August 11. 194 9 A Bigger Convention When 1.700 people travel far back into the country over dirt roads to attend a sminu convention, that is interest of the highest degree. Last Sunday 1.700 people tended the 12th annual Singing Convention of the Salvation Army at the Citadel near Maple Springs. This was about twice the number attending the event in 1948. which signifies the urowinu interest which has been aroused over the past few years. The Sinking' Convention is noii-commer-cial. and the singers as'well as the audience attend and take part just tor the sheer joy of listening to music and making music. As time goes on. no dui.bt the convention will rival anv now being held in the state. Questions in Reverse This week our reporters reversed things lor the "Voice of the People" and instead of asking our readers to answer a question, they turned it around and let our readers ask a question. The column has a number of questions that show there are many civic protects that need attention. Neither the reporters, nor The Mountain eer, can begin to answer many of the ques tions. We do have our own opinions on them, but are not attempting to answer them, because so many are out of our jurisdiction. We are glad to see that so many people have civic matters on their minds. It shows the trend of thinking; it shows that the citizens are mindful of needed improv ements. And when people get to thinking about such matters, it is comparatively easy to get action. 10 Nights of Rain Out of 392 The sponsors and backers of the Cherokee Pageant for next summer will no doubt be encouraged by the news coming from Manteo about the outdoor theatre there which has featured "The Lost Colony'' ffr nine years. So far the pageant has been given 392 times, and only ten times during the nine years has the pageant been postponed due to rain. Trrat is a .jnightAv good average of only one ba8 night in every forty. It will be interesting to compare the rain figures of the east with the west just as soon as the Cherokee Pageant gets underway next summer. Solo Oau Dance Tem Wins Ag3n It is getting so these days that yhen the ' Soco Gap Dance Team wins first place in a Folk Festival it is hardly news they win so often. Perhaps we should temper that statement a little, but the team is at least a consistent winner, and always attracts much attention wherever an exhibition is staged. The team, under the direction of Sam Queen, take their dancing seriously, yet get lots of fun from it. They have the rhythm, the spirit, and the determination to win. Such a combination usuallv does. i hey 11 Do It Every Time1 By Jimmy Hatlo Salesman stresses rear View, man and wife eoy- WOULDN'T yOU ? A Hotel for Whiteville About 18 months ago, the citizens of White ville decided they needed a modern commer cial hotel. To make a long story short, they organized a company, sold stock, and have given a contract for the immediate construction of the building. And on top of that they have signed a lease with one of the largest hotel chains in the country to operate the place. Within a reasonable time the stockholders will get their money back, with interest, and the town will still have a modern hotel. The people of Whiteville just made up their minds that they were going to have a hotel. And today, workmen are laying brick and welding steel as construction moves forward. This is further proof that any civic project can be acomplished when the people want it accomplished. -Ami? notice Taz maximum YlSil?iLlTy OF ThE NEW REAR. r WINDOW-SlTy-Sl INCHES WIDE-ELIMINATES ACCI- DEKLkS-'-cjIvES YOU AM gFAUTiRJL!

The annual flower shows held here many years attracted much attention, and espe cially the dahlia shows, which were almost a thing out of this world. The revival of the exhibition of flowers is a decided note of progress for this continu ity. To be sure, the show will not be worth much from a monetary standpoint, but it will give every citizen who takes the time to attend a deeper appreciation of nature, and of the beauty that exists. It will take our minds off the commercial world for a while, and let us realize that some of the most beautiful things of life have such a chea-p price tag, but that man has yet failed to accurately copy or dupli cate what Mother Nature has bountifully be stowed upon us. This newspaper welcomes the revival of the flower show, and we feel we speak the sentiment of hundreds of citizens who too appreciate the better things of life. 15 YF.AKS A(iO ; I. aw is revealed making il manda- lory that a I niled Stalls Kla' and North Carolina I'la;: be hung be- ; hind Ihe judge's bench in each (null house in the slale.

Such events afford an opportunity for renewed fellowship, and to make new acquaintances. The family reunion is one of the events of the old social world that has been success fully carried over into the new.

Answer: You can never "know all about" anybody under any circumstances, any more than you can absolutely know your self, and however long you may live with another person, you are never wholly safe against sur prises. But day-by-day contact usually does reveal sides of any one's personality which may not appear If you see hbn only occa sionally.
