Editorial Comment We hope that the Garden Club’s poster contest on the theme “Don’t Be a Litterbug” will bring forth som« ideas that are arresting enough to make Jitterbugs really stop and think or rather, think and stop. In fact some litterbugs of whose activities we have been told rec ently deserve to be arrested. Re ports come in of glass bottles ‘ being thrown from cars onto lawns of Burnsville homes. Even the less dangerous forms of littelbugging are hardly a contribution to a more beauti ful town or county. In a region so generously endowed with natural beauty and grandeur, it seems not only thoughtless but downright irrevelent to spoil the landscape with man-made litter. As in every community we have a few to whom it would be futile to make an appeal due to the great majority of people in our community who have a sense of decency arid responsibility we wish to lend our voice to that of the Gardeii Club in an appeal to think be considerate. Such a simple procedure as stuffing a scrap of paper into your purse or pocket until a time when you can properly dispose of it in stead of throwing it on the street or sidewalk can make a big difference in the appearance of our town. It takes all of us to keep our community beautiful. And it’s a form of cooperation that will pay big dividends. in the United State* inside a five-block area in New York City.

SBfcpt PRESNELL & PRESNELL NEWDALE, N. C. VIOLET RATS ONODRWAYS By H. M. Alley ** * * Note: This column is written with malice toward none, but with the common good of all in mind. ** * * COVERING THE NEWS: The year 1954 was said to be the second biggest year in news paper advertising with outlays from all sources of $594,120,- 000. This was below the record year of 1953 .when the all-time high of $601,224,000’ was paid to the various newspapers and magazines by all types of busi ness and enterprizes. Advertising is the life’s blood of newspapers. Os busi ne»s'~4oo. And just look who pays: - That conglomerate mass of human beings commonly known as the general public. That same crowd, if you please, which raises an annual- rum pus about high taxes, but which indirectly pays hundreds of millions in adverting bills without a whimper. Did you ever see such funny folk as people, anyway ? ** * * A news item tells of a dent ist over in Covington, Kentucky, who shortened the over-long teeth of a bunny squirrel So that the little animal could I ~ 4>ls» L a—J sxii - - ‘lNothing to it,” said the dent ist in describing the operation. “Three of us held him is a towel to kpepliim from squirm ing. He pok it very well.” There now! We always did think the dentists were holding back something they might do to lessen the nightmare that most- people old and young en dure every time they have to sit for a tooth extraction or filling. If three people can hold a bunny squirrel - and prevent him squirming while the dent ist works on his teeth, then why not wrap a human patient in a towel and provide enough holders to keep him from squirming during similar op- m 11 11 ■ CHEROKEE RANCH WILD WEST RODEO 1 The world famed Cherokee Ranch Wild West Rodeo of Goree, Texas will be presented by the Lions Club for three per formances at the Main Street Show Lot in Burnsville on Fri day and Saturday June 10-llth. Performances will be -given each night at 8:15 and a matinee on Sat. at 2:30. „ Proceeds will be used by the Lions' Club toward their work among the blind and other worthy projects. The Cher »kee Ranch in the largest exhibition rodeo on tour and is known throughout the universe as the World’s great est wild west rodeo.. The big rodeo will bring to Burnsville eratioris or treatments?. Os the many dentists the writer has had to visit through the years, not one has ever even suggested one or more holders. Consequently he has 1 done quite a bit of squirming i that might have been prevented 1 by proper holding. And another ,( thing this writer is peeved < about is that if one dentist carij l fix a bupny squirrel up to £ where he can “crack the hard est nuts,” why can’t other den- tists do the same for us poor human npt crackers? *•* # • ' Al , . Now that speed limit "signs on North Carolina Highways are being replaced with “Safe Driving” signs, maybe a few of ' the reckless drivers who never made over 35 miles per hour will get proper attention from the Highway Patrols. And oth ers who chafed at the former 55 mile per hour limits will now insist that they can do the curves at 75 mph., and still be on the safe side. And of course those who hriV’e driven through Burnsville’s 35 mil** per hour speed zones at 60 plus, will strive to set new records. ** * * A news item says +hat the kitchen as we know it today may be pn its way out, in the 1 home building program of the ’ future. We’ve been expecting | as much, with fewer and fewer girls being taught how to cook. Eesraes wmrr ffr many' reiem ion programs to be watched, how could a man be so heart less as to expect his wife or 1 daughter to take the necessary time to stgw and bake a lecerit meal? After ail, isn’t the Ham burger Joint down the street, ’ where so many couples “eat ; out,” good enough for married ‘ couples also? I ** * * Well, folk, this is all the news that can be covered in this one column. A big book could be written on the subject, but by 1 the time it was published it t would be so badly out of date 1 no one would have time to read If, So, ’Nuff Sed. • •fir more pure pleasure, ! have a Camel No other cigarette is so rich-tasting vet so mild THE YANCEY RECORD : MRS.
