Old Industry
To Be Revived
In Mountains
An old but abandoned industry
of the mountain region ? making
charcoal?is returning to Western
North Carolina, with the Under
wooy Novelty Co. of Lake Junalus
ka leading the way.
Owner Charlie Underwood has
disclosed that his novelty firm lias
begun construction on 20 two
cord charcoil kilns in back of the
plant's wood yard.
Being built of shale block, the
first kiln will be ready in about
10 days, and the remaining 19 units
will be completed at the rate of
about one a week, Mr. Underwood
said.
Each of the kilns, which will
burn various hardwoods used by
Underwood Novelty Co., will turn
out from 1,500 to 1,800 pounds of
chacoal each six days. Firing re
quires from 30 to 35 hours and j
cooling the remainder of the six- 1
day period. Total -production for j
the battery of 20 kilns will range i
from 30,000 to 36,000 pounds per :
week.
No new employees will be hired ,
to operate the charcoal kilns. Mem
bers of the plant's force of 30 will !
carry on the additional operations.
Total cost of the new construction
is estimated at $5,000.
In the old days, Mr. Underwood
explained, charcoal was made on
the open ground by covering wood
with wet leaves and mud and firing
the mass. At that time, blacksmiths
were among the major users of
charcoal.
Today th^ fuel is used in back
yard fireplaces of homes, in metal
industries, and by medical supply
manufacturers.
Several other saw mill operators
have indicated that they also plan
to construct charcoal kilns. Be
cause of the present heavy demand
for charcoal, however! Western
North Carolina sources are not ex
pected to be able to satisfy the
booming market.
In the past, Mr. Underwood add
ed. wood-working plants and saw
mills have been able to use their
scrap wood only as stove wood?
for which there is only a small dc- j
mand. '

Exchange Offices
Does your courthouse look
different lately?
It should, because there have
been-some changes made.
Tax Collector Bryan Medford
and Auditor James Kirkpatrick
have swapped tffkrs. The tax
office is now across from the
sheriff's office, and the auditor's
office is now situated in the
northeast corner of the court
house.
Still vacant are the former
offices of the Haywood County
Health Department in the base
ment of the courthouse. This
space was vacated early this
month when the department
moved into the new health center

Penney Enumerates Six
Key Business Principles
Six "Christian principles in busi
ness" were outlined by J. C. Pen
ney, noted American businessman
and owner of the Penney depart
ment stores, Sunday night at the
First Methodist Church of Way
nesvillc.
Principles enumerated by Mr.
Penndy were:
1. "I believe in preparation. A ,
man must know everything posai- j
ble about his business; he must
know more than any other man
knows. The tendency in the past
has been what someone called the
'crown prince' theory?where only
one or two men in a business are
trained to know all the answers.
I believe every employee needs to
know as much as he can about the
entire operation, but, of course, it
is necessary for him to know best
his own special job."
2. "I believe in hard work. The
only kind of luck any man is justi
fied in counting on is hard work.
This means sacrifice, persistent
effort, and dogged determination.
I have worked hard all my life.
My father did before me. I have
worked because I enjoy it."
3. "I believe in honesty. That
kind of honesty that keeps a man |
from taking something which be- j
longs to someone else is generally j
accepted, of course, but 1 believe '
in that finer honesty that will not j
allow a man to give less than his
best, that makes him count not his
hours but his duties and oppor
tunities, that constantly urges him
to enlarge his Information and to
increase his efficiency."
4. "I believe in having confidence j
in men. I have found my mosi
valuable associates by given men
