"They come here with one dol
liar and a shirt and do not change
either"
This statement was made in
Henderson county courthouse by
enc of this city's most prominent
! lawyers in reference to the sum-
mer visitors. And as said lawyer
is a resident for some years, |
presume he must know.
For ten months of the year our
| Chamber of Commerce is practi-
cally dead and the Chamber of
! Commerce doesn'tacare if the mer-
I chants give the local citizens a
! fair deal or not. Yes, we had last
winter trade jubilee, number
of folks benefited and the rest of
the citizens who have not been
lucky either criticized the Cham
Der of Commerce very sharply or
called the whole thing unfair and
worse.
Other cities have sales events
where one can buy two suits for
the price of one, or two dresses.
Why can our merchants not do
this, when the rent and overhead
is less here than in the larger
cities. In other wefds, consider
able of the local trade is lost as
our merchants do not make it at
tractive to the local residents to
trade in town. Simply nobody
cares. They all hope that we have
a good summer season and the
other ten months the merchants
are glad when they get by without
losing money.
| This is the reason why all the
merchants are in favor of: more
open Sunday recreation law.
What was done last year to en-
terrain the summer people? Street
dances and a few free entertain
ments at the high school. Very
little hiking and picnics. Just i'm
agine, we advertise our healthy
climate and our beautiful scenery.
Street dances are all right for
some folks but the older people
find them too strenuous and at
times this dance went a little too
far. But the older folks who have
the money and are enjoying the
city have no entertainment. Most
towns have band concerts. Music
is good entertainments for the
young as well as the old, and Sun
days, well, how about some motor
cavalcades in the nearby hills with
picnic supper and so on. | think
it is enough when you attend the
movies six days a week and is bet
ter to give the visitors a chance
to fill their lungs with good fresh
air in the afternoon on Sunday,
and in the morning they can visit
our churches and listen to some
very good sermons.
If we do not plan entertain
ments of a refined nature we will
not get visitors who have money
to spend and are willing to do so.
We will get visitors as. described
by one of our lawyers and whom
| quoted above, and furthermore,
five plan with due care, a. lot of
the visitors might make this their
permanent home.
I noticed that Charlotte, the
Queen City Of the Carolinas, saw
fitstes revoke its Sunday recrea-
ton law and at present is enforc-
ing a lava Sunday law-which
is more. strict,..I believe; than our
Sunday law. Has the Chamber Of
Commerce inquired why Charlotte
made such a change?

MANY snails are to be found
active on the first day that such
a pond contains water, while
there is still q great deal of
snow and ice in the immediate
vicinity. The time factor is ex-
tremeIy important in habitats Of
this kind, and often determines
whether or not a species is to
complete its life-cycle in any
one year, and thus that 1t is to
continue to be a member Of the

MATES IN SPRING
The snail, DR.. Motley explains.

in the spring and lays eggs shortly
after.
