The colorful Indian drama drew 12,155 more people this year than last, which for the fifth consecutive season, put the Chero kee drama in the lead ?of Outdoor historical dramas in the nation. In five years. "Unto These Mills" has played to t>88,.'ll0 j>ersons. This year's at tendance was 149.1iW>?less than just 100 short of 150,000. The closest contender for the national attendance record, was Paul Creed's sym phonic drama of the life ol' Thomas Jeffer son, "The Common Glory." which played to 75,000 persons at Williamsburg, Va. In third place was "The Lost Colony," with an attendance of 15.227, and fourth was "Horn in the West" which played to 41,4)18 persons over at Hoone. The new record established at the Cherokee drama, and the continued interest in "Unto These Hills" is a genuine source of gratification and joy to all of us in this immediate section, and most particularly to those of us who are such close neighbors. Sonic Bears, Like People, Won't Leave Corn Alone. Over in Graham county, a game war den declared a ;5)i5-|?ound corn-eating bear ail outlaw, and what so often happens to .outlaws?animal or a human?happened ill this case?he paid for his wrong deeds with his life. The big bruin, unlike some of his Sher wood Forest or Park cousins, was overly fond of corn, and in trying to satisfy his apnetite, had torn up a corn patch. This prompted the game warden to declare the bear an outlaw, and a |xisse huntyj down the offender and shot him. It is too late for the dead bear to learn better, and repent of his errors in life, but plans are to send the carcass to the school cafeteria at Kobbinsville, where the bear will lie part of an educational system, even if for a limited time. Watch Out Fur Them Authorities on the subject, toll us that this is the time of year to bo particularly care ful about snakes. There has already been one Haywood per son bitten this year, and thanks to quick medical attention, is yettiny atony fine. All reports are that the snake population is far greater this year than in a lotiy time. Snakes are dangerous, and should be treat ed in that manner, at all t inies. _THE MOUNTAINEER"" WaynesvlHe, North Carolina Main Street Dfad (?E (1-51501 Thr ( nunty Srat of Haywood County Published By The WAYNESVll.I.E MOUNTAINEER, Inc.

Monday Afternoon, September 13. 1951 Fire Season Arrives Ahead Of Time The forests are drying out so fast that state fire wardens are showing much con cern and anxiety over the growing dangers of the fire season. Usually it is later than this when the forest floor begin to become like tinder, and ready to blaze forth at the least little spark. Under such conditions, it is extremely ini |i;ortant that every precaution be taken to keen fire to a minimum. The flipping of a lighted cigarette from a vehicle traveling through the woods has caused more than one devastating forest I fire. As the situation becomes more accute it is im|H>rtant that everyone become more careful. m , News From The Meat Front. Some good news for mailt eaters?a category which includes practically every one in the country?has been appearing1 lately. Present trends indicate, according to | the American Meat Institute, that this j1 year the whopping total of 25,500,000,000 ' pounds of meat will be produced. ,This will ] be a gain of three per cent over last year, j and a new all-time record. It means that j the meat industry is keeping up with our ' growing imputation and that the per capita , supply will run around 154 pounds. A Wall Street Journal news story quotes ; government experts as forecasting that , most meats will get somewhat cheaper in t coming months, and that none will get much more exjiensive. Slated for drops, these men think, are the lower grades of beef, along with veal and pork. The hog imputation has shown a particularly large jump, and it is .expected that this will be reflected in mar ketings during the next year. From the producer's viewpoint, there is good news too. The president of the Am- i erican National Cattlemen's Association has said that his organization is out to double j beef eating in the next 10 years. Of this,' The Farm Journal observed, "Judging by , the way beef promotion?by cattlemen--is picking up, nation-wide, they may do it." Meat moves in the free market, under 1 the control of the natural law of supply and demand. That's why we get all we want? 1 and at a fair price. . ?- ^ i How To Keen The Customers. It's no mystery why people keep on , patronizing certain stores. They trade with them because they believe they can get low er prices, or better service, or more attrac tive selections, or some other appealing in ducement, What may not be so well known is why people stop patronizing certain stores and take their business elsewhere. Kentucky Grocers News recently touch ed on this. It said a recent survey showed that of all customers lost by stores, one per cent died, three per cent moved away, five per cent changed because of friendship, 14 per cent had grievances, and nine per cent were not accounted for. That leaves <58 per cent. And this big majority took their trade elsewhere because of indifference on the part of the store. In other words, they had been made to feel that their patronage was not needed. Nowadays merchants of all kinds and j 1 sizes, independents ami chains, are concen trating on "improving their contacts with customers. The fact that we are in a strong buyers' market has made that inevitable. 1 A rude or inefficient or bored salesperson , can drive squads of potential customers away, and for keeps. So successful retail stores are seeing to it that customers are , warmly and courteously greeted and made to feel wanted and at home. This is good for the stores. It is good for the buying public too.

Highland Flings By Bob Conway There are in this country today two different kinds of cowboys?j th" Western and the Eastern j brand Eirst. let's consider the older and more familiar variety?the Western cowboy, who has been with us since the birth of the flick ers in Hollywood. For years and years?on the '? screen in black and white? a cow- j boy's only real love was his horse, j Rut along came the glamor of Technicolor and the tall, rangy' Westener began to succumb to the lure of the cow country charmers. j Whereas in the old days horse op-i eras ended by showing Tex riding' off into the sunset on Old Paint?' leaving the girl looking longingly | ?the present color extravanganza i of today leaves the couple in a tight clinch?with the hay burner standing by jealously. Another change in the West ern rowpoke is that he doesn't carry as much ammunition as iiis preoeressor. nul. instead, carries extra guitar strings so that he'll never be caught with his serenades down. It isn't enough these days to corral a passle of crooks or make a couple dozen redskins bite the dust, cattle chaprrones also have in' h% able to melt a gal's heart with a romatic ditty. However, even with all the changes that time has wrought, the cowboy still has his boss, his six shooter (from which he ran fire at least a doxen bullets without reloading*, and the little dogies which he's always rging to git along with a kiyi-vlppv yippy yay.?or words to that ef fect. And now let us turn aside from the Western cowboy?America's i No. 1 hero?to the Eastern cow : boy?America's No. 1 heel. Actually, the term "Eastern eowhov" is not entirely accurate since he is found all over the 1'nlted States?in the West as well as the East?but we're using the term to differentiate be-, tween him and the plains-riding variety.) > Horses being somewhat scare* in this part of the country, thf Eastern cowboy usually ? rides t | ?souped-up jaloppy. or maybee i snappy convertible if his parent: | have any folding money. But he's very easy to reeognbe Most of the time he's young, al though not always. Almost with out exeeptlon. however, he Is lacking anything upstairs which even remotely resembles brains, lie's convinced that only el* fogies go around a corner on fou wheels?and courtesy to him is only a word in the dictionary?and he's never bothered to look up the meaning One favorite trick of this jerk on-wheels is to take off like a jet plane from a dead stop, or come to a screeching halt when there's a pretty girl nearby?to attract the attention of same. Just how he figures that squeal ing brakes will stir up love in the female heart is difficult to com prehend. but, like we said, he is | not burdened with anything like common sense. The only trouble with this Eastern cowboy is that people just don't understand him and get angry just because he kills people with a car instead of a pistol. And they get tired of trying to keep out of his way when he's galloping around the highway?usually with two gal lons of gas and a pint of liquor. Maybe this Eastern cowboy CROSSWORD across 1.
