Your Chamber1 Of Commerce
, By J. E. S. THORPE
MACON COUNTY has many natural advantages
which can, with thought and effort on the part
of its citizens, be made to yield good returns at
home and provide pleasure and interest to those
who travel our way.
These natural advantages will not, however, yield
returns or provide pleasure unless those who come
are enabled to enjoy them in comfort.
Bear in mind that a large percentage of the people
who travel our way are intent on reaching their
destination and unless attracted by something out
of the ordinary, which commands their attention,
will not stop; but if attracted, will not only stop
but if made comfortable will tell others about it.
This is how the outstanding places of interest ' in
this country became famous as resorts.
-: The highway department is making an effort to
erase the blemishes caused by construction of the
highways. This should be encouraged.. Franklin,
our county seat, can also be made more attractive.
Your Chamber of Commerce has done and con-'
tinues to do everythingit can to bring people to
this section. It is a big job and one which needs the
support of all. If you do support it and give a help
ing hand when called Upon, you will realize your
help has not been in vain.
Remember the Chamber of Commerce 'is your in
stitution. Its officers will, continue to bend every
effort to guide the work that is necessary to ac
complish the results, but without your aid it is im
possible for so few to do so much.
Folders describing the advantages of Franklin
and Alacon county have -been .mailed to scores of
places and people throughout the country. Make
certain that those yhp respond and come here are,
not disappointed but on the contrary, when they
leave here, they will leave as boosters of this sec
tion. This is the most constructive advertising you
can provide, yithout your help the Chamber of
Commerce can do little, with your help, much.
Lend it your support.
"Come Wind, Come Weather"
are indebted to Dr. Lewis W. Elias of Ashe
" ville, whom Franklin also claims, for a copy
: of Daphne DuMaurier's "book of the moment", pub
lished first in Great Britain, entitled "Come Wind,
Come Weather."
In England, where over 600,000 copies have al
ready been sold, Dr. Elias writes' that it is being'
read in air raid shelters to help inmates against the
terror of bombs and that Egyptian and Indian ed
itions are being published. In Canada and in the
. United States this little book of spiritual defense is
being listed as a "war need."
As preface to the American edition the author has
written "A Word to America", in which she says,
"We believe that side by side with this war in
Europe we are fighting another battle, The battle
against human selfishness. When that battle has
been won, we can look with confidence to the future
and to a new world order, founded not on rivalry
and greed, not on national interest alone, but on
unity, cooperation and unselfishness, ...
'There are many millions of people in your coun
try who are bewildered, doubtful, dissatisfied, know
ing in their hearts that somewhere there lies a solu
tion to every human problem, and every national
one as well. . . . It is not the great leaders, the
great soldiers, the great poets, who win the battle.
It is the people themselves. . . . They will be among
the pioneers of the new America, that you are go
ing to build, an America wdiOse claim to the proud
name "United States" will have meaning and pur
pose for the world, and whose gay flag, bright with
stars, will not only be a true symbol of your own
unity, but wilL point a finger of faith to heaven
itself."
The message to her own people is carried in brief
sketches of ordinary people in England today who
are fighting and vinning a battle that is seeing
anew the fundamental value of truth, honesty and
and selflessness that give courage to endure
From the old battle hymn of John Bunyan,
written 300 years ago, while England was torn
and divided in a bloodv civil war, Miss DuMaur
ier takes the title of this little book.
"Who would true valor see
Let him come hither,
One here will constant be,
Come wind, come weather. . . ."
Our Mayor And Aldermen
AN election characterized by good feeling and
sportsmanship has resulted in the selection of
a mayor and aldermen for Franklin who will re
ceive the wholehearted support of the citizens.
The large vote received by Mr. Harrison is proof
of the confidence and approval of his fellow citi-

residents who has served his town and county in
various .capacities, he will find the united support

THE WAY TO PKACK
Would you sjul 'war
Crt-atc great Peace ...
TIic" Peace that demands all of. a
man, ,
His love, his life, his veriest self;
Plunge him into the smelting fires
of a work that becomes his
' 'Child.
Give him a hard Peace; a Peace
of discipline and justice...
Kindle him with vision, invite him
to joy and adventure;
Set him- to work, not to create
. things,
But to create man;
Yea, himself.
Go, search your heart, America . . .
Tur.n from the machine to man,
Build, white., there is yet time, a
creative Peace. ... ,
While there is yet time!
For if you reject great Peace,
As surely as vile living brings dis
' ' ease, '
So surely will your selfishness bring
war.

Dear Editor: ,
In thanking you for the inter
esting comment in a recent issue
of the "Press" regarding the High
Hills Jam Pot , and Gift Shop,
Highlands, may I ask you to cor
rect tn staiememt mat 1 am
in any way entitled to any of the
credit for developing the business
or in any way have anything to
do with its ownership or manage
ment.
The Jam Pot idea was planned
and developed by Mr. Frazer Red
den and the business is owned en
tirely by him and he alone is en
titled to whatever credit is due
for its success.
Three years ago he developed
the idea of producing specially pre
pared jams and preserves made
from some of the mountain wild
fruits grown near Highlands and
advertising them throughout the
country where wild fruits are sel
dom procurable.
In addition to the favorable
writeup in the New York Sun, by
one ot Americas foremost food
experts; "Jam Pot" preserves are
already on sale in some of the
leading stores in New York and
other cities and they are popular
froni Texas to Canada and from
San Francisco to Boston.
Highlands benefits by all this.
because each -shipment contains
Jam Pot literature and the at
tendant publicity adds just it much "
