ARE YOU INTERESTED?
Opinions, based on facts, indicate that this
year will be one of much activity for those who
cater to tourists. Those who have studied the
prospectvS for a good season are encouraged and
feel that some new records will be broken for
crowds.
One of the most important things regard
ing the tourist business or any other line of
community activity ia the co-operation of every
one, and a general understanding of the pro
gram that the community at large adopts.
The one organization that outlines such a
"program, and acts as a clearing-house and car
ries out all constructive ideas is the Chamber
of Commerce. This year several major chang
es have been made in the organization. Many
plans have been made, and some real work al
ready accomplished, even before final organiz
ing has been completed.
This week the annual 'banquet of the orga
nization will be held. Because of the late date,
the program calls for a ban on long winded
speakers. In fact, the banquet will be the an
nouncing of a program whidh has been in the
making for months.
This pmgram will be presented at the ban
quet, and those who are interested in the grow
th and progress of the community will make
every effort to attend. Your attendance will
signify to what extent you are interested.
WORKTHE REST PASTIME
Several hundred old couples receiving ai l
from the New York State Welfare Department
have been .questioned by investigators as to
what they wanted most for contentment. .
It is interesting to note that the majority
of .them, wanted WORK. Health, children, and
comfortable home together all these were held
important rtjut these aged men and women
missed USEFUL WORK more tlhan anything
(else. They thought the period from twenty-five
to forty-five years of age, when they were
busiest, was the best part of their lives.
If you-are. disposed to rebel at the daily
grind, as all are at times, you might rememb
er how the old folks feel about, looking back.

THE NEW REGISTRATION
Attention is called to the fact that Satur
day, May 23rd, is the last day on which voters
wishing to participate in the June primary may
register, A law passed in the 1935 session of
the Legislature made it necessary that a new
registration be held in this county before the
June primary.
It takes only a minute to register, but
that minute is absolutely necessary if you care
to cast your ballot on June 6th.
THE NAMELESS KIND
Some people mean well, but never do well.
They are always intending to do something
that never gets done.
Instead of taking a just pride in accom
plishment, they are continually humiliated by
the inadequacy of their excuses.
They do not even drift with the tide of
humanity, but are simply switched into the ed
dies of life.
For them there is a beginning, and an end,
but nothing in between.
They have neither true friends nor bitter
enemies, because they do nothing to inspire
either friendship or enmity.
They are nameless, because no man is su
fficiently interested to name them. Ex.
TWENTY YEARS OLD
This month marks the twentieth anniver
sary for Martin Electric Cdmpany. There is
quite a distinction in having passed 20 years of
continuous business in the electrical field, and
most especially in a community of this size.
Twenty years ago electricity did not" play
the important part in our every-day lives as it
does today, and it was in such a time that Paul
and Fred Martin established and laid the foun
dation of a business that is today one of the
largest of its kind in this section of the state.
While their expansion in business has been
of a conservative nature, they have never fail
ed to take advantage of any new ideas or meth
ods that have been presented in their line, and
for that reason their business has kept pace
with the rapid, and ever-changing electrical
business.
Only recently they installed a section to
their plant for making Neon signs. Few towns
four times the size of Waynesville have such
places, but Martin Electric. Company saw the
opening for such a business and quickly took
advantage of the opportunity that had present
ed itself.
Not only have the two brothers devoted
a lot of time and energy to their business, but
also to civic and patriotic activities.
Sincere congratulations are offered to such
a progressive firm, on their 20th birthday.
THE DIONNES IN BUSINESS
In tJhe Dionne quintuplets the world has
perhaps for the first time on record a case in
which babes in arms have pensioned the old
folks, for in addition to constituting a wonder
of medical science the five kiddies must be
classed as "big business."
Under the guardianship of Ontario, the
quintuplets have become worth $24,000 each,
and it appears likely that in about two years
their combined wealth will reach $300,000. This
is in addition to the payment for all current
expenses and for the hospital in which they
live. An allowance is being made to their par
ents. The famed Dionnes have appeared in the
movies, being currently seen in Morgan ton in
their first cinema adventure. Royalties have
been received from dolls, coats, bonnets, calen
dars, and postcards.
But while Ontario may point with pride to
its success in handling the affairs of the sisters,
the Boston Transcript observes that the busi
ness is one in whidh there has been no compe
tition. What would have happened had there
been rival quintuplets nobody can say. The
government of Ontario has enjoyed a monopoly,
but it appears to have wisely improved its op
portunity.. Morganton News-Herald.

"POKE SALLET"
Did you ever try a mess of poke greens?
The Progressive Farmer gives a standard recipe
for this spring delicacy which may be found
in abundance at this season:
"It tastes best if gathered when the shoots
are mere buds but can be stemmed and used
after the leaves have grown larger. It is cook
ed like the other greens, except that it must be
parboiled a short time to rid it of a strong, ob
jectionable odor. Old-time Negro cooks combin
ed the poke with shallots or with young onions,
and this is the way they did it:
"Parboil the poke until about half tender,
then drain off and put in an iron frying pan
with just a little water. Pour over it the fat
fried out from half a pound of salt pork or ba
con (less if your 'mes o' greens' is small), Cook
until very tender and the liquid is all cooked
into the greens. Cut up a bunch of young shal
lots, tops and all; add to the greens and cook
until shallots are done, keeping tightly cover
ed and if necessary adding water."

DIVERSIFICATION
May be a good thing for the farmer, but it is our belitf
that the majority of modern drug stores have "too many
irons in the fire. After all, the first duty of a drug store
is the compounding of prescriptions and at Alexander's
we have always kept that fact continually in mind. We'll
leave the "diversifying" to others and just stick to our
knitting.
