April 25. 1949 A Competitive Field Optimism prevails on every hand about the coining tourist season. Reports of those who have spent time in the Southern areas bring back encouragement this season will be a big one. Barring epidemics, the season will be just as big as the effort put behind it by local in terests. The saying that this is the "buyers mark et' is just as true in the vacation field, as in the mercantile field. It is going to take selling to get vacationists heie. and it is going to take satisfying them alter they arrive. Just because a person stops here overnight does not necessarily mean he or she is "sold'' on the community. The profit comes when those peopie go away happy, and determined to come back. This job of successfully selling tourists, and making them like what wc have to offer is glowing keener every day. It is highly com petitive field, and one that needs careful study and planning, plus lots of hard work. Faith In The Future The improvement of business property, and the erection of new places of business, is very much in evidence in Waynesville. Two places of business are improving and expanding their facilities, while four new store buildings are being erected. This work is actually under construction. There are other projects being contemplat ed along this same line. All of this proves that the business section is steadily growing, and expanding in all fields. Such action is proof that business men have faith in the future, and judging from the past, this faith is more than justified. $0M SUMMER IS MERE, AND TRSADY ASKED FOR ThIREE VACATION INSTEAD OF TWO.

This is proven by the fact that some 400 attended the an nual fiddlers convention at Maggie recently. There are but few homes but what have at one time or another owned a fiddle, and many members of the family tried their hand at "making music." Most people know that it is harder than it looks, and that it requires nimble fingers and a quick action of the wrist to do a good job. We feel that .one reason so many people attend is to see and hear "how the other fel low" does with a fiddle. There is a certain amount of curiosity connected with such events. 10 YEARS AGO Interest is centered in municipal elections this week. Mayors Way and Prevost oft Waynesville and Hazelwood are unopposed. Plans are underway for the open ing of curb markets by home demonstration clubs of the countv. hostess of contract party for brids-elecl.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE What do you think of Governor Scott's S200.000.fl00 road bond bill? Jerry Refers: "It's a lot of money. And I think it's too much to ask for right now.

She had invited in a few friends to meet a summer visitor who possessed a very fine voice. The young lady had obligingly rendered sevptal songs and as she fniislina the last, she started to sit down when one of the guests gushed "That was beautiful. And won't you please sing just one more'' h is my favorite and 1 know you could do it justice. Please sinp 'L'Amour, Toujours L'Amoiir'." The young singer looked her as tonishment. "Why ..." she hesi tatedly and confusedly replied, "that is the song I just finished singing." "Life begins at forty" and ends for some one when the speedometer goes up to ninety. They looked like a good substan- 1 tial couple as they sat nn one of the -green benches and watched their pet Bcottie roll on the grass. ! Then their voices rose a little, then higher, and a misunderstanding Ho put it kindly) was in full swing. It ! went on for quite -a few minutes, then a sudden hush. We looked to see what had happened. The lit tle Scottie was in front of them, on his haunches, paws wavering in the air. and he was doing his little act of begging. It worked like a charm and the misunderstanding thuijJ?1 ' V(.u .i ''I M.nr (a, T.'r , 4 elder v i.j 1 "'r tt-nipfjj Wag, (hr tin - r it Hi i Mimed i J has ben J There is ( make-up tf and wholly, and poer. and how pensible abused Pi art J think!

The ttr let of IBM Capital Lett By EULA NIXON GREE.l Time To Remcriiher It is interesting to note that the Memorial Marker in Memorial Plot is well' underway, and will be ready to dedicate on May 29th. On the other hand, it is a little depressing to note that funds to pay for the $2,280 mark er are coming in slowly. The Gold Star Par ents of Haywood started the campaign, and are being assisted by the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the two auxiliaries of both organizations. The town and county have contributed to the cost of erecting walls, grading and land tcraping the plot, and well as the property it selt. The matter of paying for the monument winch is being erected to the memory of those who have died in the service of their country remains the duty of the citizens of the county. Back during the days of the war, the pat noisrn of America was at a high level. Today, when it comes time to honor those who gave then all, is also a time for patriotism to rise again. Haywood has never failed on such a pro ject, and she will come through this time. The time is short, and there is much to be raised. Now is the time to show our appreciation for those who have clone all they can for their country, and will rest beneath the sod of Memorial Plot. It's Time To Pay Up Apparently a lot of folk have been laugh ing to themselves when they got a ticket for parking overtime against a parking meter. Now it is no longer a laughing matter. Motorists who have been throwing the tickets away, or sticking them in the glove compartment of their car, had better begin gathering them up and. going to the city hall with some money. The police are checking on the delinquent violators, and have an nounced they will issue warrants on May first for all outstanding violations. Not so long ago, one motorist took the tickets as a joke, and after accumulating quite a few, had the police come to see him. He paid a tidy sum, plus costs, and regrets the day he forgot to run straight to the city hall and pay up.

THE WINNER While the Legis lature has been cursed a great deal, it has, nevertheles?, gone along with Scott to the extent of spend ing every nime in sight for the next two years. It could not have spent more without raising your taxes. It has permitted the Gov ernor 'o spend $7,500,000 for ports. He is also getting his road and school bona votes. He has lost out on some relatively minor matters, but if (vou have louked on the past three-and-a-half months as a fight between Scott and the General As sembly, then Scott must be put down as the winner.

A mature man might have a ttrong natural impulse to kill a successful rival for bis wife's affections, but only an immature, neurotic man would act upon it Arc hobbies cm antidota to ntrvowt breakdown? Answer: Yes, if you can keep , from taking them too seriotuly. The average man's job is essen tially a struggle for survival, in which failure would involve real danger to him and his loved ones, and too many men transfer the cense of struggle to the things thejr should be doing "for fun."
