The depot was closed last fall, and 'he i citizens of Clyde got busy and demanded thit the State Utilities Commission order the depot re-opened. The order has come through. This newspaper has always hfd ihat there was a progressive spirit in Clyde, and much civic pride. The citizens of Clyde were determined to get what they felt was justly theirs, and they did. . Not so many years ago, there was a sin at the Clyde town limits which read: "Watch Clyde Grow." We expect just any day to ,ee that sin enlarged with great big letters, as the citizens there renew their efforts for enlarging the community. j And from all reports, it looks as if the I newly organized Lions Club might be a j leader in that respect, together with others, j They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo LTgo MAE IT EASY FOR TAB HAU5FR4US EJ AN?

Aligns! 1. 11)49 Too Big An Undertaking At the beginning, we should readily admit that perhaps we should keep silent on this subject, but since there are so many Baptists 111 Haywood, perhaps we are within our partial rights in making a criticism. Several years ago the State Baptists leased a large beach tract near Wilmington for a summer assembly. The tract was owned by the government and the Baptists took an option to buy. When the lease expired the cither day. t he Baptists of the state exercised their op tion, and paid $86,000 for the beach property. Many years ago the Baptists of North Carolina bought and expanded the facilities ot a summer assembly at Ridgeerest. on the brink of the Blue Ridge just east of Ashcville. It appears to us that the Tar Heel Baptists would have been much better o(T to have spent the $86,000 on improving Ridgecresi. instead of buying additional property which will take many thousands to develop, to say nothing of upkeep for the years to come. We are afraid they might be scattering their shot too thin. One of the two assemblies is bound to suffer in the years to come and a staunch supporter of Western North Carolina enterprises, we are selfish enough to admit, we hope it won't be Ridgecrest. 15 YEARS A(iO Oxer -Hi. 0(H) pounds (it black Ij f 1 1 ic-- m ( ( aimed ;il I !a' local can ni'f.v tlui'iiii! lilt' past seven weeks. 1 !14J tvpliuid iieeiiuitiiuis eiveii l) Health Department.

We Have Something After AH In a letter to the editor, appearing on this page. Mrs. Brading calls attention to many things which a lot of people here take for granted, until they go away, or find that other places do not have such facilities. Mrs. Brading writes at length about the facilities of the Haywood Public Library, and the work it is doing, although understaffed, and handicapped due to the lack of room. While it is no excuse, it is apparent that when such a project as the Library is smarted, and it grows steadily, that it is harder for the people who see it every day to realize fully the magnitude of its value to the citizens ot the community. The Writer of the letter to the editor fully realizes what the Library, the progressive stores, aad other enterprises mean to a town. While we -do nbfr 'suggest moving away in order to get a broad, and clearer vision of many of our enterprises, it might be well worth while to give more consideration before condemning the town as "having nothing." Accused of Being Asleep Hold tight to your hats. This sudden burst of news might blow it off. Can you imagine, some officials in Raleigh have even mentioned in the stme breath "Tourists and Western North Carolina." It is almost unbelievable. Outside of the State News Bureau, very few people on the State payroll in Raleigh know anything about this area until it comes time to get votes, then they always look upon this area as it produces the votes during an election. But before we get you too excited about what the officials said, perhaps we had best quote them direct: "Western North Canflinu is asleep." And there you have the label that has been stamped upon us. All these years we have been crying like lost children in a wilderness to get state recognition for the area west of the French Broad, and then like a bolt of thunder comes the accusation we are "asleep." It all started in a meeting of the Highway Commission, and the following account was given by the Raleigh News and Observer: "North Carolina can take a lesson from Canada. Highway Commissioner R. K. Earp declares. As a tourist himself on occasions. Dr. Earp says the Canadians seemed to know the secret for luring tourists back again and again. "But in North Carolina, Dr. Earp com plained, too many of us are lax. ' -Western North Carolina is asleep." he ( claimed, for all its tourist promotion. "To wake the State up a bit touristwise, Earp proposed inai ine nignway commission ; S1()11, 1 . referred to as W. Czar get together with the Department of Conser- . Scnti. vation and work out some program. As a ' - starter he proposed that rest spots, at which tourists might park and lunch or lounge, be built along scenic sections of main-line State highways. "The rest spots could be equipped with tables and benches through cooperation with civic clubs, he explained, and the whole scheme would cost little. "Fellow commissioners agreed. Members Joseph Graham of Iron Station, Earp and L. Dale Trash of Asheville were named as a committee to begin drawing up plans."
