The mass meeting called by the park' committee waa a complete fail ure from a, park sentimental stand" point. " .' The meeting was called for Wednes day at 2 o'clock in the Waynesville court house arid the park committee invited those- who were not in favor of the park and proponents of a Na tional Forest to attend the meeting and it was stated that they would be given an opportunity to state their views. '.'-- Mr. T. L, Gwyn was achsduled to act as chairman of the meeting, but failed to put in an appearance. Mr. Bonner Ray, prominent young business man and president of the Wayneaville Chamber of Commerce, presided and endeavored to keep the, opposition from presenting their views even though they had been challenged to attend. Mr. Ray had a hard job, but presided very grace fully. Following is the call for the mass meeting: NATIONAL PARK MEETING. A meeting of all people who are in terested in getting information in regard to the proposed National Park are requested to meet at tha court house on Wednesday, Jan. 27th, at 2:00 P. M. At this mass meeting speakers will persent the views of the proponents of tha park side of this question and an opportunity will be given those opposing the park to give their views. We feel that our people should get first hand information on ihis ques tion and act, as other counties are very much interested in it and are looking to see what Haywood will do, since we are at the gateway to the proposed parte. , ... PARK COMMITTEE. Mr. Plato Ebbs of Asheville made his usual plea for the Great Smoky Mountain Park and his sincerity and earnest desire to carry the park idea out created considerable sympathy and consideration for the speaker. After Mr. Ebbs had talked for sixty-seven minutes, Mr. Ray invited those who were in favor of the park to remain. At this point Mr. J. M. Mock, one of the park committee, asked fo an expression of opinion upon the part of those present. Out of over one hundred and fifty people present, about eighteen hands were raised in favor of the park. It was then pointed out that this was an open meeting and Mr. Dan though of Canton made a logical talk on the superior advantages of a Na tion Forest, Mayor D. J. Kerr of Canton next made a most humorous and sensible plea for the preserva tion of manufacturing industries and declared that the backbone of civi lization was the man who labored and made his livinging by hard work. Mr. Prevost of the Unagusta Man ufacturing Company of Hazelwood made a most sensible address on the superior benefits of full time pay rolls over that of a few weeks tour ist business. His address was ono of the best made. Hon J. Bat Smathers, represent ing the Suncrest Lumber Company, made a most eloquent speech on the inconsistency of raising funds to bring a manufacturing industry to Waynesvillo and then trying to raise money for a proposition detrimental to their interests. He also stirred his audience by referring to the balloon knickers and the tin lizzy comparing same with that of the man moulded from the farm land and the laborers. Mr. Ray requested that a resolution presented by Mayor Kerr against sub scribing to the park at this time be withdrawn. Althouga-those not in favor of the ia National Park and while the Ashe National Park,were decidedly hv the vUle citizens have been invited to majority, the resolution was with- Waynesvillo many times to put ovci drawn as a matter of etiquette and tne park project, this was the first hospitality to the Asheville visitors, j opportunity given to Haywood coun- There has been, two oer park,ty people (those most concerned) to meeting held in Waynes ville.

CARD OF THANKS. Wejwish to thank our many frijl.ds for the kindness shown us during thq illness and death of our. father, W, M. Tate. THE TATE FAMILY. At Wednesday's meeting the local newspaper received some citicism on account of its attitude in favor of a National Forest, but it was pointed out by a representative of the Moun taineer that this paper had given one hundred and eighty inches of free space to the park adherents and had charged the manufacturers even though our editorial opinion is de-. cidedly against the proposed park and for the manufacturers and laboring man. The mass meeting demonstrated that the majority of the Haywood j people are certainly not in favor of sman cjc or blood clan can determine the - attitude or destiny of a great people. This was proven at the Great Smokey Mountain National Park mass meeting last Wednesday afternoon. The Women's Club Of unusual interest waa the first meeting of the Woman's Club, for 1926 which was held with Mrs. C. F, Kirkpatrick. . , In the absence of the president, Mrs. E. S.

The Jefferson Memorial Fund was heartily endorsed and a motion was carried to have a siwer tea at the home of Mrs. C. S. Smathera in be half of it. The secrela'y read a most inter esting and inspiring 'otter from Mr. J. B. Ivey in behalf of the Dahlia Show. This letter was published last week and we hope that all our readers read it. Mrs. Clarence Miller, Jr. read a note of thanks from Oteen for thu Christmas stockings that the club sent. In response to Mrs. Miller's plea concerning the memorial treea in the court house yard the club voted to have thom protected and sign.i posted indicating that they are me- morial trees. The club also voted to collect all the benches belonging to the club and put them indoors so that they may be protected during tha winter months. Mrs. Theodore McCCracken report ed that the Christmas Seals sold amounted to $26.60. The Woman's Club won the $2.50 prize for selling the most seals.

Re forestration is the proper solution for our dwindling timber supply. But it is more easily preached than prac ticed, due to heavy taxes which con sume all possible profits, long before the trees are marketable. California is to vote at the next election on a constitutional amend ment designed to relievo replanted timberlands from taxation until the !res are merchantab'e. This ? a pr-jgreesive move, and should be tol lo.vijd hy other statss. Mrs. W. H. Liner, who has been ill for the past several weeks, is rapidly I recovering. Death of W. M. T 3 Mr. W. M.

I Red Cross, spent Thursday here in regard to re-organizing ihr local chapter of the Red Cross. The chapter plans to hve a mil cnil at an early date, after a canvass is made for new members. The animal roll call which is scheduled to wnm some time between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving, was never booked this year. Miss Kemper states that un less our chapter adds fifteen new members to our roll each year wa will have to forfeit our charter, which would be unforgivable for such a thriving community. So far we have been negligent in adding new members to such a deserving cause, but; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week we will have a chance to redeem ourselves. Dr. Alexander, chairman of thu local chapter, has agreed to have n i booth in his drug store in order ta solicit new members. There will ba a committee from each of the church es here in charge for Monday. Don't fail to let your name be on the Red Cross roll. INFLUENZA. Last week we said that the "con mon cold" was caused by an infec tion. Following this it is logical to discuss Influenza which in many ways is hard to differentiate in its mild form from a severe cold. Tho bacterium which causes Influ enza (the French word is La Grippe) was first isolated in 1892. It is a very small rod, shaped bug and can only be seen by a powerful micro scope after being properly stained. The onset of Influenza is marked by chilliness, flushes of heat and cold, sneezing, nasal discharges, intenso headache in the forehead and bach of the head, often severe muscular pains, cold perspiration, cough with expectoration of a whittish tenacious mucous, chest pains and a tempera ture from 101 to 103. Sometimes tho symptoms are mostly those of a se vere stomach disturbance, with nau seaa, vomiting and perhaps diarrhea. The fever remains usually for threo or four days then gradually but rath-pi- ranidlv subsides. In many cases the cough continues for an indefinitrt j tablishment of a school library and time and catarrhal penumonia is a ' placing a set of supplementary read common sequel. Influenza is dan- j ers in each room. These books will gerous because of the serious cqmp'ii- cost about $200.00. cations which are so likMy to occur. Tho finance committee, Mrs. J. M.

New England Against Park The National Forests Fulfill the Needs and Desires of the Public. It is now proposed that should havo National Parks, as well as National Forests in our White Mountains. Thq sentiment of New England is not in favor of a park in the White Moun tains. After fourteen years of adi ministration by the Forest Service; we find it abundantly satisfactory. It protects all our roadsides through the National Forests. It protects tho timber along all our trails, of which we have more than a thousand miles in the White Mountains. Through an understanding with officers of thu Forest Service before the Weeks Law was passed, six areas are reserved as natural history museums and sconiu beauty spots, without any cuttini! whatever, and there are large areas on our high slopes that have been set aside forever to be uncut in ordeo that the purpose of the Weeks Law may be carried out and the stream flow in our mountains may be con trolled. This is quite sufficient to maintain the balance of Nature, and for the rest, we believe that our nat ural resources should not be set asiilo in a National Park where they cannot . e utilized. Our smaller mills and Victories are thriving in th neigh Nunood of the National Forests. They ate now able to secure material which formerly they could not gut from tho great lumber companies. This wo regard in New Hampshire as of tho greatest possible importance. Under a park management the natural re sources would be entirely locked un and unused forever. The area would become a matter of expense instead of revenue to the Government and tu the state. The White Mountain Fori est is now more than self-supporting, and yields a small revenue to the Government, and to the towns in lhi State in lieu of taxes. Our area im probably the most intensively nse,! for recreation of any similar area in this country. Sentiment with us ia unanimously in favor of the forest management.

Ayres, Forester Society for Protection of New Hampshire Forests' at the Southern Forestry Congress and meeting of American Foresty Association, Richmond, Va., January 6th and 7th, 1920.
