Not ember 2!!. 1919 A Feast Provided By Nature The Cherokee Indians arc keeping alive a tradition that is older than America, in staging their harvest feast. On Sunday the Cherokees will state their annual feast, which will make the average loaded Thanksgiving table look skimpy. The Indians are a p'eat live-at-home peo ple, and for this occasion, thev are having a feast of the things which thev urow. kill on hunts, or find in the woods. All the food is trulv native to this section, and will be pre pared and served stvle. in tvpical early Indian A casual check-over of the menu shows just what an astounding variety of things are available if one has the initiative to so after it and take a little trouble in seekine it. There is one point that we should not over look in connection with this feast. The en tire menu is made up of foods which Mother Nature has provided for those who will t!o after it. There are the nuts, wild fruits, L'ame. and even the drinks ma:!e from herbs. And all during the centuries Mother Na ture has not changed. Only the tastes of man. and his desire to yet things easier and easier. A Big Program Of Variety Although the Festival started Tuesday nifht. this delayed word of welcome comes just on the eve of the second nitht's pro cram, and the beginning of what looks like the best festival ever staged here. Those in charge of the programs have lit erally gone to the far corners of the country in getting, some of the best platform speak ers and entertainers. It can be truly said that there is no? a dull program on the schedule. Everyone different, and a highlight within itself. Another striking, thing; about the program is the wide variety which has been injected into it this year. There is everything from dances to relig ious services. There is football, and serious speeches. There is a parade that is expected to outdo anything ever seen on the streets here, and talent shows galore. There is a program somewhere in the fes tival that should appeal to the fancy of every person, regardless of what he likes or does not like. With a favorable break in weather con ditions, it looks like the best ever. Thanksgiving Tomorrow, Americans all over the world will observe Thanksgiving Day in their own manner. Many will go to church and offer thanks, j Some will look on the occasion as just an-1 other holiday, and an opportunity to get a way from work. Others will mix a church ! service with other activities, and to others it i will be a day when the family gets together I ar.d recall yesteryears as they enjoyed the an nual feast. No matter how the day is observed, every- j one will be aware of the fact that it is , Thanksgiving. j And we cannot feel that there are any j people in this nation today, that can let this day pass without being truly thankful. j Certainly those of us living here in Hay wood have everything for which we should be grateful. What better climate can one find than rk'ht here in Haywood? What more favor able health conditions? Where is there greater diversification of! business which means a satisfactory economic situation? Just where would one go to find friendlier people? Certainly there is no place where the peo ple are more liberal in supporting worth while projects. It all adds up that this is a place of health, with a satisfactory economic status, and hap piness. What more could one ask? On this Thanksgiving "Day, all this should be remembered, and a prayer of thanks given for the fact that you are a citizen of such a well-balanced county, in a progressive state, and in America.

A Big Decision For Farmers Saturday Burley is truly "king" of Haywood's cash crops. Since something like a million dollars comes into the county every year from the crop, it is more than passing interest that the growers give serious consideration to the balloting on Saturday of market quotas. The question coming up to be voted upon Saturday is whether the growers will approve marketing quotas for the 1950 crop. Haywood growers have always voted over whelming for the quotas. The farmers producing tobacco this year will get to vote on the three questions: 1. Do you favor quotas for three years, beginning with 1950? 2. Do you oppose quotas for three years but favor the quota for one year? '4. Do you oppose any quota? If the quotas are again approved by the growers, then the acreage allotments will be continued at a level designed to keep pro duction in proper balance with the demand. There will be acreage allotments in 1950 pro vided the plan is approved. This is an important decision to be made. It is an economic question at stake, and the growers realize this and certainly will take it seriously. Agricultural leaders who have thoroughly studied the matter, unhesitatingly urge growers to approve the plan again. G. C. Plot t is named county game and forestry warden. Mrs. W. I,.
