It eem.s, -however, that 'with sununef coni mg iii. a.iid th" prospects for -a .good .-casnii this Vfc-ar, something ought to lje (lope, and that ctiickly. to get the united suppoi t ail' the entire community to back one well planned program hi an vll'ort to get summer visitors and indu--t ties 'here rather than have them go elsewhere. IHnk'ss we are of one accord and united, we can. -k! expect to accomplish much, and certainly sts long ;is we try to make ourselv es believe that we can supjxrt two chambers of commerce, w-are far f mm being in harmony. This one thought should perhaps be ;,jn.mght out . There are points and ixissibly .'tiytiments 'that could be presented why there i'uv two chambers of commerce in this com. . mmiity today, but the one big fact remains; it 'ils folly to believe that two such i iganizations uv needed' in this cominunity, anL until there only one active and pmgressive organization 'tlemainiing' the undivided supjxirt of the citizens "if this community there is little that can bc -uvompiished. PROTECTION FROM SCHEMERS One of the most urgent needs of this com. munity at this particular time is some organiza tion that will protect the business men from being pestered daily with publicity men who have schemes for advertising Waynesville to the world which are usually not worth the time they take to explain it. Since Waynesville is so near the park they feel that this is a good territory and a good time t- get out booklets, road maps, and magazine articles all paid for by local people, togethe with various and numerous other schemes. Last week, for example, there were two men here trying to put over a highway guide, which was a sheet of paper with a map of a highway on it and advertising on the margin. All tow ns along this route had taken space with the exception of Waynesville, and for that reas. on they were here to "give the town a break by being represen ted." One business man we know was contacted. The price for the space was $15 cash. When the Waynesville man showed no sign of being interested, they said: "We'll make it 12.50 and trade out $2.50." After cutting and trying in vain, they made the last and final offer of in cash and $2.50 in trade. They failed to sell the space, because they had nothing to sell and the Waynesville man knew it, but he was pestered and lost his time and temper before the men were convinced that ihey could not sell him. In the first place, if the .-pace had been worth $15 in the beginning it was worth it fifteen minutes later, but evi. U ti t is' they thought not, because they dropped half. A- we -aid in the outset, there should be -.in,, protection here for the business men. A:. ad rtising committee should be named and a1! i . i i -e'reini s -hoiiid he turned over to this coni uaHee before the schemers- are permitted 'o contact the ln.i-ines- men. Some schemes might iiHtify .-pace, but that is only once in a 'great main ''times. This committee should invest igal and find out it't.-t .-Where the -material w.ill he ii-ed air! all about it.

"THE LAST ROl'NDl P" Al ter giving an extension of time for pay-. ' iiieht. of l',i:!2 taxes since last August -before, uivt.i tising. the 1 fay wood County Hoard of Com-lr.i-.dotier.s in a formal order has set April fifth as the date that the delinquents' will be advertised.. The Hoard could have, and according to law. was supposed to advertise taxes last Aug ust, but'at that time there were many farmers and others who could not pay, and a foreclosur.' would have been hard to over come. After the crops have been sold, and there remains a .number that can pay who have not the -.board, feels that it has been "easy" enough and is now forced to advertise. SUPERSTITIONS William Feather in his daily article entitl ed "A IJusinessman's Philosophy" recently gave forth a very interesting discourse on common household -suiH'istitior.s. He says that these common superstitions weie prohobly deliberately invented to enforce desirable rules of conduct. ". It has always been deemed bad luck to hang 'your- Cpat on a door knob, with the admonition ; that -someone, i;: the 'house, will die within the year. It is bad luck to bring a hoe into the hi-r.se. to open an umbrella in the house, to bteak a mirror, to walk under a ladder. To .sing before breakfast was a sign that you would weep before dinner. Not to eat the crusts of y- ur bread is a sign that you will go hungry before the year is ended. To butter your bread or. both side presages a similar famine. It is easy to suppose that these superstition..- were spontaneously devised by mothers of families, to make housekeeping easier. To bring a hoe into the house is to bring dirt in; to open an umbrella is to endanger bricu-brac; ta hang clothing on door-knobs is to give the place -slovenly---appearance, and make it difficult to open and close doors. The bread and butter superstitions are merely rules of economy-- so is the one -.about breaking a mirror for mirrors are still expensive although they were once much: more costly than now. And it's merely common sense not to w'alk under a ladder as something in the nature of a paint bucket is likely to fallen your head. So we can easily suppose how "these- supers stitions were invented and our supposition is probably not very far wrong. Of course, it is not the proper thing to teach 'children such non sense but each superstition has probably served a worthy purpose down through the years. Per haps something a bit less disturbing to mental calmness and common sense can be invented to supplant these age old admonitions. Ex.
