THURSDAY. DEC. 7, 1939 CONGRATULATIONS TO BOONE (Skvland Post) One of the most successful civi enterprises and one of the bigge? assets to this section of North Care lina, Virginia and Tennessee is th recent establishment of a burley ti banco market in Boone. Starting in 1930, the productio ot tobacco in the northwestern pai of this state has increased each yea until now nearly l.OCO farmers ; Ashe alone raise burley. Jn Wa: auga, as well as in other countie it has also become one of the leac ing crops in a comparatively shoi time. Along with this growth in produi tion the marketing problem has bt come more acute each year. Th nearest markets have been too f? and season alter season it has bcc more difficult for farmers to se their tobacco after they took it 1 the warehouses because of biocko sales. Being in the center of a burie producing a*?ea ana realizing tl need for better marketing facilitie K^$L- th? progressive and pubiic-spiritr business an rt professional men < Boone went to work in earnest ia spring and labored diligently an faithfully until they secured a fu set of buyers, raised the necessai amount of money to construct modern, $25,000 warehouse. Not stone was left unturned and we coi gratulate the fine citizens of Boor and Watauga county in the estal lishmcnt of the Mountain Burlc Market, which will open or. D< comber 12th. This paper advocated the estat iisiunem 01 a loDacco marKet net long bfcore Boone launched the movement. Some effort was mad to obtain one, but the program laj ged, partly because of several otl er activities, including the fair an hospital projects which required lot of time and money. Again we wish to congratuial Boone and also the Watauga Demi crat, which issued last Thursday on of the finest special market oper ing editions that we have ever seei KEEPER OF THE SEAL (Winston-Salem Journal) The British government has turn ed over to the United States fo safe-keeping e.ne of the four orig: nal copies of the Tvlagna Chart signed and sealed by King John a Kunnymede in 1215 A. D The gesture is of great symbol ica suggcstiveness. The free society o English-speaking races dates iron Magna Charta. The United State: has been made a keeper of the sea of ancient liberties. The keeper of the ark of the an cient laws has great responsibilitie: thrust upon his shoulders. Wit' what jealous zeal did the leaders o Israel guard the ark of the coven ant! How sincerely they believer that it must be carried along will them when they engaged in warfar. with the tribes wnich threatenc-. their independence! America has been made a guardi an of the covenant of freedom. It destiny depends upon the jealou care it gives to the performance o its task. This much do we read in the sigi and symbol. Frcm the brutalh practical standpoint it might be saic thai the acceptance for safe-keepin: of a musty old waxed parchmen adds little to the sacred duty al ready resting upon the Unitdr States to preserve democracy. Per haps this is so, but the symbolist! is beautiful and to a degree inspir ing. Hence, like the Statue of Liberty gift of the French, the British gif or loan of the Magma Charta hi the power to evoke memories, t recall to mind the fundamental upon which our society rests. DECEMBER?AGAIN (Christian Science Monitor) Come in, December! We're gla to see you. You never come unt the year is nearly over, but you't always welcome. You are bringin us something, you say?

Mr. R. C. Rivets. r Watauga Democrat. Boone N. C ' Dear Bob: ^ Your special edition of the "Demo>' crat" not only has the appearance Lt of a "big city daily," but it exceeds le anything 1 have ever seen for a cit\ l- the size of Boone. Congratulations 5. to you and Jim (since I read that j Id he helped you with the edition), i and I know that these lines will bo i only a starter for the hundreds of i - letters you will get praising your ef- j 1(1 forts. ? With this new tobacco warehouse, your livestock market, and other ? improvements, your father. Uncle Dick and other "old timers" would not believe their eyes were they to - return to this earth again. All those things almost seem impossible to Boone?-formerly considered a "backwoods" town without a rail j road (wide gauge!) i Really, 1 have seen many "special editions?" from the New York Times to those of a small semiweekly in Texas which I used to > publish, but yours takes the cake! : It is my hope that the expcctn- j n lions of the merchants, the stork- j :t holders, and the citizenship will be l ir far more than realized on your n opening day. Wish 1 could be there I t- I to help "paint the town red." s. Please tell Bill Loviil that I'll just 1 have to buy him a quarter cigar it when 1 see him for putting thai one I over.

An immense amount of time and energy is constantly wasted, he say;-, by useless talking Some of these essentials that he I nil .1 ivj11 tunvtniatiunalist arc as follows: The first condition of Rood talking is clear, well-ordered thinking. If your thoughts are in confusion your speech is liable to bo non-effective. Talking should not be a verbal nor vocal contest, but a mutual exchange of ideas. Monologues are tiresome. Don't give advice. Advice costs nothing and is usually worth what it costs. Don't exaggerate. It is easy to let your desires anil feelings overcolor your views. Give the impression of under statement rather than overstatement and what you say will have more effect. Keep your voice low. A low voice is not only on excellent thing in a woman, as Shakespeare savs. but it is good for anybody. Many people are trying to talk to, hocause they constantly bawl so lood. They drawn out their opponent with sound. Don't tell unduly long stories. Don't make a reputation for being a "funnv" man. This will pot you ir. the class of lightweights. Stories are like seasoning or salt. They should he very judicially intermingled and it is easy to get too inany of them. Do not interrupt another. Wait quietly for your turn to sneak. Don't relate lengthv personal experiences. A thing may he interesting to you because it is about vourself. but it is usuall" boresome to other people. Don't be imnatient. When you observe that your listener does not wish to be convinced ; change the subject. Don't argue. Argument never | convinced anybody. Suggest. Sedulously avoid controversial de- 1 bate about religion or politics. Peo- j pie have made up their minds about these ouestions beforehand and do | not welcome your attempt to change their opinions. Be careful about ridicule. Peonle ; 11 Vw\ o rn urtt ? "? I1UI JLIIOIUVV CUAHU Ctl I v - I tiling else are very quick to resent this. Speak clearly. Do not mumble. Conversation is more than idle exercise or ornamental superfluity. Its purpose is to keep the other party amused and interested. It is the wire' upon which runs the current of your electric personality. Everybody should know how to keep up these wires and to gently stimulate another's interest. If you don't know how to talk, rection of Mr. R. L. Clay, superintendent of the church school. All workers of tire church school are urged to be present. THURSDAY?BOONE. N.
