On the inside pages is a recent state map, with national parks and lakes shown in colors. The outside pages are devoted to color .scenes froom every section of the state, and is so designed as to create a desire of those who read it to tranel into every part of the state. The highway commission was prompted in getting out this piece of advertising on the belief that it would bring into the state hun dreds of motorists, who would necessarily buy gas and spend money in regular channels. Of course, the tax collected on gasoline bought by tourists will many times pay for the cost of jprinting the booklets. A HETTER AND LONGER SEASON The 1936 summer season is opening just about 30 days earlier than it did last year. A large number of boarding houses are now open and have boarders, and last year waited until June 15th, or even later to open. Several homes have already been rented. Several of the summer camps at Lake ,'JunaI'Uska are opening about four weeks sooner this year than last, and the Assembly is open ing to about 1,000 Woodmen of the World for a conference June first. The citizens of this community seemed to be better prepared for summer visitors than they have been in some years. Taking everything into consideration, the prospects are mighty good this year for a bet ter and longer season. ''LONG-WINDED SPEAKERS THING OP PAST A noticeable thing at the Chamber of Com merce banquet last Friday evening was the absence of long, dry talks. No talk was over five minutes, and at that the crowd did not get tired arid restless. The world is living at too fast a pace today to be content to listen to a long dry talk, espec ially on subjects such as most after-dinner speakers make at Chamber of Commerce meet ings. . :'.; We congratulate the arrangement commit tee for changing to the "new order of things." To our way of thinking, a long-winded speaker is now looked on with disgust, rather than admiration. RUINING THE COURT HOUSE LAWN Besides Vhe continued dry weather,: the constant parading on the grass of the court house lawn; by people of every walk of life, from county officials to string band players, has : just about killed the grass in spots. . The lawn cost too much, and looked too beautiful to be abused in; the; way it is being used, when there is no excuse in the world for it, as the sidewalks are plenty wide for all con cerned, '''. ';" ' .'. REGISTRATION ABOVE EXPECTATIONS Election officials are scratching their heads and wondering the why of it all, when they looked over the new registration this week. The registration went above all expectations, and if all vote who registered, some new high figures will be made in the coming elections. The large registration will also put can didates on the go, as they can readily see that there are more people to contact than in prev ious years. . ' CAMPAIGN TEACHING GEOGRAPHY Seldom, if ever, does much good come to the peoople at large from a state election, ex cept, sometimes a good "man is elected. - This year, i however, with four candidates in the race for governor, and with three of them making the hardest fight ever known in North Carolina- political history, there might be some good derived from the campaign. North Carolinians will know more about their- state' -after the election than they now know, because those most interested in the campaign are keeping up regularly with the straw polls !that are being conducted, and in that' way learn the names of some of the 100 North Carolina counties. JYteju.only last week, two of Waynesville's leading- citizens were quite surprised to find that there ia a, county in this state named Wash ington." AiW-for the first time, two others learned that the town of Rokingham was not in Rockingham county. So maybe after all, this campaign is doing more good than some have inclined to think was possible. MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA Theodore McCracken was amazed when ha found he had so many items in stock that were made in North Carolina, that he made a dis play window entirely of "made in North Caro lina merchandise." The same thing would probably hold true if an effort were made to determine just how many.jtjl5p3 -are made or grown in Haywood County that we freely use, yet take whatever is shoved at us. - The old' adage, "Self preservation is the first law of nature," could be interpreted as being: "Buying home products at home is profitable."

CURTIS RUSS LOAL FIRM IN "POST" On page 78 of this week's Saturday Even ing Post there is an advertisement from Er kraft Industries, of this city. As far as we know this is the first Way nesville firm to ever use the Saturday Even ing Post as an advertising medium. Mr Erk has used other national mediums, but this is his first venture into the Post. The bottom of the advertisement carries the firm name and Waynesville in white letters with a black background. MANY TENNESSEE CARS ON ROADS Those who have had occasion to be on Highway' No. 19 during the past few weeks, have been impressed with the large number of cars bearing Tennessee license tags that have passed through Waynesville. The only reasonable explanation for this, seems to be the fact, that a mile or so below Newfound Gap on the Tennessee side, the road is torn up. Great rocks and holes make trav eling hard over a stretch of about two miles. And in order to miss that rough road to get back home, the Tennessee motorists prefer to make the "loop" via Waynesville, Ashevillg and Newport. And after having had a "taste" of Tenn essee roads while under construction, we admire their decision in taking the longer trip. I've played tennis from one end of thig state to the other, and have played on all kind of courts, but to my way of thinking, the courts now under construction at the City Park give promise of being the best yet. They are so arranged that the sun will not be a hindrance n nlnvpr on either court at any time of the day. Besides being in an ideal loca tion, and built to stand fast playing they are large enough. Most courts are too short. Home Demonstration Activities About the prettiest flower garden now in bloom is that of Mrs. J. T, Coman, at Sunset Cottage, Lake Juna luska. Her plot of peonie6 are worth seeing. It so happened, that J. B. Ivey, of Charlotte, the "flower king,"i passed by and paid Mrs. Coman the compliment that the peonies were the most 'beautiful .he had ever seen. And speaking of flowers, Mrs. Joe Tate has a pretty plot in her back yard, and Mrs. U. C. Ferguson has three of the reddest geraniums in her window that I've seen in a long time. ... A DANGEROUS HOLE One of the most dangerous points on any street in Waynesville is the curve on north Main. And just before getting to that curve, there .is a broken place in the pavement over a culvert that is deep enough to cause a car or truck to turn over. Certainly it would not take much to re pair the place and thus save a life or lives and a 'heavy suit against the town, PUTTING DRUNKS IN JAIL During th past few weeks Waynesville' policemen have--' been arresting all those who venture on the streets drunk. Since it is a known fact that drunk persons found on the streets will be lodged in jail they are either staying home or staying sober. ' , . ' HAVE YOU SEEN THE CITY PARK? Those of you who have not visited the city park on' East Street lately, 'have missed some thing. While there is more work to be doiu, there is at present a park that is a credit to this town, and certainly an added asset to this community. If properly brought before, the people, the park will be one of the most popu lar places for summer visitors in the commun ity, v''::":, --.' Reports coming from Eastern Carolina are that the early Irish potato crop there has been cut at least twenty-five per cent. That means a fairly good price for potatoes that are grown in this section. Dr. C. N. Sisk had the misfortune of getting his little finger broken dur ing a soft-ball game recently, and since then has not been able to use his hand to much of an advantage. ho last rriiiay night at the Cham ber of Commerce banquet he asked Mason Swearinger to cut up the ham etc., on his plate. Of course that wa perfectly all right, and Mason was doing a good job, when a stout)" of six or eight saw what Mason was doing and thought it was his plate he was working on, and getting; reatiy to eat, so every one of them started to eat, and just as they were getting "into swing" the gong rang for tne crowd to stand for the invoca tion . They sure looked hacked. Muss Mary Thomas, nutritionist on the staff of extension specialists at State College, will be in Haywood county the second week in June, and probably will attend and demonstrate to some of the local Home Demonstra tion Clubs. It is probable that a lead era sehool for the food leaders of the various clubs will be held while Mies Thomas is in the county. During June Home Demonstration Clubs in Haywood will devote most consideration to vegetables -their place m the family diet for health, economy, and enjoyment's sake. The demonstrations will show good meth ods of cooking to conserve the most food value and the best flavors. Schedule of Home Demonstration Club meetings for June are: June 2, Tuesday, Beaverdam Club I:.'i0 with Mrs. Crom Cole. June 3, Wednesday, Allen's Creek Club 2:00 P. M., with Mrs. Cay Alien. June 4, Thursday, Dell wood Club 2:00 P. M., with Mrs. W. D. Ketner. June 5, Friday; Jonathan Creek Club 2:30 P. M., with Mrs. Troy Leatherwood. June 11, Thursday, Fines Creek Club 2:00 P.

Dorothy Moore and James Coward, two small children, discovered a dis tillery a half mile from their home in Webster last week. They were out walking in the woods near their home in Webster, when a dog fell in an old mining, shaft. The children went in search of the dog and found a com plete distillery hidden under leaves and. brush. They fished it out and carried it to the proper authorities. Each received a reward of $10.00. CARD OF THANKS Women Who Have Pains Try CARDUI Next Time! On account of poor nourishment, many women suffer functional pains t curtain times, and It Is for thes that Cardul la offered on the record of the safe relief It has brought and the good It has done In helping to overcome the cause of womanly discomfort. Mrs. Cole Young, of teesvllle, La., writes: "I was suffering with irregular ... I had quite a lot of pain whloh made me nervous. I took, Cardul and found It helped me In every way, making me regular and stopping the pain. This quieted my nerves, making my health much better." ... If Cardul does not benefit TOD, consult a physician. We wish to express our heart-felt thanks for the sympathy and service of our neighbors during the illness and death of our husband and father, Jake Underwood. We especially de sire to thank the doctors and nurses, at the Haywood County Hospital for their faithful attention.

Kirkpatrick holds the title of being the best "applaudeif' in Haywood county, and as far I know, in the state. Jack Messer comes forth with a good political yarn, and certainly one that is most timely. A group was discussing the promises and platforms that the different candidates for gov ernor had been telling over the state, and how some of the candidates dif fered in quoting figures regarding state expenditures and sources of in come.
