NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSpcfaTJcJlN Dl.-iTJ CsroUnayX Monday Afternoon, October 1, 1930 Best Since the War The Western North Carolina Tourist As sociation in session here expressed exactly for the region what vc had learned about local conditions in regards to the past tourist season the best since the war. The officials of the Association listed pre season advertising, consistent promotion, and the Cherokee Drama are anion,-; the reasons for the banner season. No business town, county, or region will get more tourists than what they plan, and seek. The day is long past when people just "hap pen by." Today people plan, and study their trips. They are eager to go and see places which they hear the most about. We cannot rest on the laurels of a good 1950 season to assure a banner 1951 season. To be sure, the fact that 1950 was good will help in the future, but we must remember that other resorts are out there still offering in ducements to visit them. The tourist business is a highjy mKStStitiye business, ami one ih;it, takes constant work to develop. Dayton's New Record Headline writers are plagued with limited spuce to put in a lot of information, and some times, under the pressure of deadlines, get in words that change meanings without inten tion. Such was the case Thursday when mention was made that the men of Dayton Rubber Company broke records for donating blood fo the Red Cross. The truth of the matter, 5!) of the 129 giving a pint of blood each were women. A large percentage. Bless their souls, they gave more in propor tion than did the men. Those hale, hearty, loyal women meant business. But not for a moment would we want to discount what the men gave they gave willingly; and gave all that was asked of them. That i9 their spirit. The group gave until they set a new high record for Western Carolina. To the women, and the men of Dayton Rub ber, we speak the sentiment of America "You gave of your best to a deserving cause." On Thursday niyht the Waynesville band will formally move into their own home the first 'home they have had since the band was organized in the fall of 1939. ' The former gym has been converted into a modern band building such as our group of hard working musicians deserve. Since 1939, year in and year out, the bands have had to do their work on the stage of the auditorium, and the football field. They have surmounted the nany obstacles and hard ships, and brought distinguished honors and recognition to themselves and their commun ity on repeated occasions. The history of the Waynesville band is one of steady progress. Starting with 59 members, the band made their first public appearance on December 2 of 1939, when Santa Claus ar rived by train to officially open a trade festi val in town. The bands have appeared on scores of occasions since that time, both at home and away. Last spring the band tied for first place with two other bands in Grade Six music in the state. The classification is the highest in the state, as is the honor. ; There are almost 250 students now in the four bands beginners, juniors, marching, and concert bands. The band owns 60 uni forms, and several instruments, some of which are 10 years old. The library of music is worth several thousands of dollars. In their exclusive building, the students will have the benefit of undivided attention, adequate space, jjood acoustics and light, and private practice rooms for small groups. The band deserves the building they have acquired. The band is one of the community's chief assets, and have more than paid for the investment manv times over. Asphalt Ribbons Haywood's rural roads are becoming rib bons of asphalt over hill and dale. The fact that 109 miles have already been built no doubt surprised many people. One of the impressive phases of this road building program is that it has tbuched every township, and almost every cove and corner of the county. The 109 miles did not go into long projects, but scores of short roads, many of them less than a mile in length. If we are able to believe the weather pre dictors for the coming winter, the 109 miles of roads just improved in the rural areas will be well worth their cost. AiT'Aciive PTA Over in Bethel, the Parent Teachers As sociation are ready to spend some $500 on the school grounds. They are waiting for the school board to make some decisions as to some additions before starting a school grounds beautification program. The project of the Bethel Parent Teachers association is just one of many examples of what an active organization can do for the community. No doubt there are other similar organiza tions that have just as worthy a project in mind. We hope we shall be hearing of them soon. .

Rambling 'Round Bits Of Human Interest News By Frances Gilbert Frazier It Could Happen Here Down near Raleigh one woman is dead, and several men suffering from wounds re ceived during a gun battle at a small carnival; Officers are holding some of the carnival people, and trying to solve the case, which was a free-for-all, with firearms being brought into play. A similar incident to that almost happened near here, before it was decided we would be happier without carnival "entertainment," MIRROR OF YOUR 11 to 3flfa By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist, provides none ot these on the relatively mature level, having nothing else to do will tend to make you fall back on the child ish pleasures of the table. In fact, it is usually safe to assume that a person who eats too much has failed to develop other interests to "take his mind oft his stomach". Can learning Answer: No, writes Dr. George E Carrothers, of the University of Michigan, In School and So ciety. The most dangerous trend in modern education is the fail- . ure of well-meaning parents and , of social and civic organizations to recognize that adequate learn ing takes time. It is cheating un suspecting students to let them get trie idea that an education can , be acquired ."on the run". Edu- y cation needs "time studies" like those used in industry to make vsure that the relatively little time , allotted to learning is not wasted. A . ba hurried? Will idleness make you overeat? Answer: If you don't think it tends to have this effect, watch the guests at a resort hotel. While you may Imagine that you enjoy "doing nothing," your mind ac tually keeps right on demanding satisfactions, and since idleness Is there any such thing as "the force of habit"? Answer: Habit really is iner tia, not force. If you had to stop and think each morning how to get dressed, It would take you so long you would never get to busi ness. To save effort, you make dressing automatic so that it would be hard to put on the right shoe first if starting with the left was your established habit. But you can break .a "bad habit" without too much difficulty if the "drive" you have been satis fying through it finds a more ef fective channel. For It's drives, not habits, that move you to action.. She was about ten and as cute ns they come.

American Fruit Stand: The na- ' tional-ciiculation .magazines, gen erally: Collier's, Saturday Even ins Post. Ladies Home Journal, j and others in that same class, j Comic books, of course, enjoy the I best sales. Men and women buy the ; general-interest magazines like j those named previously, but go in I for special-interest publications, j The men prefer the detective mag j azincs. while the housekeeping and j home - improvement publications I are the most popular. ij'rto i joor -:v Pi I to FEDERAL BURDEN You would think that with the Federal Government increasing your in come tax approximately 15 per cent now within a few days, -the State would be content to let you alone. Tax dollars are needed for the Federal war effort. This is a period of great emergency. .This adminis tration the State administration now in office within the past 20 months has piled on its citizenry 223 million dollars in additional debt. Now its tax-eaters apparently want 25 million more by way of further taxes on the people least able to pay. SATISFACTION If this is done, Gov. Scott will be able to look back upon his administration in years to come with the calm satisfaction of knowing that he was not only successful in spending the $120,000,000 surplus he inherited from Governors Broughton and Cherry, but was able to pile on a quarter-of-a-billion debt to boot. Moral: Progress is fine. We must have it and it costs money. However, Rome was not built in a day. There were one or two good Governors before Scott came on the scene and there will be many more after he has left it. "Birds of a feather . . hat decorations. " make They say theso things never hap pen .. . but it did. A lady was telling a friend about a couple she had met while in Florida several years before. "And that reminds me," she went on, "this is the lady's birthday. I haven't written her in a year or more but I have her address, so I'll send her a card." She proceeded to write the birthday greeting, stamp it and was nn her way to the Utter box to mail it when she was startled by a car coming close to her and blow ing the horn. Yes it was her fiiends from Florida who bad stop ped bv on their way to their home in Ohio. How much easier a task is when you know you have it half completed. Roy Moseman: The Ladies Home ! Journal is the most popular of the monthly magazines, judging from the' sales from my stand, and "Life," among the weekly maga zines. Comic books, of course, are the most popular in the general classes of publications. Sales of the ! detective magazines are slow, but i those that are bought are bought mainly by the men. (N'ame of newsstand withheld on request): The Ladies Home Journal. Saturday Evening Post, Woman's i Home C ompanion, Readers' Digest and other magazines like these t Comic books as a class, of course, sell better than any other type !

It's like this: 20 years ago only a few of the schools put out an nuals. Now it would be safe to estimate that 90 per cent of the high schools in North Carolina pub lish these picture books. The print ing and engraving bills oil some of them run ns much as $4,000. The average merchants in the State is called on by students from 10 to 15 schools each year to take what is known as "advertising' in the annual. The merchants wan! to advertise and they want to heir their schools. .However, it has beei scientifically shown and the mer chants know it to be true tha newspaper and radio advertising provides the best return for eacl dollar spent.
