On Labor Day All business activity comes to a halt In Waynesville on Monday. Stores will close, banks will not open, offices will be locked. Mon day is Labor Day, and time for all good men and women to relax, rest, and re-evaluate their world. Aside from the traditional pic nic for employees and their fam ilies at Wellco Shoe, there will be little ,in Waynesville to distract the average man. No civic celebration is planned here to interrupt the peace and quiet of a day at home. For the many, however, who do not desire to spend the day at home, there is plenty to do not too far away, Over at Sylva, for ex ample, the "Brothers of the Hrush" and "Sisters of the Swish," will be reaching the climax of their Jack son County Centennial Celebration. Parades, speeches, beauty queens and fireworks will highlight the day. Many from Haywood are ex pected to travel over and enjoy the sights. At Canton there is more than enough to entertain the restless. There the annual Labor Day and Fall Festival reaches its zenith of activity. The Waynesville High School 90-piece band will be there to march in the big parade. Plenty of string bands will also be on hand, and all, kinds of contests from horseshoes to hog calling will be featured. 1 , But Waynesville will be calm if not deserted. Labor Day Vas de signed to honor the laboring man,, and no better way to do that has been devised than to give him re lief from labor. Waynesville plans to do that. Mr. and Mrs. D, H.
