THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER, CO-OPERATION WAYNESVILLE'S CITIZENSHIP AMALGAMATED. (By Buel B. Hyatt.) Deciding i half the battle; staying decided is the other half. There is a dividing line between success and failure. Physics t cache.-, that energy is the capacity of bodies to do work. There is a theory that the sun is the source of earth energy. Therefore, the supply of energy remains ever constant. Particles of life nave motion; and, by co-operation we mean the creed that life may btst be ordered not by the competition of individuals, where each seeks the interest of himself, but by the striving of every individual for the good of tiie social body of which he or they form a p.ii t. "Kach for all, and all for each." Every man, wo man and child has a line right to be very enthusiastic about Waynesville. Few towns of this size have the municipal facil ities that we now have. Every tourist is appreciative of this play ground that Nature has prepared on the Eastern slopes. And, the present development of our town represents action ol co-operative bodies. The future materialization of our municipal ideals will be the aggregate of energy, plus money, that every jivic organization exerts in accomplishing practical plans for a better and greater municipality. The road is open, the connect ing links between the past and future are welded. The highways of success are the concrete facts of today's co-operative efforts. The present finds us grappling with problems that cannot be pigeon-holed. This is no time to side-step issues that have such bearing on Wayncsville's future. Every tourist that enters our midst is weighing our liabilities and assets. On the comparative scales of existing situations in Western Carolina, we feel that our tonnage is at n par with any other section. However, we want others to become interested in our efforts to advance to a position second to none. That Coif Course! Eh? What about the weather? If its always June in Miami, you can lay your last dime its eternal par adise in the Land of the Sky. Only a few more subscriptions are needed to secure the course and club. Will you be a voluntary co-operator; or, will you be an inv'oluntary factor? Don't wait for a representative of this project to run you down. Get a con tract, sign up now and become a member of the Haywood Country Club. After this program is complete, let's see about getting in n the highway system. Why not have a little publicity from the Asheville-(Waynesville)-Atlanta-Franklin Highway? It seems rather queer to leave the impression that we are on a de tour. After we get several local problems solved . . . cross the Rubicon! the irrevocable steps must be taken that will give us a modern commercial hotel. Impossibility is an old fashioned word, with a definition but not a meaning. In this land of opportunity, with unparalelled natural resources distributed throughout West ern Carolina . . . who doubts, for a moment, that Waynesville citizenship will eventually become the cosmopolitan of the Hill Country, through an association of travelers, industrial, commer cial and professional beings, whose one great hobby is co-operative Waynesville. The citizenship of this community is moving into a steady stride for progress, activity and prosperity. Tourist from all sections of the country are commenting on the vast possibilities if our town and the surrounding country. In developing our re sources, we have hitched our cart to the stars; but, we have not put the cart before the horse. In agriculture, horticulture, mining, manufacture, industry and finance, and taking care of the tourist, we are highly successful. Still, there are a few things we want here; and, we would like to have them in the near future. Co-operation will secure them. A modern commercial hotel; a modern tourist hotel; an eighteen hole golf course and country club; a large and sanitary swimming pool; a play ground for children; a year round secretary of Chamber of Commerce ad vertising the advantages of our community in all the leading Southern cities at the psychological moment; a brick factory man ufacturing the several stocks of brick and concrete blocks; a city market where food products are methodically handled for the con sumer; and, more willingness, on the part of those financially able, to assist in all matters toward the realization of the Twen tieth Century demands of a modern people. This is no time for a "let up." Waynesville is growing along constructive lines. Truth is always substantial. We stand four square and tell the world we have the most beautiful little citv in Eastern America. We 'challenge any mountain town to compare their natural ac'van-. 'tages, the year round with those we have. Waynesville is the' Gem of the Appalachians; and, as the outside world acquires a knowledge of this vicinity, our development and prosperity will continue phenominally. j. laboring man if he can buy butter, eggs or sugar for a few cents less each month, if unrestricted foreign job? The sooner we all learn that we have an interest in each other's problems, the sooner will industrial competition causes him to lote his land agricultural stability be assured. GREAT INSURANCE REQUIRED. SERVICE j In an interview in the San Fran cisco Examiner, W. E. Mallalieu, General Manager of the National Board of Fire Underwriter a , gave a In ief sketch of some of the problems which the insurance business must meet in serving the public. He said: "Not so many years ago the aver age person merely thought of insu rance as apply to fire and life losses. The insurance business today, how ever, is much wider in scope than that. It stands as the credit backing of practically every business trans action. Insurance companies have to meet the demands of a more com plicated social stucture in a hundred different ways. Where fire insurance used to be the principal source of rev enue of many companies, today it is merely one phase of" insurance pro tection which these same companies must offer. "I will not attempt to enumerate the many different kinds of coverage which must be given to property own ers, builders, contractors, manufact urers, and business of every descrip tion, but as a simple illustration I will mention the automobile. "Twenty years ago, an owner took fire insurance; today, to have any of satisfactory protection, he must take, in addition to fire insurance, theft insurance, collision insurance, property damage insurance, which his automobile may inflict on the other fellow's car or property; and public liability insurance to protect him in case he injures an individual. In other words, here are five kinds of insurance on one line of business which has developed in the last twen ty years. "It has been necessary to furnish as many more kinds of insurance to innumerable individual industries and business, as to automobiles. Today, insurance companies are wrestling with the problem of protection in the field of aeronautics. No one knows what the risk will be, but we all be lieve that in the next ten years pas sengers and even freight, will l.e moving across the country by nir- t-t .... t j- jl piune or airsmp. immeuiaieiy, ire insurance companies will be asked to cover the risk, and they will meei the situation as they have met the 'demand for their service in every I change and expansion of business. "From this brief outline, it will be jseen that insurance protection vir tually stands as the basis of credit in all commercial transactions. It Is a self-evident fact that such rapidly changing conditions as we experi ence in this nation, must of necessity complicate the rate-making problems of the insurance business. "An average of rates which was practical for all purposes ten years ago, may today be too high, too low, or completely out of date for fie property involved. Insurance must3 rely on the law of averages in ar riving at rate schedules, but the av erage of accidents and fires is sub ject to change." OUR INTEREST IN "THE OTHER FELLOW." (( fj JLgsa V OUR.

MILLER BROTHERS No one man ever made a baiball team, and no one man ever carried j on a successful business by himself. j City carpenters and plumbers may think they have little interest in the farmer. The man handling freight on a city delivery truck or the time keeper paying off a bunch of steve dores on a seaport dock, may say: "What do we care about the farmer's problems ? " But the majority of carpenters secure employment from individuals I or corporations, who, in turn, are de- ' pendent for the business they do, I upon the sale or manufacture of pro ducts derived from some farm crop. A large part of the business of the city drayman and the waterfront stevedore, will be handling farm crops, either in their fresh stats, canned, or in the shape of sugar, flour, cured meats, etc. Th man whj says he is not interested in agricul tuic, lacks good sense. Lack of taric protection on crops where it is necessary, simply cuts off the the jobs of thousands of workmen in other lines of industry besides farming.
