PACE TWO
PROGRESS IN WESTERN NORTH
CAROLINA DURING APRIL
(From Bulieiwi Western X. ( .. Inc.)
The month of April ha* provided,
M)mc of the greatest step* in ;;hc development
-?f North Carolina ever;
noted within thirty day* t;me As
proof we are citing some of the ou
standing happenings since April 1.
Before starting nlease understand
-hat W stem North Carolina. Inc.
does not; claim to have Brought these
things to oass. Our part has been i j
to he-p out ami keep Western North
Carolina u: the vye> ?t the country.
We do earnestly believe that our
organization has in our way aided j ,
the great awake:- . g which :s tak- j
ing place. Some of the projects with
cut doubt had their inception before ,
the office at No. v> Government St. .
ever opened.
Porhap* the announcement. which .
is of greatest general interest to this
end of the State is that the Electric
Bond and Share Company has taken
the first steps toward the develop- ^
men'c of gigantic water power on ..
Pigeon River. ^
Daring April his same company v
bought th" oca; i-wer piant.- at v
Canton and Black Mountain. They
had previously purchased the power ~
plants of the North Carolina Eiec i (
trie Power Company, ami had consoi-| ?
idated with th. AsheviUe Power and ^
light Company. The Biitmore Electric
Company had also been brought
into the eon-elidatiort and power i:ne
already -.r to Swannonoa. Under;
the one system then. we have Biack i
Mountain, Asan-r ?a. Biltmore, Ash. ^
viilf. \\ * -. i<\ Man-hail. *'ant<?r
and 'he French Broad and Pigeonj
River.- It - obab-y rot wise to try
*(. predict the bra! effect of this,
ft?vc op this, eifiora but it is sjifc \
i c
to -ay .ha*, th" basis for a great
industrial development has been laid.
a
fenam!v the Kit tn< Bond and
s
Share Company are amply able to .
provide us v it n a first class electric
power system: they arc not likely
t<? bottle" \v?th trifling project . To ^
have gone thi- far, these wi *
ness men mast ha . -ecu a great f uture
in our ihdiistriai d? vciopir-. ?
brum S\v:innnM?a < me.-, definite
announcement that the IT aeon
Mnnufae'uring ha m i- ha- ,

earing to in* immediately a
large plant f r the tnanufa i.Uring ^
of i u grade cotton blankets. Thisj
means employ men* i n many people.
that many -f our young folks who ^
ha expected to migrate to the Vied- .,
mon: miil region looking for work

is needed so badly, will he an actualn*.

YV stern Nosih Carolina. - recently organized
and Mr. Reuben Robertson .
has beeft elected to the pros lency. j
me -.'omnatiy is planning* an exten-Jj.
j*'vo program of expansion which
leader of its kind in Amci-a a. ,
The announcement thai the J. A. j
Baker Packing" Company is beg inning j ?
the construction ov a lar ge plant in j
A*?hevi!)e means a great deal for]
Western North Carolina. Our stock-j
raising industry should be greatly
stimulated.
The great Balfour Cotton Mil! and
village near Hendersonville is being
rapid'.v constructed. Murphy's knitting
mill seems to he an assured success.
Chimney Rock Mountain, Inc. announce
that their plans to provide
Western North t arolina with a great [
national playground have so far ma-1
terialifted, that the project is assured.'
The siteces- of this development vrill;
put our tourist industry ten years1
ahead and stimulate business everywhere.
Announcement that the Dixie high
way route A. is now open 'or travel
from Western Xortn Carolina to fin-j
cinatti, is one of the best pieces of'
news yet. This means that this summer
and fall we may expect numbers
of tourists from the Middle west
anri intftrnimliota
Word comes in from all direction*
that the eight consecutive day* of
clear spring weather have put practically
all our roads in shape for
travel. The effect on business is very
apparent already.
During April a more was inaugurated
to locate a great National Park
in Western North Carolina Already
the Linviile Gorge, Grandfather Mm.
and parts of the Highland region
have been considered by a ccmmitee
of five, appointed by the Secretary
of the Interior, to recommend a proper
site. Later the Smokies and other
portions of our mountains will be
looked over. We should be careful
not to confuse National Forests and
National Parks.
National Forests are areas of forested
land on the headwaters of our
streams which have an influence on
stream flow and which can grow tree
and thus be a source of our future
supply of timber. The National Forest
can also be developed economically
through grazing, production of
minerals, development of water power,
and cutting of mature timber al
