Thu., -core- of .-hoppers who want to stop for only a few uiin"te.s often find no parking space available." the foregoing -tatement was made by the editor of the Chapel, Hill Weekly and we tmmght how true it applit-d to Waynesville. The .rue paper continues by saying: "This condition is becoming a nuisance, and complaints about it are heard fiom an increas ing number of citizens. We are hurting our business when we don't make it easy for shop pers to halt their cars at our stores, and we Miere .should be ai. ordinance forbidding a man in a UOiC to monopolize a parking space all lay. He might iust as well park his car on i side street an. I walk the rrst of the way to his work." "When one goes to a large town we take it as a matter if course that we must park half a dozen blocks or further from the. place where we have business to transact, yet right here we seem to think we have to park right in front of where we work 1 do it myself, because it is the common practice, but I can't see any good reason why those of us whw are here all day shouldn't lea'e the available space for persons", who want to use i' only a little while." "Of course the merchants and their em ployees are not the only persons who use the congested business blocks as a storage place. There are other citiz ns of the community who do the same thing. "What's the answer? The obvious meas ure is to .do what thousands of other communi ties .have done; fix. a time limit on parking. Half an hour has been suggested. Other sug gestions in that the limit lie half an hour in the day-time and longer, at night. One view is that a two-hour stay sho;:Kl be allowed at night for the benefit of those attending the movies." The Chapel Hill citizens have been brought face to face wit h a serious problem, as has Way nesville. Outside of the problems mentioned above, about the most aggrevating, and biggest riusiance is the d uible parking which has be come a habit with a lot of truckers coming into this town. With the coming of summer, and the gene ral increase in traffic on Main Street, it would be well that some drastic steps be taken to help avoid some of the conditions that have made driving on Main Street here dangerous as well as a nuisance in the past. Some one has said that a rut is a grave with both ends knocked out of it. If the number of peddlers and house to house salesmen continues to increase as the season draws nearer, the town will be over-run with them by July first. It seems that ono sure way of getting rid of a certain number of these folks who live off the "fat of the land" at no expense, would be to put a heavy tax on them. Everyone else is taxed, so why not let them share their part? THE COMMUNITY CLEAN UP, PAINT UP CAMPAIGN We could use columns in telling of the im portance of a clean-up, paint-up campaign to the community, but instead we are quoting from 7 of the world's soundest thinkers, their opinion on sucn a campaign like tne one wnicn is be i ri i,- launched in this community this week. Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The home-owner frequently does not give proper considera tion to ;he question of reconditioning his home, consequently he- often docs not give proper value on his investment in his home, either through neglect or through badly planned al terations: . .Even a modest sum properly spent on a good house often enhances its value many fold, giving it not , only a much greater saL and borrowing value, but also giving it much greater utility and btauty." "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." Ph'n ehas ben Yair. m i i FOB SALE vo-Minute sermon - Th"!Jiii j in iu, j. "I like to see a man proud of the place he lives in. "-Abraham Lincoln. "This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in. Unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in." Theodore Rouse-, velt. Random SIDE GLANCES By W. CURTIS RUSS 24 Years Ago in HAYWOOD VI- i YifyiB fif "If good clothes make the man and cer tainly good dits.s gives one a sense of self respect and poise how much more is it true that clean, beautiful surroundings lend a moral tone to a community. Gradually we are getting rid of the squalor of the slums of our big cities of some of the oppressive ugliness of some of the small towns "Calvin C'oolidge. 1 (;. .''.a ou .'l'.'U'i' Mt-ii. u -Mnr or tunc tha: .-tirreJ your U"uj like "Dixie."

The impression made on the outside world by the appearance of any community is a last ing one, and for that reason, if for no other, eery effort should be made to make the com munity almost spotless. The general e'ean and paint up movement has been moving lorward at a rapid pace for the past, two months, but .there is still room for more of this work before the season' formally' opens, which will be about Juiitf first. This one point should be remembered, that the campaign is not for just a few days, or a week, but for weeks and months to come this is only the beginning. I betch i ha en't heard this one, as told .by C.huioe Allen: ' farmer wanted to sell a .neighbor a calf, and told his 'wife when the buyer came oyer to make the pric $o, but 'f h would" t pay that much to take $:!

If so that is encourag ing. If the reason they did not show up was because of laziness its time they were taken from the relief roll. We just -wonder what it indicates.
