THE VALUE 01 THE STORY HOUR I nder the above caption, a member ot the oman'.s Club wrote the following article, which contained such good thoughts that we are using it editorially m the hope that it might bring renewed enthusiasm into their worthy undertaking. The oral storv has a verv large place in tlie education of clnldern. Without doubt, it furnishes the chief means of using the imagi nation in the direction of a wider mental hori zon, and should (ill an important place in the day's program ot each child. The ideal place for story telling is the home, but since our modern methods of living have so changed home life, tin- art and custom of fireside story telling lias, waned. Seeing the need of a story hour iu the community, the Women's Clubs of Way nesville have sponsored a story hour this seas-! ; on which has proved both interesting and help .fuh .''.. ' ; r. . The story is j untold value to every child.; i-'irst of aii, it tires the imagination and creates a desire lor reading, study, and activity. It ostei.- a love for . good literature and gives a background and an introduction to a wide scope ot reading matter. In this wav, an ac quaintance with the best authors is cultivated. Some spark of creative genius is aroused, for the story, lias given a pat tern Tor 'storv build ing and dramatization. Through the story coriect use of v orK phrase and -entences is learned. Thus the vocabulary is enlarged and enriched and pronunciation and enunciation is improved. Some stories have historical settings and background, and in this way give a wealth of historical knowledge. Still others use Geogra phic, .scientific or biological factors, dening the scope of education along that line. Aside from these factors, the good stoiy has a moral appeal and is a great aid in character building, as well as a source of entertainment and useful employment during idle hours. Children are naturally good and if given the proper outlet for their energies, are never bad and mischiev- ous. So Mr. Roosevelt gave a Dern to the War Department. Add to Est of things the county needs More plow line and less bread lines. OUR NEIGHBORS During the past 10 days the business world has gone through some trying circumstances, but so far the people of this nation have stuck to each other and the situation has been met calmly and bravely. Close observations during the past few days, have reminded us of the sermon we heard preached recently by a prominent pastor of this state, during which he brought out tho lolloping points, which we pass on for what they are worth. They have meant much to us. "The world is now one large community, anil everyone's actions touche someone else. "The man who lives for himself today is not living a Christian life, and is not a good citizen. "Have tin interest in your fellow man. "You can't get along without your neigh bor. "You can't afford to enrich yourself at the ; p( use of the other fedow." There is no doubt but that the financial doubles the world is having has had a tendancy lo bring men closer to each other and make i hem more neighborly and instill in them a keener understanding of each other's burdens. ,ViIO SHOULD PAY FOR HIGHWAYS Same ume ago a commission was appoint ; in !:-.tf:nr.(J to dvterinine what proportion of :,o ; an I u-w-'ep of the highways .-hould be .ii ' oy tlii ;'omn! rcial trucks. Four men rep- nliiit the raihoads, and four men represent-. mole' iais were put on this commission. i',ie ei;rht egieed ot: a ninth man who wa-chairman.- 'I no annual cost of maintaining the English :.:giiw;; .y.-tem is about $:00,000,00. The i.ha.nniou.' recommendation of the-commission . that the commercial trucks should pay lUncticaliy forty per cent of the cost ami up !:. ; . p of i i h pubiic highways, and all other motor . eno-les the balance. il tiie conclusion reached is sound and fair ...'Uio sf.-.'iii that Tarmois and other owners of private moloi cars in this country are carry -nig tot ei'oiinous tax burden That belongs, on. ! 1 1 r shouldeis. -Farmers should demand a re adjustment of the. highway lax burden at. once, ii is. believed that farmers have paid Out many millions of dollars for public highways that should have been paid by others. -Southern Agricult unst. THOMAS A. EDISON Thomas A. Edison will go down in history as an inventor and will be probably thought of in terms nl an inventor, but we found the other day some savings of his which we feel are worthy ol the deep consideration of our readers After reading these "gems," said to have been written bv Edison, we believe that many will have an entirely different opinion of the freat inventor-philosopher. "The greatest monument of all times was the Cross of Calvary. It had a greater effect on more people for a longer time than anything erected by man. "One-generation doesn't profit by the pain of another. "This fellow Ford is like a postage stamp. He sticks to a thing until he gets there. "I have friends in overalls whose friend ship I would not swap for the favor of kings. "Fools call wise men fools. IJut a wise man never calls any man a fool. "A man's best friend is a good wife, "Look at the moon it winks at the world's ignorance. "A good idea never was lost. Its possessor mav die, but it will be reborn in the mind of another. "Our goal is peace and preparedness is the road to it. "Time is the cheapest thing in life, and the only thing you cannot buy. "Even a man that doesn't amount to much usually gets a hearing when he's telling the truth." ' .' : Haywood county is one of the few coun ties in the state that did not default in meeting their obligations recently. Of the four incorpo hated towns in the county, only one, Clyde de faulted, and that was a very small amount. It is not that we all don't know what is the matter with the country today, its doing some thing about it. Last year the people of the United States paid over $216,600,000 in gasoline taxes. A kind of privilege tax, maybe. Spending that much for the privilege to burn money. Our printers have heard "save and eco nomise" so much that last week they left the "O" out of tourist in the editorial column in order to save that much ink, or at least maybe that was the reason.

Your editorial on community adver. tiidhe- was intere-tine and very timely. Your suggestion as to rasing money from hotels and boarding houses was very much to the point because these institutions reap first benefit from the tourist business. I thought perhaps you would be interested in one of our lists showing how we handle this matter. Board ing houses and hotels must carry at least one membership of $12.00 per year. Those with room for rent (no meals being served) are required to pay $5 00 a year, paid in advance. This rate sheet is the most servicable piece of literature we have in the office. . Cordially yours, NOAH HOLLOWELL, . Secretary of Hendersonville Cham of Commerce. : LIGHT AND DARKNESS Ah the beautiful sunshine, That makes the world so bright. Just for your pleasure and mine If we will only do right. There may come some dark days When all brightness seems gone. Its then that temptation plays And satan tempts us to wrong. It's then, we must ask for His power To keep us when in temptation ways For He can be to us in this hour As He can in the brightest days. H. B. Freeman.
