Writers are remind ing: us that it is now quite clear that had the League of Nations had the United States as a member it would have been a very different thing from what it became as a result of our defection. They are now pointing out, but too late, "that Wilson had a vision and a message that might have helped forstall disaster, had his policy been adopted. As one writer has so aptly expressed it: "We refused to play the role which Wilson regarded not only as desirable in the cause of humanity, but necessary in the interest of our own country. "Of course international collaboration means sacrifices, involves contributions. Wil son knew that too, but he was convinced that the game was well worth the candle, that for the good of the world, and for our own good we would have to shoulder the burden. "The League is dead ; long live the league. Wilson can still guide us for it becomes' more and more obvious that if the future of man-l kind is once more in jepardy, the trouble has lain not with too much international organi zation and activity, but with too little." TUB WAYNESTTLLE HOUNTAJ INKEE The Golden Triangle VERYBODY HAS TO MAKE SACR1FICB Tourists - Industry and Agriculture. Com bined, these three things make a well balanc ed community in which to live. They offer op portunities to all groups. They typify Ameri can life at its best and a well rounded democracy.- These three things combined hold the gold en key to life for the average man. They mean that owning a home, however modest, is within the reach of the majority. They mean that the necessities of life may be had for honest labor. These three things combined offer a year round and steady stream of business. Each has its peak of revenue on the year's calen dar, with few dull seasons in between. j There are no great riches within the reach of many here, but there lies a wealth of op portunity in the American way of life, of freedom to chose one's course, and by appli cation to reach a certain goal, perhaps not great heights, but a level of accomplishment that often, brings greateU happiness and; contentment than is sometimes found in higher places. J A community that can offer its citizens; thozo hrpo thine in a ffood rlap in which t-... ; .. t xl. had pleasant and satisfactory deal IO me. r or in uie ucvnuieni w nun in with th.ir eUKtomm . . ,nd are HERE and THERE : By 'Avv. HILDA WAY GWYN Voice OF THE People Why do yoa like to lire in this costmnnityr ;: Louis Brewer"! like to live in this community because of the beautiful scenery, the healthy cli mate and also I think Waynesville is a very pretty little town. Wm. Medf erd "I chose Waynes- ville as a home because it seemed to me to be ideally located for fu ture development. Since coming here I have discovered that Way- nesville and Haywood County are populated by the best people in the world." W. H. Owen "Naturally a per son likes to live wnere ne was born and reared and where his life's work is centered, but I think the community as a whole offers as much in employment and op portunities as any other section in the state." , When more than 3,000 persons attend an opening day of a firm that has been in business for 16 years . . on the occasion of mov ing into new and larger quarters it spells two important things First, that the owners have Haywood Beans We have heard soldiers joke about how many beans they had to eat in the army and we were more or less inclined to take it as a bit of fun poked at Uncle Sam's menus, but we are about to change our minds. If you are a civilian and have not had the actual pleasure of eating Uncle Sam's beans go and consult J. E. Barr, manager of the Land O The Sky Cooperatives, and get him to tell you about the orders that are coming in for Haywood beans canned right here in our own cannery. Also you will get quite worried and feel that maybe you had better stop your job whatever it happens to be, provided it is not growing beans, and sign up right today on the dotted line with Frank M. Davis, manag er, and spend your summer picking beans. The cash crops made possible through the Hazelwood cannery came to the Haywood farmers at an opportune moment, but in the year 1941 it looks like our farmers are not making the most of the opportunity. It seems that in each of the Land O' The Sky Cooperatives they have specialized on one particular product, and that the bean has been found to grow a little better in Hay wood than other sections. Yet at the cannery in Murphy they have 129 acres signed up for beans, at the Green Mountain cannery 186, while in Haywood County contracts call for only around 50 acres. The fancy brand of beans put out by the local cannery has gained wide favor in the market and interest in the product is increas ing to such an extent among jobbers that the demand is greater than the supply. Contracts can be taken tip to the first of June for beans. It might do well for Hay wood farmers to revise their year's plans to include an acre or two of beans, if they had left thi important cash crop off for 1941. combination, a community naturally becomes ! well balanced in its interests and in it3 com munity activities. Today, perhaps as never before, Americans in such communities as ours are looking home ward and afar more closely and making com parisons with other communities in other lands, as a result are filled with gratitude and local and national pride. We have schools, we have churches, we have libraries, we own homes, we enjoy the advantages that come from industry and its creation of jobs and business, agriculture and its enumeration and privilege of rural life, and the contact andjinancial gain from the tOtlristS. : ... . ' ''.' ."-.: Matched with these opportunities are an equitable climate, having none of those ex tremes that often make a community unin habitable for part of the year, and the beauty of the eternal hills, a daily diet. "Let us count our many blessings one by one" and at the end of our contemplation, there will be no doubt left our community is a good place to live. So we wish to extend a glad hand of congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Noble Garrett and Her bert Braren . , . both for the past and for the prospects of the fu ture . . . we would judge the latter to be full of promise . . . for evidently they have built in their contacts day by day with their customers . ; , a permanent asso ciation . . . the 3,000 proved that beyond doubt . . . and those who called were not disappointed . . . for the display of furniture ... . many pieces of which might have been found in the shop of a fastid ious interior decorator . select ed with the greatest care . . , was unusual in a community of this size . . . manufacturing firms had sent 11 salesmen who assistei in To encourage singing among the soldiers receiving the callers . . . but we the army has gotten out a new soldier's song SJZZL? the . .
