WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FASHION SHOW To date we have not heard of the Library treasurer being ovei'-hurdenod with a surplus of monev with which to operate. While several worthwhile plans have been made to raise money for the Library, it seems that at this time, it would be fitting, and no doubt profitable, to staL'e a fashi in show here. Certainly a small admission would be will ingly paid by a larg:1 number, and the merchants participating could benefit from the showing of the garments displayed. A well-planned fashion; show is always beneficial' to. the merchant, and entertaining as well a- enlightening, to the audience and in this particular instance, would be profitable to the Library. We fVel that one of the several civic women's org'uii2ati.'hrf' here could well sponsor such an attraction to a good advantage. A MICKY HREAK FOR W. N. C. A a general rule. Weslt rn North Carolina follows e!osely in the footsteps of Florida. When Florida wont "hog-wild" over real estate, it wasn't lung before this section was just as wild. When Florida'. boom .went up. the same thinir happened m "The Land of the Sky." A short time ago Florida decided (hat fiorse racing and open gambling would brine" huge profits to the state mot especially i?v . the resort towns. The race tracks were install ed. The gimbler.-s moved in. Several Western North Carolina counties about the same time had similar laws pass ed by their: legislators following in the foot .slep.s of Floi ida. Some of the business men fe'l for the id -a.. Others were slow to express an opinion. Hot, 'he matter was delayed by some of the counties Haywood did while others went ahead. To i -y, look at the picture in Florida. Busi ness men there scratching their heads and won dering why in the world they ever advocated gambling. From authorative sources, we learn, that the legitimate business is suffering worse than at the peak of the depression, just because people are spending their monev at the race (rack.-, in vetd ,jf tin nigh lvgular channels - f trade. Fortunately, Western North Carolina wjis a little slow in getting the idea across. If we arc wise to the way of the world, we will lock at the "licking" Florida is taking right now, and thank our lucky stars that we never got nearer horse-racing than to have the right to estab lish it. PEDDLED SEED At this time of year, it is not unusual to have flower seeds, garden seeds, field seeds and every kind of seed offered one for sale. Nine times out of ten the seeds offered via the ped dler are not known brands, or packed by reliable houses. Few things are more disappointing to the gardener, or farmer than for crops or flower beds to fail to grow and flourish. By planting seeds that will germinate and grow is the best assurance that they will grow. Unless seed are bought from reliable deal ers, the chances are you will be disappointed before the season is over. WHY NOT EAR-MARK THE MONEY Since the directors of the Chamber of Commerce have not met as thi.s is being writ ten to decide on next year's work, we have one suggestion to make, which follows up the thought of last week that of those who profit the most contributing the least, and in mos' instances complaining the loudest. Why wouldn't it be wise to let each con tributor designate on a pledge card to just what fund or work they would like to have each dol lar spent? That would automatically determine the budget, which is a problem for the board. With each dollar ear-marked, it would be a rather simple matter to carry out in detail the wishes of those who contribute sufficient funds to keep the organization active and out of debt. We realize that such action would be rather drastic, but at the same time it would be fair, and at. least considerate of those who do make the major contributions. Perhaps we are all wrong on this entire subject, but if we are, there are certainly doz ens of others just as wrong, as they expressed themselves as whole-heartily endorsing our editorial of last week. THE OLD HOME TOWN by STANLEY DEFYING NATURE In Chicago recently, a man 75-years-old continued his morning . walk in the nude while the thermometer hovered around zero. About the same time, a father in Washington, D.. C, gave his 5-months-oId baby a snow-bath, stating to police who were called by neighbors to intervene, that the snow would toughen the baby. We fail to see that defying the laws of na ture in such a way can be considered the best of judgment. 23 Years Ago!

This week, those who sponsored the bill in the last session of the legislature, came forth with the statement that when a person is elec trocuted that the body is left rigid -in fact r is often necessary for the undertaker to break the bones in the body in preparation for burial. They also say that bodies after electrocution are often burned in places. The lethal gas, they maintain, leaves the body natural, which makes it easier on the family Those favoring the gas chamber also point out that within .'10 seconds after-the gas iii turned on the vicl im is gone. Of course, nothing can be done -about . it until next January when another session of thj legislature meets, but We are of the opinion that several efforts will be made to abolish th gas chamber, while those bitterly opposed to capital -punishment will also come in for abol ishing both the electric chair and the ras cham ber. : Random SIDE GLANCES By W. CURTIS RUSS The speaker scheduled to give the program at the Rotary Club last Fri day suddenly took sick, and a tem porary program had to be arranged hurriedly. It fell on the shoulders of William "Slim" Medford and myself to see that the time wasn't wasted, so we hit upon ..this plan. At the. end of the. meal, "Slim" was called to the door by a waitress. He fitayed a minute, then came back with a long face and a prepkxing problem. Briefly, lie told or a negro, from Boston, that was outside,, and wanted to attend the meeting. The negro had presented a duly sighed Rotary card which entitled him to attend the meeting. TRANSACTIONS IN Real Estate (As Hit'orcleil t Monday Noon of i lili Week), pa pa n THE MOVING HAIUT Pel haps nobody is more impressed with the large number of people who make it a habit to move at least once each year than the news paper publisher. That impression is gained from the fact that a large per cent of the sub scribers change their address around the first of each year. For us there has always been a tinge of sadness when we see so many people moving about from place to place, for we know that it brings about more or less hardship on the fami lies of those who move so frequently. This does not apply to all tenant farmers, however, for many of them live contentedly and, in many instances, as well as their landlords. Frequent moving develops into a habit on the part of many. Writing about "Moving Time for Ten ant Farmers" in a recent issue of The Raleigh Xcws and Observer, Clary Thompson pictures it a follows: "January gray : skies bare trees frost encrusted country roads "Tinkling of trace-chains and the rumbl ing of wagons loaded with bedsteads and old stoves, guano sacks filled with pots and pans, a bucket or two jangling over the coupling pole, bedticks filled with straw, a. bundle of broom-, -straw hanging over a wheel, an old stovepipe careening crazily, "Up at the front on a bundle of goods with the lines hanging loose in his hands, the head of the family, looking dully ahead, issuing an occasional cluck to his mule. Crouched beside him, his wife, features warped and wrinkled and worn, yet evidencing a vestige of bloom that had been old before her time, shivering', with back to the wind to protect a three-months babe. Crouching between the two with an old red boggan pulled low over his ears sits the three-year-old and the remaining three or four de scendants of the progenitor are cached in con venient comers of the load." Sampson Inde pendent Bo Huff; hud been tipped oif as to what was going to happen, quickly got to his feet to object. Before he Kt all hi.s objections put over, Barker (iay --also tipped oil" rose to move that the negro be duly accepted by the club, anil that a meal bL- served the northern colored man. Before Parker took his .- :s: , others tried to' get l.hc flour obj.ceti.nsJ. some fav.o ing the heing recognized. evei a. siime negro At least half a dozen propositions were made one was to have a com mittee inform the negro that he could listen in on the progi-am, anl have his meal in the kitchen.

The question is, Rcsolvi-d that the constitution of North Caro lina should be so amended as to a : mit women voters on the same quai-U ncation as men. A correspondent from Fontana ti the Bryson City Times, says that lxo: leggers or moonshiners, or both arc having things their own way in that part of the county lately. The Waynesville Dramatic Club w;L present the second annual minstrel at the academy hall next Monday night. This show will far surpass tiie "iu they frave a year ago as the club ha. been strengthened by the addition vf several excellent voices.

''Slim "and I were trying to preside as. best we could without .showing any signs of guilt, but it was a tough job. One member . looked -around1 the room to find that if the supposed guest was given a place at the table that it would bp the vacant next to him, so he got up and moved to the other side of the room. : For 21 , minutes the argument con tinued. The matter was not disposed of until after Dr. R. S, Truesdale, pas tor of the (Methodist church and Rev. II. W. Baucom, pastor of the Baptist church, had given a -'spiritual slant" on the subject. "S'iim" then got up and explained that . the scheduled speaker was sick, and that the gen eral discussion in which every mem ber had expressed himself. Was the program. There was no negro. Then it was that the four of us who were in on the thing got our first laugh. Of all the expressions you ever saw. One member in particular, actually gasped for breath.. Beaverdam Township Dr. H. A..

Some even quoted Abraham Lincoln, others took an international viewpoint. The whole affair will never be told aj interestingly, or as impressive as it really happened, but there is this much about vt every member ex pressed an opinion, and a sincere opinion at that. So after all, a 21 minute program of such discussions really make good programs. The only thing that worries me now is -that sooner or later "Slim" and I will have to pay and pay dearly for that "very practical program. ' The truth of the matter is that "Slim" has already paid, in that he missed most of his dessert, by havr ing to answer the fake call.

The average citizen loses about 7 days every year due to illness, which corresponds to a loss of ten per cent in useful occupation and to this must be added the cost on medical attention and hospital service, representing a total expense of $10.00 per capita or over a billicn dollars a year. Much serious illness with its resulting expense could be avoided if people would consult their doctor BEFOKE a disease becomes chronic, or better still if they would have periodic health examinations, even when there is nothing APPARENTLY wrong. There's no substitute for GOOD HEALTH. Don't neglect this priceless asset.
