THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1926 THE FRANKLIN PRESS PAGE THREE L E T T E RS HIGHLANDS FOLK PLEASED Editor, Th-e Press : In behalf of those of us from High lands who attended the A. F. A. cele bration on the 15th, inst., I wish to thank the city of Franklin, and the committee on arrangements in par ticular, for the splendid, entertainment given us on that happy occasion. Your city's hospitality began at the State line fourteen jsiles away, and every moment after that until we left, was one of pleasure. I only wish that all of Macon, county could have heard the speakers extoll the merits of the grard old State. Everyone who was forunate enough to hear them must be more proud than ever of North Carolina. As for the people of Franklin, they -can give the stranger in their town the gladdest handshake of any moun tain town in our State.' We of Highlands hope to be allowed to do the honors when we celebrate the completion of No. 28,' and here is hoping that the curving, undulat ing ribbon of concrete, which will connect our two towns, will soon have its borders adorned with summer homes from our Cullasaja to your Little Tennessee.

'.Sep tember 19, and seeing the flag flying in the breeze, the row of tents pitched army fashion, and the hum and bustle of camp hfe up ' there on the moun tain might easily have been led to be lieve that Uncle Sam had suddenly decided to make the bootleggers pay their income tax and had sent his army to collect it. ' , But this was not the case; Uncle Sam's Forest Officers were getting to gether .for the purpose of cussing and discussing some of the many prob lems that have to be met and solved by the Forest Service. The great problem being FIRE. Most of the time at the meeting was given over to the discussion of how to meet this enemy to best advan tage, how to prevent it, and how to suppress it if it once gets started. It was unanimously decided that the best way to fight a fire is to keep it from getting started. This cannot be done without the 'whole-hearted cooperation of all he' people of the country, so it was decided to lay greater stress on the work of : acquainting the public with the need of fire prevention than has ever been don before. With ' the knowledge that a few fires will occur in spite of the best preventative measures, the. question of better preparedness was fully gone into, followed by the best thought in the actual work of fighting fires. - Th6se attending the meeting were : H. O. Stabler, assistant district for ester; M. A. Mattoon, supervisor of Pisgah National Forest; Albert Huff man,- forest guard on the Pisgah for est; and 24 officers of the Nantahala National Forest. ' The meeting lasted three days and it is believed that much good will re sult These meetings are to be held an nually hereafter. County Methodism .Rally Next Sunday A rally for Macon county Meth odism is announced for 3 o'clock next Sunday afternoon at the Iotla Meth odist church. It is hoped that every Methodist church in the county will have one or more representatives present Rev. P. W, Tucker, of Wayncville, presiding elder in this district, will ad dress the meeting: The rally is being held just at this time as a preliminary to the annual conference at Gastonia two weeks from next Sunday. . llirtliirtliii rll iiiiiiwm ii fin i m iilitir . lEe "MaIceUp" Of your Printing can either reflect credit to your business or make it "look cheap.11 A hodge-podge of type and cuts slapped together without thought of effect upon a reader, is anything but inducive to good results.
