North Carolina v PRESS ASSOCIATION ) THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1933 YOUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Next week a drive will be started for mem bers and funds for The Chamber ul' Commerce. Plans for the drive provide that every local firm and individual shall be given an opportuni ty to become a member and to contribute funds to its support. The drive is being staged by a group of live committees as listed elsewhere. In undertaking this drive, these committee members are contributing their time as a ser vice to the community, and whether or not you contribute, your are. indebted to them. When they visit you, look upon them not as a pest, but as a friend. If you are able, contribute in. proportion to your means. Consider whether you can all'ord not ;o give. Remember that it's your Chamber of Com merce. Remember that it serves jointly Way nesviUe. li.tzelwood and Lake Junaluska. Rea lize that its directors and officers have been selected from the community at large and that it does not represent any particular group. Ap preciate the fact that its primary purpose is to make this community more attractive to norm-folks and tourists alike ; and to bring av out a greater prosperity. Realize, too, that a Chamber of Commerce is absolutely essential, if we are to take advantage of the possibilities afforded by the Park and Parkway. lie a booster and add your support to mak ing 1SW" a year of substantial progress. Join the Chamber of Commerce when the committee calls. Contribute liberally and "Let's help make WaynesviUe grow." C. R. THE COST IS LITTLE This community has for years advertised the fact that it is a beautiful community. It seems to us that to add the word friendly on our advertising would also be appropriate but under no circumstances just add the word, but make it a reality. The expiession as sent Mayor Atkinson from a representative of the Chattanooga Motorcade which recently passed through our town brings to mind the importance of show ing a friendly spirit to the strangers within our gates. It costs so little, but is worth so much. GOINC; AFTER TAXES HOT AND HEAVY For some reason, there have been several thousand people in Haywood County who for years have got ton by without paying any taxes. The result has been that thousands of dollars have been lost, and the "faithful" have paid the tax bill year after year. According to North Carolina laws, a work ing man can be made to pay his taxes, and with that in mind, Tax Collector D. A. Howell has inaugurated a plan to collect taxes. And when he said publicly sometime ago through the columns of this paper that he intended to col lect taxes he evidently wasn't fooling. lie hasn't waited for them to conic ;n and pay, he has gone after them, and as a result in one week he collected from those who have never paid befoio- over $2,000. He and his as-' sistants are now. busily engaged in attaching salaries of all those who have not paid their taxes.. . During the month of March he collected some $11,000. During the month of April this was increased to $16,000. . The record speaks for itself as to what he is doing. JUST CAUSE FOR OPTIMISM According to Ernest L. Withers, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, the inquiries this year exceed that of the past year by two to one. All indications, he says, are that Waynes viUe will have an overflowing crowd here this summer. It might well be said that Mr. Withers' optimistic outlook is not singular, 'but merelv expresses rhe opinion of all those who know the facts. WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA According to our way of thinking, the greatest progress and development to take place in this section of the country during the next year or so will be in Western North Carolina. With the opening of the great park, and construction of the new parkway through fhe most beautiful scenery east of the Mississippi River, the number of tourists and vacationists coming to Western North Carolina is going to be greater than ever before in the history of the state. And, w:th this influx of tourists, there also will follow the construction of new hotels and new summer homes. In addition, there will be new industries and other business enterprises. Keep your eyes on Western North Caro lina: you're going to see some interesting de velopments take place there before long. The State. The WaynesviUe Mountaineer published a 18-page booster edition last week and present ed very ably the assets of WaynesviUe and Hay wood County, Editor W. C. Russ is a former Hendersonville boy.

THANKS Just over the hill at WaynesviUe forty eight pages of creditable Haywood county boost was issued last week by The WaynesviUe Mountaineer this being the largest single is sue of any weekly newspaper in Western North Carolina since memory serves us. A good news paper in a good town. The WaynesviUe Moun taineer did itself proud last week The Transyl vania Times. Brevard. The WaynesviUe Mountaineer, vveek'v newspaper, published in WaynesviUe, issued last Thursday a 48 page Haywood County Boost er Edition. It was a job well done and one of which the publishers, W. C. Russ and M. T. Bridges can justly feel a sense of pride Samp son Independent, Clinton, CONGRATULATIONS MOUNTAINEER Our congratulations so this week to Mr. W. C. Russ, editor, of the WaynesviUe Moun taineer, on the splendid Haywood County Boost er Edition. This edition which was published last week consisted of forty-eight pages and was filled with news articles relating to Haywood County, of which the whole county should feel justly proud.

It is even so when we advocate faith in, loyalty to, and the building up of the home com munity. This paper has written and preached until the subject has almost become a chestnut yet in every new effort there is a sentence some where that strikes a sympathetic chord in ths heart of some person. No effort for local bet terment is entirely in vain. People live in this town because they be lieve in it. They believe in it because it is a good town, regardless of its new defects, and its people 'are the peers of those to be found anywhere. This town may not have the wealth of some more favored communities, but it has character, and character is a possession which can not be purchased with gold. If you believe in your home town you will like it, and if you like it no effort toward its improvement will be too great for you. Again it is urged that you have faith in your own powers, also have faith in your own town. When, you feel like criticising it, check the thought before it is spoken. You can alwavs find something good to say instead, and even then, the half of the truth will never be told. It is a good town now, but faith, loyalty and united action will make it a better one.

The election on Tuesday wa s;er. eral in Haywood municipalities as was in many other towns in the state, In WaynesviUe a light vote was cast for mayor and aldermen because that tattle was fought in the primary, election which was held on l"th of April. The. address of Gov. Kitchen was the main feature of the iiiornnic ex ercises at Academy Hall because it is very rare to have the-' Governor of the state a guest of the town and particularly the school.
