ACHIEVEMENT AND PROSPERITY
FOLLOW COMMUNITY LOYALTY
The loyalty and prosperity of a community
is only as strong as its weakest link and that
link may be the thoughtless habit of sending
our dollars to the four winds of out-of-town
business establishments sowing seeds on bar
ren soil from whence the harvest is far away.
You do not reap crops by sowing your seed
in a neighbor's field, neither do you build com
munities and prosperous sections by spending
your money within the confines of that political
subdivision which looks to another's good. Live
and let live is an adage which may well be con
sidered by the people of Waynesville and vicin
ity. It is an adage for which The Mountaineer
has great respect. To live in Haywood and let
other folks who so desire live elsewhere is chari
table. To live in and support local institutions
is not only charitable but loyalty to those things
which are closest to the hearts and lives of us
all..' :
.'Not even by the wildest stretch of the
imagination can one see further growth and
welfare for this community and vicinity when
dollars takes wings and bid fond farewell for
ever to our local community in their flight to
distant points arid into distant cash registers.
Build your community and you build for
yourself. IJuilcl the other man's community
and you are creating and erecting material
wealth for him. Dad pennies may always re
turn, but perfectly good dollars seldom wing
their way back home when tossed into the
coffers of the out-of .'-town and out-of-state in
stitutions. The distant friend is a friend so long ;is
your dollars contribute to his well being when
they cease to grease, his wheel of prosperity you
cease to be a welcome guest.
THUMBED RIDE ROBBED OF
COLD WIND.
PANTS IN
(Jiving hitch-hikers rides continues to be
a dangerous business, or habit, It is dangerous
for both the hiker and the motorist, and usually
it is the motorist that gets the worse end of
the deal, but only last week two hikers were
given a lift, and in the car were four men and
a woman.
When the car got to a lonely spot in the
road, the two hikers were robbed of not only
their money, but their clothes even their pants
and left shivering in the cold wind.
And as we said in the opening sentence,
giving hitch-hikers rides is still a dangerous
business for all concerned some lose their
lives, others lose their money and even some
Jose their pants on a cold day.
PLOWING AHEAD
The locomotive is one of the noblest works
of man. It seems to be almost human. We
never tire' standing by it, listening to its pulsat
ing heart. We love to take our place on the
platform of a station and watch it racing along
the tracts, drawing an almost endless train of
cars after it. '
The giant on tracks of steel seems to say
to us, "Never become discouraged." Then to
illustrate its own message it plows ahead
through heat and cold, day and night, over
mountains and through valleys, and hesitates
not when it is facing the driving rain and the
blinding snow.
What else could a human creation like that
say to us except "Forge ahead; do not falter
before discouragements; never think of giving
up; you will reach your goal if you do not allow
the obstacles in your way to discourage you. '
Young Folks.
ON THE APPROVED LIST, AGAIN
When the twenty-sixth annual Clinical Con
gress of the American College of Surgeons met
in Philadelphia Monday morning and read the
list of approved hospitals in this state, the
Haywood County Hospital was again on the
list, as it has been for the past several years.
This distinction for the Haywood Hospital
again this year does not come as a surprise.
Those who come in contact with the institution
readily realize the importance that the insti
tution plays in the community.
Although crowded beyond capacity, the
work is being carried on in the faith that with
in a short time larger quarters will be added
to the present plant.
The fact that the local hospital has out
grown itself by almost fifty per cent speaks for
the good work that is being done.
LATE FALL BEAUTIFUL TREES
Old timers, and weather records show that
this is an unusually late fall. Thus far this
county has had but one noticeable frost, and
quite a few fields are still green, while the trees
in the woods have turned every color.
At no time during recent years have the
woods been so full of colorful leaves as this fall.
The usual dead appearance that many trees
have taken on in early fall are absent from
nature's paint box this year.
A MIXED UP AFFAIR
Even the best of politicians are in a swirl
when it comes to predicting the winning party
in November third. The Literary Digest straw
poll, always a reliable indicator, gives Mr. Lan
don a big lead, while Wall Street is betting Z
to 1 on the re-election of Mr. Roosevelt. The
two just go together.
And another upsetting factor, is that many
leaders of the Democratic party have recently
announced their intention to vote for Mr. Lan
don, while those who have made it their busi
ness to study elections say that Mr. Roosevelt
is as good as elected right now.
About all that we are sure of right now is
that this nation will welcome with glee, the
rising of the sun on the morning of November
fourth and shout in unison, "The 1936 election
is over, now to get back to work."
PARK TRAVEL INCREASING
There is a slang expression: "Who would
have ever a thought it."
And that is what we thought When we re
ceived this week a communication from Supe"
intendent J. Ross Eakin, of the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, saying that from Oc
tober, 1935 to September, 1936 over 602,000
people in 194,932 automobiles traveled in the
Park.' ''
Six hundred and two thousand people.
What a crowd. That is a little better than
twenty per cent more than visited the park the
previous year. Cars were from every state, also
Canada and 9 other foreign countries.
Just for the sake of comparison, we find
that if all the cars visiting the park last year
were to. line up, with 12 feet allotted each car,
that the line would be about 150 miles long.
The largest single day's travel was on Sep
tember sixth. This was the Sunday before
Labor Day, when 11,974 people entered the park
in 3,192 cars.
Such records as these should begin to con
vince us that travel into the park is really get
ting to mean something.
PROPHETS OF DOOM
Luckily for humanity it still maintains
a saving sentse of humor. Were this not so,
the wailings of the pessimists would drive us
all crazy. For surely there is no lack of pro
phets of doom to hurry us with their doleful
warnings that the world is going to pot.
Each long-faced brother solemnly assures
us that unless his particular panacea for sav
ing the race shall be speedily adopted there is
no hope. Modernism, flapperism, automobiles,
hootch, movies, bridge, dancing, and cigarettes,
either or in combination, constitute the out
standing menace, according to the viewpoint of
the particular alarmist who happens to have the
..floor.;.. .
Thus, after listening to these apostles of
doom, with a more or less pronounced feeling
of boredom, unregenerated humanity turns to
the funny papers and smiles at the varying
fortunes of Jiggs and Andy Gump.
This does not mean that the average person
is indifferent to the evil of the world. It means
that sensible people recognize the inherent
weakness and folly of humanity, and refuse
to bcome unduly excited about it. They realize
the futility of trying to carry the world's bur
den on their shoulders, though they seek to be
helpful in practical ways. They courageously
face the things that are, while sanely striving
for the things that ought to be. McDowell

By HILDA WAY GWYN
We saw recently in the head lines
of the papers . . , "President Roose
velt greatly impressed with his trip
through the Park." . . I wish he could
have seen it last Sunday . . the bril
liant crimsons of the sourwoods and
the golden maples side by side with
the dark greens of the balsams . . .
and above them in the distance like a
great protecting boundary, range af
ter range of mountains . . , bathed
in that intangible blue 0f the Smokies.
. . We are a lucky lot in this sec
tion . . . while others drive hundred
and thousands of miles to view the
grandeur of these gorgeous hills . . ,
in a couple of hours we may park our
car on Clingmari's Dome . . . and to
either side of us more than likely
will be parked ears from distant
states . . . maybe to the right will
be one from Michigan ... and to
the left one from New York, or even
California ... at any rate it gives
one that cosmopolitan feeling that
contacts from a trip far away from
home give you , . and often it's a
rather nice sensation . . when you
feel the need of a thange . . but the
cars and their occupants are soon
forgetten in the exquisite beauty of
the surroundings. . . .
At this Keason of the year I
always find myself as I am sure
you do . . struggling for adequate
expressions . . nothing seems
quite extravagant enough ....
When attempting t0 describe au
tumn in the Great Smokies . . .
or for that matter from my own
front porch . . whether looking
down on the flaming maples that
border Pigenn street . . or lifting
my eyes to the heights of Juna
luska Mountain . . one longs
for the power of the poets . . or
for that superb flow of adjectives
always at the command of our
townsman. Judge Felix Alley.
During a stop at one of the gift
shops en route, while I was waiting
for my young daughter to find a bask
et to meet the content., of her pocket
book I walked over to the large fire
place, with its huge burning logs . .
and talked to one of the Indians near
by, whom I had a hunch was there
for local color . . we had a very inte
esting conversation . . his name was
Chiltowskey . . he is an instructor
in the government school . . in the
arts and crafts department . . I was
admiring the cane baskets . . for
which I have a decided weakness . . as
Clyde Ray, Jr. . . local dealer can
testify . . . when the Indian started
to tell me about them thinking I was
a regular tourist . . I quickly en
lightened him . . . he seemed pleased
to meet someone from Haywood coun.
ty . . because as he explained some
of his material with which he worked
in his department came from our
county . . and when I began to wonder
what materials, he gave the following
information: ( . . that they used a
great deal of copper in the crafts . . .
and arrangements had been made
through government agencies whereby
the school at the reservation got all
the stills captured in Haywood. . .
In speaking of local products
did you gee the exhibit of the
TJnagusta Manufacturing Compa
ny as shown by C. N". Allen, of
Hazelwood . . at the Haywood
County Fair? Some of the
pieces were particularly lovely
, . and I heard a number of per
sons express surprise over the
, fact that such furniture was made
right here at home-.'.". T retailor!
an incident that actually hap
pened . . there was to be a wed
ding in a certain family in this
section , . some of the bride's rel
atives wished to give the couple
a suite of bedroom j'urniture
something especially nice .'.'if
certainly could not be found lo
cally . . perhaps not in Ashe
yille : . so they went to Atlanta
they were quite pleased with
their purchases . . the goods were
shipped home . . and when the
pieces arrived . . much to the

COSTLIER TOBACCOS
"The Scientist On The Corner"
Everyone knows, the great, yet often unappreciated
service rendered by the trained and skilled hand of the
Pharmacist. He is indeed "the scientist on the corner".
Shoulder to shoulder, he battles with the Doctor against
disease and death. But his part is often overlooked and
forgotten. He makes no headlines. But he has won and
holds an everlasting place in the hearts of those whom
he has helped when life itself hung on his hands and his
lifetime of study.
Every day in the year he should be honored and re
spected in the minds of everyone who knows what the
druggist the scientist on the corner means to everv
family in the land.
