handled as xa separate program.
The Merchants Association, in
my opinion; now needs to empha
size some of the other; J phases of
its workbut it can look forward
to the time when the Cotton Fest

To The Editor
The Clayton, News
Clayton, N. C.
Dear Editor: i
The Cotton Festival here is a
fine thing, but; it is beginning to
look as though it could soon be. (if
it isn't, already) the tail that' wags
the .. dog.
Some people seem to think the
town of Clayton exists only to serve
and promote the Cotton Festival.
And they think the Merchant's
Bureau and other businesses not
members of the bureau are here
solely to promote the Festival. The
Festival was designed to promote
the' town and to promote business
here.
Clayton people like the Festival
and are proud of the work done by
those who have developed it. But
Clayton is also proud of its church
es, its schools, its civic . and social
clubs and its industrial and bus
iness development. The Festival is
just a part of the town. The town
is not just a part of the Festival.
If the Festival can be a part of
the life of the town, if it can pro
mote the town and local business,
if fit can provide good, wholesome
entertainment and not overflow,
not control and not dictate all our
other activities, then let's keep it.
If not; let's keep Clayton.
,f I for one, would rather see Clay
ton grow steadily (if slowly) than
to see it inflated beyond the. safety
point by this Festival. I'm afraid
the Festival idea has given many
i r ec ent indications of being beyond
the control of those who are sup
posed to run it
Sincerely,
(Name withheld by request)
