barber
Examiners.
Appearing before House Judi

clared it was unfair to single out
the barber board for legislative
inquiry, and they maintained the
work Of the board was being con-
Quoted fairly and competently.
Committee action on the reso-
luton was deferred until Thurs

said, will prove the need for an

CHEROKEE, Sept. %. -tP)-
More than 1000 people, nearly
half of whom were from out of
the state, attended the opening
day of the 30th annual Cherokee
Indian fair here today.
The trek to the annual event
began early, as members of the
tribe moved into the show
grounds to add finishing touches
to, their exhibits. By mid-morn-
ing a steady stream of automo-
biles was making its way into
the fair grounds, as visitors
streamed in from widely scatter
ed sections.
The archery and blowgun con-
tests, along with the traditional
Indian dance and the Indian ball
game, attracted wide attention.
Scores of persons filed past the
exhibits of agricultural items,
poultry, and ,handicraft. A dem
onstration of traditional Chero-
kee dances was also on the days
program.
The fair will continue through
Saturday, with Indian dances
and various sports on the daily

SEATTLE. Sept, %.

SEATTLE, Sept. %. up -
Sen. Robert Taft (R-Ohio) suf-
fered a badly crushed left hand
when the driver of his car
slammed the door on it in the
confusion of a vociferous and
tumultuous reception here late
today.
Morris Plummer, member OF
the reception committee, said The
accident occurred after something
was tossed at the cal. Plummer
said it was ian egg or a tomato
OF something"
A booing crowd bearing pla-
cards was massed before the
station when Senator and Mrs.
Taft arrived here from Reno,
New. to make a major speech to-
night on the labor issue as part
of his western presidential
sounding trip.
Taft's aides said the senator's
hand was badly torn across the
palm and fingers and that the
wound might require several
stitches.
They raid, pending a more
thorough examination, that ap-
parently no bones were broken.
The senator was smiling and
seemingly unperturbed when he
arrived at his hotel. However,

F., his hand was wrapped in a bloody
handkerchief.
Plummer's version of the &C.
cident was:
Something was thrown into
the car. I don't exactly know
what it was. The driver stepped
out to flick it out and when he
stepped back in he closed thu
door on the senator's hand. Il
was purely an accident"
A roaring chorus of boos greet
ed the Taft party when it emery
ed from the train shed. This was
literally sprinkled, however,
with cheers and handclapping
from those greeting the Repub-
lican leader.
The railroad station hecklers
were led by former Congress
man Hugh De Lacy, defeated
Seattle Democrat. He said the
crowd included several hundred
persons from 10 unions who
wanted to give vent to their
disapproval of the senator.
Several of their placards bore
the Progressive Citizens Of
America" label, and one of them
added: "Wallace in 1948."
Others included: Seattle La

Numerous police were on
duty at the crowded station.

phasized that the association

The program calls for the fol

Marie B. NOEL, executive scere'
tary of the N. c. Nurses associa-
ton, charged today that Miss
Ellen Nuchols, supervisor Of
nurses at Watts hospital al
Durham, had been discharged
today following a meeting o.
nurses at Durham last night al
which a ''collective bargaining
for nurses was discussed.
Miss NOEL said that at the
meeting of nurses of District
Five of the association, it was
decided that nurses at the var
ious hospitals should appoint
committees to approach hospita.
authorities on minimum stan
dards'" of pay and working con
ditions which were adopted by
the state association last sum
mer as an objective.
Miss Nuchols reported that
the reason given her by Watts
hospital authorities for her dis
charge was that a nurse hac
complained that a ward was in
an unsanitary condition last
Saturday, Miss NOEL said.
Miss Nuchols, she added, is
chief of the institutional stat
nurse section of District Five
and presided at last nights

in the home of the Watts hospi
