YOUR CHILD IS FLIRTING WITH DEATH
WHILE SKATING
Hundreds of accidents every year are caus
ed by children carelessly skating on the streets
Children in Waynesville, as every where, enjoy
this sport, not realizing the dangers that lurk
from every corner. Parents here should not
only warn their children cf this danger but
should see to it that they do not go into the
streets with skates, and especially after dark.
Last week The Mountaineer noticed a little
fellow skating up Main Street after dark, never
lookinir to the rieht nor the left, and if two
careful drivers had not slowed down and almost
come to a standstill there would likely have been
a tragedy in Waynesville that night. It's too
late after deatti comes to warn them. Show!
vour children the danger before it is too late, i

HUNTERS BE CARKU L WHERE YOU AIM
AND WHAT YOlf SHOOT
The hunting season opened in this county
lat week and was welcomed by hundreds of
sportsmen. Hunting is a sport that re'iui res
skill and at the same t ime it is one of the most
dangerous of all pastimes.
This, of all years, hunters should be more cau
tious than ever, because of the inflammable con
dition of the forests. Because of carelessness
on the part of some hunters all hunting rights
have been withdrawn in some sections of the
State until rain falls sufficient to eliminate
forest fire dangers.
Not only is the fire hazard to be -carefully'
avoided but in the way firearms are used. Every
year hundreds of persons are accidentally killed
Not one of these persons thought that he was
careless, whether his death resulted from his
own carelessness or that of a friend. Don't
take it for granted that you are such an ex
pert that nothing can happen, they are the ones
that usually get killed. Just as mother would
say when we, were kids on the way to school
for the first time, "do be more careful."
DOES THANKSGIVING' DAY MEAN JUST
ANOTHER HOLIDAY I'OR YOU
Why do you observe Thanksgiving Day?
This is a question that most people give little
thought. Most' of us observe it because of cus
tom and habit. Kew stop to realize why they
leave their regular routine of living on the last
Thursday of November, to observe and attend
football games. To some it is the day when the
best football games of the season are played.
To others it is a day when the housewife spreads
on the best dinner of the year. Others look
upon it as a day when they are permitted to k
home from school to see relatives and friends.
To tiie orphans it is a day when they feel that
they will be remembered with a little extra
cash in their treasury and probably a truck load
of nice provisions from some overloaded farm.
Most of these are worth looking forward to,
but at that, we have missed the real meaning
of Thanksgiving Day,
The citizens of Haywood County should this
Thanksgiving Day, as never before, give thanks
for the many blessings that have been bestowed
upon them thi.s year. When we stop and real
ize that these blessings can be taken away from
us in the twinkling of the eye, surely we can
appreciate more fully why our forefathers or
iginated the idea of setting apart one day in
the year to show appreciation and offer thanks
to our Keeper and provider of all things.
Nature has showered us this year with the
biggest harvest in years. Our financial mar
kets are in better condition than they have
been in the past four years. Our banks are
safer this year than ht. Our State is in bet
ter financial standing as is our County and City.
Our country is not at war like other nations.
Our business leaders are mere optimistic than
at any time in the last five years. There are
numerous instances of where we are materially
better this year than las,.
If we expect these blessings to continue we
must stop and give thanks to the One that
sends them.
Don't you think it better to look forward to
Thanksgiving as a day of giving thanks rather
than a day of football games, overeating and
gay living? These are not being scorned, but
the giving of thanks would be more profitable
and show a spirit of appreciation.
Attend Church somewhere Thanksgiving Day
and give thanks and the day will mean more to
you.: ;
WELCOME METHODIST PASTORS
Wtiynesville and Haywood County are fortu
nate to have sent to them a number of new
pastors from the Methodist Conference. Ap
proximately fifty percent of the pastors of t hi
district were transferred and at the same time
this district received about twelve.
To those coming to our community to make
this their home we extend to you a most cor
dial welcome and hope that your coming here
will be a blessing to all. In thi.s district you
will find some of the truest and most faithful
church workers in the South. People that love
their church and practice the Christian way of
living.
To the pastors leaving us we wish you every
success and although we will miss you and your
families, the good work that you did while in our
midst, will be long remembered.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

WENT OVER THE TOP
Poth the Methodist and Baptist churches of
Waynesville have recently gone over the top
in dissolving a financial deficit. As the fiscal
year began to draw to a close, the Board of
Stewards of the Methodist church discovered
a deficit of around seventeen hundred dollars.
The brethren began to hustle and when Dr.
Goode got ready to go to Conference he was
handed- a statement showing that the money
had been raised and no deficit existed. The
Baptist also discovered a deficit of $700. In a
few days time it was wiped out, both acts done
to the glory of Cod and the cause of righteous
ness. No one was to blame for either deficit.
It was simply a usual church delinquency.

AN OLD STORY BUT STILL TRUE
While Mark Twain was editor of a Missouri
paper, a subscriber wrote to him saying he had
found a spider in his paper and asking Mark,
whether this was a sign cf good or bad luck.
The following was a reply of the well-known
humorist: 1
i
"Old Subscriber: Finding a spider in your
paper was neither good or bad luck for you. i
The spider was merely looking over our paper
to see which merchant is not advertising sol
that he can go to that store, spin his web across i
the door and load a life of undisturbed peace I
ever afterward." I

letting .valuable trade slip
tuse many .Highlands peopfe
h.ave been in the habit of doing their Christmas; buy
ing elsewhere.. It's up to the merchants to change this
habit. ; A big part of the trade can be kept at home
by judiciously stocking,, decorating the stores, and by
telling Highlands what you liave in the columns of
your newspaper.
We do not say this simply because we wish to sell
m.oie advertising, but because the plan will work here
as successfully as elsewhere. You wiil notice that
most stores do their heaviest advertising preceding
Christmas. People read the papers, and they read the
ids. Stock up decoiate .shoppers like to trade where
there's evidence of holiday spirit. The difference in
the volume of trade may not be decidedly noticable for
a year or two, but the volume can be kept here. Might
as well pull for no trade at all as not to make a bid
for the Christmas buying.
Highlands residents, a word to you: Christmas gifts
may be bought a few cents more cheaply in some other
town, but after the expense the trip is figured, have
you saved anything? The chances are that you have
spent more.-The Highlands Maconian.

The Federation is paying cash for walnuts at all

the woods and gather all they can find. This is a year
when cash is difficult to get hold of, so do not neglect
this opportunity to get cash for walnuts, The Fede
