According to The Times, the average New Yorker takes for granted what the visitors are eager to see. The same thing is true here in the mountains, and so it goes. Ijere is The Times' version: """It is hard to estimate exactly how many strangers come to our big town during the holiday' season. In some countries the figure (jbuld be easily had, for everybody would h,ave to register with' the police. In other countries there wouldn't be any figure, since grangers would not be encouraged to move around. Here we must add up totals furnish- f by railroads, airlines, bus lines and high ay toll booths and arrive at the conclusion tjiat it would take pur visitors a long time to ljass a given point. In fact, we can see them : with our own eyes passing given points, or, in some cases, standing patiently in line and liot passing any point, given or otherwise, for long periods of time. ;" i CJan a New Yorker, copyrighted, patented avid typical, be distinguished offhand from an out-of-town visitor? The answer is yes and no.. Everybody dresses alike these days. Farm ers do not wear whiskers. At least they wear iio more whiskers than city folks. Nobody, in tie -sense of a generation or so ago, is any gVeerier than anybody else. City folks are not sophisticated, as any body watches them try ijrrg to get off and on a subway train at the s&me moment must admit. City folks do not see so many Broadway plays they are not cjn vacation and can't afford to. City folks djon't know much about their own city they jtfe too proud, to take sightseeing tours and fjnd out. But one can sometimes detect a visitor; he is Somebody who is interested in what hfes.becpnejComrnonplace-to the habitu aljresideht, Hfe feet hurt.bu he has a light in his eye.i v. V.'- - ;.,': Jt is pleasant to see 'these1 people around. Qne wishes one could be one for a few days sjnd find again in this oftent drab-seeming town the magic that is really here. I : ". ' The Waynesville board of. aldermen, took a definite step forward in setting up a Zoning and Planning Commission for this town. It is a pity that such action had to come twenty years too late. However, that is beside the point, as the commission is now officially established, the machinery set up for the groufTto' make a careful study of the needs of the present, and looking towards the future. The aldermen in establishing this commis sion have made it clear that they want action definite action and have given the com mission sufficient authority to enforce those things which will be for the betterment of the; town. : ' .' -' ;. ". As the town grows, the problems will be come more complicated, and that is one of the reasons the commission had to be estab : lished. -. The members of the commission will serve without compensation, which makes the ap pointment a contribution of time and energy to the improvement of the town. The men named have had experience in building, in planning, and in expanding their own busi nesses. They are men who are capable of making a thorough, and extensive study of the needs of the town and presenting a clear concise picture to the town officials for furth er consultation. The aldermen did not go into this project over-night. The plan has been under consid eration for a long time, and much investiga tion has been put into the plan. Experts in the field of town administrations have been consulted, and one of them will be here to morrow to further advise and discuss the proven methods with the board and new commission. ' . The action of the board is definitely a step forward.

There is one point which local people must be prepared to handle, or the drama could re act and become a liability. Every business person, every operator of a tourist place, every civic leader, every of ficial, every service station operator, and in fact, just about everyone, should make it a point to see the drama during the opening days. Then you will be in a position to answer questions, give infoial$nncpe of bene fit to yourself, community and the Drama, which is definitely receiving more publicity - than any one thing in our immediate area. We have been so close to Cherokee all the while that we have learned to ta&e' it more or less for granted. Now, that j Cherokee is coming into its own, we cannot take it for granted, we must take it for a partner, be cause it offers business opportunities that we connot afford to ignore. 15 YEARS AGO formal opening.

Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWOOD Editor's note The views and opinions expressed in this column fire those of the author, and not necessarily those of this newsr paper. A Growing Cash Business The police department here hung up a new record for May, and the $2,353 in fines and costs collected represents a sizeable sum of money. An average of almost $600 per week which defendants had to pay across to the court. . . A check of the 110 names of those arrested during the month, show a number of "repeat ers". Apparently, some of them enjoy appear ing before the mayor and handing over $12.60 for getting drunk and landing in jail. The school system has profited by almost $1,100, while another $1,256 went into the general fund of the town. It begins to look as if the police department is doing a land-office business, and for, cash.

One of those sudden showers that sometimes surprise even those prepared, came scurrying along as the rather plumplsh lady was hurrying home with an arm ful of groceries. Over her arm she carried one of those raincoats that protect but do not conceal. Hastily putting her bundles on a convenient bench, she started to don the protective raincoat.. The rain was coming down now in plentuous degrees as the lady struggled to get her arms in the proper places. But to no avail and then she started to laugh.

Gor don Gray.'who within a few months will become president of the Uni versity of North Carolina, said in a talk at the University commence ment last week that 'the high schools are not preparing students as they, should for college work. That was his inference in his state ment that he wanted to raise and broaden the work of the high schools, in the State. SchoolHouses are better than ever before, as regards lighting, heating, and other plant facilities. School teachers are now naid bet ter salaries than ever they dreamed ot 20 years ago. But is the high school graduate today . . . despite the extra ninth month and the ad dition of a twelfth grade . ; . bet ter equipped for college than a decade ago? If not, why not? Do college instructors find their fresh men any more able to i do college work than in 1940? ThP nnswpr as far as .' this column's reports from college teachers this spring are concerned, is definitely no. Wh6 is to blame? If high school graduates are no better trained than they were 10 years ago; then is not the addition of a ninth month and a twelfth grade d waste of money? Are we not too much concerned with the beautiful plant and the fine ath letic teams and the physical aspects of pur school and insufficiently in terested in the student's mental training? ,$!;$!
