THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1932 THE TRUTH AND VALUE OF A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER For years and years it has been a known fact that the weekly newspapers of the countrv had more influence and power than any other news medium. This might seem to be a broad statement, and at first glance seems to be un true, when we consider that the large dailies print hundreds of thousands of copies every clay and .k-orne have several editions a day. An editor of the daily group seems to admit, indirectly, this power, when he recent ly warned the weeklv newspapers about crit icising Janan and China. He said, "every county w t'kly, when it has nothing else to say, denounces Japan. Who knows anything about China and Japan and their intimate re lations? Certainly not some cross roads editor smoking a pipe." Well said, thou one time small cross road editor. Surely thou realizes the power of the weekly press and warning giveth by thee is worthy of consideration. What a weekly newspaper has to say is read and reread by every member of the family. Topics printed in the columns are discussed in the home, America's greatest institution. Re gardless of which side of the question the week ly editor takes it always receives more dis cussion from the readers. A few weeks ago an official of one of the largest retail companies in the United States, who spends millions of dollars annually on ad vertising, told the editor of this paper that he had rather have his company spend money for advertising in weekly papers than in any other advertising medium. He went on to say that the life of a daily paper is only a few .hours, as a new issue comes out before rhe last one was thoroughly read, while the life of a weekly newspaper is seven long days. The subscribers of a weekly paper read practically every word in it before it is discarded. The writer made a visit to about thirty rural homes in the county last week, just to find frr st hand what attitude they had for a weekly newspaper. The result shows that the copies were kept from week to week and fre quently references were made to the paper and that the neighbors very often borrowed the paper, even if it were several weeks old. A weekly newspaper fills a need that no other news medium yet known t man could posribly fill. The type of news in a weekly paper is still news when several weeks old. Taking these facts into consideration, Mr. Raleigh Times Editor we heartily agree with you that the weekly ought to be careful what it says, because the readers-have learned to rely on the truth as presented in the columns of a weekly and have found that their weekly paper has a personal interest in their welfare. They regard a weekly as one of the family. They'll swear by a weekly newspaper. THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN NATION AL PARK A MECCA FOR TOURISTS "Economic independence is assured for Western North Carolina bv (the development of reat Smoky Mountain National Park, which will make this region more than evr the va cation land supreme' Horace M. Albright, di rector of National Park Service, told a group of business men in Asheville last week. During the course of his talk, Mr. Albright brought to light some facts that perhaps the average mountain citizen has known, but passed up, taking for granted that the world knew of the wonderful scenery and advantages offered in Western North Carolina. Mr. Albright stressed the point of adver tising the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Most of us take it for granted that since we know about this park that every one else should know about it, but this is a sad mistake. Very few people outside of this im mediate swtion. ever heard of this new devel opment, and all they need to know is what na ture has blessed u.? with and then they will br glad of. the opportunity to come here by the thousands and spend their money. j That leads up to the question of entertain ing them after they arrive. Mr. Albright said, "I hope that Asheville, Waynesville, Bryson City, and other cities about the park willl be attractive ito visitors who desire mere luxurious and comfortable surroundings than the moun tain lodife or camp. It is not only important BIBLE THOUGHT For what is a man profited, if ho shall gain the whole world, and lo.ie his own soul? Or what shall a man wive in exchange for hi- soul? Matt. - 10:20. to get the people to come and enjoy a few days in the Smokies, but it is important for them to stay and enjoy this whole mountain country of Western North Carolina." "Western North Carolina is a vacation land supreme. Its destiny is clearly denned. It en joys the advantage of close proximity to a very large population. The problem is to bring to the attention of the whole nation that we have here in Western North Carolina and Tennessee one of America's greatest recreational areas. We have got to broadcast its natural beauties, its benign climate, and its vacation opportunities." One suggestion that The Mountaineer would like to make at this point is one that every citizen in this Smoky Park area tan do without any cost to any individual, that is, on every letter you write, either business or social make some remark about the wonderful oppor tunities awaiting here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. It would take only a line or two and if every person in Haywood county would say twenty words about the new park during the next six months to some one that did not know of the park, it would be worth in advertising, at the regular commer cial rate, over twenty thousand dollars, to say nothing about what profit we would receive from the tourists after they decided to spend their vacation in the "vacation land supreme" Western North Carolina. Let's get ready now for the multitudes that will arrive later. LETTERS TO EDITOR THE DEPRESSION IS OV ER The best news tht has been printed dur ing the past two years is in the title of this article. Some are saying that we don't know what we are talking about, perhaps we don't, but we have everything in our favor to prove we at least have the figures to back us up. We are not trying to convince the citizens of this country that good times are here, they are not, but we do say that the nation, we be lieve, has gone as far downward as it is going. We are now in a period of reconstruction. This period is of most vital importance and how we emerge from this period depends solely upon our faith in the country and in ourselves. This country is just like Florida was a few years ago after that terrible tropical storm swept across the east coast and destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. A financial storm has just blown over our nation and left in its path turmoil and un rest. We are not satisfied with what was left us; when we should be thankful that we were not deprived of all our earthly possessions. Florida did not build back the hundreds of buildings wrecked by the storm in a day, a month, or a year. They were built back, but not one was completed by those that wore long faces and lacked faith. Some were so dis couraged that they would not even help those that had courage and faith, and we all know, that type of person can do plenty of harm just by mingling with people with faith. If noth ing else, they get in the way and hinder the work. Just as Florida was for a few weeks, in ruin, so are we now in financial ruin, but are We satisfied to stay in this predicament. No! Not one loyal citizen would be willing for Hay Wood county to be littered with ruin and derbis and not be willing to help clean up; The government has just appropriated two billion dollars to be used to the best advan tages in aiding in this "reconstruction period." Of fniirQP thprp is finite bit of arcrnmpnr for and against the appropriation, and whether it was a wise thing, we cannot say, but we do believe (that it would give us more faith and courage to face the next few months with a determination to forget "hard times" and work for the goal of "normal times." Perhaps you farmers are saying, what does that fool know about our problems, and the business men the same. We grant you that there are many problems that you have that we know little of, but we do know this, that no matter how many problems you have and how discouraged you may be we can all determine to talk less of the depression that has already passed "out to sea." AND AGAIN IT PAID Another proof that advertising pays was clearly demonstrated here Saturday afternoon when a crowd of at least 600 people gathered it Massic's Department Store for the climax of a sale put on by Hugh Mass:e, owner of the store. The crowd practically blocked Main street, the cars were only able to pass one at a time for about an hour. The store was so crowded that it was al most impossible to wait on the customers. Mr. Massie put on his advertising campaign of the sale through the pages of The Moun taineerand did it pay? the extra dollars taken in shows that it was a splendid investment. Well, if Al runs aeain we'll discover whether re lijrious prejudice: is sti'Drirer than 6-cent cotton. iCongressman really are representatives people. They don't know what to do, either. f the - Love- is the quality that makes you forget that a prune tree can't produce a peach. The week point in the theory that wickedness caused the depression is the continued prosperity of the wicked. Depositors are people who fret scared and break bank and then cuss it for breaking. To the Editor: Mr. Hosace Sentella said in his let ter last week that I was a little un fair to certain corporations that he 1 ! .noJo aA- vances to :he county government to: Lelp in a pinch. He missed the point, j It is not that somebody is unfair toj the corporations I am not but whether or not the next State Legis lature is going to bv fair to the small property owner. Kvidently Mr. Sentelie does not mean that some of the corporations have been making advances of money to run the county government as his language might imply. He probably means that the corporation:; have been able to pay their taxes in time to get the advantage of the discount, which could not be construed as mak ing advances. But let us rrot forget what the main point is, not that somebody is going j to be unfair to the corporations, but j whether our lawmakers are going toj be abie to make laws that will remedy j sell for taxes many of the homes and Ismail farms in Haywood County. I Corporations are great institutions. We could not well get along without 'them. I wish we had more of them j in this county. But the home and the farm are the greatest institutions that a:e taxed.

Another more compre hensive questionaire survey made by the office of milk investigations ot the. United States Public Health I Service reported 44 milk-borne dis-' ea.w outnreaKR occurring during lU4. In one Texas city three milk-borne disease outbreaks occurred within a period of two years. The most common milk-borne diseases are typhoid, par atyphoid fever, tuberculosis, scarlet fever, diphtheria, septic sore throat, and dysentery. Besides the more prevelent diseases mentionel above, it has been found that milk may also be the medium of transmission of various other diseases, such as foot and mouth diseases, anthrax, niatta fever, cowpox, and certain gastro intestinal disorders found chiefly among infants and young children. According to some authorities, the most dangerous of the milk-borne di;;ea?es is tuberculosis, due to the frequently with which it occurs an! its serious, nature. Tuberculosis transmitted through the agency 01 milk may lie of either bovine or hu man origin. Since tuberculosis of cows usually effects their salivary glands or 3ome part of the alimentary tract, the fecoa of infected cows fre quently contain tubercle baei'li Henri, bovine tuberculoais is usually I '.ransmitted to persons through ma-j nurc entering- the milk.
