NATIONAL CDITORIAI ASSOCIATION ion jsswa&t FRIDAY, MAY :(), I'M 7 My Town Since one hears a tfreat deal of discussion ( civic pride every spring, we are publish;.' ;t condensed creed on "My Town" which ro i ently appeared in a trade journal. "Pipe 1 'rogress." The writer of this catchy and truthful treed, certainly must have lived in a small t iwn at one time, because it fits so perfect I v. Ii reads as follows: "My town is the place where my home is i mnded; where my business is situated and here my vote is cast; where my children are cJucated; where my neighbors dwell, and where my life is chiefly lived. It is my home s ot for me. My town has the right to my civic loyalty. It supports me and I should support 11. My town wants my citizenship, not my partisanship; my friendliness, not my disscn s on; my sympathy, not my criticism: my in telligence, not my indifference. My town sjpplies me with protection, trade, friends, t Jucation, schools, churches and the right to i':ee moral citizenship. It has done things fiat are better than others, the best tilings I should seek to make better, the worst tilings 1 should help to suppress. Take it ; 11-in-all, it is my town, and it is entitled to the best that is in me." Recognition The pictures which were made here last week of scenic areas in this vicinity for a nationally known magazine, will provide un limited advertising for the section. Many of them will be new scenes, for no trouble was spared in getting into isolated spots. Such publicity will be far reaching for more and more as civilization lays its hand on this country and the areas where nature has left its luxuriant growths of beauty, will become Dlaces of interest ( to . those seeking It is wetl for oiir own people to take time off and visit these places, for it makes us realize what we have and that it is now up to us to see that proper development is made of our potential assets. It has taken us many years to get the at tention of the outside world, but each move ment toward this goal has had its effect. Now that the entire western area has joined hands to work together, we feel that the develop ment of the area will be hastened many years. Never have our people been more awake to what we have here nor have they put forth more effort as they are doing today under our leaders, who are unselfishly giving their time from their own affairs. It will take this kind of cooperation to reach our goal. They Pass Us Up Last week the Old Oregon Trail Highway was reported covered with crickets on a six mile stretch and millions of the migrating in sects were moving closer to the rich farming lands of Oregon, despite the efforts of the farmers and the sea gulls. The sea gulls, it seems, were virtually un known in the dry wheat country of Oregon until they descended in large flocks to at tack the insects, but were making little im pression on the hordes, while the farmers were even pouring oil into irrigation ditches to stem the advance. When we read of such things we count anew our blessings in Haywood county. We are asking you to accept the invitation of the American Legion post to join them in their annual ceremonies on Decoration Day at Green Hill cemetery. There has never been a time in the history of this country when we American citizens should have greater pride or gratitude in the achievements of those who have protected us from the combat of wars. Taking a view of world conditions, despite the many imperfections of this great -nation, we know that we have many' advantages that are not enjoyed by the citizens of other coun tries. From time to time we have had to defend these privileges, which most of us take for granted, feeling that because we pay taxes we have earned them. These men we honor on Memorial Day paid more than mere money. , We trust that a record crowd will gather on the top of Green Hill Friday afternoon , and take this short period out of their busy day to pay this deserved tribute to those who have served. "Know Thy Community" The Chamber of Commerce banquet held here last week was certainly a "family af fair' where frank discussions were made on problems that concern this immediate com munity. This was a decided change from, lonner annual meetings when some outside speaker has been featured. This newspaper feels it is always profitable j to stop and take inventory, and as Carlyle so hulhfully wrote, "know thyself." MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By Lavvrpv.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Do you think that Henry Wallace will be a candidate for President i in 1948? We are glad that the American Legion and Auxiliary have changed the hour of the memorial services from the 11 o'clock morning period, they observed for years to an after noon program. In the morning peo- healthful place in which to live, j pie are at their busiest, and in the that in order to have a cemetery afternoon the business men do not Stanley Blading: "I hope so, for I would I hen have a chance to vote against him."

Before any definite progress can be made, however, we must know what each is coping with in order to render the most aid. The time has long past when a merchant can sit idly by and say to a manufacturer, "That is your problem, do the best you can to solve it." Likewise, the farmer and man ufacturer cannot afford to see the merchant struggle along, while they take the position, "that is his little red wagon." Every major problem of this community should be the direct concern of every in dividual. The community is so closely linked together that we are directly involved in every matter that gives any one group any concern. If one manufacturer has to curtail production due to the housing shortage, then all the community feels the effects. We think the time has come when manu facturers, farmers, business men and those catering to tourists, must hold conferences together, study the needs and problems of each other, and proceed to help solve them. The matter of merging Waynesville and Hazelwood and taking in additional territory was also mentioned at the meeting. This sub ject has been frequently discussed in private groups before. This newspaper feels that such a move would be for the best interest of the community at large, provided adequate thought is given to the details of bringing about the merger. When the time comes, both communities will have to make up their minds before hand that such a movement would require a lot of "give and take." This newspaper has always maintained that the first obligation and responsibility of the Chamber of Commerce is to "sell the community to the citizens here" and contin ually instill in them that this is truly a "good place to live." The meeting last week was right along this line, and we feel that much good can come for a follow-up of a discussion of our community needs, and then doing something about them. While the opening of The As sembly grounds for the summer season with the annual Haywood county Day' is a Methodist ob servance, we hope that some of the members of other congrega tions will play truant from their own churches and slip off and go to the Lake for the 1 1 o'clock Hour, in honor of the sneaker ice since they were inaugurated following World War I and during the last few years we have noticed that in some cases the families of some of the men who are buried in Green Hill fail to attend. It seems a Uii sad when a name is called from the honor roll, for an outsider to step up and say, (as often happens!
