For a long time, the first Monday of September has been looked upon as the end of the summer season, and the beginning of the fall. There is no need trying to fool ourselves, business during the past six months has not been up to expectations, but if we are to take stock in so-called authentic predictions, then we have everything to look forward too this fall in the way of better business. Then there in another reason why this sec tion, particularly, should welcome Labor Day this year. We are an ever-growing industrial .section, and all indications are that we are just on the threshold of becoming a leading manu facturing center. But what we are trying to lead up to, was better expressed in this Column two years ago, and as the same thing is just as true today, we are repeating that part of our editorial. Owners of the plants, and their co-workers, will " flake the day off" to mingle in fellowship with eacih other and enjoy the day in general. Few places in the country can boast of a group of industries where owners and workers have as much in common as here in Western North Carolina. Both groups work harmon iously with each other for mutual good, and it is to this end that has made what industries we have in this area come under the column of "thriving." The attitude of both groups is to be com mended, and may it long continue thus. AMERICAN MOBS In a community this small, it is hard to realize to just what extent some of our fellow Americans in congested populated areas will do when excited. When Corrigan, the nervy aviator returned :to New York from his Atlantic flight, he suf fered his only physical injury of the trip, when a mob rushed him as he entered his hotel. Suf fering fractured ribs, (he went on, facing the public with a smile. In Chicago, the other night, a crowd esti mated at 200,000 gathered at Soldier Field, and to the tune of 57 swing bands, danced and be came a wild mob of '-"jitterbugs."' Five hundred police were helpless. The fences and gates to 1he stadium and field were ignored, and smashed. The sod on the field was litterally kicked and cut to pieces, and the commissioner of parks asked the debt-ridden city of Chicago for $4, O00 to replace the sod. Those of us in this section of the nation, marvel at being in well behaved crowds of around 30,000 at football games, and it is hard to understand the why and wherefor of the surging mobs of the heavily populated areas on certain occasions, when they apparently lose all sense of reasoning. MORE SCHOOL PROBLEMS As some 900,000 to 1,000,000 school children start back to school, We may expect renewed interest, and more discussion of the subject of adding the 12th grade. Naturally, the schools of the state, in spite of expansion, will be crowd ed, and there will also be more discussion about still larger schools. But with all the discussion of individuals, the matter will probably become another head ache for the 1939 Legislature. WHAT'S THAT ADDRESS? A post card from Sheza Moron, wfao is va cationing in the mountains, embarrasses us no little. She writes, "Sleeping under three blank ets every night; wish you were here." Wins ton-Salem Sentinel. NO NEED FOR A FAIR Haywocd County will not have a county fair this year. This does not come as a surprise to those of us who have been watching the annual fair for the past several years. The lack of proper facilities makes it impractical to attempt anoth er fair until permanent housing quarters are ar ranged. County fail's at one time played an impor tant part in the life of a community. We have a feeling that now, there is no longer a need for a county fair. We say that for this reason. We are living in an age that does not re quire a fair. The principal purpose of a county fair is to instill more interest in better agri cultural methods, and cattle raising. Now we have organized farm groups, that meet monthly instead of once a year at a fair to exhibit their prize stock or samples of a prize crop. With the farm tours, farmers and their wives visit other sections of the county, and there see first hand, entire crops, and net just one or two un usual stalks, as shown in fairs. They hear the owners of these crops explain what methods were used. They learn what difficulties he over come in producing such crops, and the same ap plies to livestock. The women of the county have their heme demonstration clubs, meeting monthly, and dis cussing and producing practical examples of solved problems. The personal contacts are worth far more than that which can be had at any county fair. The young people have their 4-II Clubs, fat calf shows, and projects in vocational and homa economic work in school. They get far more from these, than from any fair they ever at tended. The county fail's of recent years have been put on under extreme difficulties, and those back of the movement were worked almost to nercous wrecks trying to put on something worthwhile, but the results were not worth their efforts, and we say that not as criticism but in a sense of praise, because if they had not gone to the extra trouble, the fair itself would have fail ed. ' In recent years, the fairs have been built, because of finances, around the mid-way. Hundreds of people attended because of the carnival and not the exhibits some did not even see the exhibits. Without permanent quarters, it seems un wise to attempt a county fair, and with our well organized rural sections, working in such pro fitable lharmony, we question the wisdom of attempting to get permanent fair quarters. GOING AFTER BAD ACCOUNTS A groceryman in Brevard, advertised in a large display space last week, that beginning September first, he would post in his window on Main Street, the names of six people who 41have promised and promised to pay their ac count, but "have not kept the faith." In bold type, his advertisement read, in part : "Come, see the names of those who prom ised and failed to keep their promise." You'll be surprised when you read the names." The method to be used by this determined merchant, is that each week he will draw the names of six delinquent customers from a box, and post them on the window. Each week six more names will be added to the list. We once knew a photographer, who receiv ed a bad check for making portraits of a man. The photographer enlarged the protrait to life size, and put it and check in his front window, and a sign underneath : "This man gave us this bad check for making his pictures." To many people make no attempt to pay honest bills, but make increasing debts at other unsuspecting business places, and live beyond their income, and seemingly enjoy doing it. We admire the courage of the Brevard mer chant. It will mean he will lose some custo mers, but better that he lose them, than to lose money on the business given him. All of us have been warned repeatedly about driving safely in school zones. This warn ing is timely, but along with the usual run of school-opening advice, it might be well for some parents, especially the fathers, to remem ber that the present methods of doing prob lems don't always coincide with the methods taught back yonder -and too often, sonny gets in dutch by carrying in the correct 1905 ans wers. .'.

Curtis Kuss A FKW MOItK LETTFKS Mr. Kill Chambers, chairman Labor Day Celebration. Dear Mr. Chambers: It was no surprise when you were named again as chairman of the Labor Day celebration, after the Splendid work you and your associates did last year in putting over a success ful program. I note on your program this year, that you have left out speech-making, and have given over to recreation, music and a general good time. Now a Labor Day celebration with a speech is almost unheard of, in fact most places center their program around some long winded speaker, who is limited with facts, not gifted with public speaking, and recognizes the difficulty of Labor Day speech. If more program committees would ifollow your ideasj and have more activities and less "attempted speak ing" this old world would be just as well off, anil cecrtainly lots more con tented. By reason of your absence of speeches, the attendance at the cele bration next Monday should be far beyond your expectations. Yours, for few speeches, always. Mr. Crom Cole, president Haywood Young Democrats. Dear Mr. President: The Young Democratic clubs of this state and nation have the abili ty to get members, keep them, and create enthusiasm in the work. You are following a live-wire pres ident Dave Cabe. He sold heart and soul on the Democratic ideals, and a good organization has put you in a responsible position. There's not the slightest question but what you'll make good. You, too, have the spirit, and besides all that, have you ever known an organization that was supposed to to be catering to the "young" that had so many of the older heads as members? That's proof enough that the older members of the party are looking to the younger ones for guidance and enthusiasm ... you have everything in your favor for a successful administration. Hotel and Boarding House Operators, of the Community. Dear Fellow Citizens: Criticism this year has been up to par. In some instances, it has been a little above the average. No doubt some of the criticism has been justified, while some has to be discounted. The most current, and persistent of all noted this season has been uncomfortable beds. Now, it surely can't be that competent oper ators of places catering to roomers have uncomfortable beds yet they say that some do exist. That is one criticism. There are others, and while you have your side to always explain, it seemstimely, right at this time of the season, for each ot you to take stock of the problems which confronted you this year, and begin to make plans to overcome them next year. Right now while the problems are fresh in your minds is the best time to get the best of them for the com ing season, i Directors of First National Bank. Gentlemen: According to a news sory in this newspaper a week or so ago, you're due to begin work on remodeling and modernizing the interior of your bank ing house.
