POLK COUNTY NEWS C. BUSH, Publisher N. M: FRASER. Editor Phone 99. Published every Thursday at Tryon, North Carolina . -v. For ?.!?'.) Adv?*r( H I RK'AV PR! \ - < < * .1 i< - v LINK UP THE HIGHWAYS Now that the hard surface road between Tryon and Columbus is completed and open to traffic the various civic bodies of ? the county are urging the continuance of the road into Rutherfordlon. Such a road would be of unlimited value to this county in building of the county and the establishment of recreational facilities at Turner Shoals after its completion uext year. This lake, as we understand, is to be but one *of a chain of four and possibly five to be constructed in the Green River valley. Western North Carolina is rapidly arriving at the conclusion that the lack of lakes is now practically the only drawback to an otherwise per fect recreational center. Many com munities throughout the western counties are urging the construction of lakes and a few have already built lakes for their tourist tr&de. The Blue Ridge Power company Is placing , this chain of lakes in our county for the development of power is overcoming the only serious recreational lack that Polk county had among it many advantages that can be offered the pleasure seeker of both North and" South. It remains now for the county to bring pressure to bear on the High way Commission to link up the Appa lachian and Asheville-Charlotte high ways through our county in order to tap thest two main arteries that lead into the Land of the Sky and bend every effort .to make this coun ty attractive enough to induce tour ists and the motoring public to so journ within the borders of the county. With a hard surface road or even a well kept top-soil road across the county many tourists could be diverted across the county to the Pacolet valley road or going the other way toward the Chimney Rock road at Rutherfordton. The Cham ber of Commerce and other civic or ganizations of this latter city might be induced to cooperate with Polk county organizations to place this matter before the State Commission to their own advantage as well. o POLK COUNTY MEMORIAL Five years have goneby^sn^e hostilities ceased between the war ring nations in the Great War or -1 914-18. Polk county lost sons in the World War and gave her quota i of men and womefl to the Service of their country for whom no memorial has as yet been erected. Cities, communities and States throughout the nation have honored those who served as well as those whopaid the supreme, sacrifice by fitting memor ials. A move is now on foot to adopt the Tryon-Columbus highway as a Mem- j orial with the erection of a suitable moHument bearing a tablet setting | forth the war record of Polk county | at Columbus. Every organization in ? the county should foster this move- 1 ment and there could be no more fit ting day for the dedication of the | Highway as a memorial than Armis- 1 tice Day. Sunday. November 11. Interest is being renewed in a Polk i County Memorial to those who paid 1 the supreme sacrifice as well as those who served in the various branches of the Service during the World War. From time to time var ious commendable plans for memo rials have been discussed by the members of the committee appointed shortly after the cessation of hostil ities in 1918. Among these were a monument and a community .house j for the county. With the approach of Armistice Day interest is being renewed in the memorial and varying suggestions are being discussed again. Tt has recently been suggested by W. A. Cannon, secretary and treasurer of the Memorial Association that the new Tryon-Columbus Highway 0 would make a , fitting ar\d lasting memorial to those men and women who served their country from Polk county. Communication with the State Highway Commission brought permission from that body to the people of the county to set apart the highway with a suitable marker as a memorial. The plan has been discussed to erect a creditable marker or monument at the Columbus end of the highway upon which a tablet could be placed setting forth the facts concerning those who served from the county. Many of the schools of the county have pledged their support to the As sociation in this undertaking and the committee desire to hear fur ' ther from the people of the county as to their opinion on this manner of commemorating those who served. Any contributions that may be made toward this memorial may be sent to any bank in the county or to W. A. Cannon at Lynn. "ARBOR DAY" . . Friday, "Arbor Day" throughout the country has this year a double ' significance as it marks the birth day of Warren G. Harding, whose tragic death in California served to emphasize in the popular mind in ' I which his qualities of love aud sym pathy has become a national asset. On his trip through the West and ; j Alaska there ran through all the speeches of the late President a ( note of keenest appreciation and note for the preservation and 1 I perpetuating of natural resources ? for the common use and enjoyment. I I The same simple and reverent in- j .stint that made him a lover of his! jiiml grew inhim an unaliected but 1 ! sincere regards for nature and an J understanding of what it means to human beings. That he was deeply I interested in the conservation of I ! forests, in the beautificatlon of the ! of tjie land in the popular interest' j.was made' manifest time and again ! in eloquent public utterances. * The hundreds of thousands of i school children who will participate | in Arbor Day exercises next Friday i j have the opportunity through the I j planting of Harding Memorial Oaks 1 j not only to aid materially the essen tial understanding of tht* place the tree takes in the common life, but to gain a positive exercise through ex I ample in a wholesome patriotism. ? 0 j Many & high fli?-r rn.ls In u low i dive. At the bathing beaches there is un burn enough for all. * Long ago the novelty was worn off the automobile killings. How carefree the man who ha* bad his vacation and recovered. Prosperity makes a good political a?? ffiiDfent just as long as it lasts. Turn to the right is a good motto, hut it's best to slacken speed betort turning. What's become of the old-fashioned prejudice against "short-haired women"? Krperts say that fruit is best when it ripens on the stem. Does that mean bananas also? Disarmament's strongest point la ' that nations that arm to the teeth always show them. Barbers propose a dollar hair cut. ; The effect of that i*- perhaps t<*o hor rible to contemplate. ' o Polk County Agent J. R. Sams Department . A SPIN TO COOPER GAP k George Taylor Farm The first farm visited was Mr. I George Taylor's. 1 first inspected ! the garden and found growing 'cab- j bage, collards, tomatoes, fresh and j green peppers of all kind and many j other useful veget^les. We then inspected a clover lot 1 that shows a good stand and prom- ? ises to do do well," even without i lime. In addition to these evidences of 1 thrift, I hard a clicking down at the j branch and on close inspection I found a hydraulic ram pjishing i water up to the house on an elevat- 1 ed site of beauty. Mr. Taylor informed me that Jie is I preparing to have lumber sawed to 1 enter thfc Better Home and School * Campaign. Andy Lynch Farm ? ? Near by is Mr. Andy Lynch's farm. Here 1 found Mr. LynchNhar<I i at work taking up Porto Rican j sweet potatoes. Looking across the j premises, I 'saw a green field and j asked Mr. Lynch what kind of weeds ; | were growing on that hill? | He promptly replied, "that Is not weeds, it is red clover, that thing that Polk county farmers say wont grow in Polk county." I asked him I how much land it took to make : j clover grow that way. He replied I tha% he used nothing but a little stable manure. Mr. Lynch says he means to make clover grow to en- j rich his land and to feed his stock. N. T. Wilson Farm t Mr. T. N. Wilson was gathering i 1 corn, the ears looked like opossums ' hanging by the tail. It was corn j sure enough. Mr. Wilson is a live wire, and with I such men and improved Roads and I Schools, old Cooper Gap Township will be a royal place in which to live. i , . . 1 !* * ' ~ i ~ ? ? 1 w. - TRYON GRADED SCHOOL # * By Gmd.ill Browniee At the meeting of the Boys Liter- 1 ary Society held last Friday after- ; noon recitations were given by the members and an (jration by I^on White.
