The hunting season will soon get under way in full blast, and it is well to review some of the things of importance which may make it sure that you and your friends can return from your hunting trip without a tragedy. The Extension Service lists "Ten Com mandments of Safety," which are follow ed by all good hunters: Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your auto, camp and home. Always be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle, even if you stumble. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. Never leave your gun unattended un less you unload it first. Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun. Never shoot at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water. Don't mix gunpowder and alcohol. Advertising Pays Off For North Carolina While the state of North Carolina may have lagged in some phases of progress, particularly education and public health, North Carolina made a progressive move several years ago that has really placed the state in a position of leadership in the travel industry and has helped industrial ly and commercially. We refer to the move on the part of the state in setting up an advertising bureau to promote North Carolina in the national spotlight. > Launched 11 years ago, this advertising program has paid off at the rate of $100 to $1, according to a report given this week by Bill Sharpe, former newspaper man now head of the State Division of Advertising and News. Here are figures cited in Mr. Sharpe's report: The return has come in the form of in vestments in new industries, agricultural settlers, and in revenue from the travel industry. In gasoline tax revenue alone, said Sharpe, the state today is reaping $4,000,000 annually more than it would get without an advertising campaign. Making public figures from a two-year survey of the travel industry, the speaker said North Carolina's third largest indus try, in terms of gross income, is derived from travelers, who, in 1947, spent over $192,000,000 in the state, ranking the travel industry third in the state, ahead of furniture manufacturing with an annu al income of $165,000,000. "Viewed as a Crop," said Sharpe, "the tourist crop is far ahead of their corn or cotton and is out-distanced only by tobacco as a money maker for this commonwealth." Other conclusions reached by the sur vey released include: Thirty-seven communities in North Car olina with a total population of 124,533 Nmt the travel business as their No. 1 Jhess and in over half of these there are no other significant enterprises. In 41 other towns (with population of 57,600), it ranks 2nd or third in furnishing, em ployment and income. These centers, pri mary and secondary, are located in coun ties having a total population of 854,582. Nearly 6,000,000 out-of-state visitors come to North. Carolina in motor vehicles each year, a third of them "transient tourists" Y>n their way to other areas. Nearly 4,000,000 out-of-staters (aside from the 2,000,000 transients) visited North Carolina in 1947, stayed from a few hours to six months, but with an average stay of six days each. They spent from zero to $30 or more per day each, but averaged $6 per day, leaving $36 apiece, or $144,000,000. With the 2,000,000 trans ients, the total contribution is $152,500, 000. North Carolinians traveling away from home overnight or longer, on busi ness or pleasure, and out-of-staters travel ing in buses, trains, planes, spent another $40,000,000. North Carolina has 61,438 rooms avail able for touristts or travelers, about a third of them in listed hotels, the others I in inns, tourist homes, motor courts, cot tage colonies, dude ranches, summer cot tages. These rooms can acfcommodate 137, 801 persons. They are occupied an aver age of 200 times per years (54 per cent occupancy) and the average expenditure for one person occupying a bed in North Carolina for one night is $7 for all pur poses, including transportation, a total from all travelers of $192,921,400 per year. From this travel industry the state of North Carolina derives in taxes at least $15,000,000. Additional revenue accrues to local towns and counties through privi lege and other taxes. o Of course that New York bus strike came just at the moment when John Q. Public had an invitation to ride on the political bandwagon. ? Greensboro Daily News. Fresno State College of California re scinds its invitation to Henry Wallace to make a speech on campus. Henry'll prob ably accept that as evidence of his perse cution for righteousness sake, but it will generally be placed to the credit of Fres no's return to consciousness. o LIFE'S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR High Point, N. C., Route 4 IF YOU STAND ALONE If you take your stand for the right and have to stand alone, don't despair. Re member great men in the past have had to stand alone, or almost alone, when they undertook to put down vice and wicked ness and upheld truth and righteousness. The enemy may tell you that you are fighting a losing battle, and that you had just as well quit but declare unto him that you have no aim, no desire, no intention of quitting. Tell him that quitters never win, and that winners never quit. I had rather stand alone and stand right, than stand with a multitude and stand wrong. We know that it may not be popu lar to take your stand against lots of evils that the world delights in, and that you will be hated, scoffed and scorned at by some people, but you will live on when they are dead and forgotten. Your work will grow and flourish, while the evil that they stood for, and the good that they destroyed, will stand out as a witness against them for time and eternity. God is always with and for those who give themselves unto Him and go forth to do His will. God on our side means vic tory, sooner or later, but the devil on the side of those who do*wrong, and uphold the wrong means defeat. All evil must come to nought, even if it sometimes seems to flourish for a long period of time. Sin and sinners cannot stand in the light of the judgment, neither can sin and sin ners enter the kingdom of heaven. It doesn't show littleness to stand alone, but greatness, when you stand against wrong and for right. It takes great cour age to thus stand, great principles, great aims, great purposes, great faith and a strong and indomitable will. But stand. Show yourself a man. Prove to mankind that you have a backbone. Let them know that cowards are spineless and purpose less ;^or if they have a purpose it is a wrong purpose and will fail. There is greatness and glory in standing alone when it pleas es God, and when it will bless the world. Amen. Asking Funds For Oxford Orphanage Thoughts of the large family at the Oxford Orphanage begin to turn towards the Thanksgiving season when thousands of Masons and other friends anually give generously of their means to the welfare of boyB and girls who need and so well deserve them. This Is of the utmost Importance In these young lives. The Oxford Orphanage for three-quarters of a* century has specialized in every phase of properly rearing orphaned chil dren. Its contribution of more than 6,000 well-equipped and worthy young men and women to good citizenship is a living testi monial to the importance and usefulness of the institution whose sole object is to serve. The Grand Lodge of Masons owns and operates the Oxford Orphanage, hut has never restric ted its service to the children of Masons. Eighty percent of the children in the institution are of non-Masonic parentage. At Ox ford the question of parentage vields to the need of the child. That is the decisive argument. The need of Orphanages today for greater support is pressing. They must have more money?or else. You know what that means. Superintendent Gray is forced by circumstances to stress in creased donations this Thanks giving. The expense of operating the Oxford Orphanage has been growing every year and now is at a peak. When one thinks of the multiplicity of service the insti tution has to perform, it is e nough to open the hearts and purses of benevolent men and and women. Here is a partial list of the kinds of service impera tively demanded: shelter, cloth ing, food, recreation, heat, light books, school supplies, health prd grams, athletic equipment, staff of trained workers, vocational training in several departments, laundry, repairs and upkeep of grounds, buildings and equip ment, experienced case work, and so on. There is no economy in neg lect. When we do not pay from the heart, often we have to pay "through the nose." Juvenile de linquency is an acute problem of the times. Its prevalence, is de plorable. The Orphanage helps materially in the solution of this social problem by raring and, training children who otherwise would not have a chance. If it did no more than this, the Or phanage would juetify its ex istence. As a tax payer and pub lic-spirited citizen you are vital ly interested in it. "Gratitude is a species of jus tice", said a wise man. Our fore bears so interpreted it when A-| merica was in the making. Who is there wh? should not feel a deep sense of gratitude? Express your gratitude at the Thanksgiving season by a gen-j erods donation to the Oxford Or phanage. The 1948 ooton crop will bo the largest In 11 Tears. The demand for various fruits during 1949 will be abont the same as for the cnrrent year. j ENROLL NOW IN THE NORTH WILKESBORO BEAUTY SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION NOT REQUIRED $20 Worth of Beauty For $10 YES, A $20At WAVE FOR $10.00 $10.00 Permanent* $SA0 Tit Permanent* .. _ 6AO Permanent* 5.00 Permanent* 4.00 Permanent* SHAMPOO AND SET $.75 SAO SAO 40c UP No Appointment Keeeaaary Telephone 50 North Wilkosboro Beauty School Over City Barber Shop North WDkeoboro, N. f .
