And this year, it wouid seem, it is b Iter than ever. For, according to the Cham b r of Commerce of the United States, C ristmas sales, auto sales excluded, will t< al more than seven per cent above those 0 the 1955 season, for a new-all-time record. T e dollar total for November and December if forecast at $31.1 billion. The Chamber al s< observed that the 1956 retail boom is h althier than last year's, reflecting a more n rmal expansion in population and personal ii 'onie. This season the millions of i>eople who f >ck through America's retail stores, in s irch of either holiday gifts or the routine t ings we buy at all seasons, will be offered a almost bewildering assortment of wares f im which to choose. They will see the best a <J most attractive standards of display, s. ni tat ion, advertising and promotion. Thoy w II, with few exceptions, be met by friendly, c. urteous and helpful sales people. They will - - unless their wants are unusual indeed ? f id exactly what they are looking for. And t ey would do well to consider what has n ade all this abuiMiance possible. The most ii iportant force in that has been the com 1 titive, free enterprise system, in which no 0 ie has a monopoly on anything, and in which the rewards go to those who please 1 ie public most, and who offer the best v due for one dollar. I analuska Has J mother Good Program The advance copies of the 1957 program a laike Junaluska gives promise of another s iccessful season at the Methodist Assembly. The program begins June 2 and continues t :rough September 6th, with 32 different c nferences, meetings and workshops sched i I'd. There might be others added before t ie season formally opens. Needless to say, the 40,000 people who \ sited Lake Junaluska this past season will 1 ? ready to spread the news about the won ( -rful place and the inspiring programs \ hich are presented there during the three r onth period. Kvents_of the paHt indicate another J)ig s ason, and certaiidy the 1956 season meant a lot to the economy of this area. 11 Can Be Done ... But!

Canton Steps Out Front In Football For the first time in history, a state championship football game wll be played in Western North Carolina ? at the Canton Stadium on Friday night whlen Canton meet* Washington (N.C.) for the state crown in the AA division. Canton took top-honors in the Blue Ridge Conference, and then won from 3furphy and Harding high, of Charlotte, in district play offs. On Friday nifeht they will be out to complete their successful season, which has brought them this far. The Canton team has presented some of the best high school football ever aeen in this area. The Black Bears have played as a team, and as a smooth working organization, as their opponents can well testify. Citizens of this section will be pulling and rooting for the Black Bears to bring to Hay wood the Championship cup ? a coveted and deserved award for their outstanding playing this season. ? An Inventory Of WNC Assets We want to commend E. L. McKee, Jr., chairman, and his committee members of the Inventory of Asaeta Committee of the West ern North Carolina Aaaociated Communi tiea for the work they are doing in this very important program of promoting Weatern North Carolina. Mr. McKee, a native Jackson Countian, called hia committee together at Cullowhee last Thursday night to set up machinery to do the job of assembling, cataloging and fil ing irr-convenient place* data concerning every county in the organization. This material will then become available to all persona who might wish to locate in dustrial plants or other types of businesses in the area. It will provide the New York industrialist a complete and accurate history about any county or section in which he might be interested in locating a plant. The work of this committee and the infor mation it assembles will in no instance re place the work of the individual counties in their own promotion and the gatherng and publishing of brochures, but rather it will supplement and assist such programs and provide an over-all picture of the region from the standpoint of plant sites, forest and water resources* available labor, climate, mineral resources, highways, railroads, schools, colleges, recreatiohal programs, and the many other items of information indus trial and business people want before de ciding to locate. The result of having all this research ma terial at hand will mean much to Jackson county. Locnted in Honter Library at Cullo whee, the compiled statistics, a perpetual inventory, will be available to all Western North Carolina. This committee is pioneering In this field in North Carolina. Its efforts and results will be watched, and, no doubt, copied by all sec tions of our state and other states. ?The Sylva Herald. v TEWS OF OTHER EDITORS How To Make Loopholes When congreu did a complete overhaul on the i I tax laws In KM one of the main ideas was to Ret rid of the "loopholes" through which some tax payers escape without paying all the taxes congress thinks they ought to pay. Now we see that cougress will start trying to plug up the loopholes it thinks it left In the 1954 law. It's apt to he a pretty exasperating business For instance, in the 1954 law Congress granted special treatment to companies that would set up business in the Virgin Islands. This wss on the excellent theory that high taxes discourage now business and that lower taxes would encourage enterprise in the islands But the tax collectors are upset by the pros- , poet that some shrew* fellow will mewe his busi ness from the U.S. to the islands and do the gov ernment out of some revenue. In short, they are afraid they will accomplish what they intended to do-?that is, get business to the islands?but the "wrong" people will go there. Which is pretty much the story on all loopholna. They aren't really unintended tax nnits. They were all cut by design. What upsets the designers is that aeme unintended people use the facilities. Just how congress can avoid this, wgr don't know. by an exit, for anybody ?Wan Street Jourul i .Hi Waha.n1i.il.a. , " - ' - - ? - ? / THE MOUNTAINEER WtjMntllr.

Views Of Other Editors WHAT'S COOKING? Today when the rabbi or the Protestant clergyman shows you through his newly constructed edifice he shows you the kitchen first. Kitchens? In a church? A caterer tells me that the new churches and temples have bet ter equipped kitchens than some of the biggest restaurants in town. Some institutions can serve as many as 1 000 people within a half hour. The.v are complete with steam tables for big affairs, "short order" tables for the meet ings of the Couples Club. Slster hod. Mr. and Mrs. Club and the Women of the Church. Dr. Mordecai Kaplan, the Jew ish philosopher, has said that when the geologists of the future start digging up the churches and the temples built during the past 10 years they will conclude that this American decade wat the most pious era in world history. But the steam tabels, bakeries and barbecue pits will puzzle them This may send them off on a brand new line or sereach?to find out the nature of the sacri fices practiced in these huoe bake ovens ?The Carolina Israelite. THE INNOCENT SNOB A controversy has been raging in one of the Charlotte papers about persons who drink coffee without cream. A columnist main tains that creamless coffee drink ers are pretentious and take their coffee that way merely to show off and thus satisfy their ego. This hits close to home. We know several of this strange breed quitp well and asked one about the question If he has any subconscious rea son for drinking coffee black he doesn't seem to know it. He offer ed a thoroughly prosaic and logi cal reason for the obnoxious habit. It seems he took up coffee drinking when he went away to college, fit may be that coffee was merely one of the beverages he took up then, but that is be side the point.* He patronized a boarding house where as many aa 13 persons sat at one table. Thev shared one cream pitcher. Ho found It simp ler to *l? his coffee black than to go through the ritual of asking someone to pass the cream Sad as it may seem, he learned to drink black coffee almost by accident He still prefers it that way.

I THE AMERICAN WAT ' istxhbm PAV \ MOftf rAxe*tO p ?V FOft TW THiH61 I MMMT/ J The Parasite My Favorite Stories Br CARL GOERCH This incident occurred a num ber of years ago when J. L. Sut tle, Jr. of Shelby was serving as secretary-treasurer of the Cleve land Building and Loan Associa tion and vice president of the Shelby Chamber of Commerce. Everett Rogers was secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and therefore had to go to Mr. Sut tle's office quite frequently about business matters. One day Mr. Rogers stopped by Mr. Suttle's office in the Building and Loan Building. It was a few minutes after noon and the oth er employees had gone in observ ance of the usual Thursday after noon holiday. Only Mr. Rogers and Mr. Suttle were there, peace fully discussing the business mat ter before them, with all doors entering the building locked. "You eenainly have a beauti ful new building here. J. L.." said Mr. Rogers. "It's a credit to the association and to Shelby." "Thanks. Everett." said Mr. Suttle. "We think it's very nice. Everything about it is the last word in building construction." "It's mightv fine to be in a new place like this," said Mr. Rogers. "Everything is so bright and ?" He stopped short, a tense ex pression coming over his face. "What's the matter?" demand ed Mr. Suttle. Mr. Rogers didn't say anything; he merply pointed. Mr. Suttle looked in the direc tion of the point and was startled to see a huge rat, sitting on its haunches and peeping at them from around the counter. "Good Heavens!" exclaimed Mr Suttle. "How in the world did that thing get into this new build ing?" The rat made no pretense of trying to explain its presence. It suddenly started off and scurried in all directions, looking for a place to hide or get away. Mr Suttle jumped up "Get something and let's kill the thine!" he shouted at Mr. Rogers Mr. Suttle found a broom. The best Mr. Rogers could do was to? grab up a magazine and roll it tiahtlv. Then they advanced to the attack. The rat would have made a fine running back on anv man's foot ball team It darted in and out among the various nieces of of fice furniture. Mr Suttle and Mr. Rogers didn't dart. They fell over chairs, bumped into desks and w strewed papers all over the office. 1 Once, when the rat was out in the clear, Mr. Suttle took a wallop at it with the broom. He missed, fell on the floor and rolled over. He had several rather vigorous things to say as he climbed to his feet. The chase continued. Mr. Rog ers got close enough once or twice to make a swipe with the maga zine, hut all he accomplished was to fan the rat on to greater speed. Suddenly it darted into the lav atory. Mr. Rogers went in after it. So did Mr Suttle. They slam med the door shut behind them. "Now we'll get him!" said Mr. Rogers' triumphantly. Both men looked around. The rat had mysteriously disappeared. They were somewhat puzzled over this, because they both knew that the room, quite small and with tile walls and bug-tight doors, af forded no possible means of es cape for the rodent. Suddenly he (the rat. we mean) jumped from his perch on the drain pipe under the lavatory? at least 18 inches from the floor? and moved with lightning speed around the small room. "Get him!" yelled Mr. Suttle, swinging the broom. That made the rat desperate. Looking frantically about him, the animal saw what appeared to be his last possible place of con cealment. He started up the right leg of Mr. Rogers' trousers. Mr. Rogers howled. He began jumping up and down in a des perate effort to dislodge the rat, but without success. "Hit "im!" he yelled to Mr. Suttle. Mr. Suttle hit, and Mr. Rogers screamed. "You missed him!" he hollered. "And you like to have busted my shin!" "Get out of the pants." sug gested Mr. Suttle. Mr. Rogers unbuckled his belt, drew in his breath, and the pants Tell to the floor. Mr. Rogers im mediately jumped out of them Then they went after the ani mal again. The room was too small to permit full use of the broom Another handicap was the fact that Mr. Suttle wasn't at all accurate with the wegpon. and he inflicted various and sundry blows upon Mr. Rogers' person. "Watch out for your own pants!" hollered Mr Rogers. Mr. Suttle felt that the point ras well taken, so he hurriedly lot rid of his own trousers. De spit* this fact, however, the men's legs seemed to have a peculiar fascination for the rat. It got a foothold on one of Mr. Suttlg's socks and refused to let go. Mr. Suttle lucked and kicked, but the rat held on. "Hit 'im!" he screamed, being himself unable to get the broom into effective action. But Mr. Rogers, in the mean time, had dropped his magazine. There was nothing for him to do but to kick the rat frm its posi tion. He let go a beauty of a kick, and Mr. Suttle screamed with pain. The second kick was more effective, and the rat turned loose. Mr. Suttle went after him again with the broom and this time succeeded , in landing a blow which .stunned the rodent. The rest was easy. Completely exhausted, and cov ered with perspiration, the two men stumbled out of the lavatory and sank into chairs in the outer office. Until they had regained their breath, they didn't say any thing. And then, as they looked at each other, and thought of the scene through which they had just been, they laughed until they were too weak to laugh any more Letter To Editor A FINE HOSPITAL Editor, The Mountaineer: Hope you will find space in your paper for this letter, in in terest of our Haywood County Hospital. I have heard a great deal of criticism about the serv ice and food ever since our hos pital was established. I had never been a patient in this hospital until last week, not then by choice but circumstances. I found the service fully as good as any hospital I have been in. I have been a patient in Ruther fordton Hospital, four times at Duke Hospital, also twice at Hen ry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Mich. As the Personnel of our hos pital is mostly home folks it makes your stay more home like. I have nothing but the hirfbest praise for the Personnel awK^rv ice of Haywood County !r5^.ital. Yours truly, Lowery Weaver Waynesville Rambling 'Round By Frances Gilbert Frazier Have you ever felt like saying a heartfelt "thank you" when you meet someone who doesn't regale you with a full account of their ailments ... or of some one else's? Perhaps the fact that each person lives closer to himself than to anyone else, and the troubles pertinent are of the utmoet im portance. causes this self-concentration. Every waking moment finds the subject at hand ready to be recognised without even an intro duction. so naturally the victim feels that the listener should b? equally interested. Alas, this is not so. For the listener probably has a fine list of personal aches'and pains that are playing a leading role in his scheme of things. As a general thing, though, the listener is the type that keeps his wonries and woes carefully locked in a secret vault, not visible to the public. There are so many subjects that can be discussed freely and delightfully, one wonders why morbid conversation is so popular witsh so many. The listener isn't callous, by any means, but sympathy can get a little threadbare and worn out when constant defhahds are made upon it needlessly. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we only had the courage and strength of character to say "Yes, it's too bad but can't we c^^ge the conversation to more pleasant things?" Be sure you've swept your own doorsteps before you criticise the condition of the ones next door. We who have never known the horror of being driven out of home and country cannot possibly understand the tragedy of the Hungarian peoples at the present time of this terrible crisis. Pic tures showing these desperate men, women and children literally fleeing for their lives bring more closely the cruelty that nations can - bring into being. Human beings crawling along hazardous makeshift^ of bridges, not knowing whether the next step will be a step nearer freedom or a sudden drop into icy water and death. And even when they have made the safe crossing, there is still the terrifying certainty that loved ones have been left behind to suffer torture and extinction. To those in this country who have extended welcoming hands and future security, there is highest praise and commendation. Theirs have been the finest gifts that humanity could extend. Flattery has the hollow sound of an empty bucket. As is only natural at this time of year, children have a curiosity only surpassed when birthdays are imminent. Every incoming pack age, regardless of size or shape, is surveyed with intense interest. And the destination of said package is carefully noted by the small fry. And thus it was with Little Johnny. So you can well imagine his wild excitement when a large box was delivered from a depart- ? ment store. But he lost all interest when he read, plainly marked in large black letters, the words: "Soap. Washing Powder". What Little Johnny didn't know was that the shipping clerk at the store was the understanding father of a young son, therefore he carefully- camouflaged the contents of the box which really con tained an electric train and all its fascinating gear. You see, it's almost here and you can't say we didn't warn you. scorrs scrap book by r. j scon v_ f 0" EXPl*S?V?. iijVs 1 vNv CMIMI*. VlSitU M 1*1. > -V Nv wa*t?* Avvros-f A Qu**4fc ?* *?
