THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1932 DAHLIAS ARE AN ASSET TO WAYNES VILLE One of the greatest assets of Haywood conuty is flowers. This is especially true of the dahlias that are grown here every year, and in such colors and size that few other places in America surpass us in that respect. Today the annual Dahlia Show opens in the building opposite the post office and on dis play there one will find dahlias that will make the average person at a loss to think of words to describe them. The dahlias grown in Hay wood county are recognized as the outstand ing cultivated flower of this section, both in beauty and size. Waynesville has fortunately been linked with the dahlia and is now considered the cen ter of the dahlia section which is a distinction that is worth much to us, both financially and also from the standpoint that it shows that the people here appreciate nature and beauty, and where a people has cultivated a love for beauty and nature you will always find a people of higher intellect and with more ambition than you do in those that pass up one of Heaven's greatest gifts, flowers. Summer tourists have learned the dahlia show is an event in Waynesville that is worth staying over a few more weeks to attend. The tourist bulletins have recently named the an nual dahlia show here as being one of the in teresting events that take place in Western North Carolina each autumn. This year it is ranked along with the Cherokee Indian Fair, which has been popular with tourists of the South for years. . Truly, Waynesville is indeed fortunate to have in her midst a group of people that love, appreciate; and cultivate flowers, not only for themselves but for the sake of others who come into our community. . OUR MOUNTAINS Home folks are in the habit of going to Europe to see mountains and the best of what they see there could be buried in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. North Carolina folks I go West to see the ruggedness of barren peaks, and have been all unappreciative of the fact frequently and persistently maintained by The Observer, that our home mountains are by far the most impressively beautiful to be seen in any part of the world. What they lack in ex cessive altitudes is more than made up by the abundance and variety of woods that cover them, of the fauna and flora that grows in be tween and by the grass that spreads up f rom the valleys to the very summits. There is a matchless softness in the outlines of the ranges, broken at various points by rugged peaks, all shaded in a variety of blues and purples that are to be seen nowhere else in the mountain world of the globe. For years past this paper has been diligently engaged in an endeavor to impress upon the minds of the people that in the western part of our State we have the best thing in the way of mountains, and now, out side visitors are coming to our assistance, and our readers are going to believe so noted an authority as General Hans von Below, who has drifted over to this country and has found lod gement at a hotel in Waynesville. He has been knocking around in the western section, since July, having "done" Blowing Rock and the country in between Bryson City, and he is giv ing the advice The Observer has been ham mering into the minds of our people, for he advises that we "ought to advertise this coun try throughout the North and West and turn the tide of travel this way," He expresses surprise that so little is known of "this won derful part of the country" in the great centers of population. He finds in our mountains a re semblance to the Black forests of Germany, but in fact, the closest resemblance to our moun tains in all of Europe is the Pyrenees, crossing which the American visitor might believe he, is traveling the spruce and chestnut sections of the North Carolina mountains. The German General also makes comparison of our moun tains with those of Switzerland, the latter com ing second best. "" That our home peqple know but little of the glories of the North Carolina mountains is largely due to the fact that until quite recent ly highway facilities have been lacking, and it is for the same reason that the outside world has been barred, but the mountain sections are now opened by the best of roads in America and the people are seeking the mountains instead of the cities for Von Below is his own chauf feur and is touring in his own car.

THE COURT HOUSE DEDICATION It has often been said that it is every man's duty, and woman's too, now, to vote and have a part in government and community affairs. With that statement clearly approved by prac tically every citizen, we see no reason why every person having a bit of community pride and love of his country should not attend the dedi cation of the court house next Monday at 10:00 o'clock. Of course, as we have said, the building is complete and the county officers have moved in and are carrying on the county's business there, but the people have not formally accept ed. By holding the dedication will not change the building materially, but it will make a difference in the minds of the people of this county and their respect toward that building. If you continue to live in Haywood county the rest of your days, we venture to say that not within the next forty or fifty years will you have an opportunity to attend the dedication of another new Haywood county court house, unless the present one is destroyed by some outside force. We do not think it will be by fire, for it i3 fireproof from top to bottom. The Southern Raliway has a full page ad vertisement on the back page of its new menus, recently printed to be used on all Southern trains, describing the beauties of Western North Carolina and urging passeng ers to visit the "cool mountain tops and pleas ant valleys in the beautiful land of the sky. Every vacation requisite." The Southern Railway System has devoted much time and money in advertising the ad vantages of Western North Carolina, the effects of which will be felt here for many years to come. German General Is Liberal In Praise Of This Community Says We Should Advertise This Section More In North And West If there is anything in old sayings the Democrats are destined for a land slide this year and a seat in the White House. "As goes Main, so goes the country." Main went Demo cratic. This, together with the fact that Al Smith has got into harness again and will speak for Roosevelt, will pep up the Democratic party and stir within them enough vigor and determi nation to carry the election in November. ROBERTSON AND HIS PEOPLE It was of incidental reference by The Ob server that a call at the office of Reuben Rob ertson, president of the Champion Fibre Com pany, in Canton, Labor Day, developed that the office was locked up and the president and all his aides, gone to Lake Junaluska to participate in the exercises of the day, along with the com pany's help, Mr. Robertson was not only there to participate, but to develop happiness for all the workers in general and some participants in particular. He carried in his pocket a lot of gold coin, which was distributed as prizes for the winning participants on the sports of the day and 7,000 enthusiastic men and women and children cheered as he handed out $20 in gold to Miss Madge Wilson of Sylva, as the cham pion bathing beauty, with renewed cheers when $10 in gold was handed Miss Martha Stepp, of Hendersonville, as Miss Wilson's closest com petitor. These and other prizes were personally provided by Mr, Robertson deservedly recogniz ed as one of the most popular captains of in dustry in the whole State. The whole day, in fact, had been provided by Mr. Robertson for the benefit, not only of his own people, but for the workers in all that section of the State. And who is it that has ever heard of a strike at the Canton plant? Or who is it that is ever going to hear of a strike there ? Charlotte Observer. HOW WOULD YOU RATE YOURSELF? (The author of the following rules of con duct was George Washington in 1745). Every action in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those, present, Be no flatterer, neither play with anyone that delights not to be played with. Read no letters, books or papers in com pany ; but when there is a necessity for doing it, you may ask leave, Come not near books or writings of anyone so as to read them unless desired, nor give your opinion of them unasked ; also, look not nigh when another is writing a letter. Sleep not when others speak ; sit not when others stand ; speak not when you should hold your peace. Show not yourself glad at the misfortune of another, though he were your enemy. Undertake not what you cannot perform, but be careful to keep your promise. Let your discourse with men of business be short and comprehensive. Undertake not to teach your equal in the art he himself professes; it savors of arrogran- cy. .. . : Mock not nor jest at anything of impor tance; make no jests that are sharpbiting, and if you deliver anything witty and pleasant, ab stain from laughing thereat yourself. Wherein you reprove another be unblama ble yourself ; for example is far more prevalent than precepts. Use no reproachful language against any one, neither curse nor revile. . Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagement of any. Associate yourself with men of good quali ty if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company. Be not angry at table, whatever happens, and, if you have reason to be so, show it not; put on a cheerful countenance, especially if there be i strangers, for good humor makes one dish of meat a feast. ' Let" your recreations be manful, not sinful. Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestrial fire called conscience.

"You have an assest of inestimable value in your mountain scenery and national park lands here m Waynes ville, Haywood couty,, and Western North Carolina,'' said Lieutenant- General Hans von Below, of Germany, who is visiting Western North Car olina points. Ha is now at the Gor- don hotel here. "You ought to advertise this country throughout the north and west and turn the tide of travel this way. am surprised that so little is known cf this wonderful country in these great centers of population," General von Below added. He wrts as genial as one would be to an invited guest. However, he was firm in his refusal of an interview on general topics, politically or other wise either in Germany or America, as he was entirely out of politics and did not care to express himself. How ever, he d'd not mand being known as royalist in Germany, for he expressed the opinion that a monou.:hy :b ''Ger many suits 'the"' conditions there as well as a republic in this country. He is a most ftgreeal le companion and expresses himself fluently and in terestingly in English. As to the World War, or political questions in Germany, he declined to be quoted. He felt that the recovery of his coun try economically was the paramount question now. CHARMED WITH W. N.C. Genera! von Below said that he had been in Western North Carolina since early in July and that he was charmed with it. His trip in this State had been to Blowing Rock, to Ashevilie, where he stopped only for a few hours; Bryson City, where ht remained for a week, and Waynesvule. He said he liked Waynesvilio because e was looking for a small town with attrac tions and not for si city. Asked as to how he w;u- tr.ivelinjt, he answered. "I am my o"n chauffeur and I am 70 years old. My wife and I are traveling alone, and we aro en joying it so hvich."

"Wade Harris In Editor ial Joins Throng At Lake Junaluska For Celebration Bonus Army Musicians Visit Waynesville Last week four members of the "bonus army" arrived in Waynesville and entertained many listeners with their singing and banjo playing Three members of the group had voices that harmonized almost per fectly.

" Among the distinguished visitors at the Labor Day ceitbraticn at '-.';e Junaluska last week was Col. Wade Hams, editor of the Charlotte Ob server. Col. Harris delights in writ ing about the mountains of Western North Carolina and has done much more than many natives of these hills in advertising this country the outside world. A few mornings after the Labor Day celebration, Col. Harris had the following editorial in the Charlotte Observer: "We accounted it a bit of good for tune that we were privileged to find ourselves in the midst of the Labor Day festivities centered at Lake Junaluska, when the population of Cahton and Enka was concentrated in a holiday picnic. The roadways over Junaluska grounds were packed with automobiles, between which a stream of men women and cmldren was flowing and ebbing. Joe Daniels, orator of the day, held an auditorium full during the course of his speech, but roads and parks were filled with merry-makers while hundreds were idly boating on the lake. It was the personnel of the crowd, however, that eft the deepest impression. Every man, woman and child was dressed as finely as the fashions of the day will permit, and over the whole jcllity reigned supreme. Nor were the la borers by themselves.
