They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo A New " Crop" Of Tourists News coming" out of Florida indicates that it is the middle class of people that are mak ing up the bulk of the tourist business there this season. In fact, a new "crop"' of tourists. People who have not been vacationing here- 1. i-fnrp. According to a United Press writer, the p!a es of business thai cater to the lniddle c!av- of vacationers are the ones that are d( -lag a good volume this season. The high priced places seem to be having less busi ness, the report showed. The fact that the middle class are again aeationing should give us a new ray of hope here in Wayncsville and this area. We are n.T prepared to cater to the extremely rich wealthy vacationer. Our places of busi es wire designed, and do make a business 1 taking care of the middle classes. During the flush war years, a lot of places r.i.ua a hid for the wealthy, who had gotten m-:!i overnight. There arc so few of those h;r.d ol people any more, that it is a wise i' 'inmiir.itv, such as ours, that caters to the masses. This community should see the handwrit ing on te wal 1 if we are interested in more t l1i isI btisiness. Note from the Florida rc piiVt -a new "crop", new faces, the majority never took a vacation before. The report also pointed out a large percentage of west ern farm families. The pendulum is swinging back, after hav-i-j leached the zenith in war years things are getting back toward normal even the ..cation business. We have a "fcreat oppor tunity here, but we must realize that the "new crop" does not know this community as a vacation center. They must be told, and "sold" when they g'-t here. Five Million Dollars That is a lot of money in any man's lan guage, especially when it is reahzed that 'hat sum was paid Haywood farmers for their hum commodities in 1948, Before one can start figuring the average income of the Haywood farmer, he must take i.nto consideration that many work at indus-" trial plans and farm on the side. If we had the facts, we believe we would find Haywood farmers have a much higher average income than the average in the South. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist elude early mental illness. Injury before, during, or after birth, and glandular disorders. Nor can the degree of the defect be estimated by "intelligence tests"- alone, but by study of the entire personality, including the extent to which thinking ability is p alyzcd by fear, or by a feeling of being "rejected." Con a "nice girl" love a criminal? Answer: Of course. There aie nany instances on record of crim inals having wives or sweethearts who 'were decent, law-abiding women. But whether she's con scious of the fact or not and fre quently she isn't at bottom the woman usually falls In love be cause the man's lawless behavior gtres second-hand expression to part of her character which he has always repressed and be lieves she disapproves of.

Answer: Inherited weakness Is not the main factor m most cases. Mental deficiency is not a dis ease; it is a symptom which maja be produced by. many causes, among which heredity is relative- ' ly minor.

Do "subconscious" md "unconscious" moon' the same? -Answer: No,' though the two words 'are frequently confused in popular writing on psychology. While'psychlatrists seldom tese it, "subconscious" describes the Memories' and ideas which are not "in your mind" at the moment but 'are where you can recall them if you want to tike your first im pression of the girl you married. Your "unconscious" mind con tains a mass of fears ond urges you know nothing at all about and can be aware of only if somebody shows them to you. The real rea sons Why 'you 'ten to love were probably "unconscious."' V tt- X' uJUILE E S AT IT MAyffq ' SHE'S SO W-THiS LITTLE CAKE V TLL HER THIS IS 0NL v TH gLL & , JUST HTMLK.

The customer told htr that she would take one and took out a dime. The clerk, now doubly ambitious, smiled sweetly: "Better lak'i? both" she sugirted, "you might have two mice."

In fact, some of the women of the State Agriculture Department used lo complain at times because their boss seemed to care so little about his personal appearance. The hats he wore looked like they had just been pulled oul of the barn loft and his suits as if he had slept in I hem. Not any more. He is beginning to look much more like a Governor ban a dairy farmer. His lies now have modern patterns. His suits look as if they had just come from the cleaners. His shoes are always neal ly. shined. Well, as Governor, he makes $15,000 per year, lias servants, etc., where as Agriculture Conimisionei he drew only $6,600, had to drive each day from Haw diver to Raleigh and back and was not averse to doing a little milkin" or fetching home a straying cow before leaving for the capital.
