Within the past fcJr days there have been four Haywood citizens to lose their lives in automobile accidents on Highway No. l'J. Sevt ral others were injured at the same time. With lour lives wiped out in less than two weeks is si.llicier.t to make anyone stop and think over the matter of highway accidents. Perhaps neither of the accidents which caused the leath of the four could be avoided. But at any ratethere are four dead. The state law, gives -lo miles an hour as a speed limit. Tiie state also provides highway patrolmen to protect saf drivers from wreck less ones. This force of patrolmen will soon be increased by about 70 men, but even then there will be speeding 'ami accidents. It seems to us that because of the general disregard lor law, and in many cases, the safety of others, that it would be a worthwhile prac tice for the state, county, or some civic orga nization of the different localities to place at the scene of each fatal accident a large white cross Then the average would-be careless driver could not help but see the crosses and realize what had happened at that very spot. NOT A UONTRIUUTION BUT AN INVEST MENT The Chamber of Commerce annual mem bership drive got underway Tuesdaj morning. The response tii'Js far has been most gratifying, but there are still many who should have mem berships in the organization. When boiled down to the final analysis, a memhersnip to the Chamber of Commerce is not a contribution, it is an investment. The organization is working for the community, and anything that will better the community is worthwhile thing. Not only does the organization need your investment, but it needs your support after wards. It cannot function on money alone neither can it function properly without, money. POST CARD DAY Saturday, June 1st, has been .vt aside as Post Card Day for this community. The pur pose being to send out thousands of post cards with local views all over the country. If you're a booster of your community, be proud enough to send pictures of it elsewhere. ON THE GO We seriously doubt if there is another towr in the state the size of Waynesville where the business men are more co-operative than in Waynesville. Tuesday morning twenty-one of a group of twenty-three met at a seven-thirty breakfast to -discuss and formulate definite plans for the Chamber of Commerce drive. The two that were absent had good reasons. Where a spirit like that exists the com munity is bound to go forward WATCH WAYNESVILLE. THE CITY PARK IS REALLY WORTHWHILE Work is going right ahead on the develop ment of the city park on East Street, and all indications are that it will be much better than all expectations. Oscar L. Briggs is supervis ing the work and is anxious to have sugges tions from the citizens of the community re garding the further development of the park. The Civic League and the local Rotary Club have donated about a hundred bags of cement for the construction of a wading pool and rest rooms. : With tentative plans of building a zoo at the park, it seems that the new development should be the center of much activity and rec reation this summer. '., . ". The action of the legislature during the final hours of the l'J-Mo session will long be re membered in North Carolina History, inasmuch as "something new under the sun" was brought to iight that of giving 17 counties the right to vo;e whether or not they would be wet or dry. The counties are all in the eastern part of the state, but if the voters do decide to legalize liquor in the respective counties the state will have no control over the matter not even to the extent of deriving any revenue. Ever since the wet and dry election in 193.'3 the cry has been to legalize liquor in order to raise much needed revenue, and now, in the twinkling of an eye, the legislature not only reversed the decision of the voters on the liquor question, but completely passed up the "main objective" of raising revenue. It does not stand to reason that locl liquo laws are the best for all concerned, especially where the areas are as small as the ones wnich the legislature designated last Saturday. Several here have expressed themselves as being of the opinion that the seacoast resorts would advertise the fact that liquor was legal in their localities and would make every effort to take the tourist business from Western North Carolina this year That is hardly probable, especially with local conditions as they are. The legislature liked a lot of settling North Carolina's liquor question in fact its more un settled now than ever, but this much can be said for it, more people will study North Caro lina geography now than ever before. TO HELL WITH WAR "War alone," muses Mussolini, "brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it." He may be able to get away with such junk as he passes in and out among the cradles in which Italian infantility is resting, but if he should try to pull' it on the lame, halt and bliid veterans of his countrymen who have the stamp of incurable wounds in their bodies as well as "the stamp of nobility" upon them, made by war, he would probably g.'t severely laughed at. If indeed, he did not catch the full brunt of a stroke from some limping former sold:er's cane! This sort of folly has always been para mounted in the jargon of the junVers, the war lords, and kings who make the wars and ihen repair to castled distances to hear reports on how the human cannon fodder is lasting. War is not to be rhapsodized. It is every where and at all times to be. scorned and scoffed at as man's most colossal crime. To hell with it ! Julian S. Miller in Charlotte Observer. YOUR HOME TOWN MERCHANT When the people of this community take .stock of the local situation they must surely realize that no town can grow unless it has the loyal and enthusiastic support oi the in habitants thereof. Thi. modern, progressive merchant does not expect' a buyer to pay him two prU.es for the same gooch that his mail order competitor sells. He wishes, however, the citizens tnink about the difference in the service that is rendered our community by a store here and a store in an out of town place. When you want to buy an article at once .you go to the home merchant; when you Want credit you know him well ; w hen you want ser vice to back your purchase you see him; when you rely upon honest advice as to what to buy you realize his worth ; when you see a small article at an apparently cheap price you, some times, order it without realizing that there are extra charges to be consirered, time to be lost, and a keep-it-whether-you-like-it-or-not risk to run. The way to help this community to grow is to help its business to expand. Do your part.. A BIG NEED OF YOUTH Fundamentally, the youth of today are just as idealistic, just as courageous, just a loyal as they ever were. What they need, though they are not always aware of that fact, is wise leadership, and one of the main Causes of their unrest is that upon looking around the world they do not find enough of that type of leadership. If we the older generation are wise we will not waste time in deploring youth's spirit of adventure and change; we will sympa thize with it, cooperate with it, and seek to guide it. Walter D. Head, in the Rotarian Magazine. Another thing the legislature forgot was to make it unlawful for bantam autos to have horns like busses. Ex. Random SIDE GLANCES Hv W.
