Thursday, January 10, PAGE TWU (First Section) THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Haywood Coal Situation Reaches Critical Stage (Continued from page 1) now establishing their own homes. They want fuel. Many who moved to war production centers in the early stages of the war were not here when the coal was rationed to this community, but are back now and they want their part. I know of at least 25 families who had not lived here before who have moved fn from Fontana Dam. They want and need coal. In other words we have m.my more to serve, but less , coal to supply them," said still another. "Most of our u: tomers had been supplied with 50 per cent of the coal they are supposed to have this winter during the- month of De cember, and now with the prospect of three months oi cold weather, they are entitled to only 30 per cent of coal, that is X we can get that for them," comvnented one dealer. "We do have the proved of Xi and one-half per cent of our March shipments, which might be used during the months of January and February, but that is a big gamble on March. Just suppose e have our worst weather then and that is often the case in that month, where will they be if they have used it up? It will be just too- bad. for they cannot possibly get any more," said another dealer. "They tell me that coal is bevns shipped in large quantities No.'th and West, but that the South is being left out. I talked recent ; with a man in service who ha i tome fiom the Great Lakes section', and he said his train had to wait until 50 train loads of coal went J by. somewhere out of Chicago, headed for that area. With pro duction low. you can easily see why we can't supply the demands of our customers." one explained. "There just isn't any coal on our yards and we never know when we will get any, but you better believe the news gets around when we do. They just flock around us like geese and demand coal. Re cently we had a carload and i;i one hour it was gone. We wiM expect a load of stoker coal, and it will be lump coal and often the other way round. Half the time we are never notified when it is coming. I guess they know we will be glad enough to get it." said still another depressed dealer. "People will just have to make the best of the situation. We only wish we did have the coal to sei! them, for it is our business and we like to keep coal moving," said another.

As you read, things. Do you see dresses? You picture yourself of a summer evening in this drifting white chiffon, softly printed with delicate blossoms. Hats? Your mind's eye frames your face with a pastel shaded halo. Foods? A cool, jolly dinner, with ex citing news of the family's day. Sporting goods? A slashing tennis game. A well-hit drive from the tee. A hard-hooked fish and a screaming reel. Some people say that all enthusiasm should be taken out of advertising. In books and speeches they crusade for bleak little ads that give nothing but thread counts, strength and chemical tests, dimensions and prices. What a pity if they had their way! Advertising is one of the welcome voices that directs our eyes upward. It has worked wonders in raising our standard of living. Let's encourage it to continue on its inspiring way.
