ADVERTISING PAYS
The advertising program j
which has been pursued by the
state of North Carolina, under
the Department of Conservation ,
and Development, has brought
literally thousands of responses
from every section of the United j
States and from almost all the
countries of the earth?all seek- '
ing further information about j
the state, the opportunities of- t
fered the tourist, the homeseek- t
er, the farmer, or the business '
man. Lists of these inquiries j
are being forwarded to the
Governor's hospitality groups in 1
all the counties of the state, as
well as to the Chambers of Commerce.
In glancing over one of these 1
lists, one finds a large number !
of persons interested in this par- j
ticular section of the state. Many j"
of them want small farms, some
of them spots for summer cottages,
while others want to know (
when the azalea blooms or what
time of year the brook trout in
the mountain streams are usu- '
ally hungriest. And there's
where the whole thing assumes
a local aspect. i
The state is spending thousands
of dollars for this advertising,
which is bringing unprecedented
results. The duty now }
devolves upon the Chambers of
Commerce and the hospitality v
organization to get to work on y
these inquiries. If they are nor
followed up. the publicity pro- c
gram will bring scant results. ,
Failure to act on such of these j
inquiries as concern tnis section,
would liken us to a shopkeeper
who advertises his merchandise
and refuses to show the prospective
customer the goods
when he enters the establishment.
MEMORIAL TO DR. HARDIN
(The Pinnacles)
6
Hie many frier.ds of the late Dr.
R. H. Hardin, of the staff of Grace J
Hospital, .will long cherish the memory
of a great man?a friend, a phy- ,
sician who ministered to all, and an
honored citizen.
To those most closely associated '
with him in his work, the hospital 1
staff and others connected with the *
association, there has come the idea *
of establishing a fitting memorial to
this beloved doctor. The memorial e
which has been planned is a medicial
library in connection with the 1
hospital, a large collection of medical
hooks available not only to the staff s
cf the hospital but to doctors and v
nurses throughout this area in which
there are few centers of medical 1
learning. The memorial is more 8
than just a dream. Already the first c
contributions toward this library
have been made, and a room in the ^
hospital has been set aside for the
books. Later on, a special section of
the new library building which i3 s
Isnr.rol fnn on o nnef of D,r>A,.olon I
uvycu xui cw <* pan. vi uic uovcivu ment
program may be devoted to this
medical library.
Under the supervision of Miss
Mtorybeth Hurst, record librarian at ,
Grace Hospital, the first steps in the
establishment of the library are being
taken. Frier.ds of the association are ?
being written of the plan and being
given the opportunity to have a part '
in is founding. Two substantial con- 1
tributions of valuable books have already
been made. Shortly before *
Christmas, the ladies of Banner Elk held
a bazaar, the proceeds from
which will go toward the equipment
of the library room.
With this beginning, and with this 1
purpose of building a lasting and use- .
ful memorial to one who himself i
wished to see a medical library es- I
tabltahed here for the use of all, it ;
is hoped that in the near future a 1
complete library may become a re- j <

DIAGNOSIS
For the treatment of disease v
pay willingly, especially if treatmei
is associated with an operating th
aire or with some mysterious ele
trie machine. But for the diatnos
of disease, for finding out what e:
actiy is wrong with us, we expect
pay little or nothing. And we ai
willing to trust almost any opinic
if it is given with assurance.
Perhaps this is because the plum
er, the radio engineer, the autonu
bile mechanic charge only for the r
pairs they make. Wie are used
that system and fail to realize Lh:
the human body is a machine ft
more delicate, complicated and ind
vidual than any radio. The greate
! experts in medicine freely admit Ui
they have often made mistakes
diagnosis.
Because of their blind faith in i
competent or fraudulent dispense
! of 'cures," some people pay larj
sums of money for the treatment
cancer, yet never suffer from canc
at all. Afterwards they write grat
! ful testimonials to the main who
' supposed to have cured them. Tli
: is true also of other diseases.
r If anyone doing a private busine
: in any of the so-called healing ar
. offers free examination, it mea
' one of two things: either his ex an

paying hiirteelf for the examinatii
