Next week will truly be commencement
week in Haywood, with a large number of
schools bringing to a close another success
ful school year. The Canton schools and St.
John's will continue a week longer than the
remainder of the Haywood schools. . i
Good weather, and the lack of any serious
epidemics has enabled the schools to main
tain schedules and get in the prescribed
amount of work during the current session.
For both these, the patrons, teachers and
students have a lot to be thankful.
We have had a feeling for a long time, and
have shown this feeling this year by pub
lishing more news of school activities, that
the public in general should show more in
terest in the affairs of our schools. " .
Ws' shojild take a keener interest in the
work; in the work of the teachers; get first
hand-information of problems, and in fact,
just make it our business to learn more of
what is going on in the schools. '
And, on this point, we feel sure the school
authorities welcome such a suggestion.
During the commencement periods is a
good time to see to some degree the climax
ing of a school year, and also a good time to
make a resolution to' follow through more
closely next year.

A; New Day for Better News
.Paul Hansel, general manager of the As
sociated Press for the two Carolinas, on a
decent visit to thk newspaper on routine mat- ;
ters, began discussing the general trend of
the news. Mr Hansel keeps a finger on not
only the news of the Carolinas, but the world
at. large that is part of his business. .
He perhaps knows as well as any one per
son the trends of the thinking of the people
of; the two Carolinas; and for those sa mind
ed, he could answer a' lot of political ques
tions. Getting back to the interview, we learned
with some amazement, the fact that people
are wanting and reading more about religion,
and outdoor life today than ever before.
Mf. Hansel cited several examples of how
the leading public had taken to religious
nwi, and also anything that had to do with
fiihihg, camping, hunting and outdoor life,
eer gardening. We have often, taken those
subjects for granted, but it seems the public
islwynting more and more of it every day.
-Righthere in' this resort area, we are per
haps more conscious of the freedom-, jof, out
door life than many places; and being right
at. Lake Junaluska, we have also taken the
religious news as a matter of our corerftunjty
We are gratified to know That the reading
public are anxious for this type material,
and not becoming so saturated with some of
the sordid material which it looked for a
while was all that was wanted.
We note that more and more newspapers
are Carrying church pages, with the Sunday
School lesson, and news of religious activi
ties. It is a healthy sign. We know for a fact
that our two church pages every Thursday
carry a high per centage of readership.

On To South Carolina
Plans for the proposed motorcade into up
per South Carolina are rapidly materializ
ing, and all indications are that it will be an
' event that' will pay big dividends for a. long,
long time'. ;. v :. ' -.. .
Those who made the initial trip into the
textile area of our neighboring state this
week, to map plans and details, report that
; the average person, including officials, know
very little about this part of Ndrth Carolina.
This makes it all the more important that
the motorcade be staged into South Carolina
The people in that area spend a lot of money
on their vacations, and over the years, have
through habit,'; gone to the seashore. The
. interest the people of the area have already
shown in learning more about' Western North
Carolina, plus their cordial welcome, assures
a hearty response when the motorcade moves
in and advertises this section. ; . '
The delay of. getting this project underway
came, about from .the fact that it takes time
, get three.. communities agreed on a date,

Patrolmen, Instead Of Sign Painters
We are glad to note that Col. James R.
Smith, head"of the highway patrol, has re
scinded the order which would have made
sign pajnters out of our patrolmen,
The order originated with the former com
, mander of the patrol, when he had patrolmen
painting a red circle on the highways where
fatal accidents took place.
The idea was never practical, as we brazen
ly said before, and was not worth the time,
effort or cost. The same time spent in laying
; a heavy hand of the law on offenders will be
worth much more. We are happy to see that
Col". Smith is looking on the practical side of
the picture.

Last week, on the eve of the

and later as a "virus infection of.
the respiratory tract". There he
was in the Sir Walter Hotel un
able to see or be seen by a single

He was ordered td rest for a
week to 10 days, and his managers
immediately started contacting
people to speak for him this week
in Robeson County, in Raleigh,
Greensboro, Shelby, and Tarboro.

We, the members of the Jona

wish to express our appreciation
for the recognition and publicity
given us during Home Demonstra

We certainly ought to have a good
hotel. People stay in Asheville now

cause we do not have enough accommodations."
Paul Davis: "I think it is a worth
while proposition and would meet
a definite need here.''
O. II. Shclton: "I hope the propo
sition is successful and we can
build a hotel. I believe local poo
pie will have' to help out if we get
one." ;
James A Gwyrt: "My opinion is
that the town needs a hotel very
badly but I doubt if it could be
made a financial . success on ac
count of the short . tourist season
and the small ambund' of long

Harold Massie: "I think it is a
