The thrill of that first green
carrot top in the Victory garden
this season is giving a definite
impetus toward farm vacationing.
North Carolina guest farms and
ranches report that they are ex
pecting visitors to the extent of
their capacity. The variety of
home-grown unrationed foods on
farm tables and North Carolina's
accessibility to the busy defense
areas of the East and Middle West
are contributing factors in draw
ing city dwellers back to the soil
of the Southern highlands.

Business College Fall
Opening.
ASHEVILLE, N. C. (Special).
Specialized business training
will assure your future after the
war. We must remember that
these are abnormal times. Your
friends without specialized train
ing are employed now because em
ployers, in their desperation for
help, have been forced to make
shift the best they can with un
trained help. When the war ends,
then will come the true test of the
need for specialized business train
ing. - -
Thousands of untrained people
will find themselves without em
ployment. Business managers will
refuse to containue trying to get
along with untrained help. Only
those with specialized business
training will be desired.
You can best serve your country
and, at the same time protect your
own future by taking time now for
a business education. If you are
interested in a permanent future,
Cecil's Business College urges
young people not to attempt short
courses or patronize cheap schools
in order to secure employment
now. Thousands of half-prepared
stenographers and typists will be
released from government offices
after the war is over. Business
will be readjusted on the basis of
efficiency. Thousands of unsatis
factory employees will be taken off
the payroll.
Asheville being a winter resort
as well as summer resort, there are
plenty of fine boarding houses
"pen the year round where board
is reasonable, and fine cultured
surroundings provided for girli
studying at Cecil's.
Remember, it pays to attend
good school, one with a reputation
that would be able to help you as
long as you desire work.
The demand for office help is
the greatest in the history of our
institution. Make reservations now
for fall opening Monday, August

SPECIAL
COFFEE
agers are arranging to meet their
guests with horse and buggy or
station wagons. Once in the self
sustaining world of the farm,
transportation presents no problem
that cannot be solved by human
or equine legs. Indeed, in this
coming war Summer, many a guest
will "stir his stumps'' to help his
host with work about the place. As
for wardrobe, the ubiquitous blue
jean may be shifted from the war
industry factory to the farm yard
without even suffering .a sea
change. Guest farm rates are dis
tinctly on the reasonable side.
Dude ranches run higher.
There is a farm in a quiet, green
valley four miles from Waynes
ville to which guests have come for
seventeen years. When one of
this farm's devotees meets another
it is a fraternal reunion. There
follows such a smacking of lips
over remembered country-cured
ham that any dissertation on lit
erary roast pig is rmtl'ing in com
parison. The house is of a typical
North Carolina farm variety,
white clapboard; there are a slop
ing lawn, a driveway of ancient
cedars, a garden bright with russet
gold and wine-red dahlias.
The day's routine of the farm
guest runs after this fashion, vary
ing somewhat with the guest and
the farm. A big bell clangs out
the wor I that breakfast is ready
at X, and t' e isitor finds on the
table Mi amiug ra meal, fried ap
!'!c cri-'i with wn sugar, little
pork sausages, 1 i.tchered and put
up on the farm last Fall; scram
bled egg-, bacon, grits hominy to
the Yankee guests, much to the
amusement of the natives gravy,
fresh round pats of country but
ter, blackberry jelly and biscuits
so light they crumble in your face.
The manager of the farm, a
mountain woman of considerable
dignity and charm, still uses an
old-fashioned wooden churn, and
an audience always gathers in the
kitchen to watch the butter come.
Some of the guests pitch in and ,
help with the breakfast dishes, the i
fire in the wood stove takes the
chill off the morning air and the
old wooden clock ticks in a way to !
suggest a sort of permanency and
peace.
There is a climb up the ridge,!
where the tall spruce trees meet
the skv. Each guest carries a !
carved hickory cane, often in
itialed by the other boarders. These
mountain hikes are guided tours
in charge of the farm dog, squatty,
short-legged Joe, who knows every
view and each cottontail rabbit by
name. One o'clock finds the guests
at dinner, blaming their appetites
on the exercise, and the table
groaning with fried chicken, ham,
an array of fresh vegetables and a
flaky-crusted deep-dish apple pie.
In the afternoon visitors nap or
pitch horse shoes, and at night
after supper they gather in the
parlor to sing mountain songs or
they walk down the cove road
under the stars to a square dance.
There is another guest farm
near Waynesville, not cut so much
on the folk pattern, and designed
for visitors who want more pri
vacy. Here there are square dances
held in the hayloft of the barn.
Thirteen miles from Waynesville
is a working ranch with attrac
tive guest facilities a mile up, in
the Smokies. The ranchhouse is
an old rock barn, remodeled. The

Clyde Women Are
Contributing Much
Food To School
One hundred and twenty dozen
quarts of canned food have been
promised by the women of Clyde
to keep the Clyde school cafeteria
for this next term.
The campaign is being conduct
ed by the Pa l ent Teachers Asso
ciation. Besides the canned food,
potatoes, fresh fruits, and vege
tables have been promised. The
purpose of the campaign is to
release more factory canned foods
for those unable to grow and can
their own food and to keep the
cafeteria running in spite of the
lack of sufficient ration points.
One-half gallon jars, contributed
by the government, are being dis
tributed to the women who prom
ised to can for the school.
Homer H. Henry, principal of
Clyde school, is in his office every
afternoon distributing jars for
those calling for them at the
school.
During the last school term an
average of 409 lunches were served
every day, taking an average of
10 quarts of canned food per day.
This year the amount is expected
o be the same.

: SMITH'S DRUG STORE
An Appeal To The Public From The
Physicians Of Haywood County
The demands of war, sickness, and death have made heavy inroads into the ranks of doctors and phf
sicians of this county. Their number has decreased nearly 50r during the past 18 months and the probability
is that more doctors will be called into the service.
There will be no improvement of this situation until after the war. If the services of additional ptif
sicians from this county are needed in the armed forces the local shortage will become more acute.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that certain rules and regulations be made and strictly adhered tf
1. RESPECT YOUR DOCTOR'S OFFICE HOURS
Go to the office at the regularly established hours. Those
hours have been arranged to suit the convenience of a majority
of your doctor's patients. Do not 'consult him at his home at
meal time or on Sunday. The office is equipped for examina
tion and treatment of the sick. The doctor's home is where he
and his family live. It is much less expensive to go to the
office.
2. MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENTS EARLY IN
THE DAY
When a home call is necessary turn in the call early in
the day so that your doctor can make up a schedule of each
day's work and conserve time ty working systematically.
Many people wait until late afternoon or evening to turn in
calls. This habit creates an overload of calls and necessitates
a sick patient having to wait longer than would otherwise be
necessary. This also keeps your doctor up late at night, caus
ing him to lose much-needed sleep.
3. PAY YOUR DOCTOR PROMPTLY
Wages and salaries of most families aic
.,, a bich.r P'
at present than in many years. Your doctoi - turn
i so c 1
pletely taken up that he has little time
of
counts. All office work must be cash in order to r!;m.na.e
curt of unnf
Tfc
unnecessary work and bookkeeping. On '
overhead expenses the doctor cannot serve wun. -i
who are delinquent may not be served at all.
4. NIGHT AND SUNDAY CALLS
t.,vt-r,c
No night calls will be made except in etM :i
and all calls between 8 p. m. and 8 a. m. w
' b.
t able
night calls. This is necessary that the phyi
., -hp dot!
nrrlpr to C;l! 1 ' '
get a certain amount of rest in
duty now imposed on him. Extra charge will b ma
nM
. be rei
work. Only emergency calls back to the omci
on Sundays and they will be charged as usual home
