PRESS AGENT SEEDED
FOR WESTERS CAROLINA
The Charlotte Observer, always a
great booster for W. N. C., points
out that our greatest need is a press
agent, somebody or some organiza
tion to tell the world what a great
section we have here.
Climate, water, scenery, all of the^
best, are no good to tourists, The
Observer aptly says; unless the.
tourists know about these things.1
Following is the article:
IF THEY ONLY KNEW
What the North Carolina mountain
region—including the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park—needs is a
press agent, of the right sort, with
ample funds to enable him to tell
the balance of the country what it
docs not know about the climate and
other attractions for summer vaca
tionists and tourists.
Asheville for u generation and
more has served well itself and North
Carolina in bringing tourists and va
cationists to that section, and long
ago it came to pass that when a pci -
son in Now York or Chicago, or
elsewhere in the Hast or Middle West,
thought of North Carolina moun
tains he thought of Asheville.
But then1 are numerous resort
places and great areas of North C ar
olina mountains just as attractive as
Asheville and many of them offering
lower summer temperatures, that the
outside world has never heard about.
When these numerous other places
h >reme as well known to the country
a> large as Asheville, then a great
merer. e in the number of summer
visitors to western North ( arolinu
may ire expected.
Suppose, for instance, that people
f moans in New York. New Jersey
and other Kastcrn States; Illinois,
Missouri. Ohio and ther Middle
Western and Mississippi Valley
States, knew what Charlotte people
know about Blowing Rock—its mid
summer nights so cool that blankets
make sleeping move comfortable—
right at the time when most of the
country is sweltering in temperatures
of 95 to 105 degrees. It would mean
Blowing Rock would soon be so
crowded that tents would have to be
provided to accommodate visitors until
new hotels could be built. Moreover,
demands for land on which to build
summer homes would run values up
and soon there would be few acres
or lots for sale.
What is true of Blowing R'<'k is
true of numbers of other places
throughout the great North Carolina
mountain area, especially on the
ere-ts and near the peaks.
The tourist and vacationist busi
ness c uld be developed in a few years
into one of North Carolina’s greatest
sources of wealth and revenue—bring
ing billions of dollars into the State
annually—if adequate information
ab lit our mountain attractions could
be properly and adequately spread
in those areas of the outside world
where there are no mountains or sum
mer breezes or cool nights in July
and August.
With quite a number of inquiries
coming in the secretary of the Wel
come to Brevard is assisting members
of the organization in securing sum
mu- folk for their places, it would be
a good idea for all who expect any
help from the organization to take a
membership at once. The cost is only
five dollars, and one party sent to
the place of a member will more than
>ake care of that expense. Of course
no people are being referred to non-!
members, as people who are paying
to carry the load don’t feel inclined to
pay for the other fellow.
We think The <'Risen was ‘‘nib
bing it in” a little too heavy by pub
lishing the pictures of I.uke Lea and
his son garbed in prison stripes.
Seems too much like kicking a dog
with a broken back.
-__- |
Now that ihe north end of Broad j
street is ic bo paved we hope that |
some of those beautiful ‘‘bouquets”!
to be seen along the main entrance i
to Brevard will be cleared. Oh gee, |
oh gosh! Reckon folk who are com-;
ing here for the first time by way of
North Broad get the idea that our
whole Community is like that?
Man here Monday after 600 cases
(30 doz. to case) of eggs and couldn’t
even get a start . . . went over to
Tennessee and bought ’em. Of course
he didn't pay much per dozen, but
the fact remains that he bought them
and paiu hard dollars for them . . .
real cash . . . that stuff we’re always
so short of in this county. Some day,
maybe, we’ll have a few hens scatter- ■
ed around and then we’ll get a chance
at those dollars.
See by the papers that Joan
Blondell is expecting a “blessed
event” within five months. Advertis
ing pays, so we firmly believe, but
there’s some personal things that we
see no earthly reason for advertising.
CLARK SAYS HE IS FOR
PROHIBITION
•--— f
Editor, The Times:
Will y-iu please give space in the
times for my reply to the inquiry of
Mr. W. F. Henderson, regarding the
position of the candidates of both
parties ns to their stand on the pro
hibition questiort in the coming
election?
I desire to state in the first place,
1 am, a- all who know my personal
life, fully committed to the principle
of prohibition and as I have been
nominated by the Republican party
as a candidate for Tax Collector in
the coming fall election, I think it
nothing but right for the public to
demand of ail candidates a full state
ment a? to their personal position on
this very important question. I am a
total abstainer from all intoxicating
liquors and believe honestly and con
scientiously in being frank and above
board in our dealings with the public.
1 give to every man a right to his
opinion on this and all moral, social
and religious questions, but from my
life long study and observations of
this troublesome question I think it
best for the rising generations, and
the public in general that the nation
have honest prohibition.
As to the second question of Mr.
Henderson as to cur position on the
absentee voters law, I am frank to
say this law has become a stench in
the nostrils of the honest, law-abiding
citizens of our great state, and it has
served the purpose for which it was
enacted, and should be forever re
pealed from our statutes. It is a
well known fact that the law-abiding,
honest, God-fearing voters of the ma
jority party desire the repeal of this
obnoxious law ar.d want a clean, hon
( election. I believe fully in the
principles of our government, guar
nr.treimr the right of all people as I
set apart in the constitution. I be
1;f-ve honestly these are two of the
most important questions coming be-;
r me the people this fall and should j
I - met courageously, honestly and,
firmlv.

LEADERSHIP
cf ^esufottAyp ti tmnnce
FlRESTONE has R-aiutained its leadership in tire
development by producing a new tire for 1934 with a wider
tread, flatter contour, deeper non-skid, greeter thickness,
and more and tougher rubber, which gives greater non-skid
safety, more traction, greater blowout protection, and more
than 50% longer non-skid mileage.
These achievements are made practical by the Firestone
patented processofGum-Dipping,providinggreatcr adhesion
between the plies of the high stretch cords and between the
Gum-Dipped body of the tire and the tough, massive
non-skid tread. It also provides greater strength, longer
flexing life, and greater protection against blowouts.
