Every day hundreds of people stop by to see the many minerals from Haywood county, that are on display at this office The collection includes iron, silver, copper, gold, kaolin, feldspar and several others. We will welcome anything that you might have to add to this collection. We are not asking that you give it to us, but let it be on display for the people to see just what we have here in our county. There are thous ands of dollars worth of minerals in the hills and we should create an interest in minerals and eventually these valuables will be mined and benefit us all. There is hardly an hour that passes that two or three trucks loaded with acid wood do not pass down Main street here going to Canton to sell their load to the Champion Fibre Com pany. During the "between season," such as farmers have, the thrifty farmers have taken the advantage of hauling this wood and receiv ing a nice check, which at this time helps to make living among the, farmers like normal times. Haywood County is indeed fortunate to have within her bounds a concern that is in a position to buy raw products direct from the home farmer. The farmer ithat is selling his wood to a Haywood County concern would also do well to spend his money with Haywood County business houses. When the new bench mark is permanently located at the front door of the new court house it will give Waynesville an altitude of approxi mately 2730 feet. The present cne at the post office reads 2738. It might be interesting to know that Main street is about. 8 feet higher at the post offide than in front of the new court house. . GRASPING A SITUATION AND MAKING GOOD ' There appeared in The Mountaineer week before last an article on the front page that deserves some thought from every citizen of Haywood County, and not just a passing glancte. That was none other than the Allen's Creek Garden Club project that was sponsored and made successful through the efforts of the teachers in the school at Allen's Creek and the county agent together with the teacher of vo cational agriculture in the Waynesville Town ship schools. The citizens of that community are to be congratulated on the way they took over a situa tion and in the manner in which it was handled They have-set an example for the county that is worthy of being heeded. They took bare land and from that they have raised crops and flowers that would be creditable to any farmer of years experience. The people of Allen's Creek had devoted their time to other ways of making a living in stead of farming, and when their work Was suspended they adapted themselves to a new way of living. This is one example of when it was a bles sing to Haywood county that they had a county farm agent arid school teachers that were able to grasp the situation and with the cooperation of the citizens of the community map out a definite program that resulted in food enough to last a year for a community that otherwise might have been a victim of economic condi tions. . The good that has been accomplished at Allen's Creek has shown that cooperation among the county officials and citizens of a community is profitable for all concerned. Those organiz ing and working with the people of the com munity included Jas. L. Robinson, county agent, W. D. Smith, teacher of vocational agriculture, Mrs. Frank Ferguson, principal of the school there, and her .teachers. THINK IT OVER The public is now being regaled with the news that $10,000,000 will have to be raised to conduct the Hoover-Roosevelt battle for the presidency. In 1928 the two parties spent a total of $16,500,000. When the politicians of both parties are telling how much money it will take to care for the needy people this winter, it looks like an economic crime to raise $10,000,000 to be spent by jthe two parties largely in blackguard ing opposing candidates. Let both parties, if they are sincere in their advertised desires to help the needs, do-' nate their millions of campaign funds for re lief work this winter. And let the people vote in a normal manner for their political choice, free from the highpressure influence of a $10, 000,000 slush fund. Industrial News. $309,000 ALLOTTED FOR THE PARK The few citizens that have continually thrown cold water on the Great Smoky Moun tains National Park ever becoming a reality, have been somewhat taken down since the an nouncement last week that $509,000 had been allotted for improving the park from the em ergency relief bill just passed by Congress. Of this amount $109,000 will be used in making surveys and mapping out the proposed routes into the park, the remainder of the al lottment, $400,000 will be used for construc tion. Work is to begin immediately in making these surveys and actual construction is to get under way about the first of the year, accord ing to officials in charge. This means that the spending of this amount of money in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee will have a two-fold meaning. ' First, it will develop here at our doorway that which we have been longing to see de veloped for years, a national park. The develop ment of this park, as we all know, means thousands upon thousands of tourists coming to this area every year, and leaving behind them many thousands of dollars. Second, the expenditure of this money will give work to hundreds that are now seeking work of any type. From these two facts you can easily see where we are going to reap two harvests from the same crop. This section is destined to become the playground for Eastern America, but if we are to get a profit from the players, we must join the working class and not those that will come here to play. 7. 41 THE QUILT SHOW A SUCCESS While looking at the many beautiful quilts on display at the quilt show last week a thought came to us of the many happy hours that were spent by the women many years ago while they were making the quilts that they never dream ed would be placed on display by proud descen dants a score of years later. Can you think of anything nicer than to be able to listen in on one of the quilting parties of the early 60's and 70's? Can you imagin the gossip and conversations that were held at these parties? Then another thought came to mind. With all due respect for the women that labored hour after hour, using rude sewing equipment, many years ago,' we feel that the women of today show as much talent for creating new ideas and putting1 them into handwork as did the women of old. The general belief today seems to be that the average woman of today does not have time or a desire to bother with sewing and making quilts and other family necessities. We feel that anyone visiting the quilt show would have been convinced that this idea is entirely wrong, and that the women of today are as thrifty, and have the ability to do things as did their ancesters. The show was a success from every angle. The Woman's Club sponsored the display and deserves much credit for bringing before the public, articles made long ago which hold memories sacred to the heart of the owners, and at the same time proves to the world that women of today have not lost the gift of creat ing beautiful things. ... ... .. - --wsS Vh NtfWE tHN WHMl 11 Vlttsmfc " i L IWrf tmi OUTl OF.
