lS several movements aiy "on toot

Last Friday night a mass mooting
was held and a general discussion was
made of the plan recently proposed by
C M. Dicus for a Waynesvi'le ihx
nir. Chamber of Commerce The
. at, was adopted by a vote '.UM Fri
day, but the maUer of electing officers
,va'. .. ft ! red until this Friday night.
'.- ;iu. meeting last Friday night,
during t!i.' two-hour discussion, sev
eral pies, 'lit expressed :h:' opinion
:m,t Hr- Waynesville District Cham
i.er (,f Commerce might conflict' with
:he piestn Waynesville Chamber oi
Commerce, while others took a dif
ferent view. The general opinion of
;he meeting, was, however, tha; this
city and community was not large
enough fm- two similar organizations
and it seemed be.-t to center all ef
forts on one such organization.
J. F. Massie, president of the Way
ntsville Chamber of Commerce, had
planned to have a meeting of the di
rectors of that organization Tuesday,
but several were out of town and was
postponed until they returned to the
city. He stated Wednesday morning
that he hoped to have this meeting
before Friday night and have the
board express their views on the mat
ter, and present some definite plans
at the meeting Friday night.
Mr. Massie stated that if he did
not get the directors together in a
meeting before Friday night, that he
expected to be present at the meeting
Friday night.
At last Friday's meeting, C. M.
Dicus was elected president of the or
ganization, but at his request the
meeting rescined this vote. Mr.
Dicus was then made temporary
chairman of the meeting.
After a motion was presented from
the floor for the adoption of the Dis
trict Chamber of Commerce plan, a
vote was taken, and the majority was
in favor of proceeding with the elec
tion of officers for the organization.
The minority, however, insisted in
holding the matter open and consult
ing the directors of the Waynesville
Chamber of Commerce. The meeting
was then adjourned until this Fri
day night, thus giving the minority
the opportunity to go into the matter
with the directors.
According to the vote ef 'the ma
jority present last Friday night, un,
less some other plan is offered to
morrow night, the election of officers
for the Waynesville I'istriot -.I'.ha'hm
'her -of Commerce will be held.
140 Attended The
Father-Son Banquet
Here Last Saturday
(By William Turner. i
We held our Father and -Son. ban
quet" 'April the first. The boys pro
vided all the food stuff necessary.
We started with our regular open
ing ceremony having the officers fixed
under their simbols. It being "All
Fools Day" we decided to play a joke
on the green hands. We made them
think that they were not going to get
anything to eat. After several num
bers of music from the '"Aggie band"
the Home Economics girls served us.
We had started eating: and someone
remarked that we hadn't fed the green
hands, After a laugh at their ex
pense we gave them their plate.
After feasting for quite a while we
called on several people for a speech.
We had Arthur Francis to give his
speech on "Taxation as a Farm Relief
Measure," Which he will giv, ?.n
Raleigh sometime in June.
After it was all over we voted it
a great success.
G rover Davis was the speaker of
the evening. He gave a ;ood short
talk which was enjoyed by everyone.
Others made short talk'.

Francis' Bill
Would Discourage
Highway Signs
Haywood Senator Would Place
License Fee On All Koad
Signs In State
The perennial question1 of regulat
ing the signboard advertising along
the highways of the state has been
put before the lfKi.'! session of the
general assembly in a bill offered in
the senate by Senator W. R. Francis
and which is now before the senate
roads committee, with indications that
it will receive a favorable report,
;; If the Haywood senator's bill should
pass, all persons, firms or corpora
tions placing signboards along the
roads of the state would have to ob
tain a license from the commissioner
of revenue, and observe certain regu
lations which would prevent the clut
tering of the highways with unsightly
advertising.
The signboard advertisers would
have to pay a license fee based on the
size of the signboard put Up. The
ra.e would he five cents per square
foot, the license feet in no instance to
be less than $2. This licensewould
have to obtained each year. The
fund collected from this source would
go to the state '-highway commission
and would have to be Used toward the
beautification of the highways.
The money, it is proposed would be
used for the planting of shrubbery
and other growth along the roads.
The movement to keep the highways
free from unsightly advertising, de
stroying the natural beauty of many
of the roads, is an old one in North
Carolina, but those who are interested
in the movement have been particular
ly active of late, and it is expected
that the general assembly will take
some action on the matter.
Considerable opposition to the bill,
however, comes from outdoor adver
tisers. It is believed that the bill
would eliminate many of the smaller
signboards from the highways and
discourage the promiscuous placing
of "eyesores" along the roads of the
state. -

Not only did beer regain its legal-,
ity, lost in this state since 1!H)S. but
a drive to leagalize manufacture of

tually law. Ratification is simply the
signing of the bill by presiding olli
cers of each branch of the general
assembly. The governor has no veto
power.
Briefly summarized, the Francis
bill provides:
1. Sale of :l.2 per cent beer, porters,
ale and wine after May 1-
2. A tax of $2 permit-gallon kc and
two cents per 12-ounce bottle will. be.
levied. .
.'!. No beer may bp sold to persons
under. IS years d age,
1 NV beer may be sold in a place
which derives its sole income from

Methodist "One-Win-One"
Revival Will
Begin Sunday . Morn.
Series Of Sermons On Last Days
Of Jesus Will lie (iiven By
Johnson.
The congregation of the First
.lidnodist church has-in process What
a known as "one-vin-one" icvival.
the plan is very simple, and accord
ing to Key. Wade Johnson, pastor, m
very scriptural. The theory is that
each church member win some yiiu to
profession of faith in Christ and to
niemiiership in . the church. The re
vival' will be held .during the week of
Ajirji '.1-10. "
was. by working this 'one-w in
one" campaign that the early church
made such phenomena! and rapid
giowth. If each Christian in VVay
nesyille would win one other to the
church in this city then Waynesville
would be a Christian city in fact,"
Hey, Mr. Johnson said.
Rev. Mr. Johnson contends that the
sefi-jus thinkers of the nation, re
gardless of their previous arguments
and sometimes in direct opposition to
their former opinions, are definitely
turning to the principles of Jesua an a
basis for the solution of our economic,
social, and governmental problems.
It is because .of the significance of
Faster that the Methodist, congrega
tion is centering its "one-win-ene" ef
fort at this particular season. It. was
oh a Sunday morning some 1900 years
ago that Christ came forth from the
sepulchre and the Christian church
came a reality, r
Beginning ne.Yt Sunday morning a
series of meepings in keeping with
the events of the Holy Week will be
held in the church. : The following
sermon subjects hare been announced
by the pastor: ;
Sunday morning, April i'th. "uod
Needs You." '"
Sunday evening, at 7:30, "The Cru
cifiers:". ."
At 8 o'clock each evening The pas
tor will preach on the following sub
jects: .',''.
Monday. "Thou Too."
Tuesday, "The Alarm,"
Wednesday, "Spotted Hands."
Thursday, "The Thief." ,
Friday, "The Broken Heart.'' ;
The Eastern Sunday subjects will be

rites Fetter To I'resident
Selling Out I'lan.
In a lot.cr to 1'iesidcnt lvoosevelt,
K' pi esi mat ivc Weaver has urged that
i number of labor camps, to be estab
lished under the chitd' executive's plan
to pa 2.r0,000 jnen to work in forests
aiid 'L.toinal parks, be located in West
ern North Carolina The Asheville
repi ( srntativc also pointed out that
several hundred of the men to Ik given
employment could be used to a good
advantage in removing jetties from
the - French Hroud . river between
A-heville and Brevard.
Representative Weaver's letter to
the I'resident in full follows:
"I'resident I'Tankling I). Roosevelt,
"The White House,
"Washington, I) .(',
"My dear Mr. I'resident:
"I .tm interested in your proposal
contained m n. k. otioa. itenei oi un
employment through the performance
of useful public work and for other
purposes.,'
"My interest is immediate because
of the fact thai a large area of na
tional forest '.lands' are situated in my
district,1 -which includes a large part
of the western portion of North Caro
lina, and for the further rea-on that
one. half of the tlreat Snioky Moun
tains National J'ark lies within this
aiea. Both old1 national forests and
this national park, area, arc, and wil!
continue to lie. great ly beiloicial fo. the
pi ople of my section; and' I think to
the whole of Fas ern America, and I
trust thi'Sc ala as shall be "considered
fully, in tdlociiting a jioition of: the
work contemplated under this bill.
"A further matter to which I wish
to call your- particular attention in
volves 'the headwaters of the French
Broad liver, which is one of the tributaries-of
the Tennessee, and "grow.-,
out of the following-situation: .
"About the year 1HS0 the United
States government, in an a'tempt
to: nial.e the I'Tench Broad rive r navi
gable from Asheville to Brevard, a
distance' of" about forty miles, con
: ructeil a number of jett ies along the
river for the purpo-e of constricting
the river flow and peepening the, course
of the stream. This attempt, however,
proved impractical and wis abandon
ed leaving these jetties along the
str am: bed. Along this river, in Hen
derson ' and. Transylvania counties,
North Carolina, the binds ale very
fertile, bottom lands, and the con
struction of these jetties, with the ac
cumulated debris, - has resulted in
continuous overflows and ,flo ding of
this area and the destruction of vei-y
valuable crops.
"This situation was made the sub
ject of a bill whic;i I introduced in
congress some years ag-, f'ir the pur
pose of a survey of 'he river at th;s
point, in order to have these jetties
removed by the war department. This
survey was merged into a larger sur
vey of the Tennessee river, which is
embraced in a report now available.
TELLS OF GAME LEFUGE
"The people of these two counties
are extremely anxious to have a por
tion of the labor which may be made
available under the above bill al
located to the work of removing these
jet-tie and thus increase the availa
bility of this area to a very large ex
tent. In connection with this, I will
point out that the Pisgah National
forest, one of the most valuable for
ests in our sec von arid now a .groat
game refuge, is situated immediately
ad jacent to where his work would' be
neceary.
"May I call your at'etion to this
situation with the hope that it may
be considered by the department or
agency which may have in active
charge the work so contemplated.
"Very sincerely vours. i
