Agricultural Exhibit Building Committee To Meet Today To Make Preliminary Ways And Means Survey Haywood Wool Brings An Average Of $60.76 At Sale Supday Marks The Summer Solstice - But Who Cares? Sunday, June 21. the almanac would have us know, is the sum mer solstice. The day is known more popular ly as the beginning of summer and the longest day of the year and is caused simply by the fact of the sun being its greatest distance a bove the equator. How long is the longest day of the year? The almanac says 4t is IS hours and six minutes at New York (somewhat less here. There is not much difference between this and other nearby days. But is important for one reason: it marks the shortening of the hours of day light of the coming weeks and months while at the same time it signals the beginning of the sum j mer season, a somewhat paradox ial situation it would seem. But technicalities aside, the longest day will go unnoticed by most people and perhaps well it should. It matters little that Sun day will have a few moments more of daylight than Saturday. There \yill still be the same 24 hours in the day. Esskay Galleries Open Friday Night Esskay Galleries will open at 7:30 p.m. Friday for their fourth season in Waynesville.

(See Agriculture?Page 8) Father's Day 43 Years Old Sunday will mark the 43rd Fath ?r's Day and once again fathers will receive all sorts of presents, nexpensive and otherwise, that hey will probably receive bills or. But there's nothing so bad about hat because It's something they're lsed to, anyway. Too often, though, j hey receive gifts that aren't ex ictly what they would pick out: leckties that would never be! worn; cigarettes, pipe tobacco, or :igars that aren't the right brands: j irticles of clothing that don't fit. It's father's own day, however, tn occasion that now has grown in lopularity far beyond the hopes )f the founder. The person who originated Father's Day was a woman, Mrs. lohn Bruce Dodd, who in 1910 persuaded the Spokane, Wash. City Council to indorse her request jesignating a day for fathers. # Behind this request was a good deal of work. Mrs. Dodd first thought of it during a Mother's Day sermon at her Methodist Church. Afterwards she told the pastor that while his words about mothers were very good, she thought fathers should have a special day also. Mrs. Dodd and the pastor promoted the idea dur ing the year and in the spring the Spokane Ministerial Society ask ed that sermons be preached on fatherhood. The month of June was chosen because it was her father's birth month. The minis ters carried their appeal to the City Council for a proclamation. Then the Governor designated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day in Washington. The story was picked up by newspapers and soon the occas ion became nation-wide.

Needs Of Recreation Center Outlined In Report A progress report on local rec reation facilities was made Wed nesday night to the Recreation Commission, representatives of the Board of Aldermen of Hazelwood and Waynesville, and representa tive^ of civic clubs. The report was made by Charles M. Graves, park and recreation engineer of Atlanta. Ga., who is making a survey of what should be and can be done to establish a community recrea tion center. Any survey, Mr. Graves pointed out, must lake into consideration existing facilities and must simply be a presentation of facts and sug gestions. The Commission and the people of the community itself must make any decisions. Sites About 8 sites have been consid ered, 4 or 5 of them seriously and in detail. Five attributes are nec essary: (1) central location as near as possible to the centers of both Hazelwood and Waynesville; <2> as much areas as possible, a minimum of 30 acres, Graves said; '3' com patability with neighborhood; '4 adaptability; and (5) not too ex pensive. Graves cited the Shelby recrea-1 j tion center, which he planned and which serves that city adequately with 100 acres <45 of these are In a golf course). Drexel and Valdese also were cited as having much used community centers. Members of the Commisison reminded the group that in the past the town has in both its water and sewer systems failed to plan adequately for the future, and that they must not make the same mistake by plan ning the recreation center on too small a scale. Operation cost, Graves stated, has been proven much lower if all facilities are in one place.
