WAYNESVILLE'S LITTERED
STREETS AND HOW TO
nPI P THEM
I have read with much interest
Mrs. W. T. Crawxoras leiier in
recent issue of The Mountaineer
11: .Usntinn f tVlfl VPrV Un-
sightly condition of our streets
during the recent lourisi Beuu.
During my visit in September, I
too had noticed how dreadfully un
kept our streets are and had heard
remarks about them from our visi
tors. Furthermore, 1 naa pianneu
to write a letter to The Moun
taineer, but I have been so crowd
ed with work, that I have put
the matter aside until Mrs. Craw
ford's letter brought it back so
forcibly to my mind. We have the
finest-located town in Eastern
America, but to paraphase the old
saying "We have not done right
by our town".
In my teaching, I have "
small way faced just such a situa
tion as Waynesville's. For a num
ber of years I had charge of the
biological laboratory at - the Wo
man's College at Greensboro. This
laboratory was occupied five aft
ernoons a week by students vary
ing from 15 to 30 in number. They
were dissecting and studying (gen
erally under water) plants and ani
mals for three hours each after
noon, and it might, be expected j
that tables and floors would get
very messy. When these students
came in, the floors were so clean
that they could sit down on them
in their white dresses and get up
with their dresses still white, and
it was the law of the Medes and
Persians that when they went out
that floor should be comparably
in the same condition.
But my readers ask, "How was
such a thing possible?" The an
swer is that no student was more
than 15 feet distant from a waste
paper basket for her waste paper
scraps, and equally close to a stone
jar in which to dump the rejecta
menta of her dissection. And I
saw to it that all waste materials
vent into, those receptacles. This
regulation was a new idea to moat
of my, students, but before each
new Bession was many weeks old,
they were loyally and with much
pride doing their part to keep our
laboratory as nearly spotless as
possible. But I made it as easy
as possible for them to do this.
To return to Waynesville . I
oil tViat. there is any
cannot, icvu - .
where on our streets a single re-;
ceptacle for trash. The sugges-
tion is so patent that it may J
stated in a very few words Our
mayor and aldermen have estab-.
Ushed an efficient garbage and.
trash movalv service for our,
homes. Let them add to this the
placing on the corners of the chief
streets receptacles for waste paper,
fruit skins, ete.; then Pass a suit
able ordinance requmng th u u e
and calling on our peoc w
help make ours a "spotless town,
and finally make a few arrests with
good stiff penalties for offenders
But above all make it as easy as
i . r nonnlo to keen our
streets clean, and I dare prophesy (
that our citizens and visitors will ,
join in to do their part.

Editor The Mountaineer:
Having lived in and loved Way
nesville for many years in fact,
still feeling that Waynesville is
more home than Florida I feel I
am qualified or privileged to judge
her deficiencies as well as her
Qualifications for making her a
more popular first class summer
resort. And, so I am adding my
voice to the many tourist voices of
this summer, requesting street
benches for the comfort and con
venience of our tourists, and hop
ing that the dreams and plans will
be fulfilled by next season.
Last winter my husband and I
motored leisurely out to the West
Coast, taking three weeks to reach
Phoenix, Arizona. After spend
ing the winter in Arizona and
California we returned even more
leisurely by another route to our
home in Miami, reaching there in
June. We stopped in cities and
towns and wee villages and I can
not remember a single place where
there was not a city park (so-
called), either on or near the
main : street, for the comfort of
visitors and homefolks, too, and
always it seemed, they were being
enjoyed by both young and old.
We, ourselves, enjoyed strolling
through many large, lovely ones
again sitting and resting in cozy
little ones, and feeling very grate
ful for the thoughtfulness and wis
dom of those City Fathers who
had planned so wisely and so well.
- So, it seems t6 me, how splen
died it would be for Waynesville,
with all its natural beauty, to pro
vide a park where our evergrow
ing visiting colony could sit and
view the lovely . mountains, enjoy
the cool breezes and shade on the
hottest days, play games, shuf
fle board, badminton, checkers,
croquet, or read and rest in some
shady nook and feel thankful they
had come to a friendly little city
that planned for their pleasure and
comfort.
