IS THIS COMMUNITY TRYING TO DO THE.
IMPOSSIBLE?
This community may not realize it. but m
our way of thinking', and also that of a number
f business men. - we are trying to do some,
thing that the largest of cities dare not under
take, and that is having two chambers of com
'liiTce. (VitaUiiy a community the size i -this

ctiickly. to get the united suppoi t ail' the entire
community to back one well planned program

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

"if this community there is little that can bc

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

"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.
