THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1932 PROSPECTS FOR WELFARE OFFICER ENCOURAGING After a survey last week, we find that there is much public sentiment being aroused over the suggestion made in this column recently regarding a welfare officer for Haywood county. We feel somewhat encouraged over the fact that the general trend of public sentiment is toward that end, and believe that eventually this county will have a welfare officer. The city of Canton is now employing a welfare officer for six months in the year, and authentic reports from that place are to the effect that conditions are "very much improv ed" among the unfortunates since the employ ment of this officer. What an officer has done in one part of the county could be accomplished in the entire county. Surely the civic and busi ness leaders of this county are not going to try to get through this winter without some defi nite outlined program to take care of the poor in a systematic manner, in preference to the kosely conducted way charity is now being handled. The Board of County Commissioners -e believe, would gladly cooperate with a central charity organization in this work, and would appropriate a sum toward the salary of a wel- .. 1 mi. a i . it- i i f ii iaie wortier. ine siate would pay nail tne salarv of a welfare nffippr lipro nnH foH-oirilv as , a w. V HUM WA vw A jj the Board of Commissioners will see that the ether halt is provided wjien the citizens of this county get down to brass tacks and organize a charity organization and throw themselves whole-heartedly into the work. The version we take on. the matter is, that me people must act first, and then county and state officials will follow, with moral and finan cial support. We can't expect the commission ers to do something we are not willing to do ourselves.- COMMUNITY FAIRS This week three communities will have their annual fairs, and many interesting displays of farm and home-grown products will be shown. These fairs are the beginning, we believe, of a large county fair for this county. The interest we take in these community fairs will deter mine largely whether or not we will have a county fair. There are two reasons why we should at tend these community fairs, first, those put ting on the fairs and fixing the displays deserve our cooperation; second, it is of educational value to us to see what other folks are doing, and we should take advantage of learning and getting new ideas. As we have said before in this column, "as the farmer lives, so lives the county'" can be well used here, because in these fairs we car. see how the farmers are going to live this winter. . UNITED STATES IS PROGRESSIVE (?) and we call ourselves a progressive na tionincreasing the postage rates in order that we might tear down good post office buildings so that we build another just like it only at a greater cost. How many 3-cent stamps and postal cards will it take, after costs of printing and selling are deducted, to pay for the new 12 million dollar post office building in Washing ton? With things like these before we continue to say we are "the greatest nation on earth," When we ought to say "we are the greatest wasters on earth." THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING RACKET The United States Government scatters approximately 300,000 pamphlets, documents and bound books over the country every work ing day. In the 1931 fiscal :ear the Printing Office issued, almost 3,500,000,000 copies of printed matter. It is now doing still better. In the six months following July 1, 1931, the amount of type was 129,000,000 ems. greater than in the same period the previous year. This is at a time when taxes of all kinds have jumped, in the face of a lowered national income. The government printing department offers a fertile field for some real and needed economy. Literally, speaking, it cost the tax payers of Haywood County last year $95,000.00 for the indebtedness on her schools. Some of this was used in paying the principle, and some on repairs, but the molt of it was on debts. The state spent $102,319.24 on schools in the county, outside of the Beaverdam schools which are under special charter. SENDING CHILDREN TO SCHOOL In the news columns of this paper last week there was an article about a man of this county being sent to jail because he refused to send his children to school, and which impressed us, , not because he was sent to jail, but to know that within our county there are people that deliberately refuse to send their children to school. We do not know all the facts mentioned in the news article, and are not necessarily centering our remarks on this one case, but to all who have at any time refused to send their children to school. From one standpoint, it is a selfish motive on the part of the parent that keeps most child ren home, and usually in order that the child ren might work. This attitude not only de prives the child of an education, but also places upon the community in later years a person of little education and culture; to say nothing of the feeling the children will have for their par ents in later years when they can see for them selves the need for an education. There is a law that provides that all child ren of school age (14 and under) shall be sent to school, and we understand that the school authorities are going to see to it that this law is earned out, and all those failing to obey this law will be dealt with severely. It is not so much the fact of obeying the law that we should see that children are sent to school, but from the standpoint of duty as parents, and as progressive citizens. We do not honestly believe that any parents can truth fully say that they want their children to grow into manhood and womanhood ignorant, and yet they seem to delight in knowing that this very thing will happen when they refuse to send them to school. The school authorities tippH tha tion of all citizens in seeing to it that children of school age are in school. Our civic pride and love for our county and country should prompt us to press each case until we see that our aim is accomplished in an effort to wipe out illiteracy from the borders of our county. FALL COLORS During the next few weeks the mountain sides will change from their summer attire to colors that painters have long sought to copy on canvas, but as yet without success, because nature alone possess the talent to transfer foli age into as many colors as will soon be seen in these hills. It is OUr belief that: whpn tha nnrlr ia fnlhr developed and opened to the public that there will be more travel through here during the fall months than at any other time of the year. Certainly, if the tourists ever get a glimpse of the mountains here during the month of Oc tober, it will be more than they can resist the next year and will return, bringing with them those whom they believe will also enjfiy the place "where nature did her best." BUSINESS HERE IS GOOD The Asheville Citizen last weplr hart Mr McCoy, of their staff, to make a business survey of Haywood county and find out what the actual existing conditions prevailing in the county at mis time were, rnis survey was made in con nection with similar investigations of all the omer counties or western North Carolina. Mr. McCov brouzht out the fact that ditions here were on the imwarH frond RnaL ness in Haywood county will not have to climb as nign m oraer to get back to normal as in some other counties. Haywood county was slower in contracting a case of bad business than most other sections. Then, too, Haywood county has more things to draw from than most places. If our crops fail, we still have tourists, apples, cattle, manu facturing to draw from. QUACKS . By i L B. A. QUACXER HOW TO GET BUSINESS The Ford Motor Co. three years ago spent $1,000,000 in advertising and got $500,000,000 worth of business as a result. Yet, many mer chants and business men wonder how to get more business. There is only one way, do more advertising. All successful merchants spend at least 3 per cent of their income for adver tising. People read ads more today than ever before. Thrifty housewives scan the papers to see where to buy and who is offering the greatest values. If you want to get more busi ness, do more advertising. If you doubt this, asjc those who have tried. SIXTY-FOUR WAYNESVILLE YOUNG PEOPLE IN COLLEGE Some Deonle Would have ns hpliWo fhnt young people of today were good-for-nothing and too lazy to get in out of a shower of rain. To this kind of talk we should remind them of the fact that 64 of Waynesville's young peo ple that graduated from the local high school are in college this year. There are more than 64 from here in college, this number only in cluded those graduating from the Waynesville high school. We believe this is more than will be found in other towns in North Carolina. Are you advertising Waynesville to the world? There is no excuse now for not doing so, for we have the advertising material. Get it use it and you'll profit by it Right at this time of year every'communi ty seems to more or less be infested with travel ing salesmen that try to sell everything from socks at five cents a pair with a half dozen magazines thrown in, to an all-wool suit for $7.50. It should be remembered that these agents don't help pay taxes to support schools, civic welfare, or anything else. They come here for business and don't contribute one thing to the town. v We patronize these parasites and then have the brass to fuss and fume because the mer chants don't keep everything you can think of. i.Look at the situation from every angle, and see if you are not convinced that a dollar spent with a traveling salesman that does not live .here, isn't hurting yourself in the long run. We have studied it out and found that it emphati cally does. TVianlra Tnni fni- the srvlA of "Quacks." Your suggestion has proven to be of service to me. Thanks, too. for th3 information. . .
