We feel that -both are fortunate to make such "connections." Time and time again we have made men tion of the fact, .that as a rule, the people in this county do not fully appreciate the, value of Lake Junaluska. Few towns and communi ties ever have the opportunity of hearing pro grams of the high type that are presented at the lake. i . Citizens in other places have to go miles to hear such programs as have been presented there this year, and as will be presented for the coming two weeks. . We feel that the least the local people can do is to take every advantage of the Lake pro grams for the coming two weeks not only will it more than worth your time, but it will show Mr. Atkins and his co-workers that we're behind the work there. The Lake is one of the county's greatest assets, and only when we patronize it will all concerned realize the fullest advantages offered.

Stevenson had resign ed as fire chief and head of the 'light depart ment of Waynesville canio as unsuspected news. No storm got too bad, no lightning too sharp, or any fire too hot for "Steve." He was on the job to see that property was protected and saved, and that the light service went un interrupted. For eleven years he displayed a nerve not usually found in men. But it came natural for "Steve." He liked that kind of work. There might be others that have as much nerve as he when it comes to fires and climb ing light poles, but we seriously doubt if any other man would dare carry as many pairs of heavy pliers in their pants pockets as he often "did. While the world mourns the loss of the leading humorist of the day Will Rogers it is encouraging to note that his work is by no means at an end. Mr. Rogers was ranked among the nota bles of the day "as different." He was differ ent to the extent that he knew himself and liv ed accordingly. He was well aware of the fact that to wear formal evening clothes would not be in line with- his natural-self . He had littie regard for rules in grammer he expressed himself as he saw fit and as the occasion demanded. The highly educated understood his as well as the less learned. His success can be attributed to the fact that he knew himself, and never tried to imi tate others. His life was a living example of "attaining success by being natural." $1500 WORTH OF BLACKBERRIES The lowly blackberry, that thrives with out any attention, or scientific cultivation, has brought to pickers of the berries in Haywoo 1 County this year over $1,500, for thirty tons. It must be remembered that $1,500 repre sents a net profit, inasmuch as no investment other than time was involved in bringing in this amount. This is just one of the instances of where "taking advantage of opportunities" has paid Haywood County- The cannery at Hazelwood has already been worth much more to the county than it cost. TWO NAUGHT EIGHT FIVE What seems to be a novel idea, yet having the possibilities of being well worth while, was recently undertaken in California after a group of Reparians were brought face to face with the fact that last year 36,000 people met un timely deaths in the United States resulting from automobile accidents, and that 2,085 were Californians. The idea is simply a large sticker on the windshields bearing a large 2085 a constant reminder of what has happened in the past. Underneath are these words: "In the interest of the General Welfare ; to protect and preserve life; to promote good citizenship earnest and continuous efforts are being made to operate this automobile in strict compliance with motor laws and regulations." Constant reminders as these stickers should impress the motorists to the point where they would be more careful at all times, lest the now large figure 2085 be increased. ' r ' '' '' ' ' j.- An encouraging incident for Western North Carolina is the meeting of the state highway commission in this area this week-end. They are here, not only to rest, but to get first hand information as to the actual road needs in the section. Their coming here is worth dozens of delegations to see them in Raleigh. They are interested in our part of the state, and after they know our problems more thoroughly it will be easier to "do business " It was only recently that much was said about the black widow spider. Probably the fact that they are widows accounts for their activities, which are said to be dangerous. The good prices for tobacco on the Eastern market is encouraging news in this section as the flue-cured market goes, so goes the bur ley. .. If the man goes through with the experi ment of being frozen by the scientists in Cali fornia, we wonder if his wife will list him ai "a frozen asset?" Cornfield Philosophy THE PESSIMIST AN I CITRON IC KICKER Some one has described them as being the "self appointed inspectors of worts and carbunkles, the self supervisors of sewers and street gutter?." There is usually no difference between a pessimist and chronic kicker, the latter being Just a full-grown pessimist. And if the pessimist is not a chronic kicker from the outset, he soon will develop into one: for let a man once bejrin to look on the dark side of every thing and pretty soon he'll b? swearing that white is black that dav-l!ght is utter darkness. So, pessimists, chronic kickers, prophets of gloom whatever you wish to call the breed, they're all one and tne same. . .they talk alike, act alike, and look alike. And since the chronic kickers have a great affinity for one another, we may often see them gathered to gether In little squads. . .passing adverse criticism on everything and everybody from the administration at; Washington down to township constable. It makes no difference their place of abode, these pessimists, wheth er from town, village or hack-woods, once they meet they are soon acquainted and making love to one another. And why not? Are they not self-appointed members in the Brotherhood of Full-Time World Critics? Too bad that every community, rural or urban, has to tolerate one or more of these chronic kickers, the fellow who makes it his business to sit about on street corners, at the court house, the village store or cross-roads, and cuss, lambast and criticise every thing that's being done under high heaven. We have a numb er of them here in Wayr esville. The Relief office and dole has been their standing pet subjects for criticism for the past two years: but now, since the dole is being closed out, I think they have changed to the wet weather what time they are not criticising the cannery. A DK HADED NIGIITMARK A certain Haywood citizen recently had a dream or rather a nightmare, for it was more dreadful and depressing than any; mere dream. lie dreamed that; he had gone somewhere for a little rest. . .and there fore to try to get taxes off of his mind for awhile, when o and behold! the tax collector suddenly appeared at his chosen place for recreation. The tax-payer evaded the collector and went to another quiet corner, but about the time he was beginning to take interest In the birds and flowers the collector re-appeared to show him how many times his name appeared in the delin quent list. And so it was, on and on, until the man awoke with a scream, asking that the tax men be talcen off of him. Well, whenever taxes become so burdensome as to be a nightmare to our citizens they are getting to he quite a. weighty matter. However, this dream can also be Interpreted in another way: It would seem that the tax-payer had been trying to dodge the collector . . .and this he should have known better than try to do. ...'. ''.;'.'........'' Random SIDE GLANCES . By W. CURTIS RUSS Just as the paper was being placed in the 'typewriter lor this column, in walked Colin Mclnnes, from England- Walton Tannery at Hazelwood. With in a few minutes we were discussing the needs of the country, the solu tion to its problems and the ins and outs of all lines ot .business. Before we finished our confabinj:, we were confident we had the key to the situation well in hand but, we have yet to set the price for this in formation, When we get our "price" and divy up, McJnness plans to take a vacation in Scotland, and 1 witl invtfet in pickled pigs feet lor the winter's needs. So, you folks that have been worrying over t'e outcome of things can rest easy now. ... Joe Davis r.pn of Mr. and Mrs Grover. C accomplished an almost unbelievable leat the other day, when he: carried a zO-pound water melon down the street under his arm while nuing a bicycie. Glenn Hoyd and I happened near by when he started off and we were sure that in a few minutes the melon would be all over the street that we followed, but young Davis got to his destination saiely. Mr. Boyd said afterwards that he couldn t eat wa ter melon, anyway, which was the best way to look at the matter. I'll confess that I can and could have eaten some, and for a minute thought I was was going to hav the chance. A couple of days ago, two negro couples were strutting down the street all four dressed ifit to enter an elaborate ball room. They were the center of ibut little attention. A few rninues later the two girls came strutting by, minus their boy friends, and also their dresses one in white shorts, and the other in brown pa jamas what a sight. Now, the brown pajamas blended very nicely with the complexion of the wearer, but the white shorts were too much of a contrast. But what has my curiosity, was where the did the boys go, or why leave . . . were the cirls' sudden change to modernistic clothing too inuen lor tnem .' Have you ever noticed how differ ent people applaud? Down at the take last week I took particular no tice, and not two people out of ten use the sam method. Some use their finfi-er tiDs others the palm others Use Dart of the fingers and part of the paim some applaud like they mean it some like it is a necessary evil some make a noise others a show some take plenty of room for the "swino-" others work just from the wrist out some make about three "clans" and stop others continue on, seemingly just to attract attention some swing both hands others hit the left hnnH with the right-nbut the most common, I observed, was the fingers of the rignt nana clapping into the palm of the left Two-Minute Sermon By Thomas Hast well Right now.

THE HIDDEN TREASURE When the young king Josiah came to the throne in Judah he found that his kingdom had drifted far from the true woiship of Jehovah. His grandfather Manasseh, and his father, Amon, be fore him had deserted the religion of God and turned the temple over to :dols and idol worshipers. Josiah set about at once to restore the true religion. He ordered the temple cleaned up and all the idols and altars carried out and destroyed. Not a trace of idolatry was left. There was no hesitancy, no faltering, no halt ing between two opinions, no com promise. He did a thorough job of housecleaning. The story is told that while the rubbish was being removed from the temple the book of the law was found. It had been covered up and forgotten for many years. How like the lives of many people today. They are filled wih the useless and trivial things and the finer values are fogotten and are hidden in the rub bish and the trash. Josiah might never have discovered the book of the law except for the fact that he choose to clean out the temple and turn his people from the error of their way. The determination to clean up a life often reveals treasures that it was not suspected existed and opens up new horizons of living in every way richer and fuller and more de sirable than the old.
