After extensive surveys of various locations, the following five factors made up our mind for us: (1) educated labor, (2) labor rate, '(3) favorable climate, ; (4) interest and cooperation of i your citizens, end (S) close to the Southern market. The Melville Shoe Company now has 1100 retail outlets, and ian additional one added each ?week. There are still 53,000,000 pairs of shoes imported each year.

The ercellent cooperative spirit is greatly appreciated by our entire staff." County Zoning Laws Needed Ooe of our greatst needs is for our county commissioners to put into effect their powers to zone our cotmty, especially the terri tory adjoining Boone and Blowing Rock. We need to protect those win spend their money to build, in that just any type of building could not be built next to them. We feel this should be done and control residential as well as in dustrial sites. Let's tell our com missioners we will be glad to wufc with them n this most pressing and important matter.

Little Theater Starts Production Tryouts Tryouts began Monday night tor the Boone Little Theater's forthcoming production of Eu gene O'Neill's play, "Beyond the Horizon," which is slated to open its five-day run on November 7, according to director Jerry Moore. The Little Theater's last pro duction, "Anastasia," dosed a tour-night run last Sunday. It was "fairiy well accepted," according to Moore, with attendance aver aging about 16 persons for each performance. Moore pointed out that this attendance could be considered quite satisfactory, since college students are pretty well tied up with other activities during this tame of year. "We got more support from townspeapie than ever before, said Moore. "That, we hope, to a good indication for the coming season." Moore further stated that he was well satisfied with the work of his actors and crew. "The play came off smoothly," he said, "with no muffing or for getting of lines. Everyone did a good job. The play was absorbing and very pretty to look at, thanks to the beautiful costumes which were made by the individual cast members." "Beyond the 'Horizon," the next play on the Little Theater's agenda, is one of the later works of a man whom moot have called America's greatest playwright. Though some of the effects which O'Neill uses in this and other plays may seem bizarre and rather clumsy, no one can deny their power and overall effective ness. "Beyond the Horiaoo" to best described as ia drama with deep meaning but without or?r elaborate symbolical contriv ances. Information as to the members of the cast and further plans for this forthcoming theatrical event will be contained in neext week's Democrat.
