No tourist is going to stop in a city of dirty streets, poor ly painted houses, and dirty public buildings. Though Griffin is clean er than most cities, she has a long way to go before anyone will re mark about her cleanliness. The entrances to Griffin would be more attractive if more flowering shrubs and small trees were planted along them. When a tired tourist enters an attractive town, ne automatic ally thinks, "this looks like a good place to stop." When the traveler stops, he looks for good service with courtesy. If the clerks in our stores, hotels, and filling sta tions are courteous, the tourist will be much more likely to spend the night than if they anger him. It is a recognized fact thai Griffin is not too cordial to outsiders. If she is to have any tourist trade, she must be friendly. Hadn't you rather spend the night or a few days in a city where the people are cour teous and cordial rather than in a city where the citizens ignore you? Beauty and courtesy alone are not enough to insure tourist trade. All good impressions that they build may be utterly destroyed by poor accommodations, sleeping and otherwise. Griffin has four mod ern hotels. A check reveals that it is usually impossible to secure a room in any of these hotels after 10 p. m. If we are to accommo date a large number of tourists, we should encourage the establish ing of modern, sanitary tourist homes. To insure first rate accom modations it would be wise to adopt the Washington, D. C, law requir ing that all tourist homes be in spected by the police department each month. As many travelers prefer tourist camps, Griffin would do well to encourage veterans to build such establishments on the city's outskirts. Tourists would be favorably impressed by an over night laundry service. Our two laundries could take weekly turns in working a small night force to provide this service. After a good night's sleep a tourist desires a good meal. It must be admitted that Griffin falls far short in pro viding eating accommodations. The slow service, uncertainty of good food, and lack of cleanliness should be called to our restaurant owner's attention. At least one garage should remain open to accommo date late travelers. Our stores would make a good impression by selling boxed lunches and sending free postal cards for the tourists. Gift shops would provide souvenirs. Erect Markers If we are to expect tourists to remain here, we must provide them with something to do. Grif fin is blessed with historical sites, industries, and beautiful homes. We should post markers directing people to our historical sites. Urges Publicity One of the most vital parts of such a campaign is publicity and plenty of it. The Chamber of Com merce should publish publicity bul letins and send them to other cities IK THEATRE WAYNESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA . C. 1 - ounaay Z and 4 I M.: Saturdav 2 nnrl ai.M P.

Here is a view of one of the piers with tug boats tied up and idle. Affecting about 400 tugs and fuel barges, the strike was based on a demand for a 40-hour week at the prevailing 48-hour wage. With tugs idle, virtually every commodity usually brought to New York by ship, from Sandy Hook to New Haven, Conn., was being held up at points of origin. (International) Traffic Accidents Took 28,000 Lives In States In 1945 CHICAGO The National Safety Council has made its annual re port and, all in all, it's not happy reading. According to the council figures, traffic deaths took more than 28 i 000 lives during 1945, and tho rate : cf those fatalities jumped 36 per ' cent after V-J day. Part of the I Robert Davis, One Of Seven Brothers In Service, Discharged Robert Davis, FaCEM, U. S. Navy, son of Mrs. T. V. Davis, of Hazel wood, one of seven brothers who have been in the armed forces during World War II, was dis charged during the week at Camp Shelton, Va. He entered the service in May, 1944, and took his boot training at Camp Peary, Va., and from there was sent to Perdue University and report reads: figures snow the ialer given trainine at the Consoli nation celebrated V-J day by go going on a prolonged traffic spree that hasn't ended yet." The toll from all types of acci dents last year, according to the council, was 96,000 killed, 10,300, 000 injured. Motor vehicle deaths alone, says the council, caused 17 per cent more deaths in 1945 than in 1944. and travel bureaus for distribu tion. If we can get the name of Griffin along with what she offers before a tourist before he starts his journey, there is a good chance that he will plan to stop here. It would be money well spent to have sight-seeing maps of Griffin printed and placed at convenient points for free distribution. This would favorably impress any trav eler and at the same time put our points of interest before them. In short, if Griffin is to have tourist trade, which would increase her income, bring new stores, and give us more outside contact, she must beautify herself, provide sat isfactory accommodations, and use her natural assets historical sites, industries, and experiment station to provide entertainment. If Griffin is ever to become a tourist center, the time is now. Are we going to wake up and cut our share of the cake or remain asleep and let the uncut cake pass on to some more progressive community? dated Edison, New York. At the time of his discharge he was sta tioned at Norfolk, Va. When he entered the service was employed at Martin Electric Company here. Brothers also discharged include: Sergeant Joe -Davis, who served in the European theater and Corporal Charles Davis, who also was on duty in the ETO. Another brother, Edward Davis, WT, third class, is now home on leave. Brothers in the service include: Pfc. Kenneth Davis, on Okinawa, and T. V. Davis, Jr., F, second class, now in the Pacific theater, and John Davis, who is serving in the medical corps in the Pacific. WEISBADEN, Germany Six thousand planes which cost nearly $1,000,000,000 are being scrapped by the U. S. Army in Europe be cause they are considered mili tarily obsolete and have no peace time use, according to offickils of the U. S. Air Force headquarters. Among those being broken up are 427 B-17 Flying Fortresses and 36 B-24 Liberators giant bombers which pulverized Hitler's defenses from long range. There are also 1.153 P-47 Thund erbolt fighters. 962 P-51 Mustang fighters. 180 P-38 Lightning fight ers, 308 A-20 Haxoc light bomb ers, 2.005 gliders and scores of miscellaneous craft. New PMths for Long distance ! To take care of the continued heavy volume of long distance calls, thousands of miles of long distance circuits are being added to the South's telephone network. As construction work progresses, calls now some times delayed, will begin to find new paths. In the I meantime, if your call happens to be delayed, we hope you will understand. We are fared with a big job that will take a lot of time and money to complete.
