Miss Velma Matthews, of High
Point, visited Miss Jessie Brooks on
Tuesday. Dr. Matthews, the new

his sister. Well, why not? But also
why “sister” only?
So it is not a bad idea at all to court
the visits of the auto tourists, to in
vite them this way, and to give them
to understand and make them feel
that they are welcome during their
stay here.
This is something every man, wo
man and child can do without sacri
ficing anything more than a little
time. And considering the big re
turns from being courteous to strang
ers we have every reason to believe
every last one of our people will take
it upon themselves individually to do
so.
HONORING OUR DEAD
ONE WAY TO BOOST
The season of auto touring is here,
and with a general reduction in the
price of cars and gasoline at the low
est figure it has been for many months
there’s every reason to believe that
this section will be visited by more
motorists this summer than at any
time in its history.
With this in mind we want to call
the attention of all Vass citizens to
the advisability of showing these
strangers every possible courtesy,
not only because they are, as a gener
al rule, entitled to it and expect it
just as we do when we go away from
home and among strangers, but be
cause it is one of the very best things
we can possibly do to advertise our
town and community and place our
advantages in a still better light be
fore the residents of other states. Al
most every stranger coming through
forms an opinion of the town and its
people by the manner in which ques
tions are answered and information
given. They remember it, and as
they pass along they speak a good
word for us and the community in
which we live Then, too, almost all
of them are in need of accessories or
repairs, of food or refreshments, and
our trades-people profit by their visits.
Our attention has been called sever
al times recently by Vass people who
have occasion to get out over the
county to the fact that a few of our
rural burying grounds could be im
proved in appearance if a little at
tention was given to cutting weeds
and fixing fences. It is a debt each
community owes those who have gone
on ahead, and nowhere is carelessness
less excusable than in cemeteries
that are permitted to become overrun
with weeds and briars. If those who
have relatives or friends buried in
one of these graveyards would set
aside a day each month, and all hands
join in weed-cutting and fence-fixing,
these little “cities of the dead” could
be kept in excellent condition through
out the entire year. If once a month
is too often, then try it once every
two months. At any rate, don’t neg
lect it altogether. Remember that
it doesn’t either look well or speak
well for any community that neglects
to take care of the graves of its de
parted.

We don’t want to “knock” any
body’s business. We like to see the
doctor and the undertaker prosper
just the same as anybody else. But
we can’t help feeling that this is a
mighty good time to warn citizens of
Vass to dodge both of them by watch
ing the diet and guarding agaist the
violent rays of Old Sol. The human
system is easily disarranged during
the hot months, and when it is out of
order it doesn’t take much heat to
bring on sickness. We are more apt
to get hold of contaminated water in
warm months than during the winter,
too. And even one case of typhoid
can cause an epidemic. Care should
be taken at all times to guard against
poor sanitation, but especially should
we be careful at this season of the
year. The best way to safeguard
health is to keep both the body and
the community clean. Let’s take no
chance on an epidemic in this section,
and let’s be sure, if we do run into
one, that it was not due to careless
ness.
