Sor mis North Carolina i--V 'PttSi ASSOCIATION v THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1936 HIGHWAY NUMBER 209 The widening of Highway No. 209 as far as the Crabtree postoffice is one of the biggest public improvements to be made in that sec tion of the county for many years. Highway 209 passes through one of the most fertile and progressive sections of Hay wood County, and certainly a wide, improved road through that section is in keeping with the progress which the citizens of that area have shown during the past. At present, work has gone as far as the Crabtree postoffice. Now that it has started, no let-up should be made until the road is grad ed, widened and paved all the way to Spring Creek. While Spring Creek is in Madison coun ty, this is their logical trading center provided Highway No. 209 is put into condition for them to get here. Work' on.-Highway No. 284 towards Bre vard is being pushed now, and will.be ready for surfacing in the near future for about five .or more miles. Work on the Jonathan Greek road is also underway, and will be surfaced soon. '.. With the Kines Creek road improved, the Brevard 'road and Jonathan Creek roads paved, this will give a good road leading into Way nesville from every section of the county. Since work is already underway on the other roads, ir seems that the entire county would do well to turn the spotlight on the Fines Creek Road (Highway 209) until it is paved all the way to Spring Creek. ONLY WOMEN? Women will do all the smoking not very many years from now, says a Creighton college bichemist. Dr. Victor Levine. Men, "a perverse lot," will come to believe that smoking is effe minate and give it up, he predicts! At one time smoking was strictly a man's prerogative, Dr. Levine points out. But so was the use of perfume, he adds. "In the reign of Queen Elizabeth Parliament passed a law forbidding women to use perfume because it was feared there would not be enough for both sexes'. A modern is inclined to comment that the men of three or four centuries ago bathed too seldom. But the women ignored the law, used more and more perfume. Men practically leased' using it. A generation ago almost no women smoked now look at them. We would remind Dr. Levine that a very few centuries ago men "did" their hair beautifully,: women were con tent to wear theirs straight. Think of what happened. It is an interesting theory Dr. Levine holds, and many will consider it logical. McDowell News. ness. BEST THINGS The Best Law The Golden Rule.

Selected. ..... --.a ra ADVANCED AGRICULTURE IDEAS BEING PUT INTO USE The farm tour of last Friday was a suc cess from every standpoint. The 125 making the tour, and the 375 others that joined in at Fines Creek for the program, were well repaid for their efforts and the time spent that day. One of the most noticeable outgrowths of the day was the attitude of the farmers toward each other. Several years ago farmers looked upon each other as bitter competitors. Today they look to each other for suggestions and new ideas. At every farm that a stop was made, we heard on every hand, one farmer asking another questions on different subjects, and how he had met with certain problems. There existed a spirit of co-operation that did not exist several years ago. There are so many problems that the farm ers have to go up against, that they seem to be seeking the advice of those who have suc cessfully conquered such problems rather than experiment too extensively themselves. The farmer today values time more than ever. The leading farmers are busy men, and don't have any time to waste. Among the newer problems which the average farmer is most interested, is terrac ing, stopping erosion,' pasture fertilization and pure bred stock. It is well that leading farm ers throughout the county are experimenting under the direction of the county agent on these things, and as a result are passing on to all who ask, just the results. A number of the older farmers, in the county have been contacted during the past few days, and every one agreed that Haywood County farmers are working together better, and accomplishing more than at any time in their memory. While all the farm problems have not been satisfactorily solved, it is encouraging to know that there are farmers in this county that are far above the average farmer in the state, who are working untiringly to solve the problems. We feel that Haywood farmers are far above the average in many thingsand with this spirit of interest in their neighbor's work at a new high level, there is certainly in store a new day, for agriculture in this county. IDLE GOSSIP CAN BECOME A REALITY Those in charge of the "Save Junalusk.i Campaign" found at the last minute that the required $105,000 needed to pay the first mort gage was short about $22,000. The extension of sixteen additional days, which gives until September first, for the $22,000 to be raised, proves that the mortgage holders are only in terested in getting their money instead of the property. Certainly the thousands of Methodists in the South who benefit from the advantages of Lake Junaluska will not let a mere $22,000 stand in the way of losing the Lake. We feel that the mortgage holders have gone as far as can be expected of them, in voluntarily giving a 16-day extension. It proves they are interested in only one thing that of getting their money. Ever since the campaign was started, gossiping tongues have spread rumors that the mortgage holders were seek ing by every hook or crook to get the property back because some other denomination had offered a fabulous sum for the holdings. Other rumors have been that a syndicate amusement company had entered attractive bids for the place, and that "The Coney Island of the South would be built at the Lake." . The action of the mortgage holders proves beyond any doubt that such rumors were of the wildest nature. The mortgage holders have done their part, and have done even more than was legally required. Now, if the Methodists of the South fail to raise the needed $22,000 to pay off the debt, the sympathetic mortgage holders would have a perfect right to make a reality out of the stories that thus far has been mere idle gossip. THE OLD HOME TOWN by STANLEY LIGHT OPERA SUCCESSFULLY GIVEN The business office at Lake Junaluska re ported that four thousand people saw the comic opera "Pinafore" last Saturday night. A num ber of people were turned away because of the lack of space. The comments on the presentation of the famous English comic opera have been most favorable, and the Waynesville Choral Club, and all those co-operating should feel proud of the success with which the entertainment met. Much credit is due Evander Preston, the able director of the light opera, for the suc cess attained. , Because of the outstanding success, the directors of the club have decided to present it again next Wednesday night at the high school auditorium. It is our belief that many who saw this light opera at the Lake last Saturday will be among those present at an expected packed house next Wednesday evening. . TUB AloL.(7 WILL.

CURTIS RUSS Last week I turned my face to ward.s the farms of Haywood county, and joined in on the Farm Tour and now I am ready for another just like it. If you did not go, you missed a lot. I started off by taking a Mr. Miller and his friend, a Mr. Gresham, both of Greenwood, S. C, to the Leop ard and Francis farms. Those two South Carolinians were so carried away with this section that they were in the notion of buying a farm and moving up here, and leaving their fertilizer business in South Carolina. That explains their interest in see ing the farms in the mountains. They are fertilizer merchants. After visiting two farms with me, and getting a lot of fool answers to their questions, they decided they had had enough, and bid me farewell as we started towards Earl Ferguson's. I tried to explain that I was not a farm er and did not know much about farm ing, and that was the reason I was "on tour." I am one of these kind of folks that might be termed selfish I don't make any bones about it and in order to run true to my nature, I'm not going to tell all of the good things that happened on that farm tour last Fri At Howell's farm, I persuaded Al bert J. McCracken to ride with me for the remainder of the tour, and he pointed out this and that, and made the day a very pleasant one for me. He knowlS every crook in the road, and every farm owner, and their his tory. ; At Ben Wright's a swarm of sweat bees greeted the group, At least some farmer told me that they were sweat bees And while talking about the Wrights, it ir! interesting to know that it takes 15 minute6 longer to drive to their home in the day time than it does at night. The lights of approach ing cats can be seen at night which enables faster driving around the curves if you are interested in go ing faster. ' One farmer approached me, and pointing to a hillside that was wash ing, said: "Seeing hills wash away like that is a sin against the human race." And it was a pitiful, and de pressing sight. The women of Fines Creek will go down in history as being good cooks. I ate until I was ashamed of myself, and then to think that I was offered four different kinds of pie for des sert was too mucn. Charles McCrary. who brae's more about Fines Creek than any other two men, helped serve a few of us under fed fellows, but after about four trips to the kitchen, he fell from grace, and took a seat at the table in front of the biggest plate he brought from the serving table. He is a good waiter also a good eater, And by the way, Mr. McCrary, ! have a confession to make. T. J, Cathey and I stopped under your ap ple tree and just sampled one of two windfalls. Since I ate one more than T. J., I am making the confession. We did not, however, $ret any of the horse apples near the house. The best crop of corn on the en tire route was that of John Rogers. The cider and lemonade at Glenn Palmer's was served just as the "on tour" gang was getting parched throats from an over dose of duet. At Fines Creek, the crowd was join ed by Charles Ray, L. N. Davis and M. H. Bowles, who also enjoyed "too much dinner," Mr. Bowles went in so heavy for the dish of honey that it was "embarrassing to him." It was a swell day, a swell crowd, and a swell idea to make it an annual affair.
