Dances."' attracted much interest
on tae part of Miss Lynne and Mr. j
Lun>ford. and she said that it was)
one'of the best articles of its kindi
that she had ever read. In addi-j
tion to obtaining information and)
data from Mr. Mull's book, she
was interested in the Sylva square
dance team, with which Mr. Mull
has been connected until last year.
Miss Lynne had been trying to
obtain information about each of
the square dance teams in various
towns in western North Carolina
in order to see the different styles
they - have, although each uses
traditional basic steps. Some
glide or shuffle, Mr. Mull said,
and some use slower tempo and
show the figures more plainly than
others, providing an individual
style for each team.

A Public Relations Job
America's biggest public relations
assignment, perhaps the most sig
nificant of this kind in the history
of the world, is gaining momentum.
It's off to a good start. You may
call it industrial statesmanship, if
you want to. or you may call it sell- |
mg the American way of life. What
it amounts to is an all-out effort on {
the part of each one of us to '
demonstrate the faith we have in 1
our economic system. ^ So;4ying, we 1
shall weather any present or future
crisis.
There must be no tongue-in-cheek
when we assort that never has any
other system given a people so
much; nor has any other system a'
brighter future. We Americans are !
not generally an emotional peopie. ,
We can re;.d history without weep
ing. Europeans think of us as more
"practical" and less idealistic. At :
any rate, we have been so busy that i
we have largely overlooked our sell
ing job, until time is later than we
thought.
Selling Ourselves
An industrialist recently indulged
in a bit of analysis: "The simple fact
that our American-styie processes of
finance, production, distribution and
selling actually produce more for
more people than does.any other set
of processes ever devised by man,
has never been planted deeply in the
minds of our people?at least not to
the extent that it becomes an ever,
present ?nd active part of the pub
lic consciousness."
I am afraid this is too true. If
we had actually sold' ourselves ofi
America through the years, we
would never have seen the phenome
non of certain of our public figures j
playing peek-a-boo with the Commu
nists. There would be genuine
appreciation of the accomplish
ments and potentialities of Amer
ica in every university chair in
the land.
Campaign of Truth
Against so many rampant, fanat
ical destroyers, a clean and con
stant campaign of truth, well or
ganized and supported, can be ef
fective. Against the doubters and
the cynics, this great public rela
tions program must be tied-in with
all-out effort to produce goods for
the American people, through an
economy of abundance. Without
good works, your theory falls flat
Only first understand the system,
if you please, thep it's easier to
make it work.
Too many somehow have decided
that business, in this "capitalistic"
country, is altogether bad. These
folks have not considered, however,
how many cherished things they
would have to give up if they got
rid of "capitalism." Without pri
vate initiative in business and in
dustry, in labor, and in professional
life, we would sink to the level of
some of our critics.
We take a lot of things for grant
ed. Yet we have a Job to do. If we
are businessmen, let us not only sell
the product we make, but let us
?ell the product as a symbol of the
freedom under which it is made. If
we are workmen, let us consider
our Jobs as by-producta of the free
dom under which we live. And no
matter what we are, let uj know
that this sweet land of liberty offers
us a freedom of opport'inity as in
dividuals that we can find nowhert
elsa on this planet. ^

process or development o: new

be conducted during the tour are:
corn and sweet potato driers, pea
nut breeding, strawberry produc
tion, tobacco, cultivation practices,

the college will furnish some of
the latest practices being carried

duction.^ Research work being
carried on with turkeys and poul
try at the College poultry farm
will be observed as the tour con
tinues to this plant. Terracing,
crop rotations, cover crops, and
