Only for a passing moment did we enjoy them, and then we destroyed them forever. This is only another phase of conservation that must be practiced and recognized in this section. Most of us have been so accustomed to fields of purple wild flox and other spring time flowers that we think nothiner of pull ing all we want, never realizing that after a few years of such ruthless treatment nature will fail to give us this continued bloom. We do not advocate restraint from the gathering of wild flowers in places where Here and There -By-H1LDA WAY GWYN ' 1940 PROBLEM CHILD In conversation with Mr. D. A.

Mr. Owen, the late W.

We believe that a lot of people have not gone into the matter very thoroughly, or they would realize that only through collec tions of great masses of individual data can this country be put on an accurate basis for relieving and aiding certain Conditions. No question has been idly put on the list, but each one has a very definite purpose, try ing to get at the root of some situation that needs changing. How can America know what the country needs Unless exhaustive and authoritative figures are on file? It would be a very ex pensive thing to collect this at any other time but that set for the regular census. If there had been on file at the beginning of the great depression the information that the present census taker will gather, there would no doubt have been many a penny, to say nothing of millions of dollars saved in the various agencies that have functioned to relieve the jobless and needy. But one thing certain from all the criti cism, the census taker has learned this fact: that he will be expected to keep his findings to himself, for the public is already suspicious of his ability to keep secrets. only one extra , snirt and a pair oi extra snoes anomeryeartocut, or giving tneotner person he continud ....

A Suggestion Which do you think is the most susceptible to flattery, men or women, and why? Mrs. J. F. DeLacy "I think that men are more susceptible to flat tery than women. I can't explain why, I feel sure that it is true." E. C. Wagenfeld "I think it's fifty fifty. There are just as many men as there are women who are susceptible to flattery, but they won t admit it." Mrs. N. F. Lancaster "I think men are more susceptible to flat tery than women. Since masculine superiority is traditional, men are more likely to accept flattery as sincere praise. Zeb Curtis "I think women are more susceptible to flattery, be cause they want to please others, as a general rule, more than the men." F. E. Worthington "I think men are more susceptible. It might be because they get so little of it." A. P. Ledbetter "Women, of course. They studv such thitics more than men. Most men don't pay any attention to such things." Mrs. George Taylor "I think women are, because they have a weakness for such things, far more than men." Jack Felmet "In the case of a man being flattered by a woman, I'd say he would be much more susceptible than a woman being flattered by a man." Mrs. Ralph Prevosl-"Men defi finitely.

IN LOOKING OVER THE COUNTY Off The Beaten Paths We have often thought about how much, the "fly by night" tourist misses of beauty in this section. We mean the person who is frying to cover such a wide territory in a limited time, and sticks to the main high ways that are all so well marked on his road . map. -. He misses so much of the silent beauty of the hills, which as yet are not commercialized and to which no paved highway leads We hope that there will be many such places f1 ,in country, and that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will never suffer too many improvements at the hand of man. . Tere are many spots of soul-filling beauty that we could all name in this vicinity that the average tourist would not find unless they were especially pointed out to him, and m order to see he would be compelled to leave the mam thoroughfares. .f6 .werewen reminded of this by the following editorial by Carl Goerch in the last issue of the State Magazine : at "We flatter ourselves sometimes that we know North Carolina pretty well. Perhaps you have that same feeling at times, particu larly if you do much traveling "But the actual truth of the matter is that most of us don't know North Carolina aS And the reason for this is that practically al of our traveling is confined to paved rofds .

Advertising A State At this season all citizens in summer re sort areas become more publicity-minded, or rather, they have a revival of interest on the subject. ;. It is reported now that all the states in the union, with the exception of Delaware "are competing through advertising media for tourists, markets, investors or new indus tries."
