"Those doughnuts helped a whole lol over there,' and, first crack out of the box when we land, we find more wait- ing-for us.

The dough nuts were fine, but the smile that took the place of powdered sugar." The Salvation Army Home Service Fund Campaign for $13,000,000 opens May 19, to last one week.

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. Miss Stackhouse spent Thursday with home folks at Inman, S. C. . Mrs. J. A. Steelman is the guest of her sister," Mrs. J. H. Shytle, in Ashe ville. Mrs. . Mary 0. Kelly was the guest of her sister, in Asheville, the fore part oi the week.

BUTLER, Tax Lister. , On account of delays in receiving copy, our "Opportunities" number of the NEWS will not appear until next week. . It is going to be filled with much interesting, matter pertaining to Folk county, and we would advise all desiring a copy of the paper to put in their order now. Mrs.J. W.

Every man is always making character, whether he is doing any thing else or not. Burnsville Eagle. Mr. M. G Blake, town manager, wishes to notify the citizens of Tryon that on Monday, May 26th, or the first fair day' following, a team will call at each house ior tin cans, and other indestructible rubbish. Please help the town authorities in ridding Tryon of mosquitoes, and one wav to ,1 4.1. l j.i , , , . uu una is vy morougniy cleaning up your premises before they have a chance to breed.

Place all your refuse in boxes or barrels so that the wagons can have easy access to it. 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. o 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. Mr. Heber. Carson, of Henderson ville, visited relatives in Tryon Thursday. - Mr. Eugene Brownlee attended to business affairs in Asheville Thurs day, y : , - Mr. J. H.

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 Dr. G. R. Little, Saluda; C. Ev Shore and F M. . Burgess, Columbus; M.
