"Manhunt of Mystery Island" (New Serial) Waynesville Has More In Upper Income Brackets (Special to The Mountaineer) Economic dreamy of 20 year* ago have become a reality In Waynesville. Families that were once in the J2.30C income class have -graduated to the $4,000 or over bracket. Those that once had $4,000 a year are In the plus $0,000 category. Relatively few, on the other hand, remain in the low income groups, 'hanks to the general good business conditions which have produced a high employment ratio and better wage scales. Details of the advances in earn ings are carried in the 1959 Con sumer Markets annual. Included is data for every part of the country. It shows that in Waynesville 42 9 percent of the consumer units had spendable incomes last year, after payment of taxes, of $4,000 or more. This compares favorably with the situation elsewhere in the South Atlantic States, where 41.4 percent of the consumer units are In that income class. In the State of North Carolina 37.0 percent are so listed. ' The term consumer unit is used to designate families or individ uals maintaining their own estab lishments. There are 820 of them locally In the over $4,000 category. In the group with Incomes above $8,000, there are now 310 inlts or 16.2 percent in Waynesville. The impressive growth of the middle Income and middle rich classes has had the effect of in creasing markets, changing buy ing habits and raising the stand ard of living. The typical family locally has more money to spend at present in Waynesville. * St interest is the manner in :h the bigger earnings are be ing used. According to a Federal Reserve Board study, those with in comes above $4,000 are 60 per cent more likely than others to buy major household equipment or furniture. They buy four times as many new automobiles per families as those with incomes below $4,000. They also buy better homes, more electrical gadgets, eat better and do more traveling.

"We do any thing people want done that they cannot or don't want to do for themselves," says Jane MarlUey, whose unique eight-year-old busi-' ness grossed 9130,000 last year. Fired in an economy wave, Jane figured she had enough money to pay office, phone and stationery bills for six months "and held my breath a good year. "It started April 1 and that year grossed only 92,486.21," she told me. Now she employs 25 girls, chos en from colleges throughout the country after careful screening for enthusiasm, integrity, eye-appeal and telephone personality plus ability to make accurate judgment ?"Girls with college drama back ground are excellent because they don't have first fright." Courtesy Associates has two kinds of services, Jane explained* "First, the girls maintain Wash ington headquarters for firms In terested in dQing business with fed eral agencies ? a fire equipment company in Wisconsin, for instance. "Second is an answering service. Each girl handles phone calls as an employe of the firm she represents so that people with whom she is talking will think she's selling from the firm's own office when she's on the phone." Courtesy Associates puts on two big annual dinners a year ? the Wright Day dinner for about 2,000 people, honoring Orville and Wil bur Wright, and the Armed Forces Day dinner. It also runs conven tions. The girts must know something about a tremendous number of businesses and professions. If one of the more than 700 clients wants to know if the insurance on (lis old car carries through on his new car, the girl must be able to say it does. Or a girl must know that to "cooperate" in the real estate busi ness means two Arms will split a commission on a sale. "They're a terriftc gang," Jane bubbles. "The chief casualty is marriage or a husband being trans ferred away from Washington." Tfie Associates have huge space in an office building around the corner froirt the White House. There are a lounge and a great big switchboard room which Jane and her girls are about to redecorate so each of 11 girls handling 75 cli ents by phone will have a desk of her own. "We're going to give that room glamor if we have to put polka dots on the ceiling," says Jane. MORE ABOUT Cherokee Drama (CmUmM from 'race 1) tlon. He also said that three national magazines ? American, Sports Il lustrated. and Holiday?will carry articles in the near future on the Great Smoky Mountains, in which the Cherokee drama will, receive prominent mention. The drama manager told the Rotarians that "Unto These Hills" had a 20.000 decrease in attend ance from 149,000 to 129,000 dur ing 1955, and explained this de cline on rainy weather during the season. He pointed out that during the drama's run iast year, there were 23 rainy days and 26 cloudy days. Two performances were rained out. The total drop in income repre sented a total of $36,000, he added. Mr. White said the decline in at tendance was reflected in the ticket sales for the drama in Hay wood County, which went from 9, 840 in 1954 to 8,413 in 1955. Mr. White praised the newly or ganized North Carolina Travel Council as oflering the mountain area a voice on a state level, and urged that WNC residents support the new organization in its pro gram to promote .travel in the Tar Heel State. The speaker also asserted that experience has shown that Western North Carolina must be promoted as a whole because tourists tend to think of the mountains as a vaca tion area. Mr. White was introduced at the Rotary meeting py a club member. Ned J. Tucker, who is executive vice president of the Waynesville Chamber of Commerce. President James Kilpatrick pre sided at the meeting. Scientists now believe the first men came to America from Siberia over 20,000 years ago.

" ' V Bared to its B ; IT'S STILL, ^ I , Tjictured here is the great and reassuring sight you would see if you came upon a 1956 Buick in its birthday suit... The brawn and heft and structural solidity that bulwark the sweep-ahead beauty of this stun ning new automobile. For it is this big, broad-based, precision balanced chassis that creates Buick's spectacu lar new ride, handling, performance ? and Us brilliant engineering is shared by no other car. So what you feel at the wheel is something unique and wondrous?a new kind of road command that stems from the many marvels functioning here... The big, new V8 engine with the highest compression ratios and the mightiest power thrust in all Buick history... The advanced, new Variable Pitch Dynaflow* that silks this power to the driving wheels in utter smoothness, while adding sizzling new getaway response at only part throttle ... The massive brute of a frame that's X-braced and welded and double-riveted for extra strength and rigidity?and the full-length torque-tube that steadies your ride to the true ncss of track . ?? The newly calibrated coil springs on all four wheels that cradle you in buoyant lcvelncss like leaf springs never could?and the new rear shock absorbers that cancel out bumps with deep-oil gentleness.., And, most certainly, the new center-grooved brakes and easier-to-reach suspended pedai ? that mean surer, smoother stops?the new sta bilizing controls that halt sway and heel-over 011 turn#- the new steering linkage and front end geometry that add a whole new "sense of direction" to the car's travel. But you can't fully' feel just with words/ ' / It's only when you drive a '56 Buick?only when you accelerate, cruise, brake, steer, head into a curve, wheel-dance over a cobbled road ? only then can you really know why this is literally the best Bukk yet.
