This is a certificate, awarded for general news coverage, by the
North Carolina Press Association for 1949. This was also in the
semi-weekly division. The judging was done by the Journalism Dc
Partment of Emory University. ;
Last week The Mountaineer received four awards
one from the Haywood Demonstration farmers,
and then three press awards from the North Caro
lina Press Association.
Naturally, as anyone might realize, we are grate
ful for each of these awards, and accept them with
gratitude, and profound civic and professional pride.
However, in accepting such 'honors, we are aware
of the added responsibilities that must of necessity
accompany them.
The beautiful award from the farmers of our
county was in appreciation for our cooperation with
them in their comprehensive program.
. The three awards from the Press Association were
for the standards which we attained in the publish
ing field.
As we accept these awards, and place them with
prido in our office, we pledge to our readers, the de
termination to give you the best newspaper we know
how lo produce, and to'continue our undivided co
operation in the promotion of all things worthwhile
yes, the everlasting presentation of those things
which in our humble opinion will make "Haywood
an even better place in which to live."
To that end, we dedicate the awards and honors
we have recently received.
