TIIl JiSDAV, MARCH 16, 193:j THE l'KOI'OSi;i) WAVNESVILLE DISTKICT CHAMIiEIl 01' COMMERCE The Mountaineer has boon impressed with the large' number of comments made 'favoring the proposed civic organization of a Waynes vi;le District Chamber of Commerce by C. M. Dicus, which va published in last week's paper. Not all of the comment made has been in lavur of tin- proposed plan, however, and those expressing oipo-ii ion to it were as sincere in their views ;i- those favoring it, but we find that the genera1 opinion is. as far as revealed the p!an. hall continue to support any and 'which we believe arc uplifting betterment of our community,', e time we are always willing to those seeing things differently. iiieni space, in accordance with quickly as those expressing our THE CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE Our sympathy goes out to the citizens of the nation who lost heavily of their property and in many instances members of their fami lies or loved-ones, in the California Earthquake. As terrible as the earthquake was, it also had another side to it, in that it made the rest of the country stop thinking so much about thp bai.k situation and look at the suffering and , .-onow wnicn nact befallen the western shore of our nation. Many people throughout our nation have been comparing everything in life with gold and .vih-c-r, and during the past few weeks they have stuck even closer to that ihun with the scenes of devastation of the California aitlHjuake in their minds, we feel that many ih look beyond their financial troubles and isualize the suffering and sorrow that can really befall a nation. And again, we repeat, our sympathy goes "tit to all those affected in any way by the earthquake, but since it had to happen, it seems Unit it was indeed a blessing that it should "-uir at the crisis of the financial situation i bring our nation face to face with the fact, '-bat, -'even as bad as the financial situation u',ls' U,erc' ai' mn.V things that could have ''t n much worse." urea in accord wit Tnis pap.'j all movement and mean in but at t!u ' -a give vieu VV shall iM our pohVir-,, a 'sentiineiii '-.

This same official told us that a record was -.being made of those who were offered jobs and relused to take them because they felt that the county will care for them. These persons will be .-omewhat overcome next fall when thev hml that they can no longer depend on charity. Citizens in each community should inform I hose now receiving charity, just what plans are being made for next winter, and should try l make the "destitute" realize the importance of having at least a garden. We believe that next 'winter it is goinir to be a difficult task to get charity assistance. WHAT COULD BE PLAINER? Last Sunday morning Rev. II. W. IJaucom pastor of the First Baptist church, brought to his congregation a most timely and uplifting message. lie used as his text, a scripture verse that seems was perhaps written just for this nation at this time, II Chronicles, 7th Chapter and 14th verse: "If My people, which are called by Mv n.i ..1. 11 . . . J ......, Mian numoie themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wick ed ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will .heal their land." A few of the remarks made by Rev Mr l.aucom were as follows: "This seems to be a cure for the world's ills. "A cure for the depression "The world seems to have forgotten God, ..-. Learnings ana nis warnings."
