NATIONAL DITOWAL North Carolina rPMSS ASSOCIATION THI KSDAV, MAY 11, 1913 (One Day Nearer Victory) Another Appeal Perhaps we are mere conscious of the appearance of debris on the streets since the city ollicials asked the citizens of the community to join in with the annual clean up campaign, at any rate it has struck us that there has l.cen more waste paper care lessly thrown on the streets during the past week than we have observed in sometime. Take, for instance, the matter of paper drinking cups. We realize that the touch of summer also created a greater thirst in the community, but that does not in any way excuse the persons who after enjoying their drink, threw their cups wherever they happen to be at the time they drained the last drop. This may sound to some people as a mat ter of slight importance when the world is in such turmoil, but keeping the town clean should be a matter of personal as well as civic pride. Waynesville is a resort town and has been for many years. Visitors do not like to stop in a place that is not well kept. Turn the .table on yourself, had you not rather spend your vacation in a place that was well cared for than in some dump where no one had any pride in the looks of things? War or no war the habit of tidiness about your community should be stressed and it is just as easy to acquire a good habit as a bad one. if we give it our attention. We know that you are going to get thirsty bar when you can get one. and we would and that you are going to buy a chocolate not want to deprive you of the refreshment of either, but please do not throw the cups or wrappings on the streets. Haywood Holds Own In the second war loan. Haywood seemed to be just a wee bit ahead of the average county in the district according to popula tion. This, we conclude, is from the official records, which gives the region credit for sales mounting to more than five and a half millions. Knowing the counties, their population and wealth, it is interesting to note the way they stack up on the official figures of pur chases: 1. Buncombe $2,665,416.50 2. Haywood 669,669.25 3. Henderson 457,864.50 , 4. Transylvania 324,203.25 6. McDowell 293,997.25 6. Polk 203,466.25 7. Madison 191,080.25 8. Cherokee 175,146.50 ' 9. Swain 142,379.25 10. Mitchell 131,830.00 11. Macon 109,178.00 12. Jackson 93.040.25 13. Yancey 52.418.75 14. Graham 12,631.25 15. Clay 7.825.00 Regional Total $5,529,146.25 Pretty Low Figure Here lately, with the sale of war bonds soaring, there has been lots of talk that thousands of dollars are being "cashed in." From the treasury department comes a statement that less than 32 per cent of the total sales have been redeemed. That ! seems like a pretty low figure as compared with what some would have us believe. So Far, So Good We imagine that the reaction of our own citizens to the reports from the battle fronts during the past two weeks has been typical of that of the people from every section of the United States. We are justly elated over the records of our fighting forces in North Africa, as they have struggled side by side with the Brit ish and Free French army, but as far a.- the picture of victory is concerned, it is only a part. We have other fronts, that we fear will be even longer to win. Our recent victories should not make us buy one less boncl or give one less hour to our war effort. On the contrary it should spur us on to greater effort. Reason tells us that the end is not yet in sight and that before the final page of victory is written there will be many more battles. Regardless of the significance of the North African victory, we should not be overly confident, for we must not forget that the Pacific is still "infested" with the Japs. "ONE WORLD". Brighter Outlook Regardless of what we might have thought last winter, and of the many dis couraging aspects of the Spring develop ment, we heai- from a number of sources that letters of inquiry are steadily coming in for accommodations in Waynesville area for the summer months. During the week we heard of one popular resort hotel that had not planned definitely to open and if so not until July, and here they find themselves in receipt of numerous requests for reservations in June. Which all totals up to match our own optimistic mood regarding the tourist sea son for 1913. It may not reach peaks of oth er years, in fact that would be almost un reasonable to anticipate, but we continue to feel confident that the number of visitors will be a gratifying surprise to the community.

Florida resorts, which annually sends thousands of visitors to Carolina in the summer, predict that this will be a better yrear for this section than last. The peace and quietude of Western North Carolina, unspoiled for the most part by war camps or industries, offer all the advan tages of a haven from the war and the heat of summer for those seeking restoration of their minds and bodies in vacations before going back to tackle the problems of war time existence anew Newsworld, North Wilkesboro. A Suggestion It has been sug'gested that we should not lend our support to the new wine-flavored lipsticks. Instead, with summer coming on, we have been asked to throw our support to a phosphorescent lipstick which will shine in the dark. Malcolm W.

YOU'RE TELLING ME! By WILLIAM RITT- Central Press Writer Might Be A Washington man, who was clinically dead for five minutes, said afterward that he "floated in a warm friendly place." Our personal fear, however, is that in our case the emphasis might be more on the warmth than the friendliness. Geo. Ryan, in the Boston Herald. Speaking of the WAACS brings to mind the boys . . . we have been thinking for some time of making a suggestion about the draftees leaving this area . . . there are families here that do not have men in service . . . they may have rel atives and plenty of friends, but their fireside circle is unbroken by the war . . . we often wonder if these people have the true concep tion of what it means to say good bye to a boy leaving for the army. . . . Not that we wish to make anybody unhappy . . . but merely to quicken our understanding of life about us . . . do we make the following suggestion. . . . We would like to have every person in town who does not have a member of their family in the armed forces co at least one tome to "see the boys off" as they leave for their induction center . . . you may read about it in the paper after they have gone . . . but it does not mean what it would if you actually saw them board that bus. We happen to he on a committee that often dispenses cigarettes to the boys . . . and again in the role of a reporter, it falls our lot to see them off . . . in fact we are what you might term a regular at tendant. . . . Maybe that is one reason we have learned to have such respect for the mothers of sons . . . we have seen them dry eyed wave goodbye, and keep back the tears until the bus moved off . . . we have seen them with their eyes swimming . . . and yet they "take it" . . . with such bravery that it gets under the skin of the onlooker . . . sometimes we have not known a single boy leaving, but our eyes have been wet watch ing some mother prove that all battles are not fought on firing lines. ...
