A Successful Year
1951 will go down as one of the best
"years in the history of the Chamber of Com
merce. This is an encouraging note of . the
past, and even more so for the future.
With David Felmet as president, the or
ganization entered into a wide, field of ac
tivity, and participated in many things for
the general good of the community, as well
as the county and area at large.
It would be hard, as well as unfair, to t try
to point out which the 1951 Chamber of
Commerce worked harder for of our three
major economic factors agriculture, tourist,
and industry. From the standpoint of office
service, the tourist group received the most,
in that more visitors stopped in asking for
information, and accommodations. That was
only natural. : ". "....'
On the other hand, agriculture was not
forgotten, neither was industry in carrying
out the well balanced program for the year,
The organization spent much time and effort
in promoting better roads, and there are two
major road projects which were determined,
and approved in 1951 Pigeon river road and
Pigeon Gap (No. 276) . , -
A project -is underway now which should
mean much to industry, in that a complete
survey and publication has been discussed
up to the point of actually starting the gath
ering of material for publication. J
The Chamber of Commerce has served well,
and as the program is formulated for 1952,
we are sure that many of the projects started
in 1951 will be carried on, and carried to com
pletion.''' The groundwork for a solid, and
far-reaching program has been laid.
: To Mr. Felmet and those who worked with
him so hard in 1951, this community owes a
debt of gratitude and many,, many thanks.

Looking Toward A Revaluation
The county commissioners have definitely
decided not to have a revaluation of property,
during 1952. The board had the matter under
consideration . for some time, and discussed
it back and forth frequently. The board,
together with many others, realize the fact
that I there is some property in Haywood
county not on the tax books. There is also
somi inequalities, which is just a natural
resutJbaUa created, over the years, .5, .
There are some-citizens who .favor having-
a group of specialists to come in and make
the revaluation, checking each parcel of land,
and appraising it in accordance with values
established in-each area by the board.
' Counties which have used such' a system
found it a good investment, although the
initial cost is -exceedingly high. Those who
faveft such a plan over the present" system,
point out that often local groups who are
familiar with tracts of lands in each town
shipijoften go along on the assumption they
kno$ the boundaries, instead of checking
and snaking sure. '
Nfxt year, under the law, a revaluation
willaiave to be made. It will be. left to the
boarp to decide the type of survey to be made,
and o provide for the cost in the next budget.
Tre, board has six months before making
a decision, and in that time should be able
to gather a lot of valuable information which
would throw plenty of light on the two sys
terhs which can be used. We believe the
, corntnissioners would get a lot of reaction, and
feielfrig of the public, by letting them have
the ifacts relative to both systems prior to
reaching a decision. ,

Gift Wrapping Time
Those who have just, gone through the
annual gift wrapping season, or face it, will
appreciate, and no doubt agree with Virginia
Price, the editor of the Louisville, Ga., news
paper, as she wrote: '
"The paper was either too long or not wide
enough and had to be patched with a Christ
mas seal which immediately busted loose
when a little pressure was exerted. The rib
, bon either got in a snarl or broke. Mess and
clutter made the house look like a factory
warehouse during the week-end and I was
ready tothrow the whole works in the fire
place but didn't want the smoke to get in
Santa's eye. If you ask me, the notes of
.thanks shoulddse .ivrittert oji-'i-'crcentage

Eight per cent in 'appreciation lor the kind

program
Mrs. A had. given a great deal
of troubled thought to the pur
chase of a Christmas gift for Aunt
Emily. Aunt Emily was fastidious,
pernickety and cantankerous (also
bencflcient). Then suddenly there
came jo Mrs., A a most brilliant
idea. Last year a friend from a dis
tant city had sent her a beautiful
and expensive scarf which had
never been taken from the box in
which it came. So, on Christmas
Eve, the last package to be wrap
ped along about midnight was
Aunt Emily's gift. When the scarf
was taken from the box,' Mrs. A
looked and then gave a horrified
gasp. Down in the corner was ex
quisitely embroidered Mrs. A's
monogram a fact she had entirely
overlooked.
" 'Tis more blessed to give
than receive" also a little more
expensive, . v
Everything centers - now about
tho festive day-just ahead; Frantic
search for suitable gifts; ffqually
frantic attempts to wrap, mail and
send packages; the incessant fear
that something' or somebody will
be forgotten; the interruptions of
minutes that. seem endlessly long

An Impressive Tour
Those .who took advantage of the Garden
Club tour .of the homes in this . area, and saw
the varied Christmas decorations' were well
repaid for their time.
The six homes included in this year's tour
had about as wide a variety and scope of
decorations for the season as one could hope
to see anywhere. . -. - -.''.:'.
Each display Was a thing of beauty in it
self, ranging from the conservative "to the
ultra modern; but all beautiful and eye-appealing.
-.'
The striking feature of the entire group
r- of displays was the vast amount of time, and
the thought given to each project.
From the proceeds, the group plans to
plant shrubs and flowers in the community
next spring, thus making the project two
fold of purpose and benefits for the com
munity at large.

Do primitive children mature
early?
Answer: Quite the contrary,
writes' Richard Wi B. Ellis of the
University" of Edinburgh in the
British Medical Journal. A study
of male and female natives ot
Nigeria showed .that the physical
evidence of maturity appeared In
native girls at an average age of
14.4 years while the average In
Great Britain , is 13.73 years.
Nigerian schoolboys appeared to
mature at substantially the same
age as schoolboys in the. United
Kingdom. Similar results have
been arrived at In studies of other
countries. Early maturation prob
ably is caused by favorable life
conditions, especially adequate
nourishment, in which, civilized
countries excel.
AT HOME A lot of Wake For
est College folks are enjoying a re
telling of a Lamar Caudle incident
which occurred two. three vears
ago . -:- .
About 11:30 one night before a
Wake Forest-Georgetown game to
be played the .next day, the tele
phone of Wake Forest's president,
Thurman W. Kitchen, set in to
ringing.
It -was Washington calling. As
sistant Attorney General T. Lamar
Caudle, Wake alumnus, was calling.
He said he wanted to bring some
ifficials of Georgetown down for
'he game and asked President Kit
ehen to have them for dinner, en
ertainmcnt, etc, and to take them
lo the game. Mrs. Kitchen, who has
not been in good health, for years,
vas ill at that time. It was late.
Kitchen, in his usual smooth man
ner', refused. But Caudle was not to
be outdone.
The next afternoon after the.
?ame one of Caudle's casual friends

Inthe' .first place, one of the
largest 7 indoor entertainment
houses in the United States is lo
cated on the State College campus.
Its shows vary all the way from
hill-bflly performers to the nation's
top evangelist. Seldom a week pas
ses, particularly during the school 1
season, that there isnt' a hustle and
bustle all over the campus with
cars, hundreds of them, and thous
ands of people gathering from all
sections of the State.
Maintenance costs of the Colis

necessary. Crowds, noise, traffic
congestion, excitement, entertain

ably : to find quiet and an atmos
phere for concentration and study.
These parts of the picture don't fit
together. -
The State is now constructing a
new entrance to the Coliseum area.
This will permit the thousands of
visitors attending shows on the
campus to go and come without
serious interference with the nor
mal pursuits of the students.
