TODAY'S Q Pn. TODAY *5$ BIBLE VERSE ?TA? Th,. ? .P- Editorial Page of The Mountaineer "J for th?? |M-?plr for Ikrir swJ C?' ? in<l ?Jeremiah 14:11. - it Proof That The Tourist Season Can Be Extended There are some who hoot at the idea that the tourist season in this area cannot In* ex tended beyond Lai tor Day. Pontana Village is proving that idea not only wrong. but is proving that the month of October is an extremely profitable month, to say nothing of the extra business in Septem ber. t The out-of-date idea that all travelers go home on Labor Day and stay there until the first of next June belong to the horse-and huggy el{t of thinking. Officials of Pontana found that by putting a little extra promotion back of their fall business, are now finding that it is becoming one of the most profitable seasons of the year. Of course it is not as big as August, but the extra business is paying off big dividends for the cost of promotion. A national program is being started to en courage industry to stagger vacations throughout the year, rather than lump them in July and August. This plan will give more business in the lute fall, and early spring months, Fonfajia is findinp that constant promot* inp. juk! pmvidinp the visitors with some thing <lo, is payinp off in dollars and cents in jnoptrtions which several years apo was believed impossible. The-'.'"rockinp chair" tourist is almost a thinp of the past. That era passed with the coniinp of the automobile. Today. there are thousands id' travelers on the road every day.of the year, and it is those places that are poinp after that travel. Catering to their wishes, and their needs that are reapinp the harvest. blip that a Ion per season can be de veloped is ime of the reasons w hy we would like to see all apcncies combined with a poli cial propram workinp for this poal. The com bined efforts. and the-pnolinp of funds would result in a preater impact upon the travel inp public. and result in larper dividends. The cost to the indiv idual would not be any more than at present, and the ultimate result far preater What else is wanted in business? We hitve come to the conclusion that there ?are ii*?-utab thinpsjw the "uiulitf. the season" for trWfnsts. The end is determined by the time ftie operators in their own mind want to "close tlowh''. It is possible to build up a lonper season at the bepinninp ahd olid of what we know here as "the season," The plan cannot be done overnipht, and with .just a hu rid red dollars beprudpedly "donated" to the "cause."

For a lot of "older" young |>eople, it means an op|?ortunity to see how miuh havoc can la- wrought in the space of one night. And for the owners of property, it often means a night of sus|>ei)se. as they dread to survey their premises the next morning. Of course, prior to the "night" there are countless carnivals, and parties, many spon sored by schools and other groups as a fund raisin# venture. There is no one that for a moment would deprive a person of having fun, as Ion# as the fun is not at the expense of others. If those who delight in marking up display windows with candles, and crayons, had to clean the sticky mess off the next day they would have a different attitude towards what constitutes fiov If those who are determined to destroy property had to pay out hard-earned money ill restoring the damages done, they might think twice before including it in their list of things that go for "having fun." The officers know pretty well the groups that are out for fun. and those who are out to see how much property they can destroy. Again this year, they will have a keen eve peeled for the latter group, and will be ready to take them in hand when the time comes. Halloween can be fun, and if can be need lessly destructive. The fun. everyone enjoys. The destructiveness, is only the result of those w ho no doubt will be made to regret the error of their ways. Rev. Mr. Williamson Goes To A Larger Field Sunday morning's worship service, will bring to an end, the more than 13 years Rev. .VI. R. Williamson has served as pastor of the Wavne,sville Presbyterian church. He will assume his duties as pastor of the Tenth Avenue Presbyterian ehureh in Char lotte on November first. 1 lis'resignation as pastor, was "accepted with reluctance" by tiie congregation on Sunday morning.

For the past six years he has been regular stated clerk of the Ashe ville Presbytery. As Mr. Williamson goes to a larger church, the best wishes of the people he has Work ed with for b"> years, goes with him and his family. Many of the contribut ions he made to this commodity remain and will be long re membered, as he takes up duties in another field. The North Carolina Methodist Student Conference meeting in Salisbury over the weekend passed a resolution, which reads: "We. as a representative body of the Meth odist students of North Carolina, reaffirm that discrimination ajrainst any person on the basis of race, is unchristian and contrary to Cod's moral law as revealed in the New Testament. "Therefore, we will welcome in Christian love and fellowship any person of any race who is admitted to our colleges." lhcv'll Do It livery lime - By Jimmy Hatlo ^SOME CRUST.'.'

The Mountaineer: Impressed with the battle the youngsters gave the well-trained and fully equipped Gra-y Bears last week, a Sports Club was or ganized overnight to fielp run in terference for the eager fledglings. Taking on the Canton state champion midget team after four practice sessions, the Baby Moun taineers went down swinging 13- j 7. but came up to find a "Fairy Godmother" in the form of the Sports Club, which has gone all out to see that that baby team goes on the gridiron tonight (Thursdayt much like Cinderella went to the ball. The "two sisters" who were the sole occupants of the Waynesville ? grandstand last week waved the "magic wand" around town all weekend trying to transform the population into a procession of in terested. willing "servants" ready to lend a helping hand.
