Tryon has been doing great things
for everybody and every place for the
past three years except for herself.
It is time to look around, take stock
of our needs, and do something to
help our own town and community.
Some time ago we published an
article from Mrs. Morton in which
she stated that there were seven
museums in the State of North Caro
lina, two of which were in Tryon.
Both these collections are made up of
articles that money could not replace,
at least some of them, if they were
destroyed.' At present they are both
packed away where they are doing
nobody any good. The Lanier Club
has undertaken to place one of these
collections in a presentable shape,
but the committee in charge realizes
that there -is not sufficient room in
the Library building for this collec-.
tion, and hardly knows what to ao m
the- matter.
Why not raise money enough to
add a suitable "room to the Lanier Li
brary building where both collections
rt-WpM as others that would be do
nated, could find a suitable and per
manent home? It has been estimat
ed that $1,000 will do it. That is not
much money for such an important
matter. What do you, think about it?
We would like to have this matter dis
cussed, and .will , readily donate space
in our paper for that purpose.

The work of beautifying Trvon has
taken on a more hopeful aspect. The
Southern Railway Co., has written
the Lanier Club wanting to know if
that organization will aid in putting
tne railway embankment - m shape
and wants to know if ' enough ivv
vines can be securedJto cover the un
sightly bank. Some of the ladies
have suggested that running roses be
substituted for ivy; and that not only
will it make a more sightly aboear-
ance, but will prevent washing even,
even better than the ivy. The South
ern has but recently repainted all its
property, cleaned up and put m good
shape everything over which it has
jurisdiction. Now it is up to the
town authorities to see that the good
work of the railway company is not
allowed to be destroyed.
o
THE TOWN BUDGET.
one
ap-
Now that the world has been made
safe for peace and democracy the
next big job will beto make every in
dividual community m the country
safe and wholesome as a- place for
wholesome and happy living. Com
munity dvelopment is the next great
step in American life. Each commun
ity will have problems of its own to
solve. Certain it is that no commun
ity in North Carolina will fail to take
stock and plan for better things.
Realizing this fact, the last legisla
ture provided a plan whereby coni1
munities might organize effectively,
for community development along
wholesome social lines. , : -
Three public-spirited citizens,
woman and two men, are to be
pointed m each county as a county
board of public welfare. These citi
zens will advise with the local author
ities on community problems, and will
especially .aid the county superinten
dent of public welfare to carry out
the duties of his office. The memebrs
serve without pay.
Th county superintendent of public
welfare is to be elected by the county
commissioners and the county board
of education in each county in " the
State not later 'than July 15th. He
should be elected as soon as possible.
He is to be paid jointly by the two
boards. A complete compulsory school
attendance law goes into effect July
first, and the county superintendent
of public welfare is to be the chief at
tendance officer. He is also to be the
chief probation officer of the county
attending upon the juvenile court. It
is highly important that he be a man
of tact, energy and usefulness. "
Thus each county wilr be provided
with a county board of public welfare
and a county superintendent, , whose
duties will be to look after the unfor
tunate in every way, and especially
the sick, the neglected, the wayward
or truant children, and to aid families
m solving the problems relating to
such conditions; in short, to be a so
cial worker and leader wherever his
services are needed. In addition to
this, the county board will aid - and
lead in planning community programs-
of various kinds, amusements.. recre
ations, and community projects gen
erally, and assist in correcting and
jv f ., i i , T j
uniting tne iorces aireaay in existence
thus each community has the mean3
of going ahead with its own plans of
social development and progress.
County Superintendent, Prof. E. W.
P . Jo WW eet-rs trrat thcr-Doard Xf Ethr-
cation has several names unnder con
sideration for the position of county
superintendent of public welfare, and
will take the fitness of every one un
der very careful advisement. This is
one of the most important questions
in our county, and we sincerely trust
that a man worthy the position will
secure the appointment. It it also
highly necessary that the remaining
personal of the board be secured from
representative Polk county citizens.

JOHN EARLY AGAIN.
Thursday's papers tell us that -the
District of Columbia refuses to pay
for the keeping of John Early in the
leper's home in Louisiana, stating
that he is a resident of North' Caro
lina, i
It'sems to us that this poor unfor
tunate man has received about the
most unjust and uncalled for treat
ment of any person we know of.1 If
not a resident of the District' of' Co
lumbia nor. of North Carolina, he is
a citizen of th United States, and as
such is entitled to at least the treat
ment of a human being. A man who .
gave the time tha he did to he Gov
ernment of the United 'States as one
of her soldiers is entitled to more hu-
mane treatment than he is receiving.
It brings humiliation oh his rela
tives and friends, to say nothing of
his own remorse, and is ajdisgraceful
action on the-part of either the Dis
trict of Columbia, North Carolina or
the United States.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE.
At a call meeting of the Mayor and,
Bpard of Commissioners of the Town
of Tryonj held in "the -office of the
Mlanager, last Friday night, the bud
get for the year was discussed and
left open until the regular meeting,
to be held Monday June 2nd, in Town
Hall, at 8:30 p. m.
Any one interested should be pres
ent and make their suggestion known
at this meeting.
A telephone was ordered placed at
the residence of Chief Wilson. -
M. G BLAKE, Clerk.
The Salvation Army drive is now
on and Polk county is expected to fill
its quota by Saturday, night' so that
reports can go to headquarters at
that. time.'.. .About -half of the quota
has been paid in with subscriptions
in slowly. W. F Little, County
Chairman says that practically all the
subscriptions have, come 'in from '
Tryon and that it is how up to 'the
rest of the county to get busy. Try- -on
has raised over one-half of Polk
County's quota. Surely the rest of -Polk
will not ask Tryon -to assume all
of Polk's quota. Tryon will do it
rather than see Polk county fall down
on such a noble cause. ' V ".
Subscriptions, are being received by
