News Making
Continued From Editorial Page
Issue of "Reader's Digest", has
the following to say concerning
advertising :
"Advertising did not invent
the products or services which
called forth those jobs, nor in
spire the pioneering courage
that built factories and machin
ery to produce them. What ad
vertising did was to stimulate
ambition and desire ? thd crav
ing to possess, which is the
strongest incentive to produce.
To satisfy this craving the lit
tle factory was impelled to turn
itself into a growing factory;
and then by the pressure of
mass demand, into mass fac
tories. Mass production made
possible mass economies, reflect
ed in declining prices, until the
product that began as the lux
ury of the rich became the
possession of every family that
was willing to work."
That, to me, is a good sum
mation of our economic system
and Mr. Barton is correct in
crediting advertising with being
the stimuli which created the
desire ? which is the motivating
force of our system.
One other thing, to those who
would like to curb advertising
by taxation. There is little or
no advertising behind the Iron
Curtain. But to use another
quote from Mr. Barton, "Adver
tising is of the very essence of
democracy."

Local officials are marking
time before taking any action,
looking to Georgia citizens to
pave the way.
"It looks like something is go
ing to have to be done one way
or the other", Franklin Mayor
W. C. Burrell commented Tues
day.
Bypasses Dillard
Local traffic moving between
Franklin and Clayton is ignor
ing the detour and using in
stead a 3.4-mile gravel road
which bypasses Dillard. This
road (marked ? Mud Creek, Kel
ly Creek, Darnell Creek Falls)
turns off NC 106 about one
tenth of a mile from where
barricades block the highway
to Dillard and turn traffic up
106.

"One Negro boy almost came
out of his bed", when he heard
the intriguing tip-tap of the
dolls, Mr. Wilhide recalled.
All performances of the small
minstrel dancers are free. They
dance for the amusement of
their owner as well as the audi
ence.
"Dan" and "Dinah" started
out as only a "Dan", Just to
amuse Mrs. Wilhide "when she
got down in the dumps about
something," her husband re
veals.
"Then I figured that, like

But he said unto them,
"Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails,
and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust
my hand into his side, I will not believe."
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and
Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut,
and stood in the midst, and said,
"Peace be unto you."
Then saith he to Thomas,
"Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and
reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be
not faithless, but believing."
And Thomas answered and said unto him,
"My Lord and my God."

And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted
up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while
he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up
into heaven.
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy. . . .

FRANKLIN HIGH'S honor graduates for 1955 are shown talking over their high scholastic
averages for the past four years. They are (L to R) Herbert McKelvey, salutatorian, Robert R.
(Bobby) Womaclt, valedictorian, and Miss Virginia Swanson, salutatorian. Herbert and Virginia
tied for salutatorian with averages of 3.9, while Bobby had a 4.0 rec-ord.
every man, he needed a mate,"
the philosophical Mr. Wilhide
continued, "so I went down
into the basement and made
'Dinah'." Mrs. Wilhide helped
make "Dan's" mate presentable
by fashioning her clothes.
It's been "Dan" and "Dinah"
.since.
There's a real trick to mak
ing the jointed dancers per
form, especially with any de
gree of rhythm. They are held
lightly touching the sounding
board, which Mr. Wilhide sits
on, with long sticks in their
backs. He then starts the
sounding board vibrating by
tapping it vigorously with his
index finger, and the dolls'
jointed feet strike it. Mr. Wil
hide says with proper touch,
"Dan" and "Dinah" can just
about do any known step to
any kind of music.
The performance for the
Oteen veterans about proves
this contention, he feels.
"'Dan's' feet have just about
cooled off!"

The building will be 60 by 75
feet and of cement block con
struction with a brick veneer
front, Mr. Mashburn said this
week. He estimated the cost of
construction at $20,000 and the
completion date as mid-June.
Mr. Mashburn said he used 10,
000 yards of dirt to fill the
building site and raise it above
the level of the river.
Improvements costing an esti
mated $2,000 are now under way
at the Franklin Terrace Hotel
on Harrison Avenue. The own
er, Herman Dean, said this cov
ers three kitchen units and a
| living room for the tourist cot
l tages on the grounds.
Lee Wood, a former motor
court operator here, plans in
the very near future to start
construction of a large motel
just over the Little Tennessee
on the left side leaving town.
Filling on the court site has
been under way for some time
and some material already has
been delivered. Mr. Wood has
said it probably ^will be 20 to 25
units.

Just Stay Away
Sunup Monday
Along about sunup Friday,
an embarrassed news editor
of The Press intoned the wish
that Monday's sunup would
never appear. * ?? ?
For it was this red-faced
newsman ? one who prides
himself for accuracy ? who i
caused considerable conster
nation among local game law
enforcement officers by open- i
ing the trout season a day 1
early.
This unintentional deed (a
.mental lag ? he knew better) !
was accomplished in last
week's issue in a humor
touched front page article i
headlined, "Along About Sun- i
up Monday."
And it wasn't long after !
sunup Thursday when a game
protector stepped into The
Press office and calmly an- 1
nounced:
"Someone goofed!"
Trout season, didn't open
until Tuesday.
The second Sunday sing of
the southern division will be
held at the Prentiss Baptist
Church on Middle Skeenah, be- j
ginning at 1:30 p. m.

We wish to express our lhanks
