Hazel wood and Lake Junaluska in an effort to stimulate buying at home. Trade-at-home campaigns are not new. They have been staged time and time again, and at this time with good roads and fast cars, tlm trend to "shop away from home" has grown to such proportions that it has become serious. For the most part, those who trade away from home would never do so if they would reason it out for themselves and think of the seriousness of it. There are entirely too many people who take it for granted that such and such an article cannot be found at home. By taking such far-fetched ideas for granted, they spend extra time and money getting the same things away from home. In some instances this excess trading away from home has been due to the failure of the merchants in letting the public know that mer chandise can be had right at home, just as good and just as cheap as in other places. The mer chants, then have taken too much for granted, in thinking that people know what is on their shelves. The buying public don't know unless they're told. The time has come when both parties must stop taking things for granted. The mer chants must tell what they have to sell and for what price, and the people of the community should accept these messages and exhaust every effort to fill their needs here before carrying money away from here to enrich another com munity. Think this over. A BLESSING IN DISGUISE! Ever since the beginning of time man has made progress, although some in every genera tion reluctantly gave way to it. Today, ac cording to the best of historians, more progress is being made than at any other period, yet there are some people who are trying to stand in the way of progress, knowing that sooner or later that they will be crushed underneath the march. Why these folks can't see the hand-writing on the wall and step in line is mere than we can understand, yet they might rightfully be termed a "blessing in disguise," because if it were not for them the wheels of progress might pick up speed to attain such a rapid pace that even those who now seem to be leaders in the march would be left behind. When a squirrel meets a nut he eats it. When we meet one we have to talk to them and be nice, and if on the road we have to take to the embankment. Unless we miss our guess, the Jonathan Creek road will soon become the speed-way of the county. It is a long straight level road right through one of the best sections of the county. The road will be worth much to the people living in that community, but it will also be used extensively by those who want to find out how much their new cars will do. And we don't believe we'll miss our guess far. HAYWOOD SHOULD GO OVER QUOTA The Red Cross Roll Call for the Haywood County Chapter will get underway next Monday morning. Efforts will be made to get 225 mem berships. This is a comparatively small quota for a county that has escaped storms, droughts and disease epidemics, while other sections of the country, even adjoining counties, have suffered loss of property, health and even lives, from calamaties. The Red Cross ventures to go and render aid where the average person would shun, therefore, it seems most fitting that Haywood County go beyond her quota this year towards helping suffering humanity. Half of the funds raised remain at home, which is another reason why the goal should be reached easily. "HOARDED UP" FOR WINTER : Again this week, a former resident of this town, made the remark: "One has to live awav frcm here and come back to really appreciate this section of the country." Those who go away and come back are al most unanimous in that statement, yet so few that remain here year in and year out seem to take that statement at face value. We are taking too much for granted when we believe that the world knows as much about us as we ourselves do. Only this week a busi ness man received a letter, in which an execu tive in North Carolina remarked, "I presume that Waynesville has 'boarded up' for the win ter, and that very few people are living there during this season of the year." That man's impression of Waynesville was that it is strictly a summer resort town, and like the beaches, "board up" in the fall until next spring. And anyone who knows Waynes ville, is aware of the fact that business here in the winter is as good or better than in many other towns the same size. And after all, we can't blame people for getting the impression which the man above had. It is our fault. And our idea is that we should advertise Waynesville and community twelve months in the year and not just for the short summer season. Then why should this community be known as a summer resort, when nowhere in the coun try can you find a more ideal climate than right here? The weather we've had this fall is what thousands are seeking. So instead of making plans in the future just for the summer folks, we are of the firm opinion that we will be doing just one-fourth of the job if we don't seek to make this a twelve-months place to live, and "sqush" this misleading idea that we "board up" in the winter A DEPRAVED TASTE You know when a circus strikes a town the grown-ups usually have an excuse for attend ing the show. The excuse many adults frame up is they have to take the children to see the animals. From Brisbane's column it is evident that many business meetings of important cor porations over the nation were scheduled to meet in New York City on the very day of the big fight. Doubtless the fixing of the date for the business meetings was arranged so to con tact the "big show" the Louis-Baer fight. But it is all in a life time so why speculate? We condemn such brutality of the other nations, but give approval to pugilistic contests by swel ling the gate receipts to one million dollars for a nauseating pastime of one-half hour. Any mule if properly trained or untrained could kick a man senseless in less time than you can speak. Wherein is the charm to see one man knock another out smeared with his own blood? It is hard to see why such should be tolerated as sport, and wrong if any are maimed in a hold-up. It is brutality in either case. The incentive in either instance is the dollar. Ex. WHY DOGS LIKE MEN What endears a dog to a man? Well, frankly, the primary appeal is through the stomach. That's dogand not so far removed frcm human nature. Being dependent on man for food and care, whether in the tropics or Arctic, ancient Peking or Park Avenue, a dog naturally attaches himself to the hand that feeds him. But that is not the whole story. The master may be poor, and the cupboard may be as bare as old Mother Hubbard's but the fire of devotion in the dog, once aflame, will glow like a bright and steady light; He does not seek a master when adversity and1 poverty strike the old. Alone among animals of the earth, he has selected man as his master and friend. David E. Buckingham, consulting veterinarian, Byrd 1928 Exposition, in the Rotarian Magazine. This much can be said for the depression. It brought out the best in good men, and the weaknessess of others. The industrious man has become more industrious, and the lazy more so.' .

CURTIS RUSS The following- conversation actu ally took place last Friday at the football game, between one of W ay nes ville's best known citizens and his eight-year-old son. -. - Hello, Dad." "Hey, there son." How did you get in? You didn't have any money, did you? ' "No, sir. I crawled under the fence. I just g'Jt it- What is the score?" "Neither team his scored." ''Say, dad, what quarter is this?" ; "There's just a few more minutes left in the half. "You mean the half is almost over ; "Y'es, son. Just about a minute left." . "Well, if I had waited just that minute I could have gotten in free." Outside of that episode, other in teresting moments were seeing Rob ert Stretcher climb the fence to get the ball after 11 trial for extra point, and watching J. R. Boyd and Dr. Tom Stringfield walking up and down the side lines wondering why the Way nesville team couldn't make the nec essary six inches in three tries to cross the goal. Seen on the street Saturday: Two young men in the back of a coupe with the top propped up with a stick looks dangerous for rough road traveling . . . two old women sitting on the running board of a car eating bananas .... Emmett Balen tine and Hugh Leatherwood crack ing and eating pecans . . . . two farmers exchanging dips of snuff. . . a young couple unaware of onlookers holding hands in the back seat of a car in front of Denton's Hardware . . a well known street urchin trying to roll an apple from the basket full in front of Moody's store ... he failed the second time and then his nerve failed him. . . There is nothing, as cordial as the greeting of two people from the coun try who have not seen each other for a long time. The crowds still gather at the depot to see the trains "come in." In Wisconsin, where they produce so much cheese and butter, there is a law that all public eating places must serve a half ounce of butter and an ounce of cheese with each meal, thus creating a demand right at home. There is a liquor store in Landrum, South Carolina, two miles south 01 Tryon. The town itself could never support a liquor store, because it is just a wide place in the road. Some dry Tar Heels might hang around and see some of their group patronizing the place. Heard a man say recently that pol iticians don't think, that they just listen to public sentiment and then follow. Now he migh be right, but how does he account for all the nice things they can say about a voter the week before election if they don't think. Another addition of unnecessary "double words" has come in via Wil liam Hannah, when he tells of his favorite meal consisting of country hog ham. In the Red Cross section of today's paper, is a picture of three fathers getting instructions on how to care for the baby of the home. They are a helpless looking group, and I guess they are. From somewhere we got the story of a boy who entered a drug store and said to the druggist: 'Gimme a dime's worth of assafoe- tida." The storekeeper tied up the pack age and the boy said: "Dad wants you to charge it." "All right, what'3 your name?" "Schermerhorn." "Take it for nothing," he said.
