This, of course, is only natural, because the Lake means more to this community than it does to any other one center. From the last reports, there remains about $72,000 of the $105,000 debt to be paid before August 15th. This date is the last minute that the Lake can make satisfactory arrangements with the mortgage holders, under the agree ment made by the late Judge John M. Oglesby several months ago. While the Lake is having the best season in years, the $105,000 must be paid by August 15th, or the sale of foreclosure will be confirm ed, according to the agreement made in court before the formal 1930 season opened. It is needless to try to enumerate the hun dreds of advantages of the Lake to this com munity. That has been gone into many times. It is a fact, however, that in many instances, Lake, -Junaluska is far better known than is Waynesville. If the latest reports contain all the amounts that have been subscribed to the debt , fund, it seems that the RIehodists in different parts of the state and the South, have been somewhat slow in responding to the pleas of their leaders. But why should, not the remainder of the state and south be -somewhat slow, when the folks right here at home all denominations have been 'even' slower in responding than those who live hundreds of miles away? While we have every reason to believe, and the utmost confidence in the enlire Methodist church, that the debt will be paid by August loth, we do feel that this community should have taken the leadership in subscribing to tly debt fund. It is not too late yet for a substantial sub scription to be donated by this community. The Chamber of Commerce is donating a subscrip tion of $25. There are scores of citizens here who will contribute liberally to the debt fund, and certainly it will be a goo2 investment for this community. -;.V.-;. DANGEROUS -Hitch hikers seem to be on the increase as the tourist season gets better; Not that the hitch hikers are tourists, or that tourists are hitch hikers, but a glance down any main highway Will prove that there are plenty of "thumbers" on the road. While all hitch hikers are not dangerous, there are still plenty of them that will stoop to any level for a little money, or even a chanee to get money. Some people make it a habit to pick up all "thumbers" they pass. Other mo torists pass up all who ask a ride via the thumb. To our mind, the latter is the much safer plan. One man boasts of the fact that he never picks up any one unless he has his pistol in the seat next to him. While a pistol under such circumstances would be some protection at times, there are times when it would prove worthless. Then, too, who would want to drive along feeling that at any minute he would have to use his pistol for protection against a strang er? - We still feel that the safest plan for the motorist is to pass thumbers up. The Junior high school building and the new stadium is giving the high school grounds the appearance of a small college plant. The layout is one that this community may well feel proud of. In fact, there are not many such plants in the state. METHODISTS MUST SAVE JUNALUSKA Lake Junaluska, known as the summer capitol of southern Methodism, may cease to be the center of the program of this church if sufficient funds to liquidate the indebtedness confronting Junaluska fails to be collected by August 15. Around this attractive 250-acre lake in the heart of the mountains in Western North Carolina, unique assembly grounds have been built. An educational building, a mission build ing have been erected, and an auditorium seat ing 3,500 persons is the meeting place for Sun day School workers' conferences, Young Peo ple's conferences, Missionary conferences and other group meetings which are attended by young people and adults from throughout the South. The influence of these conferences is tremendous. Duke University conducts a six weeks summer school there each summer; and Chautauqua features provide varied entertain ment for those who sojourn in thi3 delightful spot during the summer. With the knowledge that the property was endangered by debt, the College of Bishops meeting in Nashville, Tenn., in May recom mended that some preacher be released from his pastorial duties until the annual Confer ence in order to devote his full time to direct ing a movement to pay off the debt and insure the continuance of Lake Junaluska as the Meth odist Assembly grounds. The recommendation was acted upon and a North Carolinian, Dr. W. A. Lambeth of High Point was selected for the job. Dr. Lambeth is appealing to Methodists east of the Mississippi River to contribute to this cause. Large contributions will be wel come, as was a gift of $5,000 from an incognito friend announced last week, but the plan is for all Methodists to share in this undertaking by contributing a small sum each. It has been a happy privilege of the edi tor to attend several religious educational con ferences or training schools at Lake Junaluska as well as to spend short vacations there, and there is no more delightful place to go to for inspiration and instruction in carrying on one's religious tasks. Junaluska is an indispensible force for furthering the work of the church program and Methodists in Johnston county who respond to Dr. Lambeth's appeal will be investing in a worth while religious enterprise. Herald, Smithfield. A BURDEN TO LAY DOWN In the easy, lolling, sun-parlor psychology that is resurgent through American society today, it would be well and wise for parents to coax their children into reading the biographies of the great individual successes of all time. Those of the Americans of old as well as those of today. They all tell the same story to-wit, that achievement comes to men through only one course of action, that of courage and of pers erverance coupled always with the process of hard work. Hard work is never popular with the mas ses. It's a burden that the most of us are always ready to lay down. But it's the open sesame to distinction, to what men call success, to personal achievement and renown. Charlotte Observer. SAFE DRIVING RULES Following are ten rules for safe driving offered by the president of one of the nation's leading auto factories, which he believes would if observed, allow the average American moto rist to venture forth on the highway with con fidence of almost certain safety: 1. Never overtake a car unless you are positive there is ample space ahead; that means, of course, never on a curve or a hill. 2. Slow down when approaching all inter sections, including private driveways, and thus have your car under complete control and pre pared to stop. 3. Slow down when approaching any child or pedestrian and thus be prepared for any un expected movement. . 4. Keep your brakes and lights, in fact your entire car, in good condition, as safe a condition as when it was new. 5. Stop on red traffic signals and stay stop ped until the light has turned green. Rushing signals invite disaster. '.- 6. Come to a dead stop at stop signs be cause the other fellow has the right of way. 7. If you have been drinking don't drive. Of course, you believe you are sober, but the evi dence is all against sober drivers who have been drinking. 8. Slow down to compensate for slippery streets caused by rain, snow or ice. 9. Slow down when driving at night. There is no substitute for daylight when it comes ta visibility. 10. Always drive at a speed which will permit you to stop within the assured clear distance ahead. If you don't get in a jam, you won't have to get out of one.

In the fust paragraph, they left out a line which changed the entire meaning of the yarn, which was about a veteran and how he spent his money. Since it was a copied yarn from another paper, I am giving it again, with the sincere hope that all lines will be left intact until the page gets on the presti. This particular veteran had $-!00. He spent $50 for liquor, another $50 for women. Then it took $50 to get out of jail. The ta.st $50, he said, was spent foolishly. Hugh Leatherwood was one of those attending the state meeting of i oung Democrats in Greensboro re cently during the extreme hot weath er, tie saul he '.drank so much ice water arid ate so much cracked ie during the convention to keep cool that he can t look an ice man straight in the face.

He ooked down for a minute, rubbing his chin, and then in his witty man ner, said: "Well, I don't know about that. I figure the Lord just came to the conclusion that folks were not going to do anything about paying the preachers and just sent the rain anyhow." W. Curtis Russ, Editor The Mountaineer, Waynesville, N. C. My dear Mr. Russ: Lake Junaluska is an integral, and a vital part of this community. Com mercially speaking from the view point of the business men of Way nesville, it is an important element. As the Summer Capitol of Metho dism, it is an important drawing card, attracting as it does every season, thousands of people to this se.-tion. This month the future status of I-ake Junaluska as an institution is to be determined. A drive is under way to raise $105,000 necessary to hold the property in the hands of the church. The call has been issued. Generally it has been directed to members of the church over the Southland. However, for Haywood county, it is not a church nutter. It's a busi iness proposition. It's the business of the Chamber of Commerce. It's your business and mine. It's worth money to every firm in the commu nity to place Junaluska in a posi tion to operate vigorously. The at tached resolution of the Chamber of Commerce represents the position of the Board of Directors in the matter: We recommend that every firm and individual in the .pmmunity should contribute as liberally aK possible. Helping this cause is not a contribu tion to charity. It is an investment in your own business. Waynesville and Hazelwood must respond. Very truly yours, CHAS. E. RAY, JR., President.

The story as carried jn last week's paper about Fred Ferguson catching a 2t-inch trout in Cataloochie, was read with more interest by Tom Rain er than anyone else. As you proba bly know, Tom is an ardent fisherman, and takes his fishing seriously. When he read the story he remarked: "For four years I have been feeding that trout the best kind of bait. I'm sur prised that he wae not longer than 20 inches. I've fed him enough bait for him to have been at least 30 inches." .
