Visitors From Around The World In Our Area Never before in the history of Haywood have wc had as many visitors from as many places throughout the world as wo now have down at Lake Junaiuska. The 2,500 delegates from the 70 nations representing some 18,000,000 members of the Methodist Church are indeed a fine group to have visit us on this occasion. Since the completion of the World Metho dist Council Building at the Lake, we have been hopeful that Lake Junaiuska would be come the center of all Methodist activities in the world just as it has become of the South eastern Jurisdictional Conference. The number of newsmen who are here cov ering this world-wide meeting gives some indication of the millions of words that will go out to publications around the world, all of them carrying a "laike Junaiuska, N. O," dateline. Some of the world's greatest Methodist leaders are here for the conference, an in dication of the imjxirtance of this great as semblage. Wellco's Profit-Sharing Plan Is Growing Wellco Shoe Corporation last Friday Rave to their office and factory employees checks totaling $33,000, which represents half of the $66,000 profit-sharing fund which the employees will get this year. The other $33, 000 will be paid in December. In three years the firm has paid out in ex cess of $300,000 in this program, which is a sizeable sum to be put into circulation in this community in such a short period of time. This recent profit-sharing payment is further proof of the importance of industries to our economy here in this choice spot of the world. Canton Stages Successful 50th Labor Day Program The Canton I.abor Day committee did themselves proud in staging the 50th annual program in Canton over the weekend. The program was not only interesting but was executed on a high plane, showing that much thought and study had been devoted to every phase of the very interesting and varied pro gram. Labor Day weekend has been given to Can ton for the past 50 years and they have made good use of it by providing programs that are different from any other staged in this part of the state. We share with Canton the enhusiasm which marks the beginning of the second half century of Labor Day activities.

A New Day For Haywood Agriculture Looms Haywood's agricultural leaders and Exten sion workers have launched a long-range program, all designed to increase the cash income on the 2,818 Haywood farms. The average gross income per farm at present is $1147. This is less than $100 h month, with 1,755 of our farms selling less than $250 |**r year and another 1,068 selling more than $250 hut not up to $5,000. Only 92 farms sell more than $5,000 a year, with 25 exceeding the $10,000 mark. Exactly one-third of Haywood's 37,600 population are counted as farm population. The new progra/n, which is practical and definitely reasonable, as proposed by the farmers themselves, would increase the cash income from Haywood farms by $4,000,000 within ten years. The Mountaineer is confident that the pro- ! gram can be attained and feels that, if it is desired on the part of farmers to attain that much addiioital income ? more than $2 for every $1 now received ? that the program ' can be successfully staged even within the J next five years, provided enough interest, enthusiasm and determination are put be hind it. The entire program, as proposed is going to require an abundance of enthusi-j] asm, determination ? and hard work. , This program, just like any other, will succeed only in proportion to the efforts of those whom it will benefit the most, wish to^ work for its success. I, , ; Two More Methodist Buildings Dedicated Congratulations are in order for the First J Methodist Church in Canton on the dedica tion of their educational building which has ? been erected and paid for. and to the Central ( Methodist Church of Clyde on the dedication < of their fine church building, which was ; jmid for last year. ; Both dedications were held yesterday in impressive ceremonies presided over by Bishop Nolan B. Harmon, with the respec tive pastors of both churches taking part. These two dedications marked the third such Methodist buildings in recent weeks; and we understand there are others that might be held ere long. Such growth and interest in the religious life of a county is indicative of the type of j citizenry whch makes up the county. ? - . . ? . ? ?

VIEWS OF OTHER EDITORS Entrance To a Mountain The sort of summer which dwells in cropped hayfields, tended acres of corn and the heavy-shad ed maples of a village Main Street is unknown to a mountainside pasture. A high pasture's unculti vated freedom Is far above the battles of sweating men in a valley. Its hardy spaces and unfenced boundaries have little relation to any harvest but that of huckleberries. It has been a full century since it knew a furrow or heard the whetting of a scythe This July a few summer-loose heifers will graze in unhoused semi-wildness on its short, dry grass and frequent its drought-immune springs. Across it. cool cloud shadows , will pass on after noons hot enough to curl lowland corn. Such a pas ture will be a thorny, blackberry sanctuary for young rabbits waiting October's wild apples. It will offer scant f?r?" t? fatten up a wood chuck living hermit-wise far from a garden. It will stay as hap pily untamed as three crows or two bear cubs. For the next few months it will be a place of sunburnt days, where nothing is gathered into barns. Yet the pasture conceals a certain use and dig nity. It is the hidden entrance to a mountain. Out of one of its top corners a trail starts upward to a peak marked in four figures on a map. A deer knows I the stony, wooded path which, year by year, is hard er to trace. It grows more branch-crossed and in-! distinguishable because fewer men or boys foot it with knapsacks, headed for a summit that far ther off than it looks. It is a lot easier to choose a highwayed mountain that can be climbed in a con vertible with the top down. A countryman believes that a mountain and its pasture entrance get wilder and lonelier even- sum mer. Not that a hemlock, a bear or a huckleberry gives a hoot. Not that a wildcat cares one moon light howl. Not that a sunset ever complains. A whippoorwill never sounds a bit more mournful. A cliff doesn't worry because there are no names carved on it with a stone chisel and a scout ax A small brook likes to be alone with quiet pools where nobody abandons a cake of soap in a thrush's bath tub. And a tanager is pleased to have dead spruces from which he can exhibit his brightest feathered sport shirt. No one need fret about a mountain or its Inhabitants getting lonesome. They like their sum mers the lonely way, and If men prefer to burn up gas and eat hot dogs along a valley highway, that's their own loss. But It seems a shame that when there is a sum mer dawn on a mountain top, when a cliff cap look out over a aea of wfeite clouds and wait for a sun rise, there is no one there to watch H but a squint eyed porcupine?New York Herald Tribune. , i b THE MOUNTAINEER Waynravtlle.

MORE ABOUT Mountaineer (Continned from page 1) Purb Highwav Racing?Committee Discusses Safetv Plans." Inside, an editorial pointed out "Racine on the Highways is Often Speedy Murder." Sparked by the tragedy publiciz ed by the newspaper, Haywood citizens organized a campaign for highway safety The hie story of the next issue of the Mountaineer was headed: "Officers, Citizens I Ready to Work Out Safety Pro- I eram Here Tuesday Night." On ' the editorial page two editorials stressed the menace of speed and other traffic violations. The Mountaineer featured manv pictures as well as devoting much news and editorial space to gettine across the story that highway safe ety is of utmost concern to every one. Week after week the Mountain eer chronicled the urge of safetv mindedness all over the county and hammered awav at the theme of preventing highway tragedies "Interest of Young People in Safetv Puts Grave Responsibility on Adults." said the editor "Young Folk Pronose Safetv Camiviien Plans." "Our Young People Offer a Practical Answer to Highway Safety." Part of the campaign proposed bv the young peoole was sienine rtiedges by them for sh." driving Highway patrolmen took the nledaes to special meetings in all six of the county hieh schools and eot sianatures from all but one of the students throughout Havwood. These pledges are still on file. A four-column picture of the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee topped a headline reading: "Newlv Formed Safety Council Will Set Up Program Friday Morning" "Traffic Safety Council Off to Good Start." Barely two months after public opinion began to demand that something be done about highway safety, another page one headline proudly proclaimed: "Auto Inspec tion Campaign Opens On Saturday with Countv-wide Parade." "Time to Have Vehicles Inspected?and For Free." Then came a picture of some of the six high school safety queens riding in the county long parade which started off car inspection week. Good news was reported a week later: "Over 8.000 Cars Checked as Auto Inspection Ends." In the same issue was a stern reminder, a reprint of an editoral: "Drag Racing Must Be Halted." Included as one of the regular features of the Mountaineer front page is the highway "box score" compiled from records of the State Highway Patrol. It presents fig ures for the current year and the same date the past year of the number killed, injured, the num ber of accidents and the financial loss. Finally, an editorial for the 4th 'of July holiday states: "Tight En forcement Pays," with the sen tence. "Safety experts have thus far failed to find a solution to the problem other than a careful driver." Marketing specialists report that egg production in July is estimated 4t ISO million?a new high for the month ?nd about 17 million above ?he IMS previous high production record.

Clifton, Jr., won sev eral events in life-saving and swimming. It was not until "Kitty" was feeling much better, that Clifton. Jr . noticed he still had on his wet clothes, including a 'jacket. The attending pnysician ordered dry clothes, and some medicine, to steady the young man's nerves. "Are you sure this medicine is not sweet, doctor; you know I am out for football," said the husky 9th grader, "And training rules don't permit sweets." He took the medicine, and said: "Gee, I'm glad I was home, and could get "Kitty" out OK. 1 wouldn't take anything for the water course training I had at Camp?.I'll get more," he contin ued as he went on to explain he had been in the Saunook 4-H Club four years, and would stay in through high school.

The average yield per tree of ! bearing age was four bushels. An \ orchard is considered to be in ! commercial production when it has 100 trees or more. Orchardmen told The Mountain eer that the damp and windy weather in early spring brought on the spread of cedar rust, as it , seems to thrive under those con ditions Orchardmen estimated that 40 per cent of the Haywood crop is packed, while 60 per cent is sold 1 in bulk. One orchardman has even J started packing in 5-pound bags for a large grocery outlet. Right at the moment Haywood ' orchardmen are all smiles as the picture is almost a half million dollars brighter now than it was the same time last year.

" "The time has come.' the walrus said, 'to talk of many tilings,'" is the line from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" that is about to become a fact in the two months ahead. And the "many things" to be said by political spell-binders are not likely to be pleas ant things. It is an unfortunate condition of pre>ent day tactics to smack a fellow down, then stand on his prostrate .'arm anil cr<?w in self advertisement.

Taft (1909-1913) was the first president to stray away from the confines of the White House and the Capitol. At first, the populace held ils collec^ye breath in surprise, but it soon became evident that his goo^^^v'travels were well worth the while Those were more or less tranquil years during Mr. Tuft's oc cupancy of the White House. There were slight rumblings of trouble overseas but we were soothed by the fact that wide oceans separated Us from the feuding countries. The echoes of the Spanish war had diminished with the passing of the years, and peace was in our land. Even the 1907 fiasco had eased its hurt. Times have changed so much that it is only us "oldster#" Who can remember when the most disturbing events of that time were try ing to keep step with the hem and waistlines of our ensembles, and paying our grocery bills, Wars and rumors of wars have made traveling to distant ports a necessity to promote the peace and happiness of our country, and our presidents have followed the lines of duty. Vacations have be come as much a requisite to presidents as it has to the citizens in every day life. Let us add to our daily prayers that soon all the traveling done by our presidents and their representatives will be in the cause of peace instead of war.

The President's message, pre sented bv the Hon. Bradshaw Mintener. also stressed the subject of peace.
