I Care Of Skin Is Important In Summer Almost Immediately when you hear someone talking about "sav ing your skin" dt.ring the sum mer. you think of sunburn. But actually sunburn is hut one of the hazards to beware of during the long summer season. Vacationers, picnickers and stay-at-homers, is well, need tc take note, according to Ruth Cur rent, state home demonstration a gent. Poisr.n ivy. oak and sumac are currently in season. Just t eareieas step through the field or woods can land you in bed with a good case of poison ivy. When you go for a walk, keep your legs cov ered and be on the look-out for these poisonous plants. It's a pret ty good idea, too, to take a warm shower with plenty of soap afte' you come in from one of these out ings. Such preventative measurer can save you a good deal of agony later. Insects are another skin bugga boo. If you plan a picnic, be sure to take along a reliable repellent to ward off these "man-eating" in truders. < Sunburn, of course, always taker a heavy toll during the summer months, says Miss Current: If you're a first-timer at the beach lake. or even in your own back yard, take it easy. Remember that burn rarely shows up until after you've gone in to cool off. And re member, too, that the sun's rays fan be very penetrating even on ?ie cloudiest days. Once you've been well-burned, there's little you fan do to bring relief. In the case +f painful sunburn, an ounce of prevention Is worth far more than me proverbial pound of cure.

McCarrolI Cites Need Of New Industry For Area (EDITOR'S NOTE: The follow In* is an extract from the talk made at the recent Chamber of Commerce banquet by H. P. Mc Carroll, Waynes vi Lie furniture merchant and chairman of the Chamber's Industrial Develop ment Council.) MR. McCARROLL: "My talk la divided into two parts. The first part concerns our present indus tries operating in the Waynesville Hazelwood area. The second part will cover the community's needs for additional industries. "I would like to point out here that we in the Chamber of Com merce fully realize that there are people in Waynesville and the area we serve, that do tot want addi tional Industries brought to our towns. These people are in the minority but we want you to know that we fully respect their views on the matter. "On the other hand, we have been asked repeatedly, 'Why fcn't something being done to bring some new industries here? Prac tically every town in western North Carolina has landed one or more plants since the war, when do we get one?'. "Before I sit down, I will at tempt to show you the value of in dustry to our community and what we are doing to And a new factory suitable to our area. "How many of us really ap preciate the real value of the industry to a cammunlly? Here is what one new in dustry employing Just 100 people would mean to the community ia which it locates. "A Chamber of Commerce study reports that for every 100 new fac tory Jobs, 174 other Jobs are cre ated. population increases by 290 neople, retail sales increase by 360 thousand dollars a year, four new stores are established, 107 cars are registered and 70 telephones are in stalled. ?uver-au personal income in creases by $590,000,000 a year. "Based on these figures and the current employment fisures of all our Waynesville-Hazelwood indus tries. allow me to point out the value of these industries to our economy. We think you are goinf ' to be surprised. These fleurea do not include Chamoion Paper or the Canton area. Nor do they in clude waees of peoDle who work outside the county such as Ameri can Enka employees. Total current employment, including every in dustry from our saw mills and wood-workinc plants to the oldest snd the lareest manufacturing plants. is 2 080 people. "How many payroll dollars do our industries pay to their 2.08$ emoiovees to be spent In our towns? Do you know that at the end of every working hour. 82 99* in waves have been earned? This 1* lust $5 00 short of $3 000. Yoa e?n safplv sav that for every vrorb ins f>nur our employers are oav. i la* ta nno for l?bor B??ed on a 40 hour work week so that no over time it considered In our fleuros this amounts to $120,000 every Fri day "Tt Is hard to realise hut it Is true ?hat our local lndu?tries have a combined total annual payroll of more than si* and one miarter mil lion dollars Or to state It the oth er wav around. 2 080 Industrial workers have annually over fit* million dollars in spending money from Industrial wnves "Do we need additional employ ment. either through exoansion at present industries or getting new Industrie* to locate here? Mv opinion la, yea. and harp la whr 1 T fhlnk ao. "WapeeawtUe hee heee pleeei In a Group IV Classification by the pwi* ? . i m U. S. Department of Labor. This means that more than 8 per cent of our people are unemployed. While our industries employ 2,080 people, there are 2,195 peo ple in this labor market area un der 45 years of age who are avail able for full-time employment. Al low me to cite one illustration. A few months ago, the Welleo Shoe Corporation announced the need of some 25 or 30 additional people. Approximately 700 people showed up at the plant f?r these Jobs. It took two days to take their applica tions. We coujd doubtp our present number of industrial Jobs and still not absorb all our labor. "Every day, we hear of people who must leave our towns and county to And employment else where. All But a few of our col lege graduates And little oppor tunity for employment here and And it necessary to go elsewhere to work. Newport News and Nor folk, Virginia, Detroit, Michigan. Baltimore, Maryland, and even the truck farms of New Jersey, are en joying the beneAts of Haywood County labor. "In Haywood County today, ap proximately one out of every 28 people are receiving aid through our Welfare Department. Thia in cludes, of course, old age assist ance. and widows with dependent children. But this percentage * !s too high for a good county likt ours. "Only between 24 and 30 per cent of our high school graduates throughout the county are abl* to attend colleee or other institutions of higher learning. Almost three fourths of our boys and girls are denied this privilege. "This should be proof enouah that our economy needs a shot in the arm. We can get this shot much faster with a nice little Plant or two that would emoloy 400 or ?00 peoole than any other way I know. "What then is being done to find new industries who will locate here? I will not burden you with too many details but a very ag gressive program is being followed "First: We asked for helo. We sent representatives to Raleieb to contact the Department of Con servation and Development. The state's industrial expansion Pro gram is handled bv this Depart ment. They are a great helo In lo cating nroaoects. Since January of this vear. we have had no less than Ave seoarate conferences with this Department on how to get new Industrie#. "We have contacted and held conferences with the Southern ? Railway Company and the Carolina Power and Light Company. Both these firms offer plant locating services to all towns in their areas. Both would like to have more in dustries located here. "Second: We made direct con tacts. Through advertisements ap pearing in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Time*, we have contacted numerous prospects. We have written dozens of letters di rectly to company and corpora tion presidents. In response to these, we have received many po lite replies, we received several inquirls for additional informa tion and we have promises from several others. We have had two or three actually visit us and look us over. We know that others have Inspected our towns without let ting us know they were here. '"Third: While we are learning how and making contacts, we are also getting set for a tremendous organized effort. "Everybody is cooperating?our Chamber of Commerce, our towns, our present industries, our bank ers, our business and professional men are banding together for one concentrated effort. It is a very aggressive program and if we do not get a new plant or two within the next year, you can rest assured that we are making it tough on the towns who do get them. "Here is what you can do to help us. In fact, I mieht as well tell you that this is what you must do before our program can suc ceed. tt-i ^ rirH, cicdii uy: maKe our homes, our lawns, our places of business, our towns and commun ities look like we are somebody. We must look industrious and prosper ous. No industry wants to locate in a pauper town. "Second, Know Your Towa! Know all there is to -know. Be sure your answers are correct. If you" rionf know the answer, get it. Many 'industrialists come into a community and make their own survey. We do not know who thev are or when they are coming. The* contact sales clefks, filling station operators, businessmen and any body who meets the public. "Third, Sell Your Town! Show vour community pride and loyalt* Be a booster. This is a sure-fl'" indication that a town is wide awake. Industries like wide awake oroeressive towns. "Fourth, Support Our Pre sen* Industries! Learn the good thin" about each one of them. Tell the* and others how glad we are to haw them in our towns. Make their ne* emnlovees welcome in our com munities Learn something abon* their difficulties and if oossib' he]n to solve them. Buv their pro ducts if they make anything to se" loeally. "Be a booster of the Industrie we have so that thev will be g1?-* tn be with ns.

Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausen bergeroff Sr., is Quite, proud . of Hubert Jr.'s accomplishment. 1 The boy, just a shade over three years old, "surprised us by saying his name?all nine syllables of it," says the proud father. You'd think that being a lino type overator, Hubert Sr. would be sympathetic with people who have to tussle with his name. But the telephone directory lists the full monicker?Wolfeschlegs teinhausenbergderofT. Hubert, B. Sr.?oh one full line and his ad dress en another line. And he told the utility company he wouldn't pay his bill unless his name1 was right. So his name, on three lines, always comes properly spelled out. After all, he explains, "My legal name is Wolfeschlegsteinhausen bergderoff (it sounds shorter when he says It) aBd that's the way I want it." The city gets away with an ab breviated form on Its voting regis tration books. There he listed as Mr. Wolfeschlegelsteinha?which is as far as the business machines will go. - One cubic mile of sea water con tains more than 12 billion pounds, of magnesium.
