MEDFORD Since 1938 Haywood County out of-state farm tour has been the main sight-seeing attraction for the farm families of this county, as well as quite a few who are not farmers. That is, the tours have been made in the great ma jority of these years, this year be ing the twelfth tour. Beginning then they have been conducted an nually except for the four war years, the year following (1946) and last year. And from the stand point of being well organized and carried out, as well as from num bers on tour, miles covered, places visited, etc., this Haywood enter prise has attracted attention and interest throughout thp state and in most of the states of the Union. The attractiveness of the tours has been so enhanced during the last three or four years that three busses and two cars have been re quired to haul the groups on these trips. The average length of the tours for the past four years has been about 3,500 miles. Sight-Seeing and Study This year enough applications have already been received at the county agent's office (nearly all of which have been fully paid) to fill two busses totaling 84 persons. The tour will start July 19th and continue for ten days. The ten day schedule covering nearly 3,400 miles in eleven states, calls for stops in nearly all of them. These customary stops are for the purpose of letting the toarists view or inspect outstanding farms, dairying, cattle and poultry rais ing projects, notable processing and manufacturing plants, scenic attractions, capitol buildings, mu seums, universities, etc. For in stance, this tour calls for Cham pion Paper and Fibre Company at Hamilton. Ohio, Perdue University ! at Lafayette. Indiana. Union Stock Yards and Musium of Science at Chicago, Wisconsin Dairy Fann ing, prairies and bad lands of South Dakota, also school of mines and Deadwood Museum in that state. Boys' Town in Nebraska, boat rides, ball games, etc. Hew Tours Are Planned Weeks before tour-time arrives, I the county agent and one assistant ' agent "rides out" the itinerary to be followed on the trip. Thia map ping out of the way by the agents will follow, as closely as practi cable. the tentative plans of states, projects and places to be visited as suggested by a committee of seven of the tourists previously ap pointed for that purpose. Here it is that the agents have to "know their stuff"?in the matter of scheduling the time of meals, rest stops, projects or attractions to be visited in order to co-ordi nate with time of arrival. Several factors must be taken into con sideration. A few minutes here and there might be allowed for "good time"?but very few, since the day's lap of miles (averaging about 340) must be maintained from day to day. Meals are arranged for?to be served right on the hour, at hotels and restaurants; and very few times have the proprietors (with their extra help) had to wait on the Haywood farm groups to ar rive. Few Mishaps and Delays Busses bired or chartered for these occasions are closely inspect ed and put In ship-shape before starting. However, one major breakdown and two or three minor ones have so far occurred. At tbe time of the major trouble on one bus, all its passengers were taken off and crowded on tbe two other busses, where they rode for miles, or until we reached our hotel for the night tin Colorado'. The bu* was repaired near where it was left the same night, and the driver wae on time next morning with his Masonic Meeting (Continued from Fare 1) The Gastonia physician said: "Brotherly live is simply broth erhood, and Masonic brotherhood is the Immediate objective and universal brotherhood is the ulti mate ideal" Pugh said. "Then we have in Masonry, re lief, which is a secondary prin ciple and comes as a natural con sequence of brotherhood. "Truth takes after truth and knowledge of the great architect of the universe.. This, I feel, is the h'MA^fjrjt for the original plan of Masonry. "Foundations firmly placed In three things: Belief in the great architect, the volume of the sacred law, the holy Bible which is the great guide to mortality and re ligion, and brotherhood which Is the whole superstructure. "We are builders of the super structure. We are builders of men. The attainment of brotherhood is free Masonry. "Everything else is of relative secondary importance, important only in the attainment of the original objective which is Broth erhood, God, the Bible, mortality, Masonry," he said. Monday nisht's session saw Frederic A. Manchester, of Ashe vllle, chairman of the James Jack son. Jr. Chapter of Order of De Molay. demonstrate the initiatory decree. This event attracted a large number of Masons. A large group remained over for the school of instruction at the school Wednesday morning, for the York Rife Degrees. All grand of ficers. the board of electlonship attended.

Missing the right road seldom happens?even at obscure turns and intersections, because the agents have previously made note of these. A few instances when one or two persons became ill caused short delay*. But only on two occas ions, we believe, has anyone been compelled to leave tbe tour and return home. Meet Of The States and Canada Visited Nearly all of the states of the Union have been viaited?all but about ten, these mostly being in the far west and northwest. Canada also has been included. And in all of them many outstanding at tractions of Interest to the farm ers?and all of us, have been taken in. Also wonderful scenic beauty, places of historical and cultural Interest, arts, sciences, ete. A Sort of Fraternity The personnel of these tours ; changes, of course, to some extent : from year to year, old ones drop i ping out?mostly because of age. I and new ones being added. How ever, many of them boast that they "have made most of the tours." The ages range from children eleven to twelve years of age up to persons 80 years old. j ? A sort of fraternity has grown up among these Haywood farm tourists. Each year in the fall they meet at Camp Hope or Camp Schaub to fraternize, every family bringing along a basket-lunch or dinner for the "spread." Here they hive impromptu speeches, play games, sing, joke about past tours and have a good time In general. Will Be Missed Something like a dozen "vet erans" will be missed on this trip, Uncle Bud Harris, Hub Caldwell, Mrs. Win Medford, Zimri Messer, Grovcr C. and Mrs. Davis, Nathan Carver and a few others. But two or three new ones are being added, our new county agent, V. L. Hollo way, being one of them. I i NOTE: The county agent stated this morning that the farm tour list of entries has closed on two busses and one car. .
