"Once in a Blue Moon." !k' ( After weeks of waiting, the day has' arrived: preparations are com plete; the actors arc nervously pac ing the floor, and the audience is assured, and indications arc that it will be the biggest success of any home talent play ever staged "n Sylva for several years. In addition to the regular cast consisting of (main cast) seasoned theatrical talent, there is a masquer ade chorus of (business men). Thi. feature alone being worth the price of admission. These staid and stately citizens will compete in a beauty contest. Part of the chorines have been in structed to act awkward and ill at ease, to amuse the audience. Under stand, they are not really suffering from stage fright ? this is all put on for your amusement. Another feature is the Kiddy Land Prologue of Playtime, assisted by the Clown, as the reader. It is said that he gives as his ejicorc-, "Curfew Shall Not King Tonight" with appropriate gestures There will be a girls chorus whieh will give several numbers, composed of Honest to goodness pretty - ' 1'* even better looking than the mas qucraderi."

Come up tonight in good spirits With your hearts full of char ity and with intentions to laugh. Remember, that those in the cast are your fellow human beings, your fellow citizens of Sylva; that they are doing their best; that they are doing it for you* enjoyment, and because they w^re forced into it by the Rotary and Junior Clubs of Sylva. t , v .

It is expected that not only in Jackson county, but in the entire State, there will be the largest vote ever cast in a general election, ex ceeding the 7,400 in the county two years ago and the 1928 vote in the State of "685,000. If. the weather is olear, on next Tuesday, the people are expected to flock to-the polls in unprecedented numbers. South Sylva is the largest voting precinct^ in the county, and it is anticipated that it will take all day, from- sun rise to'sun set for the 1,00< or more voters in this precinct to cast their ballots. The polls will open at sunrise and elose at sunset. Immediately after the suu goes down, the election of ficials will hegin the task of tabu lating the ballot. As is usual in this county, it is expected that the coun ty box in each preeinct will be counted first, in order that the peo ple may know how the county has gone. It is generally conceded that the State will, as is nsual go Demo cratic, and leading Democrats see no reason to fear that Congressman Weaver will not be reelected Re publicans see some bope of electing Charles A. Jonas from the 0th Dis trict over Congressman Bulwi.ikie; but this District is thought to be sniidly Democratic. Jf. .immediately upon the closing | ot' the polls, the officials will open the county boxes, divide and count the straight Democratic and straight Republican ballots, and then tabu late the mixed tickets, the results in the county should be known by not later th;;ii nine o'clock, nnlesfl there should be such a close race as to require the official tabulation and a recheck to determine who has been elected. An intense campaign ,has been waged throughout the county by both sides. Republican candidates have spoken in almost every school house in the county; and Democrat ic meetings and barbecues have been held at various places, and have been attended by record-breaking crowds. The four constitutional amend ments would provide for the sub mission of constitutional amend ments speciaJ elections instead of general elections; for a four term for sheriffs; for the barring of creditors from levying against in surance money left by a man for his widow and orphans; and for the election of solicitors without regard to indicia' districts. The tickets to be voted for are: National For President. Franklin D. Roose velt, Democrat ; Herbert Hoover, Re publican. Vitfe President: John N.

MEET AT CULLOWHEE SATURDAY A heavy rain kept the Western Carolina Catamounts off the field* Monday afternoon, but Coach Pain dexter has been putting them through the paces since to get then: in good shape- for the strong Hiawassce team that will be played fln tHe Cullowhce field Saturday afternoon at three o'clock. Heavy work m "blocking, tackling and scrimmaging has made up the menu this week. The Cata mounts started off good against the Tennessee Teachers last Saturday, but finally lost through ineffective blocking and tackling. Many of the defects that appeared in the game last Saturday have been remedied and the Catamounts are planning on giving the Hiawassec outfit a sur prise to make up for the defeat suf fered last year. The Hiawasse game will be the last at Cullowhee this season, but a game is booked for Sylva, Friday, November 11. Sylva High School Athletic Association is sponsoring this game and the largest crowd to attend an athletic event in Western North Carolina is expected. Tickets are already on sale and the stores and business places of Sylva and Dillsboro have been asked to close. The program will get nnder way at one o'clock with a game between Sylva High and Western Carolina Junior Catamounts. The mat* at traction will be . between Western Carolina and Boiling Springs Col lege. This game will get under way at 2:30. These games will be played on Allison field and have been ar ranged for the benefit of the people of Sylva and Dillsboro who are back ing Sylva High and Western Caro j !ina Teachers College.^If this game ! proves a success, it is planned to have an annual game in Sylva be tween Western Carolina and some other team. , can.

(Continued on page 3 / '? . ; o'-" TODAY and I TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Sfockbridge) Women . . . Move Up Ono of the things Europeans can 't understand about. Anu'rica is the im portant part which women play in our national life. It was a shock to the other diplomats in the Swedish capital when Miss Frances Elizabeth Willis, third secretary of the Amer ican Legation at Stockholm, took full charge as U. S. Minister to Sweden when all of her superiors in the office happened to be out of the country temporarily. I don't expect to fiv? to sec a woman president of the United States, but that is not at all impoe siW?,with woteen increasing in num bers in both Houses of Congress. I am not at all sure that the country would not be better off with its af fairs under tho management of a group of intelligent grandmothers than it is under a gang of profes sional politicians. Beginning . . . and enroute Professor Einstein has figured out that the earth is at least ten billion years old. Othier scientists have dem onstrated that the beginnings of lif? go back several million times a mil lion years. The~tiuman race, in the form in which wc exist today, is at least two million years old. In those two million years there have been no important changes in our human bodies. Wc are shaped exactly like the earliest primitive men and women, our bodily func tions are just the name as theirs. The only development of humankind in all these multiplied millions of years is in our brains. / ? Mankind's power to think, to learn and to use what he learns to change his environment and so make life easier and safer, it the only impor tant difference which science can de tect between ourselves and the other animal?. The lowest type^bf human being is as superior to the highest type of ape in brain power, as Ein stein himself is superior to the Aus tralian bushma.n. Our brains are not yet large enough or efficient enough to en able us to master and apply all the facts about the world wc live in, but each .generation knows a little more than the last about the best way to live comfortably and happily, which is, after all, the sole aim of life. Flying . . . develops fast Air travel and transportation of merchandise by air Have bcconc a well-established part of the daily life of many businesses and busi ness men. Few people realize how much dependence is placed upon the airp'ane for commercial purposes. More than a miTHon pounds of freight will have been transported bv air in the United States alone this year, authorities figure. Most of this is emergency transportation, to be sure, but none the less impor tant. A friend of mine who publish* a newspaper on Long Island found that a workman had left a wrench on the press pears, when he started up the machinery. New gears were needed at once. My^ friend got out (Continued on gage 3 V i COMPETITION OF GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS GROWS (Special to The Journal Washington, D. C., Nov.2>-When Congress meets in December one of the most important reports which it will receive for consideration will be that of the committee of the House of Representatives which has been spending a great dfe#l of time in the past few months investigating the extent of the government's activities in competitive business. For years there have been protests, mostly from small and disoiganized groups, against the growing ten dency of the Federal bureaus to en gage in businesH competition wiih private enterprise. It was not until the Chamber of Commerce of the United States took the matter up that much attenction was paid to it. Now, under the spur of that power ful organization, the committee is studying the government's participa tion in the business of banking, ship building, manufacturing, power pro- * duction, printing and lithographing, retail selling and the operation of laundries, restaurants and scare* of other enterprises. In shipbuilding, the government Navy yards represeift an investment of about three hundred million dol lars, and there are only one or Two privately-owned shipbuilding plants equipped to compete with them. They can construct any type of vessel, from the smallest tug to the Inrgest battleship. At a Shipbuilder While the Navy appropriation bills usually provide that contracts shall be given to private concerns when they cannot be made in one of the navy yards without material in crease in cost, it is pointed out that of the fifteen heavy cruisers built or building at present, eight went to the navy yards and only seven to privatclyj-owned yards. The Navy hwrjuft built nine new submarines, but only one of them was built by private contract. The Government operates a gun factory in Washing ton, makes its oWn torpedoes in a factory in Newport, makes ship pro pellers, engines and other parts" in other plants, in different parts of the country. The government is very decidedly in the power business. It owns the big hvdro-electric plant at Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee River, from which it is selling power at whole sale for about $660,000 a year. The government owns the great Boulder Dam project, now under construe tion. It is not intended that the gov ernment shall operate this, but rath er lense the water to private con tractors, but some twenty-odd water power plants under the control of the Reclamation 8ervice are engaged in the sale of electrical power. Furniture and Banking Besides the manufacture in gov ernment plants of paint and varnish, gasoline engines, furniture, harness and saddlery for the army, uni forms, airplane compasses and shoes, there are a number of dairy farms owned and operated by the govern ment, for experimental purposes. The government now opi-mlca not only the Targest printing estab lishment in America, I? not in tfie world, but has five lithographing plants in Washington for the pro d action of maps, patent papers and other documents requiring the re production of drawings in small edi tions. The committee is investigating the complaint of bankers against the activities of the Federal Farm Board, which makes loans to farm organisations at rates lower than any private bank or private organization could afford. Exporters have com plained of the activities of the Farm Board in the purchase of grain and cotton for stabilisation purposes and in its competition with grain merchants, privately owned cotton gins and compressors, warehouses, fruit packing p'ants and livestock and wool industries. The committee has received com plaints that the government cuta nnd sells timber grown on public lands in competition witff the pri vately owned nnd operated lumber industry. This complaint became so serious that a year or two ago Pres ident Hoover intervened and the gov eminent timber activities have been greatly pdueei. ?
