Summer And Fall A matter of much interest is the news a 1 iiiut plans of the Haywood Highlar lers in broadening their promotion program in en effort to extend the season ? open earlier, and close later. This is not a new idea. Neither is it an idea thai has not been needed to be put into force for many, many years. The same idea has been proven practical, and profitable by some tourist areas right here in Western North Carolina ? Kontana ViHege, is a good example. The longer season will come when the op erators prepare, plan, and work towards that end. We have maintained this fact down through the years, and have found that our stand on the matter has been proven correct by a successful program at Fontana. We are elated to know that the Haywood Highlanders are starting early in the plans for 1955, and are making the spring and fall seasons their chief concern. There are more and more people who are making trips in the spring and fall than ever before, and it is the wise operator who gears his plans ac cordingly. As plans are being made for the coming season, it must be remembered that there will be fewer places on the coast catering to tourists this season than last since many places have been destroyed. In view of this, it is important that the promotion and plan ning get under way earlier, because one thing is dead certain, people are going some place, and with the proper persuasion, and infor mation. they can be brought here ? in the . spring, summer and fall. 'Festival Weather As Usual \ Now comes the question: "Why wasn't the Tolmcco Festival staged earlier, in order that we could get some rain sooner?" Typical of the usual Festival weather, it rained*. But fortunately, no snow, or sleet. On the other side of the picture, the damp weather made it much better for handling of the tobacco. And somehow, when the sun is shining, and everything is gay outdoors, it seems that the even best indoor show ap peals drab and dull. While on the other hand, wh?n it is wet?and dreary outside, the show insidq takes on an atmosphere of cheerful ness. color, and gaiety. ? So no matter the weather, the show goes on, and we feeJ that the Tobacco Harvest Festival, and Home Demonstration Club Kx hibits event is destined to prow larger and larger as the years roll by. There is a lot of work that goes into the festival, that makes it a growing institution.

Not. IS. 1051 Has The Time Come For . Rural Fire Protection? The Clyde Fire Department now boast# of a modernized truck, housed in a fine build* ing, with an alarm system equal to that of much larger towns. Not only are the jieople of ClycU* justified in the pride of their department, hut the whole county is happy. This modernized department makes four in Haywood. Kach of the incorporated towns now have departments that are above the average fdr the jtopulation of the respective towns. While all four towns have, to.a large de gree, to depend n|h>11 volunteer firemen to as sist the full-time men, it is a note of en couragement to know the interest the volun teers take in their work, <uid the manner in which they go about saving property. Now with four modern departments in the four towns of the county, the fact remains that the rural areas have no established pro tection. With the towns serving as a basis for a county system, we wonder if the time is not here to work out a county-wide system of protecting rural property? Property own ers within the four towns are proud of their departments, and the protection the excellent fire departments offer. Haywood enjoys an excellent system of forest fire protection, with #state and fed eral men, efficient and alert to cope with the fires in the forests. Yet, the rural home owner has protection for his wood lands, but no organized pro tection for his home. Out-Of-State Farm Tours Revived All indications arc that the annual out-of state farm tour will be resumed this coming summer. A group of 200 enthusiastic former tour makers meeting at Cam.j Schaub Saturday night, decided without question, that the tours should be resumed. Just where the 1955 tour will go is to be recommended by a special committee now at work on the assignment. Haywood folk who have made the tours are warm in their praise of the benefits they received from them, and the many advan tages offered by the group travel plan. The tour plan has also brought Haywood much favorable publicity, but perhaps more valuable limn "evert that, has been the bring-" mg together of Haywood people for a week or more on the trips that had never known each other before. The plan has enabled many people to take the planned and guided trips that perhaps would not have undertak en such a trip on their own. We eX|R'ct there will be many people who will make the 1 Jth tour, regardless of which way it heads. A Boost For Christinas Business .Starting Monday, the channels ot' trade in this community should definitely feel the im pact of $20,000 to $22,000 which will be dis tributed to the 225 people who have accounts in the Christmas Club of the First National Hank. The Club plan, while only in the first year, has proven highly successful, and those who have put in from 50 cents to $5 per week are highly pleased that they now have a lump sum of cash coming their way. The plan is educational, in that it is a means of making |*>ssiblc those things which perhaps u n d e r ordinary circumstances, would not be available. The savings will for the most part, be spent on the Christmas program of the participants, and will make the economic side of the yuletide season easier. In case you are interested, there are exactly 20 shopping days until Christmas. lhcv II Do It I \cry I ilrtc By [rmmy I fatlo - j:??\:v7zzr?^' , i\'S ' { -ur_N a_u 4V s DU uP -ruE JOB OF Kmf woki'tX ,,y ?? 7 GETTlSo ^REE ENTERTAINMENT// ^/ o8?WE5&V%U. ., , jtv^S_uAP^r-r-^ tue\ ( tmSsSnroSi I J ? /' - b=o?cul^" =00T8ALL PEOPLE \ } TWAT-TUEN U oET h K il\l| ( ?l U?<LL WNDuP X*KMO\V"?SO FUR )/ -* GOOD TINNER ' 1 j / / JgjJ] /TupV^T ) / PAVNS WR 1 \ wiItlT.t2!

GOERC'll It was during tile last war that jthis episode- took place. They entered the Pullman dull car at Washington. I) C. A nice looking couple. She was about 24 years old and very pretty. Bru nette. He wore an Army uniform, and the stripes on his sleeves in dicated that he was a too sergeant Nice looking young fellow. They took the two vacant chairs directly across the aisle from where 1 was sitting. It wasn't at all unusual to see soldiers and their wives traveling from one point to another in those days. In most instances, it was a rase of a man getting transferred from one training camp to another. If he was fortunate and had the money to take care of expenses, he could have his wife live in some close-by town or village And then, when he was moved to some other place, he would take her along with him. That's the way I had this par ticular couple sized up. And from the way they acted. 1 cot- the im orcssion that perhaps thev had h?en married only a short while He was vcrv thouehtful and con siderate of her comfort He asked her if she wanted him to lower the shade. Ho inquired whether she wouldn't like tit have somethinc to read Occasionally thev exchanged sweet smiles It was nice to sit there: Just looking at them And it's tunnv how you oaint menial pictures of little incidents like that . Boy volunteers or tx drafted in'o the service Girl disconsolate and unhaonv They've been sweethearts for sev eral years She mav never see him aeain Thev decide to get married and thev do eel married . He ?oes to catrm . . She wants to ho closo to him as long as ho remains in this enuntrv . . * Ptnal'v the time aonroa.hes whor) he's hradle" for Knrone or the ??ooth Pacific She i? left he hind l one months of waiting . And then, in the end. either a heart-hreakinr message or a hap pv return home . . . I couldn't hetn hut he?r snatches i of the conversation that passed between the two of them "Vnu'll write often, won't yny0" "Vex. dear " "I'll he thinking of, you ail the time " ? nd so on. I "Will you JarlJn&r _ _ The train sped rapidly on its 1 way toward New York. The couple weren't Iotersted in anybody* else in the car except themselves. Finally we approached Philadel phia, In a few minutes the train stopped at the 30th street station. The Sergeant and the girl got up He picked uo her suit-ease and the two of them started for the door. I rose to m\ feet and_louched him on the shoulder as he passed by. He looked around, an expres sion of surprise upon his counten ance. "You've forgotten your bag." 1 told him, pointing to where it rest ed along-side the chair which he had been occupying. . "That's O. K .." he said with a smite. "I'll be back in just a mo ment. Thanks a lot. though." * And sure enough, immediately after the train started. I saw him coming hack down the aisle?alone. He took the same seat which he had previously occupied. The sun was shining squarely in my eyes, so after a little while I took the varnnt seat next him. "Sun's bothering mt," I ex plained. "It sure can worry you when it j shines right squarely in your face," he agreed. For a moment or two nothing was said. Then he turned and ask td: "You from this part of the country?" "No; I'm from North Carolina." "Is that a fact! I was down at Fort Bragg for three months. Swell place, too. 1 really enjoyed the work down there." "Where are you going now?" "Up to a ramo near New York. 1 expect it won't be long before they'll be shipping me overseas. I sure would like to get into that fighting in Italy." "Been in the army long?" I ask ed. "Almost a year," he answered. We chatted a while longer. He told me that his home was in Springfield. Ohio, and that he was halfway through college when he enlisted. "And you got married in the meantime?" I suggested. He looked at me in surprise "Hell. No!" he exclaimed.
