North Carolina PUSS ASSOCIATION THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1939 EXCESSIVE HORN BLOWING Police in Charlotte and Asheville are stag ing campaigns against excessive automobile horn-blowing. Both cities have found that there is too much needless noise being made by motor ists who take occasion to blow their horns for almost everything under the sun. In every town, officials have a right to pass ordinances to stop such foolish practices, and 1he police are armed with sufficient power to bring about peaceful silence. We understand Waynesville has such an ordinance. We certainly have a large enough police department to enforce the law, and cer tainly too much uncalled for auto-horn tooting. ALL ABOARD FOR EUROPE VIA AIR Back in 1931, when talk of flying oceans tw taken with a proverbial grain of salt, the late Will Rogers remarked: "If you boys ever get around to flying the oceans, I want to be your first passenger." Rogers was cheated out of this opportunity, when he went to his death with Wiley Post in Alaska in 1935, although it was just a year later that regular passenger service was es tablished over the Pacific. ,; Next Wednesday, the first regular sche duled passenger service will be inaugurated over the Atlantic, with a 41-ton flying boat taking 35 passengers, and leaving behind some 300 disappointed applicants who wanted to make . ife first flight. But the fact that so many want to make Hie first flight, does not mean that business for tafeequent flights will be bad, for over 600 res rvations are on hand for later dates. The 44-hour trip, with an overnight stop over in Lisbon, will cost but $375. Ocean flying is no longer a joke. It is a reality, and if Will Rogers were alive, he'd be a passenger on that ship next Wednesday, and would have the time of his life, and make the rest of the world envy him his coveted seat. TWO GOOD SPECIAL ISSUES Two of the most interesting publications come to our attention in some time, was The Knka Voice and The State Magazine. The Voice, in admitted streamline form, told most interest ingly of the 10 years the plant has been in ope ration. It was void of the ballyhoo that so many iuch publications are filled with on anniversary occasion- The articles were cleverly written, pointed, and instructive. The State Magazine last week published a jpeeial number which is being distributed by the thousands at the New York World's Fair. To say that the edition was complete is not exaggerating. It also thoroughly covered the state, playing no favors to any section. Carl Goerch and his associates did themselves proud, and the state a great service in their special' .issue. N. C. ENTERTAINERS To North Carolina performers fell a large part of the responsibility of entertaining the King and Queen of England at the White House recently the "Amercian Way." It was a tribute to North Carolina. It was a compliment to those selected to present the "American Way," For to be an American, to live and to laugh the "American Way" is one of the finest things on earth. Thus North Caro lina comes into full recognition as being typi cally American. Doubtless the King and Queen will carry back to England with them a definite impression of the "American Way" through the performances by North Carolina entertainers at the White House. There was nothing sophisticated about the type of entertainment ottered by North Caro linians. There is nothing sophisticated about America or the "American Way " But m the entertainment the square dancing of the Soco Gap dancers from Haywood county ,and the chant of spirituals by a selected group of negro singers from Durham and Wins ton-Salem was as sincere as the soil and as real as the sunshine upon our Carolina hills. The entertainment presented was a part of the very being of those who performed. In being themselves as dancers and as singers, the North Carolina performers provided a true and enter taining performance in the "American Way" for the visiting rulers from England. North Carolina, too, had the lion's share of the program for the monarchs. While high salaried concert and radio stars appeared and a group of "hillbilly" girl singers from Kentucky performed, two folksy groups were selected from North Carolina. It is not only appreciation for the enter tainers that was shown in their selection but it was a distinct recognition of North Carolina as the American state from which representa tives were chosen to show the "American Way" in entertainment. Perhaps as such things go the entertainers by no stretch of the imagina tion could be called "artists," but they were even better. They were genuine and perform ed sincerely. Shelby Star.

All our life we've been hearing that the world is just on the verge of falling to pieces, and very morning we get up and look out the win dow, and there it is. Omaha World-Herald- PROTECTION AGAINST FAKES The Morganton News-Herald thinks well of the objectives of the newly organized merchants division of the Chamber of Commerce. In a recent editorial, that newspaper said: v ."In a town not far from Morganton an advertising outfit operated a scheme recently which left a number of the merchants bereft of their cash and with reflection of another sad experience with fakers. As a rule merchants are like newspaper editors a gullible lot. They are easily "sold" on any proposition that "sounds good." In the aforesaid town the publisher Wanted to send out a general warning all over the state advising other newspapers and, through them, local merchants to beware of this promotion bunch- "The proposition narrows down to the fact that in cases of this kind each community must be organized to take care of itself. Warnings are all right, but usually when the offending group has pulled such a stunt in one state they move on immediately to another or at least to a great enough distance that they are not easily caught. The best way to check their efforts is not to let them get started in the first place. "For years in Morganton we have had a "sanction committee" in the Merchants Asso ciation. The merchant who wants to protect himself against schemes and schemers has learned sometimes by bitter experience to inquire whether or not the proposition has the approval of this sanction committee "Apparently throughout the state mer chants are learning ; that they must .organize, not only for mutual protection but in the inte rest of the general good and advancement of their individual communities. Morganton has no greater asset than the local Merchants Asso ciation and Chamber of Commerce. "In this connection we are interested in the program of work outlined for the newly organized merchants association at Waynes ville. It offers objectives that any association might strive to attain. We would call special attention to No. 2 of the proposals, but all are worthwhile: "1. Community-wide trade events. '2. Uniform policy as to outside advertis ing solicitors- ' "3. Promotion of good roads. "4. Promotion of completion of Blue Ridge It wasn't long after they got Into the woods before it got dark, but since a donkey can see as well at night as he can in the day, but Jocko couldn't see so well; and since Hee Haw didn't know which way to go, Jocko must guide him, and he was getting mixed up in some bushes, Wait a minute," said Doctor Coon "I hit something With my foot that feels like a lantern. I reckon Mr Man bought it in town so he could see how to skin Blackie Bear to morrow night." I have always heard that it's catching before skinning." said Blackie, "and if Mr. Man hasn't any use for the lantern except to see how to skin Blackie, I guess it's just as well that he hasn't got it. . Blackie nas to get dead before he gets skinned, and he doesn't feel a bit dead tonight. Light that lantern Doctor, and let's move along!" Doctor Coon found some matches right beside the lantern, and so he lit it and hung it up to the top of the wagon over Jocko's head, and then they didn't have any trouble in get ting through the woods, to Blackie's house. They packed up all the meat and apples and things that they had been getting for several rtavs. nnH took along plenty of things to cook By the time they got everything: pacKed in the wagon, the moon had come up, and it was a mighty nrettv nignc ior trarveling. Riackie said they wouldn t stop to fix supper as ne would leel a little safer when thev goc across the creek and on th mountain trail. Then evervbodv cuniDert back into the wagon. Jocko said "get up" to Hee-Haw iust Mr; Man alwavs Hid nnH r tt,, went ior the road that led to the mountains and to Blackie's old home, Alter tney got away un mist, the old goat house and had crossed tho creek at a place where the water wasnt eep, they came into the old mountain trail on which nobody lived, J and then they didn't care how much noise they made. They all felt mighty good, and Blackie sang his "woof song for them. Then Doc tor Coon said, "All of you keep quiet for a minute I've got a good song. And then he sang: "There was a man in our woods Who wasn't wondrous wise; Each day, right after dinner, he'd Lie down and close his eyes: He did this once too many times, And" "Kill " "l SOU. !!-. marble, edik;.- Addison.

"Oh, hush, Doctor Coon," said tfillie Possum. "I believe I heard Rover Dog. Listen!" Jocko stopped Hee-Haw and they all held their breath and listened. In a minute they heard the noise again, but it wasn't Rover Dog at all It was Bull Frog out in the creek singing "Jug-o-rum Jug-o-rum.' They thev all had a good laugh at themselves for geing afraid of Rover Dog, when they had both of Mr. Man's guns in the wagon. By this time, they were all getting pretty hungry, and decided to stoD ana camp under a great big tree and have a good supper. So they cooked the red rooster that they had got at iviani house, and made some biscuits from the bag of flour that Mrs. Man was waiting for. It was ai good supper, but Blackie could hardly eat for laughing every time he thought of the way Mr. Man henf his fist down on that shelf and said e was going to clean out RlafUIo Bear and his crowd. "It looks like Blackie Bear and his crowd have about cleaned Mr. Man out. doen't t, Billie?" asked Blackie: Rt Billie Possum was so ksr mim. his drumstick that he couldn't take time to say "yes." so he nnriH head and grinned.

So they threw ....e water on the fire, and then they climbed into the wagon, and were soon fast asleep. - -' (To be continued).
