' EDITORIAL NATIONAL mnb Carolina w4V J Thursday AHernooii, March 23, ldoO ' . ." ' ' - . ' ,;. .' : ,' . , , . "Bigger & Better," We Predict One of our readers, in all sinceritv, has asked us our opinion as to the approaching tourist season. Before we answer that,' we feel it well to m remind our readers that The Mountaineer always tries to be conservative in such state Z ments, and sometimes might be accused of X being just a little too conservative. A careful analysis of the prospects for the approaching season leads us to predict, bar Z ring sorne unforseen epidemic, the best Z tourist season Haywood has ever enjoyed. JJ We readily realize thaf such a statement J covers a lot of territory, and a long period JJ of time', but it is for these reasons that we reached such a decision: ." (1) Americans are going to travel more. Z (2) We have more facilities now, and we . believe the tourist operators are going after the business. . , , " ' (3) The completion of the 4-H Club Camp .m is going to bring in many parents of the boys and girls at the camp. JJ. (4) We should get a like number of par 2 ents visiting sons at the Boy Scout camp and 2 the new, St. John's Camp for Boys, and other older established camps. Z (5) The program being staged by Lake Junaluska throughout the South is destined JJ to bring in more people. ' J (6) The Cherokee drama is also bound to ? create interest in travel in tnis direction. - ' ',i '.?(" - (7) -Interest in the Park and isgah is - - steadily increasing. - 2 (8) The Tourist Association is determm , . 2 ed that the would-be-vacationer will know aoout this area. (9) We will havp n inrtrp Hplpontinn nf !' Z this will ''.give; reg'ional publicity, and addi- ; JJ tional interest in the area. ' " ' ' ' ' ' (.? There are, of course, many;, other reasons f and all added together, are why we predict a banner year for the approaching tourist ogress In a special supplement in today's issue, The Mountaineer is presenting in a limited manner, a brief review of the past 50, years. .We. want to emphasize the fact that this is a brief .review, because to give full cover age to the , achievements and accomplish ments in Haywood county over the past 50 years would require far more space, and time than is practical to attempt. . We have devoted much of the Edition to pictures of the pas(, and a few well-selected articles which appeared in earlier issues of this newspaper. We are using the reprints for two reasons first, to give the facts of what happened in that era, and second, in order to show the difference in handling news today and yesteryears. t We have used enough general articles arid illustrations to show the trend of the times, and to give the younger generation some idea of hpw( far; the world has advanced since the turn qf the century. That- is one- reason you will find a generous usage of pictures of old automobiles and horse-drawn carriages. This edition, as we said above, is not de signed as giving a full account of 50 years of hisiory it is designed to make us think back over the years, realize just how far we have come, and with continued cooperation, and increased civic pride, we can accomplish even more during the next 50 years. We appreciate the interest shown in this edition, and the many, many people who loaned us pictures of the years gone by.'With out these pictures, the edition would not have been possible. We are sorry for the delay. Our original plans, were to publish this the last week in February. Just as things were getting into .full swing, the "flu" bug struck, and some of the people who were to devote almost their entire time on the edition were taken ill and some are still out.

An Annual Tribute Just as Girl Scouts over the nation were observing their National week, the death angel called home one of the most consistent workers the Girl Scout organization ever had Mrs. E; C. Wagenfeld. Mrs. Wagenfeld worked hard with the Scout organization and took over the reins when the project was new, and the going hard. From now on when Haywood Girl Scouts observe their annual National week, they should always pay high tribute to their de parted leader, because she deserves the recognition. Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWOOD MAN OF HALF.CENTURY A weekly newsmagazine some time back came out with Winston Chur chill as its man of the half-century. Now Carl Goerch, editor of "The State," a weekly magazine ' pub lished .in Raleigh, . wonders who would be chosen by North Carolin ians as the half-century man for North Carolina. He." conjectures with R, J. Reynolds, James , B. Duke, and others. Although Charles B. Aycock died early in the cen tury, he would be considered bv many as the most Important North Carolinian of 1900-1930. To many the choice would be .easy: Jospphus Daniels. , . , It would be interesting if some county DaperS' in the State would attempt to determine by letters, from readers and otherwise the outstanding men of their respec tive counties clunni! the past 50 the average corn yield per. acre in this State was only 15 bushels, but now it is around 30 and there are scores of 100-bushel-an-acre farmers. A similar growth has been shown in the tobacco yield per acre. . Merchants are working to bring science into their stores the sci ence of buying, selling, handling advertising, etc.. in an. effort to get away from the somewhat hap hazard methods of store operation once employed. season. Detroit Learns of Iark. Seems like the people up around Detroit are beginning to hear, about the Great Smok iqs. According to The Detroit Free Press, their travel department is receiving a lot. of requests for information about the Park. The requests indicate a record season, The Press reports. -.'

We may, come close' to agreeing on the mo tives Jtfiat drove somebody to com-v mit murder, but how far he under-, -stood or could have resisted them may still be doubtful. m m m m . I : Aria men's mincis different from animals'? LnswerYes, In several i ways, of which perhaps the most impor tant is that as far as we know men alone possess imagination. Animals react to actual situations such as being hungry, but only men are; emotionally stirred by ; situations which exist ..only In i " their niinds, like the possibility oi being hungry some time in the future. Most of man's inventions --like the aeroplane existed in his imagination .centuries, before he found out how to make them, and would not havi been made if , . they had not But imagination can :: be a curse if it causes worry. Can' 'lanity" be an open V qMestion? Answer: Yes, , When one psy chiatrist says that a person was sane at the time when he com mitted a crime while another "ex pert". .Maintains lie , was, . insane, neither ope maxpe .mistaken fjoaj a scientific standpoint. For "sane" Can you find out, your uncon scious feelings? s Answer: Not unless some out- r side agency reveals tbem,,to you For the very naiure of these feel-, ings is that their existence never occurs to you because the force of "repression" keeps them from en- , tering your conscious mind. The most you can hope to do Is recog nize them when they are called to your attention. You might say, for instance: "How strange that I never realized hat the reason I , hate Bill so much is that 1 was so anxious to have him like me.w "BuJ., , ,you ,. never would . have ' thougwof ttasitsomeoii hadnbt' made you aware of it LITERATURE If you are any account at all, you should soon be gin receiving campaign "literature" from the various candidates. That word, "literature", is one of the most overworked in the , English language. A fellow here in Raleigh was sounding off along those lines the other day when a friend asked him to drop by the office for a minute. The friend then opened a dictionary, turned to the word, and one of the meanings given lit eratuer was as follows.: "printed matter Issued for a special pur pose; as campaign literature". So there you are. ROADSIDE ADORNMENT It just isn't, going to. seem, right not to be able to compare the number of roadside pictures of Frank.

Smith, managers declare they will send out the placards and their followers mayjuse them as they See fit. Well, pictures cost and paste board, costs, too, and Graham's planners think they can use their funds more profitably in another direction. The Smith' people .say the folks have , a right to know what their candidate stands for as well i 'coks like, CHAIR OF RETAILING There are now approximately 25 separate drives among merchants of the Stat to raise funds with which, to establish" practical, down-to-earth courses in retailing at the Univer sity of North Carolina. With a goal of $200,000 for the State as a whole, quotas have been set up for the various cities.
