July 21. 1919 Square Dance Popularity The popularity of square dances is spread ing over the nation, with classes bciru: taught in many sections of the country. There is just something about a square dance that fascinates both the dancer and the spectator, and that makes tor a tjoucl combination. Residents of Haywood -have for years en joyed square danciny. and today, some of the best-known teams that ever swept across the floor are from this count. v. One of the best known square (lancers and callers is Sam Queen, and he has re ceived national recognition for his ability to organize and execute graceful dance teams. Evidence of the popularity of square danc ing in Haywood can be had by looking in on the dances which are held here throughout the year. Not only is square dancing growing and becoming more popular in the nation, but right here at home, what is often thought of as the American birthplace of square dancing, it is still gaining in popularity. On the front pa.e of Monday's issue of this newspaper, there appeared a headline which read: "Tourist Season Seen As Good Here." The article was based on an interview with the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as some other sources of general in formation. Since the article appeared, we have had several people call attention to the fact that they took exception to the word "good." There are a lot of visitors here. That is a fact, and one that almost everyone will agree upon. It is true that there are many places that are not having to hang out the "No Vacancy" sign, but then one must remember that there have been many additional places : erected here in the past twelve months which are catering to summer visitors. It is hard for one firm, or one operator, to judge the entire area by his or her own par ticular business. Many of the new places are enjoying good business, and this is their first year, while some of the places which have been in oper ation for many, many years, are not pleased with the business they are getting. This newspaper has said time and time ' again that the summer tourist business was a highly competitive field. Not only is it com- , . petitive between communities in the moun- ; tains, but there is the seashore of this state. and the tourist centers of many other states that are making strong bids for the tourists" dollar. Not so many years ago it was possible to start out and visit within a short time every place in this community that catered to tourists. Just try it today, and you will find that it is a day's work even to drive to the scores of places. Many which the local people hardly know exist. The "rocking chair" days have passed. The days when visitors brought their trunk and settled down in a boarding house for the season is also fast passing. The visitors today are on wheels, and the sooner we adjust ourselves to this fact, and roll up our sleeves and go after the "harder-to-gct" visitor's dollar, the better off we will be.

At least twenty couples, and perhaps many more, have married after meeting each other while members of the cast. In almost every instance, the cruplesj bad not known each other prior to wt5rm irf the' east. Perhaps such news as this will be of interest to some marriage-minded young folks in this area, and will induce them to try and get roles in the pageant which will begin next summer at Cherokee. appear when the real reason is known. The campers are from many states, and on December 25th are often thousands of miles apart. To remember each other then with a gift would create the problem of wrapping and mailing packages when the mails are already crowded. By staging Christmas when all the campers are together, it gives them an opportunity.1'' to enjoy the fellowship and the satisfaction of seeing the reaction of opening their gifts. And we presume the parents of the campers just as soon the Christmas event be staged at camp during the summer rather than add just that much more confusion dur ing the busy holiday season. The major problem of observing Christ mas in July for the average person would be getting into the frame of mind. But that, we understand, is very easy just forget the date, concentrate on the event, enter into the spirit, and the first thing you know you are yelling "Merry Christmas" with as much enthusiasm as if it were December 25th. engineers and then recommendations." a-g'inst cussin' an' silch like?"

In most cases, what they want is masculine attention end the "good jhsn" wme tsey Are educated people more often neurotic? Answer: Probably, though we may b misled by the fact that they would be more apt to recog nise the condition and. seek treat ment for it.

P.) A 75-year-old New York Central switch man who gave up a medical prac tice to work on the railroad, has filed suit in federal court to pre vent the NYC from retiring him. Annur L. GrlfTin of Elkhart, Ind., told the court how he had given un his medical career in 1917 to go on the railroad. Being a doc tor was ''too confining." "My father was a railroad en gineer, killed in 1896. My uncle was a railroader for 50 years," Griffin said. "There must be some thing in our blood." Griffin stayed on the job until May 17, 1947, when he was thrown irom a box ear, suffering head and neck injuries. The company ad vised him to retire on an annuity. Griffin began suit, asking full reinstatement or $40,000 compensa tion for his injuries. rabs out han'fuils o' hav as he slides - down."
