Amen. Mr. Redden' s Contribution : CHARLES FRAZ1ER REDDEN, whose love of the mountains of Macon county brought him to Highlands eight years ago to build his home and to spend his last days, had faith in the future "of this section as a great resort and playground. Having successfully promoted and established one of the South's most popular sea coast, resorts, he turned his interests to Highlands. Last summer, at the request of the Asheville Citizen-Times, he wrote a feature story urging the same sort of promotiona advertising for Western North Carolina that had reaped such a golden harvest for Florida and Cali fornia. His observations were based on his accurate knowledge of the results and his unbounded faith in the attractions of this section in its range of cli mate ,health, scenic and other advantages to offer to both vacationist and home seekers. One significant truth was emphasized by this man of vision who made his dreams come true by practical hard work. It is the simple method of "making friends" and the cultivation of contact, so that the enthusiasm of visitors . k carried to others who come on the strength of this sort of "imaginative publicizing"- ' This expert . the field of successful advertising and "creative publicity" told Western North Caro 1V3nit her gold mine had only been tapped. He believed in a vast field of( possibilities for the de velopment of this section to serve added thousands who only heed to know of its existence. Our Job This Summer "THE meeting of the Franklin Chamber of Com- merce called for Thursday evening, April ll will be the most important yet assembled. As Franklin's only community club for coopera tion in the interest of all the citizens, and of serv ice to visitors, this organization has served during the past few seasons as a point of contact between those seeking and offering accommodations. While the services have been limited, the need of the cham ber of commerce has been thoroughly demonstrated and its worth proven. Each year the activities have been extended. Last year's report opened the eyes of the Franklin public as to the extent of services given to visitors. Last year was a good season. More people came, and hotels, guest homes and business generally profited. Everyone felt that the amount they had paid to support the chamber of commerce had been well spent. Many who did not join received the same benefits as those who paid dues. But, taken all in all, there was the assurance that the commun ity had advanced in a spirit of cooperation for the good of all. Last year it was "business as usual". Last year we were not at war. This year we are at war. Everything is different. It is not profits we can think about. We have got to face the fact that we are on a home front where there is no place for self first, business as usual, and whether or not I'll get my money back. . s This town has a job to do. It is a simple job, but it calls for faith, courage, cooperation and sacri fice, too, perhaps. i This town has something to give. Through no virtue of our own we live in a fair and heavenly land where many eyes are turned longingly for a respite from the unrest, the highpressure and fear of bombs that is the life of the harried millions of our eastern seaboard. Few sea shore resorts will lure the vacation seekers this year. People have to get away from it all for a brief period. Public transportation will serve where pri vate cars are no longer available. But they will come because the two weeks vacation for the work er and a safe refuge for many is a necessity. We must be ready to share our blessings with them when they come. We must be prepared to find places for them to stay, to direct them on pleasure trips in the mountains, we must seek out the strangers and make their stay happy for a brief season. We must dispense hospitality and courtesy on the home front. There is hate and madness and death on the war fronts. riru one of we four motoix oh thf AtAtRicM fhM foktkss m -rue past tew yeARS -we gale of eiecTRic UGHT BULBS HAS MORft THAN POUBLEP itnwfeARty M orapMne we customs map furnish -w iki mfv vDRk ClTV OVER. 500 THFWWH poring eosy FWOPS Tue AvtRAse pocmb -iPoaw ABOUT 1,000 -Hues enwe n reaches the cwsumer Letters to Editor Dear Editor : I was interested in the letter written by "A Citizen" and publish ed in the Press on March 26, about the condition of roads around Cullasaja. I live on the road south of the river, aibout a half mile below Cul lasaja. My shop is in Franklin aind 1 have to go there every day to work. But during the winter months, 1 diad to leave my car at Cullasaja, exjposed to the weather and to any prowlers who might have come along. 1 was lucky not to lose my tires, but I do not wtajit to run that risk another year. Less than two weeks ago, one of my neighbors had to have a doctor. Tdie road was in about its average condition. But even then it was too bad for the doctor to be able to come through, and so 1 had to take my car, which is used to such conditions, arnd carry him over our much-used but badly neglected road. Every winter, for years, I have had this job. There arc times when even my car can not make it, though. What could we do if we needed the doctor then? 1 am hoping that our road offi cials can see our need1 and to something to make our roads fit for travel before next winter. Very truly yours, Lex B. Angel. Cullasaja, N. C. April 6, 1942. We must purge ourselves of the last vestige of the "gimme" spirit. We must give all we have, with out our first thought of "how much money am I going to make this summer?" We must express courage in our words and activities and not give voice' once to the cowardly and unworthy thought, "This will be a mighty poor season because of the tire situation." (Indeed, "because of the tire situ ation!") "We can't pay anything to the chamber of commerce this year, or at least, not as much be cause conditions are different this year." You bet they are! You i tight even "lose" the ten to twenty five dollars tb citizen's committee will suggest ( you "Tmitmte fof the'comfort of strangers coiiu' to us for help in their distraught lives. There are others who are "losing" these days. Let us unite in a spirit of love and willingness to sacrifice in this cooperative effort. Because we live in a land which is heaven. Hell is let loose in so many other places. We are living in safety because others are giving their last drop of blood. Let us not lack in faith, courage or fail in good sports manship. We need a bigger and a better chamber of commerce this year. Let there be no slacker among us to shirk a simple civic duty.

Formerly the students have been paying a flat fee at registration for support of intercollegiate ath letics. Now the student body feels that it would like to use its money to make a definite contribution to the military training program rather than to continue participa tion in competitive football. With the money to be diverted from sports to war, 30 scholar ships of $50 each have been set up which will be awarded to young men enrolling at Cullowhee for naval reserve training. Part of the available funds will be allocated to those entering in I June and part to those entering the college in September. C." F, Dodson, head of the science department of the college, has been appointed by the navy department in Washington as its official rep resentative in organizing the training of naval reserve appren tice seamen. Realizing how important the ath letic program of the college of to day has become to the students and to the alumni, congratulations should be extended the students at the Western Carolina Teachers college for their patriotic response in meeting the present emergency.
