THURSDAY, JULY 33, 1221 IWZZ TWO Tim rnAiiizLii! rinS3 &luv JffnutJdht Tfrtxss Published ivory Thursday by The Franklin Press Al Franklin, North Carolina Telephone No. 24 VOL. XLVI Number 32l P.I.ACKIU'KN W. JOHNSON .EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Entered at. the Post Office, Franklin, N. C, as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year ' $150 Eight Months '. $1-00 Six Months .75 Sin tit.- Gipv ' . .-05 Obiluary notices, cards of thanks, tributes of respect, by individuals, lodges, churches, organizations or societies, will be regarded as adver- ti.-iii;' and inserted at regular classified advertising rales. Such notices will be niaiked "adv." in compliance with the postal' regulations. The Pros invite itt readers to express their opinion through its columns and each week it plans to carry Letters to the Editor on its editorial page. This newspaper is independent in its policies and is glad to print both sides of any question. Letters to the Edi tor should be written legibly on ' only one side of the paper and should be of reasonable length. Of course, the editor reserves the iic;!it to reject letters which are too long or violate one's better sensibilities. We Beg Pardon, But 'AST week The Franklin that tlie meetings of the conducted" in a "haphazard manner." In support of 'this 'statement it slated that the usual rules of parlia mentary procedure were not observed and that the minutes of the meetings "did not record all of the matters of public interest. considered and disposed of Unfortunately, The Press question as an illustration, graded milk regulations had been formally brought to the attention of the commission in open session and that the. minutes showed no record of this. This statement was denied by C. T. Bfyson, Reir ister of Deeds, whose duty it is to keep the minutes of the County Commission. On inquiry The Press found that it had been misinformed, that the question of graded milk had Hot been formally presented at a meeting 'of. the board,'. but had only been brought to the attention of the chairman, W. D. Barnard. Mr. Barnard, it was learned, -was asked to bring the county commissioners together at a joint meeting with the to.wn councils 'of Highlands and Franklin to discuss the advisability of providing for dairy inspec tion and milk grading. This, The Press learned, Mr. Barnard declined .-to do, on the basis the county larked the necessary funds and, therefore, such a meeting would be useless. The matter was not form ally broached at a meeting of the commission. The Press is glad to make this correction and ex planation. But the example in which it' erred was only an instance. Mr. Bryson works hard to do his job well; it is surprising that his records of the commission's meet ings are as accurate as they arc in view of the "hap hazard manner" in which they are conducted.' Cer tainly, these meetHigs.are most confusing to a casual observer. They should be easily followed by anyone of normal intelligence who cares to sit in and see what is going on, and that is the privilege of anyone in the county. . This newspaper wishes to reiterate its statement of last week that it "wishes to cast no reflection on . the sincerity and good intentions of the present of ficials, of -Macon county, but it has become very evi dent thai the business of the county has not" been transacted in as orderly a 'fashion as "would the busi ness f)f a private corporation of sin'iilar proportions." Editorial ADVERTISING AND PRICES Vast sums spent by large manu facturers and merchants fur adver tising are responsible for a popular superstition to me etlect that ad vertised goods arc' higher in ''price than .they- would f t-hey' were not advertised. The word "super stition" is iised adiedly, because it has been' demonstrated many times that advertising lowers, in stead of raises, prices. .. ; Advertising campaigns are costly ,and the consumer must pay for them, but they are paid for by . new business the advertising at tracts. There is nothincr naradoxr ical in a situation where a maiui- fnrtlirT fir m.i-'li'nit ..l.lc ..n .v ,.' tensive advertising -appropriation, to "-."' v .....in (i . i i .i ail I.A ... his budget and then turns around 4 and cuts prices. lUiiiiuu-uoiiar ariverusing pro grams make it possible for the manufacturer to lower his pricas by so increasing his production that he can effect real economies through rtiass production and can spread his profit over a greater number of sales. Advertising enlarges demand and thereby makes it possible for the retailer to buy stocks in larger quantities at lower cost. Moreover, goods well advertised arc more than half sold before thc customer enters the store, which lowers sales resistance and sales costs. V The price tags on advertised commodities are, in themselves, proof that business can save money for its customers by spending mil lions for advertising. LEADER, EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN. i Press observed editorially Countv Commission were cited the Grade A milk stating that a proposal for Clippings SPIRITUALLY BEAUTIFUL I lav c you ever known an old lady who was spiritually beautiful? Lould you remember what her features were like? Or did you think of her as sort of a beautiful flower of God's handiwork, send ing forth love and , kindness and compassion for all; and every one loving her in turn ? This same old lady probably had no money to speak of, though she had thousands of friends and was continually happy. . You probably knew another old lady wild had all kinds of money and everything - that- inoney could buy to make a person happy, yet she was not happy in the least No one was glad to see her, be cause no one became happy be cause of her. You may not exact ly remember her features, but you will never forget her sharp tongue and how happy you were to get away from her. When Jesus gave his sermon on thc Mount he answered the ques tion of how to be happy. Many of them would not be lieve, when he explained to that multitude of people who had come great distances to learn the secret of true happiness, that they were all wrong in the common assump tion, that .the'' acquisition of material things alone brings happiness.. The thought He gave to them was, according to Matthew, who tells the story, that you are made happy by what you are, not by what you get. The key to a bless ed life lies in your heart. It is being merciful and pure in heart. Seme And Nonsense By CARL GOERCH I've never been able to get a suit in which the pants and vest would ... r J l i.

Thanks we say, to those citizens who have faith in the future. These are the folks who keep things moving. Faith is a wonderful vir- iiv.ciiitiini.iaiivtjiii.wuuKiiiavci i . . , : m:::Ti, 111 in. tiiiu uvjjiuiv ii r Vlt I i.d tion which those who have lived in 1931 to witness ould h d . ..,i .i . i ,C?W n iavcc rP ped completely into collapse. Some- time, and possibly it is not many months away, there will be a re turn to normal condition; factories will be running full time once more, money will find its way back into the channels of commerce and trade and the dinner nail which has in some sections been emotv so long will once more be filled. Even with the hardships which many have undergone, it is doubt- ful if there are. any who would like to see the order of thinus turned back thirty or more years and a new start made from a point that far back in the past. There has been talk, and lots of it re- centiy, of burdensome taxes, of ex- travagance in government and lack of confidence in the business world. Yet no one would want to see con- ditions as thev were thirty years ago. Let your memory run back over thc period of the usherim? in of the 90's. How many automo- biles were there in this countv? How many miles of imoroved hitrh- ways? How many homes had a ranio or ooastea ot an electric refrigerator? How minv home- wives used vacuum cleaners or pre- pared meals by electricity or gas? While there are those who talk of the return of the good old days and times, how many people living todflv and whn hnv rvnorinrit the pleasures of modem inventions! would want to forget about those conveniences as though they never existed, and return to the methods of the so called good old days? Few, if any, we venture, would agree to such a thing. Let us rely on that faith that has builded the greatest nation in the world to bring us out of the present chaotic conditions and a return to better times as well as good times.
