TAGING AUTO TAGS The people of the state are becoming con .seious of the value of advertising North Caro lina, and no better evidence can be shown than the huge number of suggestions that are now being made regarding the automobile license tags. Out in Murphy, comes the suggestion that the' 19:19 tags be made in the shape of North Carolina, and copy the idea made popular by Tennessee and Florida. Kentucky and other states have the novel idea of putting the names of the counties on t)he tags. This has also been suggested for North Carolina. All in all, such suggestions are certainly worthy of. the consideration of the officials in charge of making the license plates. From an exchange, however, we find there is some slihgt criticism regarding the slogan that has bt en proposed to be placed on the 1939 tags: "the Balanced State." The exchange goes on to say : "A new idea has been flashed upon the State of North Carolina. To further advance the mode of advertising this commonwealth, it has been suggested that some slogan be placed upon automobih license tags, which now bear only the simple name of the State and the number. "Commissioner of Revenue, A. J. Maxwell, is cited as proposing the legend, "the Balanced State." This idea comes from a remark Presi dent Roosevelt once made concerning the State, that he regarded North Carolina 'as the best balanced State' in the union. "That's very nice and a compliment to North Carolina. It is a desirable condition to live up to. But we do not think it will be an agreeable balance until we bring down the fi gures of fatal automobile accidents that an nually occur. PeFhaps the tag slogan may help in some way to lessen the fatilities. We hope it will if adopted. "But a better slogan for the tags, we be lieve, would be, 'Drive Carefully'." PROPERLY MARKING STREETS Now that the court house has had a name put on it, and bids are being sought for naming the post office, it seems only timely and certain ly most fitting that the town take steps to place names on the most prominent streets. Strangers find it extremely difficult to find their way around with no names on the streets, and local people find it equally as difficult to direct them. One of the best signs of a progressive town, is to see clean streets and them properly mark ed for easy identification. There are many methods for marking streets, but the one that seems to meet all re quirements, and not show signs of reckless motorists hitting them, and little or no wear from weather, are white posts set back from the sidewalk with the name of the street paint ed down the side of the post. ; A manufacturing genius is a man who makes a commodity just strong enough to hold together until the last installment is paid. Hell hath no fury like a woman who dis covers her husband using for a shoe rag one of the neckties she gave him for Christmas. Louisville Times. One thing to the credit of the man who kills himself he generally get3 the one most res ponsible for hU troubles. Tampa Times. ADVERTISING WITH PARKS It is Major L. P. McLendon's idea that North Carolina should "advertise with parks" and he offers sound suggestions to this effect. Basically, his plan is advanced because of the permanency of such attraction as parks af ford to the travellers. Reciting that it is inconvenient for North ern and Eastern tourist traffic to reach Flor ida except by traversing North Carolina, Major McLendcn insists that it is, therefore, impor tant to make as favorable impression as possible upon them while on the south-bound trek. This case can be accomplished the more easi .ly, the more permanently and the more cheaply, in his judgment, by a system of parks. Let us allow him to state his case : "The State could acquire, at moderate cost, a small park area of ten to twenty-five acres at the State line on each of the main highways entering the State. The State Highway and Public Works Commission by using prison labor and utilizing the professional services of land scape architects at State College and the State Department of Agriculture and our native trees and shrubs could make these parks places of beauty. There should be erected on the high way at each park a small, but beautiful, hut or building with rest rooms, and a comfortable lounging room equipped so that it would also be a sort of museum of North Carolina's natural and manufactured products, a large wall map of the State showing places of interest and the entire highway system, long-distance telephone and telegraph facilities and attractive literature and advertisements of the State's resorts, hotels, etc. In the park, facilities should be provided, free of charge, for camping parties, outdoor cooking ovens and other conveniences. Nothing should be sold at these parks. But most impor tant of all, these parks should be policed day and night, and the hut or park house sihould be in charge of a uniformed State emplye whose first and last qualifications should be courtesy. The whole atmosphere of these places should breathe hospitality. The visitor should be made to feel that he is genuinely welcome to the State and that the State is maintaining the park for his convenience and comfort." Major McLendon's program will appeal be cause of its practicality. And it is especially timely that he should propose his idea at this time when the State has the funds through leg islative appropriation to apply to advertising and promotional programs of this nature. The Charlotte Observer. INTANGIBLE TAXES Are you familiar with the new North Caro lina Intangible Personal Property tax? It is high time to get acquainted with it. The North Carolina General Assembly, during its 1937 ses sion, enacted this tax which is of far-reaching importance to all residents of the State. Under schedule II. of the Revenue Act, intangible personal property is classified such as cash, bonds, stocks, mortgages, notes, etc. Varying rates of taxation apply to these classes this form of taxation replaces the so called ad valorem tax on net solvent credits. In this case of securities subject to the tax, the levy made upon the fair market value of any securities which you held as of that date. The tax is due and payable on or before March 15, 1938, and must be filed with the Revenue De partment. This is a matter for our readers, owning securities, to look into and attend to, before be coming amenable to the law. It is a new system of taxes on securities in this state. Ex. A BOY WHOSE PARENTS WERE PALS "It is .good to be a farm boy with parents believing in both work and play," writes a farm lad who sends The Progressive Farmer a prize winning letter on "What I Like Best About My Parents." Other parents will no doubt be inte rested in what this farm boy says as follows: "It is hard to tell just what I like best about my parents. My mother pleases me when efhe gives camp suppers for my boy friends and gets my 'duds' ready for the short course at State College at White Lake. She helps me with my poultry project when I am at school. She plays accompaniments to my mandolin and keeps books and magazines for me to read. I call her my pal. "My father is a pal too. He helped me make a boat last summer and now I fish all I want to in it on the pond back of the house. He makes me work until late but takes me to the river or for a swim at sunset after the chores are done, or on a fox hunt after supper, or to the picture show. Daddy also helps me with my agricultural projects. Last spring he built a brooder house and a laying house. I sold 100 broilers and now have a flock of New Hamp shire Reds, laying every day. He bought a brood mar and now I have a baby colt Some times he takes me to the Farmers Club suppers.'

Such expenditures on permanent buildings of the high type, should remove all doubt as to the financial condition of Haywood county folks.

Leahy, Chief of Naval Operations: "The political conditions of the world are more threatening than at any time since 1918, and no improve ment is in sight." Such sights should convince even the chronic knocker, that everyone is not pessimistic about the present and future. It would be hard to find a town the size of Clyde that has as many new modern homes. The buildings show that the owners had the ability for designing and a desire, for beauty. Another noticeable feature about the Clyde homes is the beautification work now in progress; This also speaks well for the owners. It might not be amiss to mention here, that there have been more mod ern homes built in Clyde during the past 18 months, than have been built in Waynesville in the past 6 or 8 years. Most of Waynesville's building has been along Main street in the busi ness district. Improvements have been made to a number of homes, but few new ones erected. Hazelwood has come in for her share of building during recent years, and looms to break forth again soon. Outstanding in Hazelwood is the Country Club development, where a 26-room addition is being built, and extensive landscaping is in progress. Thousands of dollars are being spent improving the club house, the course and grounds. In the vicinity of the golf course. and on the highway, several new homes have been built, some of them being the most modern and expensive in the county. Another section that has seen quite a bit of building activity during the past 18 months, is on the Dellwood road. Some day this road will play an important part in park travel, and it is only natural that far-sighted persons build along much-traveled highways. Kiyoshi N'oda, Japanese Rear Ad miral: "If Admiral Leahy says the Jap anese fleet would have fourteen bat tleships when its present construction program is completed he must be building them in his imagination."
