Indian drama is going to bring an influx of visitors into this area this season that will in all liklihood over-tax present facilities. . As a suggestion, and a. .np-.y idea of help ing relieve the situation. Cart G.w.rch, editor of The State, proposed a plan at the Chamber of Commerce banquet of establishing for this season a "tent city" on the Reservation. His suggestion was that army tents, and cots be used, with the Cherokees staging a dance a round a bonfire after the performances every .night... '" ; ; ; : Mr. Goerch's feelings in, the matter, was that the novelty of, spending the night in a tent in an atmosphere, of "Indians every where" would be a drawing card, in addition . to giving visitors a place to stay. The proposal has merit, and no doubt would attract a lot of people, especially those with children. ' The success of the venture would be, de pendent entirely on the weather. A. cool,, damp seasson would play havoc with such a plan, but that is a chance taken with any business undertaking. If the proposal materializes, we expect there are many a local citizen who;will find themselves sleeping under canvas for one night in order to satisfy the, children.

But on the afternoon of the par ty, the lady's "fib" came back and rang her front door bell. A party of four from her home town un expectedly arrived to spend! the weekend!- , Monday Afternoon, May 1, 1950 !;Candidates Will Be Here ( At least two senatorial candidates are slat ed to invade Haywood this week-end, and Ithus give the voters a first-hand opportunity y,Xo see and hear them. The candidates are llSenator Frank P. Graham, and Willis Smith. SjPerhaps by the time this gets into print, a fjthird candidate, Robert R. Reynolds will have fjadded Haywood to his list of places to visit. jj Haywood, is interested in the senatorial (campaign far more so than the average jcounty. And Haywood is fast gaining the re futation of serving as a sounding board for ilthe state when it comes to politics. ! This week-end should see plenty of politi cal activity here, and the senatorial race add- Jed to Haywood's own local races will bring Ijout a lot of interested voters to look, listen, and meditate. Ljooking BackOver The Yearsi Jce Cream Is Good, Too Mrs. Sarah A, Swope's pronouncements on j: ice cream and the ice cream cone confirm an Hmpression that has been growing on us for the pasf 40-odd years. Mrs. Swope is 100 i years old, lives in Lancaster, Pa., and eats an Jice crea mcone every day. "I don't like ice jjcream," she explains. "I just eat it for the Ijcone." Jj Older people don't like circuses, either; jjthey only go to take the children. They don't 'like operating electric trains, flying kites, or 'going up and down on seesaws. When thev a r. . . 1 . - ,1. . . . ,1 : .'1 il. T . 1 '.continue uomg uiese inings wnue me kiu !dies are clamoring for their turn, it is solely jjbecause they want to show the youngsters Ihow to do it, or it is too dangerous for the 'immature, or something. ;f Our notion the 40-odd-year one is thai the time people start getting old is when Ahey have to find excuses for doing what they jlwant to do, instead of just doing it. Mrs. iSwcpe can't tell us. she looks on a double .jdip strawberry ripple with complete indif ference.. Personally, we'd rather be 100, and digging into a plain vanilla cone for the ' unadorned heck of it, than to be 5 again and eating a giant, marshmallow-nut sundae for Itthe sake of the nourishment.

' Leave It To The Women , This week the 24 Home Demonstration Clubs of Haywood are observing National Home Demonstration Week, with appropri ate programs, and "a renewal of interest in the work of the organizations. Here in Haywood, the work of the Home Demonstration clubs is well known, since there are 585 active members, all working on the program designed to create ''Better Home and Farm Living." The Home Demonstrations clubs are not just social groups which meet and rehash the latest gossip. The members have worthwhile projects, and work hard to see thern through. Each nlonth the members meet, and there learn to do practical things through demon strations given by someone who knows the subject. It might be a project leader, or coun ty leader. The various reports from the 24 clubs as published in. this issue today are indicative of the calibre of work being carried on here in Haywood. Their work is entirely worth while, and the results are helping to make , Haywood a better place in which to live. 15 YEARS AGO Copies of Haywood County Booster Edition of The Waynes ville Mountaineer go to distant places.

GREENWOOD STILL GOING STRONG Form- enough to live on while serving Florida Voters To Show Trend Of National Thought Tomorrow the Democratic voters of. Flori da will nominate a United States Senator naming either Senator Claude Pepper, or Rep. George Smathers. The entire nation is watching the outcome of this race, which has developed in interest along national; lines. The campaigning has been hard, and the issues far-reaching. Senator Pepper's platform and record leans overwhelmingly towards an increased "wel fare State", while Rep. Smathers thinks it time for the government .to "get back to sound business principles." On these issues, anc many personal charges, the campaign has created much in terest, and in addition to that, here in Hay wood, Rep. Smathers has many friends and relatives, which adds to the local anxiety of the outcome. Some political observers have even pre dicted that the trend in the Florida election, on Tuesday will be reflected in national elec tions. It should be a good political barometer for 1950, and as a thermometer, the race re gisters "torrid hot." ' er Gov.-Ex-Sen.-Former Congress man Cameron Morrison is plugging hard for Sen.

DRYS LOSE In the decision of L. A. Martin of Davidson and Qeorge T, Penny of . Guilford not to run for the House and Senate respectively, this time, the ilrys lost two able champions. Martin is one of the ablest soloris the pro liibitioni'its have had in the House and atone time during the 1940 legislature led the House in pray er in connection with some piec of dry legislation, lie didn't win out, hut those who favored the legal sale of beer, wine, and whis key were never comfortable when Martin was around. He gave them some hard, jolts and several bed- rollnuj nights. The funster of the Legislature last time---and any time wluti he was here -was Auctioneer GcorRc Penny. In the sober-sided State Senate, he provided the comedy re lief, much to the delight of hored visitors and gallery and lobby kib itzers, He wasn't as serious with his advocacy of a Statewide liquor referendum . as was Martin, but every bit as ardent.

PENNY In a Legislature hound ed by money-hungry Stale depart ments, lobbyists, and the cantanker ous and cranky eager beavers aifd do-gooders, a jolly soul and a dry wit are needed. Penny never crack ed a smile, but when he stood and stretched his big-built, rangy, bet-ter-than-six foot frame, hands 'on Tiips, the- Senate grew quiet with the assurance it was soon to receive a fine combination of good sense and good humor, Penny's scat was next to that of the late Joe Blythe of Charlotte; and on at least one occasion Sen.

HAYWOOD COUNTY HOSPITAL, IS "TOPS" Editor The Mountaineer: I think that our Haywood County Hospital here is really tops. 1 just had two weeks experience there and I must say that the effi ciency of everyone and the kind ness and the excellent service is. really something marvelous. That , these people are abl$ to give to so many patients such good service shows that they really en joy their work, and just by looking at them one can see that really everybody seems to enjoy thehj work, very, very much, I want to mention, that the food served at the hospital is certainly much better than in many a good restaurant where I have eaten, and maybe it: wouldn't be a bad idea if the hospital would add a resr tauranf for people when they want a good meal cheap.
