The meeting will be held on July 9, 10 and 11, with perhaps a number remaining over for Saturday afternoon and Sunday. At this time it is hard to predict the num ber that will attend, but a conservative figure is two hundred. Those in attendance will be representatives of newspapers from every sec tion of North Carolina, and from the largest to the smallest. Besides newspaper men and women, there will be a number of representativ es of some of the larger printing supply houses in the country. It would not be asking too much of this community to adopt as one major project for this year "the royal entertainment of this group." . At present tihere is no group in the state in a position to help this community more than the Press Association, while on the other hand we feel that there is no community in the state that is better prepared to entertain this group t'han is Waynesville and vicinity. Plans are already underway for their con vention, and before long different ones hero will be called upon to shoulder certain duties that will lie necessary in making Waynesvilb known" far and wide as "the ideal convention city." It is not too visionary on our part, to feel that once we get the habit of entertaining con ventions that they will become a part of our summer business, and certainly a profitable part. Several other communities made strong bids for the Press Association for this year, but Waynesville's offers were accepted. PURE-BRED STOCK This week four pure-bred Guernsey ani mals were purchased by Haywood County peo ple, , or groups, and brought here for breeding purposes. The animals were not just cheap pick-ups, but from the test Guernsey herds in the state. Those who lack vision, fail to understand why the necessity of paying 'handsome prices for such stock, yet if they only know the num ber of inquiries that are coming into this coun ty for information about pure-bred stock, and where it can be bought, there would be a dif ferent feeling. Within a short two years, this entire coun ty will be dotted with pure bred Guernsey stock, and within five years it will be possible to build up a retail business from the sale of stock alone that will be profitable. There is a feeling that those who are in vesting in pure-bred stock, and give a reason able amount of care and attention to their herds will before long be getting large dividends on a reasonably small investment. POLITICAL RUMORS Now that we know who the candidates are for the different offices, it is about time for un founded rumors to begin making the rounds about the candidates!, It seems that rumors begin to come thick and fast with the closing of the filing time. v Only this week it was rumored here that one candidate lhas already withdrawn, and another taken sick and sent to a hospital in a large city. Both,: were unfounded. From now until June sixth rumors will be presented as i&lbsolute facts, but it will be well not to repeat1 them until a thorough check-up has been made. ACTING THE PART OF A FOOL No doubt the average reader has heard and heard so much about safe and sane driving that they are about to become fed up on it all, but when instances come close home it is always well to stop and at least give passing notice. A certain well known driver, who has brag ged to every one of his friends in Waynesville that he can do sixty and seventy miles an hour without endangering his own life or that of oChers, clegrly demonstrated the cause of all his fast driving recently. Coming from a nearby city, he passed everything on the road. Took unnecessary chances. Passed cars on curves and on the crest of hills. Sped through crowded districts, and in fact broke every speed law and every safe driving rule. On the way home he passed a careful driv er. Passed him at a dangerous point in the road. When the careless driver by mere luck rolled into town he immediately sought his friends and started telling them that only forty minutes ago he was in West Asheville, and con tinued with the usual line of "brag" that such people can give. Within five minutes up drove the careful and sane driver who had been passed. He soon joined the crowd, and heard the speed demon bragging of his accomplishment. With an expression of disgust, the care ful driver turned and said: "So that is what prompted all his hurry and reckless driving just to get here as quickly as possible to tell his friends what a fool he had been on the road." And we heartily agree people often play the part of a fool in order to get to brag about it to Dheir friends. , THE LEGEND OF THE DOGWOOD At the time of the Crucifixion the dogwood tree was tJhe size of the oak, and other large forest trees. So firm and strong was the tree that it was chosen for the cross on which Jesiu was to be put to death. To be used thus for such a cruel purpose greatly disturbed the trees, the legend goes, and when Jesus was nailed upon the cross 'he sensed this, and His gentle pity for all sorrow .and .suffering, said to it: "Because of your re gret and, pity for my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a cross. Henceforth it shall be slender, bent and twisted, and it's blossoms shall be the form of a cross two long and two short petals and in the center of the outer edge of eadh petal, there will be nail prints brown with rust and stained with ml and in the center of the flower, there will be a crown as of thorns and all who see it shall remember." Selected. THE HYMN TO THE GREAT SMOKIES Congratulations are offered to Miss String field and Mrs. Boyd on the publication of their new song: "The Hymn To The Great Smokies." This should prove to be a very popular piece-of music, and certainly will be quite an addition to the many forms of publicity and advertising that this section is now using. From a business venture it is doubtful if it will prove very profitable to the sponsors, but it will create much good will for this sec tion, and clearly shows a community spirit on the part of the two sponsors that is worthy of our most loyal appreciation. "EXCELSIOR" Whatever is to be said of man, he is dis tinguished for his love of dangerous adven ture. From the beginning he has dared death to reach high places and today has practically conquered all nature's strongholds. All that is, except one towering, savage Mt. Everest, 29,000-foot king of the world's mountain peaks. It alone has repulsed man successfully time and again. In all, 13 lives have been lost on its icy slopes in recent years, and many expeditions have turned back, de feated after weeks of intense suffering. But has man given up the battle? Most assuredly not ! Even at this moment a new expedition ventures to scale the highest moun tain on earth. Ahead of these men lie' ines capable torture; possibly even death. And what will they gain? Already the summit has been viewed and photographed from a plane; there is no territory to be claim ed, no great reward to be won. Man is driving onward and upward because he is man. There is no other explanation. Salisbury Post. PIKE'S PEAK ADVERTISED If you sometimes doubt that advertising pays, remember that there are 26 mountains in Colorado higher than Pike's Peak. Can you name them? Neither can we. Pike's Peak has been given publicity and plenty of it, so it gets all the business, and other mountains just sit -or whatever mountains do and complain that business is punk. Don't let your business suffer from lack of advertising. Make it a Pike's Peak. Chariton, la., Herald Patriot.

CURTIS RUSS Last Thursday afternoon, just about four o'clock the 'phone rang: "Hello, is this Mr. Russ?" "Yes." "Well, Mr. Russ, this is Martha Mock at the high school. When can we get the high school paper?" (At this point mischief entered my head.) "Oh, I'd say sometime about noon Friday in fait that will rush us to get the paper by, then." "You Mean t-t-tomonow e-r-r-Friday t-t h school paper t-tomor-row? Why,, er-r- tomorrow will nev er do this, yes, this is the last (lay of school gulp and gulp Why Mr. Russ we just must have the school paper todav yes today why we couldn't get a student within a mile of thi nlace tomorrow Oh what wdl we do?" "I'm sorry, about it but will come right over and talk things over." The fact of the matter wa.s that I had the papers under my arm starting over when she called And was she glad to see the paper m't me just the papers And after all, it was a dirty stunt because her nerves were on edge and she was rushed to death but she was a good 'sport, with it all. I do know this .she can look migh ty hard one minute, then the opposite the next and that is what I call con trolling temper I haven't been able ta master the art, but am thinking seriously of getting Miss Mock tx teach mt . . . There certain nervous feeling, and tense atmosphere that exists behind the scenes of every plav or event. STohse who seem to possess nerves of steel at anv other time get shaky when having to anpear before a crowd no one has ever been able to find a solution to the problem ex cept to "keep your eat and never ap pear before an audience," And why is it that a crowd will shove and push when trying to go some place, and knowing all the time they just retard progress that much ? "Chat Thomas tells the yarn about the time he was in, Washington, and going to the ticket agent said: "Give me a ticket to Waynesville, North Carolina." The ticket agent in Union. Depot smiled and replide: "Sorry, mister, I can't sell you a ticket to Waynesville, but I can sell you one to Frog Level, and you can get a taxi to Waynesville." Chat later found out the man had once lived in Fog Level, and knew the "lay of the land." Last Friday, a party of four Charles Ray, M. H. Bowles, Rev. W. A. Rollins and I made a trip to Mor ganton in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, and before starting back Mr. Rollins just insisted that we drive over to the state hospital to see the place. After making the trip, Mr. Bowles and I learned we were the only two of the group visiting the place for the first time. And on the same trip, four high way patrolmen were stopping every car that , passed, making a check-up on whether motoriets had their driv er's licenses. While we were all pre pared with ours, it was a rather un easy feeling to be stopped but even at that it wasn't a new experience for one of us. Only a few days before I was made to pull to the curb by a Charlotte cop, when I failed to see a light change in fact the light at the corner I had just passed was on the side of the street, and the light I ran over was in the center of the street. . . Quite an unsatisfactory situation. And while on trie subject of cars, I have found a sure fire way to get rain have your car washed and pol Mrs. Hopemore I want to open an account with your bank. Cashier Do you want a savings or checking acount? Mrs. Hopemore -Neither, t want a charge account like I have at the de partment stores.
