Methods Of Getting
Industry Changes, Too
This area heard first-hand just what in
dustry expects, and what industry considers
before moving into a community.
The forum held last Wednesday brought
to our civic leaders valuable information,
and expressions from industrialists which
will be worth much in the years to come as
new industries are sought.
The method of a community getting in
dustry has changed as much as many other
things in the past few years. When an in
dustry starts out looking for a new location
today, they go about it in a highly scientific
and business-like manner. And in order to
meet the trend of the day. a community
must provide information in like manner.
No longer does a potential industry go on
guess work, or share promises about a com
munity. They want facts, and must have
facts before they make their decision.
Now that we know this, and know we must
provide just that type of picture, there re
mains but one thing to do. Get the informa
tion industry wants and make it available
in the manner in which they prefer..
A Lot Of Eyes On Racers
Those would-be daredevils who would
make our highways into a race track, should
know by now that just because a patrolman
is not in sight does not mean that there is
not a warrant awaiting.
Four fellows destined to match the speed
of their cars, decided to use the well-known
(straight-away on No. 284 through Jonathans
Creek. For all we know, Jhere was not a
patrolman within miles of the scene at the
time of the race. However, it was not long
before the officers did know about the race,
and the four were hailed into court. Each
one was relieved of $100, plus costs, and is
also a "marked man" for the officers already^
know their tendency of using the highways
for racetracks.
The patrolmen mean to put a stop to this
foolish practice and the sooner the "racers"
learn this, the better off they will be. Had
a patrolman been on the scene, each of the
four convicted would have lost their driv
er's lieens*?"for-a rear.' The next time the
patrolman might not be as far away as the
speeder might think. After all, the patrol
is using a lot of just ordinary cars for their
men?fifty in fact.
So you fellows that like to press a heavy
foot on the gas better watch out?there are
more eyes than the patrolman's looking.
A Good Piece Of Work
iThe police stayed with the problem of
solving the seven break-ins, which were be
coming too numerous for the jittery nerves
of business men. The police had a hard job,
but they ran down clue after clue, and finally
had two teen-agers confessing to the entire
series of the break-ins.
Very often a break-in of the nature staged
hc?e provides the most difficult of all cases
to solve. We are happy that the cases have
been solved, and that the police can mark
up another piece of fine work in their behalf.
Estimating By Trial And Error
We do not know of an accurate way to
make a comparison of travel this year with
past summer seasons. The only automatic
counters are in the Park.
Most people gauge the season by their own
business via the cash register. That method
could or could not ?e accurate for the area
as a whole, and then, too, there are so many
things to take into consideration when try
ing to apply the yardstick of business to any
one form of business.
The fact that the Cherokee drama has at
tracted ^ell over 100,000 visitors this sum
mer is indicative that the people are in the
area. And to date the itrama has shown to
more than a half million people in about 230
performances. This season has averaged
over 2,200 persons per performance, which
is not a small crowd in anybody's theatre.
Maybe someday we will devise some plan
for making an accurate accounting of the
number of people in the area. Right now it
seems to be an individual estimhte, and that
is based on how many times the cash regi
ster has rung.
No Ten O'Clock Scholars
In This School
An editorial in The Smithfield Herald, hit
the nail squarely on the head when it comes
to highway safety, under the above head
ing. The editorial is as follows:
Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed Echeidt
seems to have his highway safety program
running along in high gear now. Last week
at Fuquay-Varina a new kind of safety
school was held. There were no absentees.
There were no ten o'clock scholars. Record-,
er's Court Judge W. I. Rowland saw to that.
The first 26 students in this "school" were
ordered by the judge to attend. They had
been found guilty in his Recorder's Court of
reckless, driving, speeding, failing to stop
at a stop sign, driving without an operator's
license, driving with improper brakes, driv
ing without a horn, passing on a curve, and
drunken driving. Instead of being sent, to
jail, they were sent to the safety school un
der the direction of Highway Patrolman
George Lessard. ?
Teacher Lessard obviously knew what his
students needed to learn. Lectures, movies
and demonstrations were used to teach the
convicted drivers how to drive properly.
Each session of the school lasted for an hour
and twenty minutes?and the classes are
given once a week for six weeks, attendance
records are kept carefully, and if any of the
"assigned" students fail to show up, the
judge can still sentence them for their pre
vious mistakes. ,
This is safety education that can really
bring safety, not only to the careless drivers
taking the course but to all the other citi
zens they may meet upon the highway after
they graduate.

Do you think it costs more to
grow your own vegetables than to
buy them?
Joe Jack Atkins, ass't cashier,
First National Bank ? "In a dry
season, yes. I think it costs more.
I've bein seared to figure it out but
I don't think it really pays. You
do get good fresh vegetables
though, and good exercise, and no
amusement tax."
Mrs. Charles Isley, Brown Ave.,
Hazelwood?"My husband Is the
eardencr in our family, and he does
it for his own enjoyment. I do think
oerhaps it costs us more to grow
?hem than to buy because we don't
do it on a large scale. I have can
ned about 25 quarts of corn and 17
marts of beans, and frozen even
more, and of course we've had won
derful fresh food ail summer. So
?ve do get a lot out of our garden
'n soite of Its size and the dry
weather."
John Queen, owner - operator.
Haywood Motor Court?"I think
my pardon certainty pavs. A whole
Mt depends on the size of your

?hink a garden would cost more
?han buying. But I have six chil

Jack Hunt, personnel director,

It's cheaper Bv working an hour a

Views of Other Editors
NOT SO LOWLY CIIIGGF.R |
Several weeks ago I wrote brief
ly on the subject of "chiggers."
rather depreciatingly, as I recall,
I haven't changed my mind about
their being "pesky"?I think I used
that word?but I have learned that
In the field of entomology and in
their very "peskiness," if you
please, they rate much higher than
I had ever thought. Tfipy even have
books written about them ? and
published! Dr. J. W. Vernon
brought me a copy of a rather Im
posing volume, published in 1932
hv the Entomological Society of
Washington, "A Manual of the
Chiggers". A casual examination of
the book (naturally t would not be
interested in reading it In very ,
much detail, or even having a copy
for reference, as I imagine a doc
tor of medicine might! convinces
me that the lowly chigger Is not so
lowly Vifter all. Undoubtedly the
manual represents years of study
and research on the part of the
author. G. W Wharton, of the De
partment of Zoology, of Duke Uni
versity, who gives large credit to
H. S. Fuller, of Harvard Univer
sity's Department of Microbiology
and School of Public Health for
valuable assistance in its prepara
tion. It seems that chiggers belong
to the family Trombiculidae (Acar
ina) ? certainly these are high
sounding names?and that five or
six years ago, Dr. Fuller spent a
couple of years preparing a com
plete digest of the literature on
trombiculid mites. It is.apparent
that Mr. Wharton has done con
siderable research, too. Personally
I can't imagine anybody's wanting
to devote months and years of time
studying chiggers. but undoubted
ly the studies have been, and will
continue to be of great service to
mankind. It has been definitely
established that the larvae (eggsf
of trombiculid mites 'the entomol
ogical name for what we know as
chiggers) are the cause of an often
fatal fever commonly known as
scrub typhus. Only by knowing the
cause and carriers of a disease can
doctors determine the proper treat
ment.
I learned from the Wharton book
that knowledge concerning chig
gers probably extends back to pre
historic times. Known by a great
variety of names around the world,
