THE VALUE 01 THE STORY HOUR
I nder the above caption, a member ot the
oman'.s Club wrote the following article,
which contained such good thoughts that we
are using it editorially m the hope that it might
bring renewed enthusiasm into their worthy
undertaking.
The oral storv has a verv large place in
tlie education of clnldern. Without doubt, it
furnishes the chief means of using the imagi
nation in the direction of a wider mental hori
zon, and should (ill an important place in the
day's program ot each child. The ideal place
for story telling is the home, but since our
modern methods of living have so changed home
life, tin- art and custom of fireside story telling
lias, waned. Seeing the need of a story hour
iu the community, the Women's Clubs of Way
nesville have sponsored a story hour this seas-!
; on which has proved both interesting and help
.fuh .''.. ' ; r.
. The story is j untold value to every child.;
i-'irst of aii, it tires the imagination and creates
a desire lor reading, study, and activity. It
ostei.- a love for . good literature and gives
a background and an introduction to a wide
scope ot reading matter. In this wav, an ac
quaintance with the best authors is cultivated.
Some spark of creative genius is aroused, for
the story, lias given a pat tern Tor 'storv build
ing and dramatization. Through the story
coriect use of v orK phrase and -entences is
learned. Thus the vocabulary is enlarged and
enriched and pronunciation and enunciation is
improved.
Some stories have historical settings and
background, and in this way give a wealth of
historical knowledge. Still others use Geogra
phic, .scientific or biological factors, dening
the scope of education along that line. Aside
from these factors, the good stoiy has a moral
appeal and is a great aid in character building,
as well as a source of entertainment and useful
employment during idle hours. Children are
naturally good and if given the proper outlet
for their energies, are never bad and mischiev-
ous.
So Mr. Roosevelt gave a Dern to the War
Department.
Add to Est of things the county needs
More plow line and less bread lines.
OUR NEIGHBORS
During the past 10 days the business world
has gone through some trying circumstances,
but so far the people of this nation have stuck
to each other and the situation has been met
calmly and bravely.
Close observations during the past few
days, have reminded us of the sermon we heard
preached recently by a prominent pastor of
this state, during which he brought out tho
lolloping points, which we pass on for what
they are worth. They have meant much to us.
"The world is now one large community,
anil everyone's actions touche someone else.
"The man who lives for himself today is
not living a Christian life, and is not a good
citizen.
"Have tin interest in your fellow man.
"You can't get along without your neigh
bor. "You can't afford to enrich yourself at the
; p( use of the other fedow."
There is no doubt but that the financial
doubles the world is having has had a tendancy
lo bring men closer to each other and make
i hem more neighborly and instill in them a
keener understanding of each other's burdens.
,ViIO SHOULD PAY FOR HIGHWAYS
Same ume ago a commission was appoint
; in !:-.tf:nr.(J to dvterinine what proportion of
:,o ; an I u-w-'ep of the highways .-hould be
.ii ' oy tlii ;'omn! rcial trucks. Four men rep-
nliiit the raihoads, and four men represent-.

:.:giiw;; .y.-tem is about $:00,000,00. The
i.ha.nniou.' recommendation of the-commission
. that the commercial trucks should pay
lUncticaliy forty per cent of the cost ami up
!:. ; . p of i i h pubiic highways, and all other motor
. eno-les the balance.

THOMAS A. EDISON
Thomas A. Edison will go down in history
as an inventor and will be probably thought of
in terms nl an inventor, but we found the other
day some savings of his which we feel are
worthy ol the deep consideration of our readers
After reading these "gems," said to have been
written bv Edison, we believe that many will
have an entirely different opinion of the freat
inventor-philosopher.
"The greatest monument of all times was
the Cross of Calvary. It had a greater effect
on more people for a longer time than anything
erected by man.
"One-generation doesn't profit by the pain
of another.
"This fellow Ford is like a postage stamp.
He sticks to a thing until he gets there.
"I have friends in overalls whose friend
ship I would not swap for the favor of kings.
"Fools call wise men fools. IJut a wise
man never calls any man a fool.
"A man's best friend is a good wife,
"Look at the moon it winks at the world's
ignorance.
"A good idea never was lost. Its possessor
mav die, but it will be reborn in the mind of
another.
"Our goal is peace and preparedness is the
road to it.
"Time is the cheapest thing in life, and the
only thing you cannot buy.
"Even a man that doesn't amount to much
usually gets a hearing when he's telling the
truth." ' .' :
Haywood county is one of the few coun
ties in the state that did not default in meeting
their obligations recently. Of the four incorpo
hated towns in the county, only one, Clyde de
faulted, and that was a very small amount.
It is not that we all don't know what is the
matter with the country today, its doing some
thing about it.
Last year the people of the United States
paid over $216,600,000 in gasoline taxes. A
kind of privilege tax, maybe. Spending that
much for the privilege to burn money.
Our printers have heard "save and eco
nomise" so much that last week they left the
"O" out of tourist in the editorial column in
order to save that much ink, or at least maybe
that was the reason.

HEXIi:kS)XVII.LE"S HOARDING
HOl Sh'S PAY $12.00 PER YEAR
.Air..-Curtis Russ, Flditor,
Waynesville Mountaineer,
Waynesville, N. C.
Hear Curtis:
. Your editorial on community adver.
tiidhe- was intere-tine and very timely.
Your suggestion as to rasing money
from hotels and boarding houses was
very much to the point because these
institutions reap first benefit from the
tourist business.
I thought perhaps you would be
interested in one of our lists showing
how we handle this matter. Board
ing houses and hotels must carry at
least one membership of $12.00 per
year. Those with room for rent (no
meals being served) are required to
pay $5 00 a year, paid in advance.
This rate sheet is the most servicable
piece of literature we have in the
office. .
Cordially yours,
NOAH HOLLOWELL,
. Secretary of Hendersonville Cham
of Commerce. :
LIGHT AND DARKNESS
Ah the beautiful sunshine,
That makes the world so bright.
Just for your pleasure and mine
If we will only do right.
There may come some dark days
When all brightness seems gone.
Its then that temptation plays
And satan tempts us to wrong.
It's then, we must ask for His power
To keep us when in temptation ways
For He can be to us in this hour
As He can in the brightest days.

this the breeze became stronger and
colder, and by noon dark clouds had
formed again.
