EDITORIAL COMMENT There is still no word about the future of. the Duplan Plant in Burnsville. . Calls to : the ■management bring forth no information. It is a little as if the future of the plant is of no interest to the community or none of its concern. The $40,000 the community put in to the plant points up both the interest and concern of local people. This does not reflect an atti tude of contempt on the part of;the firm. On the contrary, the management of Duplan has always displayed a lively inter est in the welfare of the com munity. It does however, indi cate the difficulty of a large corporation’s becoming an in trinsic' and integral part of a small community. Whether Duplan is sold, closed, or undergoes a curtail ment of production, there will foe a continued interest in bringing job-providing busi nesses to the county. In such efforts in the future it may be well to consider the advantage of a number of small industries over those of •one large business ■What are these advantages?

C. retained within the comnfufrity rather than sent to the mother corporation in New York or Chicago. Several small businesses would offer greater opportuni rties for leadership to more of the young people of the com munity, A greater variety of skills would be required giving local people more opportunity to grow and develop along lines of their personal interests. hr hard times and during periods of distress, a greater effort would be made to solve the problems of continued op eration locally rather than con solidating and falling back to another plant in another state. And finally, in many ways small can operate more competently and efficient ly than large industries. Once when Charles Kettering, one of America’s leading industrial ists, was asked why he delayed putting a certain product on the market General Electric or Westinghouse might beat he replied, “I am not afraid ’of General Electric or ‘Westing house. What I am afraid of is some young man working in a barn.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE RECORD * i -yy ] VEOIIY RAYS jj a ON OUR WAYS 1— ~ By B. M. Attey •*• * i Note: This column is written i with malice toward none, but with the common good of all in * mind •* * • MQDEL-T FORD MEMOIRS CONTINUED: “Oh, those dear old days of the ModeLT Ford, my heart is on them yet,”—thus runs the thought of many a man who had one of those early gas powered vehicles. In fact, if you ever had a ModeLT, you are not apt ever to forget it. And it is possible to find some of those who once drove Model- T’s who contend that the whole country wojild have been ter off financially and other wise if the automobile industry had never advanced beyond 'those days. * # * * One thing sure back in those days we didn’t read the ghastly records of hundreds of traffic deaths over a holiday week-end. Rarely when one had a wreck in a Ford back then did it result in serious injuries. And anoth er thing,—the „ percentage of would be road hogs and ppeed demons among drivers in those days seems to have been much less than now. Still another fac tor-many automobile fatali ties today are said to result from drivers getting drowsy or going to sleep at the wheel. But there was little danger of the driver of a Model-T Ford getting sleepy on the average road of those days! And head on collisions were also rare for the simple reason that one rarely met another car. •» • * Oh, yes, there were some wrecks to be sure, but few that were fatal, either to the car or its occupants. The writer re calls one 1917 Ford that turned over on its side when speeding down grade, as the driver tried to negotiate a sharp curve. It was full of young folk going to a party. Fortunately they were nearing their destination, and all were able to finish the trip on foot, dust covered and raither much excited, but nary a scratch. 'The Ford lay peace fully there in the road until the next day, when the owner and a few neighbors came with prize poles and set it back on its wheels, none the worse for its experience,—not even a dent or scratch on its body. They used sturdy metal in those early models, mister. * * * Uncle Josh says: “Me, I members a bad wreck down to Cedar Crick, U. S. A. when Sam Spender sold his ’baccer crop an bought hisself one o’ them THE YANCEY RECORD 5 —r ModeLTb. He figgered to make a big show u p fresent his house in thet new cyar, an tole all the nayfoors, but ’minded ’em not to tell his ole woman an kids. So, she folks a_gatherin in on the pinted day, an a.askin when she ’spected Sam back from Market. But then ’bout four o’clock in the atternoon we heared hit a coming aroun the mountain, an in a leetle while thar come ole Sam drivin inter the yard. P’rhaps hit were a_ seeing all thet crowd a_ganderin at him, —but suthin happened to make Sam fergit what to do to stop thet Ford. So he druv rite through the crowd, scat terin ’em right an left , an commenced circling about amoung the shade trees. Now an then he’d pull back on the steerit wheel an hollar “whoa,” like he would to a run_away team of hosses. At fust we thought Sam were jest up to some o his fool pranks. But when he run over several of his wife’s flower beds, an a ole mother hen with a gang of baby chicks, an almost kilt his ole coon houn, Tige, whar he’s asleep in the grass, we’uns knowed then that no man in his rite senses would act like that. So, as he made his next round, several of us fellars -jumped out from behine trees an tried to ketch thet runa way Ford by the door handles, which were ’bout the onliest things alsticking out on them early Srodels. You see the fust ’uns didn’t have no bumpers an other nickle-plated gadgets like they do now. Tim Thoma's ketched a door handle on the right, an Landy Landers nailed the one on the left. Me, I couldn’t see a hand holt no wheres ontil hit were done passed by. Then I seed a leetle red.eyed gadget a sticking up behine, —a toil light they called it. I made a flyin leap an nailed hit with both hands. “Waal, then and thar I larn- MENUS BURNSVILLE LUNCH ROOM Thursday, September 22: Pinto beans, Tomatoes, Collard gveens, Banana pudding, Corn bread, Butter, Milk.
