In an editorial comment the Gas tonia Daily Gazette, of last Saturday, calls the attention of Gastonians to the Family Welfare Association of Forest City. "What has become of the movement in Gastonia for an As sociated Charities which was inaugu rated a few weeks ago? Forest City started this thing long after Gastonia did and now they are having their campaign today. Preparatory to to day's campaign there have been sev eral days of intensive effort looking toward the campaign. The season of the year approaches when there is need of charity and from indications there will be nothing but the usual source from which to draw in Gas tonia." That Forest City is advancing in many things more rapidly than many other cities of much larger population is evident from such comments as the editor of the Gazette makes. This is mighty good advertising and it will be up to Forest City to "make good." The charity organization is one move in the right direction and there are so many others we could make that our town might be a bigger, broader and better town. Courtesy to strangers, co-operation of commercial, industrial and finan cial interests and service that satis fies to all, with plenty of legitimate publicity will cause people to know that Forest CiLy is a mighty good town in which to locate. Mills, fac toiies and other industries have made the larger towns of North Carolina what they are ind they will make Forest City. They can be had if the brainy business men of Forest City will go after them. It isn't your town, it is you that makes or mars and you can make your town what you will. ASHEVILLE'S ENTERPRISE. We must give the city of Asheville credit for unselfishness in its elabo rate p!an for advertising itself in the fruitful field of Florida, because, while Asheville will be directly bene fitted, the whole of western North Carolina will share in the profits flowing from the Asheville enterprise, says The Charlotte Observe]*. The Asheville Chamber of Commerce is embarked on what The Citizen calls "a tourist hunt" in Florida, and it v ill beat the fields where the largest covies are located, Miami and St. Petersburg being the objective points. Half the Chamber of Commerce, says The Citizen, will go to Florida the first of the year and make a big show ing for Asheville "with newspaper, billboard, road and other advertising. There will be intensive publicity con centrated on big crowds and not half way effort like that of the merchant who advertises sporadically. The new campaign is by far the best planned Asheville has known." Ana, while Asheville Is doing this! for herself, she is also doing it for North Carolina in general. The main tide will be directed to the mountain city, but the overflow will be dispers ed in as many directions as good roads lead. It is a fine bit of enter prise Asheville has undertaken, and not only that city, but the State, in general, is destined to benefit from it.

THE FOREST CITY COURIER FOX HUNTERS MEET HERE IN ANNUAL BANQUET: j; (Cont'd From Page One) vidson was as follows: ; All sports are fine—we love them all, I Swimming, fishing, golfing and ball; j But the sport to which our heart i most thrills Is an old time fox hunt in the hills. j I You take your dogs, just after dark, ! To grounds where wild life loves to j park— Where birds and rabbits both abound And there unleash your starter hound, j He makes a circle through the fields, And if no scent of fox it yields, On, on he goes—he'll not come back Until he finds sly Reynard's track. You wait and listen for some time, Then like a distant belfry chime, You hear a note both strong and clear Ring out upon the evening air. Old Lead is bugling on a trail, And all the dogs begin to wail, You hesitate, and then you yield— j They're loose, and off across the field.; And soon we hear the flying pack A-baying on old Reynard's track. An orchestra with tones like this, Could fill the hunter's heart with bliss Old Drum is singing second bass, While just behind the little Ace, Sings high tenor, sweet as a flute, With variations in to boot. Old Limber leads with baritone — His notes as clear as a trombone; And hear, distinct above the rabble Old Fashioned Kate is singing treble. Such range of voice from low to high, Such wealth of tone a s they speed by, In hot pursuit of Reynard's brush — A medley sweet as a wood thrush. The dogs are now in full voice crying, While o'er the ground their feet are flying, And out in front the old Red Sheik Is going like a lightning streak. He leads the pack o'er hill and glen, Around a turn and back again— Doubling, circling, hiding, spying— Sometimes he goes like he was flying. Of all wild game he is most cunning, And while before the pack he' s run ning, He's working tricks to lose the dogs, As running roads or walking logs. For when he needs a little rest He pulls some trick that he thinks best, And while the dogs work out the trail, He strolls off to some distant vale. From hill to hill sly Reynard flits— Both he and dogs are matching wits, You're never sure from start to end, Just which of them at last will win. Sue Kate and Limber are fox wise And can't be fooled, by a disguise And so at last to save his soul Poor Reynard takes a hated hole. Now sounds the hunter's horn aloud, In comes the dogs to swell the crowd; 'Tis then you feel, as echo rings, That this is sport quit fit for kings. —Benson Rule Stout.
