Broad Point Of View What's good for a part of North Carolina is likely to benefit other parts and the whole, and more and more the viewpoint of promo tional organizations is rising beyond local cohfines'to regional and state-wide perspec tive. The following paragraphs from a letter from Executive Secretary John H. Farrell of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce is illustrative of this trend: "... Thousands of tourists from many States who come here first, request informa tion on other tourist centers throughout North Carolina, along the coast, to the Pied mont, to the mountains. We are always as sisting them in mapping out routes, suggest ed stop-overs, and places to see. We actually sell many other tourists on the idea of visit ing interesting places throughout the old North State, after a few days, week, or more in the Wilmington area, rather than their going over the border into other southeast ern states. Only last wee'', five couples visit ing our office, among scores of tourists, chansred their plans of continuing South, and left here for Pinehurst, Southern Pines, the Piedmont area, Asheville, and to the moun tains. "I have always felt that thousands of tour ists who visit our office annually, and seek ing other places to visit outside of our State, while on extended tours, should be persuad ed diplomatically, to first go and see other beauty spots and interesting places in North Carolina. Those of us in public service work throughout our State interested in promot ing tourist trade, should continue this broad policy. Some of our promoters, and fortun ately there are not many, should bury the 'hatchet', work together, cooperate and co ordinate their efforts;-on a State level, rath er than thinking only of their local commun ity. I have found from practical experience, that it pays off by adopting an unselfish at titude in this regard ..." Efficiency Can Pay Dividends About a year ago, a man by the name of Ray Blattenberger took charge of the Gov ernment Printing office in Washington. He put into practice in the department a thorough system for searching for better and more economic ways to increase production at less cost. frne year after he tonic over and inaugurat ed this program, he reduced prices in all de partments five per cent, and turned back in to the treasury over a million dollars. This proves that efficiency can pay, even in government. And as an after thought?wouldn't that million look mighty good appropriated to development of the Park ? THE MOUNTAINEER Waynesvlllr.

April 22, 1951 Music Contest Time Again Two groups of the Waynesville music de l?artment will be playing in the state-wide contest tonight and tomorrow night. For the first time, the two-year-old or chestra of the department will be ir\ the con test. This is the only high school orchestra west of Charlotte, which is another indica tion of the leadership shown by Waynesville. The concert band will be defending their four-year rating of superior, which is shared by Greensbroro and Lenoir. The members of both groups, and some of the students play in both groups, realize the responsibilities which rest upon their pres entation of the difficult numbers on both occasions. While the performances require many hours of hard work, and much tension and anxiety, the parents and patrons of the school back home will be putting all their best wishes back of the. musicians as they go on stage to give an accounting of them selves. Campaign Goes Into High Gear Ft has been several years since there have been as many candidates in the county pri mary as this spring. With about 30 seeking county and district offices, besides the large number in the race for various township constables, it begins to look like a lively, and spirited election this spring. It has been a long time since Haywood seemed to take as much interest in a race for U. S. Senator as is being shown this spring. And the recent visits of the two lead ing candidates in the senatorial race, gives reason to believe that this phase of the cam paign will grow in interest as time goes on. There are many who venture speculation as to winners in all races, while others take the position that the picture changes from time to time, and prefer to keep quiet when it comes to predictions. ' As we have often said before in a |k>1 iticnl campaign, and we are sure this one will not be any different, there will lx> many a "yarn" or so-called "story" started about candidates from time to time, Just be careful, and dis tinguish between rumor and fact. Rubies Shows Up Early In Haywood Already ?he Beaverdam section of the county is under quarantine for rabies, when the so-called rabies season has not even ar rived. This is not in any ways critical of the ac tion of the Health Department?quite the contrary?we feel they acted wisely in their decision. We feel that with rabies striking so early in the year, that it is a grim reminder that since vaccination clinics are being held throughout the county that every dog own er should avail themselves of this protective service. Last summer a number of dogs had rabies, resulting in several people being bitten, and caused them to suffer mental and physical anguish, as they took the expensive treat ments. Now that rabies has started so early, it is even more important that every dog owner see that their animals are properly protect ee! against the disease that is fatal to man and beast without the treatments prescrib ed by medical science. Reports from the ramp twitches are that the potent little bulbs are growing fast, and will be in their prime within the next two weeks. And this linked with the fact that a new 25-acre area of ramps have been found is something we'll likely be smelling about.

SENATOR C.RISWOI.D The Senate was shocked at the sudden passing of one of our col leagues, Senator Dwight Griswold. of Nebraska. He had not been in the Senate verv long, but had made a great impression on all of us. I attended the memorial service in the Senate on Monday at which tittle last tributes were paid to him. He was on the Post Office and Civil Service Committee with me. MORTALITY RATE The mortality rate of Senators is high. 1 am advised that there have been 23 Senators who have died in the last ten years, includ ing three North Carolinians. Sen ators Josiah W. Bailey, .1. M. Broughton and Willis Smith. WOOL Bit.I. By the time you read this col umn, the Senate is scheduled to he taking up the Administration's wool hill It will bring about quite a debate. 1 am told. I am still in favor of the DO percent of parity price support for haiie farm crops grown in North Carolina where production controls and marketing quotas can he set. Our tobacco program has been a model for oth ers. It Is a tribute to farmers of I North Carolina Much of the farm] price support program is hinged on the wool bill. STUDENT EXCHANGE 1 have had some letters recently , deploring the reduction by tho j House of funds for the foreign stu-, dent exchange program. This is one program which nt eds to be strengthened and not weakened. It 1 seems to me that Senator Fulhriaht deserves commendation for push-j ing this program. I stronelv favor | the program, and T can think of no better way than this of getting across the idea of democracy and | freedom. AMBASSADOR I hone all of you are carefully following the good work that Billy Graham js doing in England. He certainlv is an ambassador of good wiTl and Christian fellowship As T told you in a previous report, it was my pleasure to entertain him at a luncheon here in the Capitol ] just before he went overseas. At that luncheon were a number of our most important Senators and Congressmen. Billy spoke to us about his trin to England Wo were all imnressed with his sincerity and are more than happy to see that he has had great success. If we had j a few more neonle in the world like this preacher; from North Caro lina we wouldn't have to be worry "Bolts" Prove Valuable IDABEL, Okla. (API ? Bill Wakefield, a body repair man at an automobile shop here, uncrat od a fender and opened up the sack supposedly containing the bolts. Instead of the bolts, the sack contained $100,000 worth of checks Wakefield conjectured the sack fell into the crate while at the express dock. He sent them back. Hard of hearing persons often say their ability to hear is lowered v hen they are nervous or upset. I'se the Want Ada for result* ing about hydrogen bombs,, It makes me feel good to have Sen ators stop by on the Senate floor and comment on the good work be ing done by Billy Graham. EXPLOSION We were all shocked at the trag edy in Goldsboro. At the request of Goldsboro officials, I am glad that my office could bp of some little help in getting experts from the Bureau of Mines, who are experi enced in blasts and explosions, to ! go down and help out. TII1S-AND-THAT Mickey Vernon's tenth inning home run that won the opening ball game for the Senators was a thrlltine conclusion to a good ball game I didn't get to see the game, but I read the news accounts.

Rambling' I ?Bits Of Human Interest News By Frances Gilbert Frazier Little Johnny had spent nearly all Sate ' lV Mr. Bebee making up his garden The little l>, t ad larly interested in watching Mr. Bebee of prepared soil over to special beds After , g '"fl boy's curiosity got the better of him: "I)oi .* *? wheelbarrow?" he asked.

Views of Other Editoi NO PEDDLING, PLEASE The late P. T. Bernum. part of the original team which formed the great Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus, is credited in folklore with originating the state ment "a sucker s horn every min ute". Thus, numerous people make a ; rather spurious living by preying on honest, unsuspecting people who think everyone else as hon est as they. The evidence is legend. Widows get flim-flammed out of their life savings by scheming salesmen of spurious securities: people nearly get hurned to death i when bargain sweaters poof into flame at the first spark of fire: housewives buy magazines that never arrive: people make down payments on photograph bargains, then find the studio never existed. Mr. Muntz.the man who was bring ing bargain television to homes direct from the manufacturer, is ? ?in bankruptcy and his guarantees | are good for fire-building. Thus the attention of local mer chats to an increasing local prob- j lem of house-to-house peddling is j quite in order, both from the stand point of protecting the citizenry, and from the standpoint of sharing the tax load too. Of course, there are legitimate house-to-house salesmen. The Fuller Brush man is well-known for distributing a worthwhile product, and some magazine salesmen, actu ally, are working their way through college. But these are in the min ority. F.ffort of the Merchants Associ ation to get the citv to set up legal restrictions on house-to-house selling will, if productive, benefit the great majority of citizens. ?Kings Mountain Herald.
