Official Boy Scout Week Poster
President Truman will greet 12 outstanding Boy Scouts in
the White House during Boy Scout Week, Feb. 6 to 12, marking
the 42nd anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Boy Scout
Week will be observed throughout the nation by more than
2,900,000 boys and adult leaders. Since 1910, more than 19.000,000
bcws and men have been members of the organization. "Forward
. on Liberty's Team" is the birthday theme.

and $2,000 to Citizens Bank &
Trust Company and various indi
viduals who initially underwrote
the project. The Chamber of Com
merce took over active manage
ment of the field in the summer of
1950. and since that time has re
ceived a percentage of gate re
ceipts on all activities held there,
as well as the net profit from the
concession stand. All of these mon
eys have been applied against the
lighting debts. To date the indebt
edness has been reduced by $1,
923.45. leaving a balance of $753
vet to be paid to the bank and cer
?ain individuals, the Nantahala
Power and Light Company having
been paid in full. The Chamber
will continue applying all receipts
from the Athletic Field to this
debt until it is entirely paid. It Is
anticipated this will be accom
plished in 1952.

THE CURSE OF DRINK
In the early years of this nation the preachers were a mighty
voice in shaping the destiny of America. They were men of God
They cried out against sin wherever it was found. There are
still some left in this age.
Liquor is humanity's ancient enemy. John Barleycorn is
having to meet little David in many townships and counties. He
will meet him in Murphy, February 14.
Christians, what are you going to do about it? If beer and
wine are voted in, it will be because God's people failed to stand
up and oppose it as they should. Don't let this happen in the nice
town of Murphy. Beer and wine will bring a curse to your town.
| Alcohol brings murder, wife-beatings, hunger, divorce, wasted
money, wasted manhood, wrecked homes and orphans. It fills our
courts with criminal cases, our jails with prisoners, our hospitals
with patients, our orphanages with homeless children, and our
! ldnatic asylums with inmates. Liquor is trying to destroy every
thing the Church stands for. It would even destroy the church
i if it could, and the church can destroy liquor if it will!
Beer will not help your town. It will bring the curse of God
on it. You, as God's children, can win Febniary 14. You can
stand up and defeat this hellish booze in the coming election. Go
to the polls and vote beer and wine out forever. "Wine is a mock
er, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is
not wise." Prov. 20:1. "Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who
hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without
cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the
wine: They that go to seek mixed wine." Prov. 23: 20-33.
This is God's description of a man who drinks. Alcohol is
playing an Important part in rendering asunder happy and secure
family life and in fostering juvenile and adult delinquency.
Parents, do you want your children to be in danger of drunk
drivers? Do you want that young daughter molested by a drunk?
Do you want the bottle put to that son's lips? Do you want your
town to have "beer joints"? Do you want the morals of your town
lowered? Then, cast your vote against beer and wine in the com
ing election.
A gigantic task confronts the Christian church. It must des
troy the liquor business, the fountain head of untold human
misery.
It can be crushed and must be crushed by aroused
opinion. The church must take the initiative in this

Tourist Season
Reaches Its Best
During Year 1951
The 1091 tourist season was the
best In history (or North Carolina's
"Variety Vacattraland", according
to the State Advertising Division
of the Dept of Conservation fc
Development * ?
"Every check point showed an
Increase over IMO," said State Ad
vertising Director Charles Parker,
and every Indication points to
an even bigger season In 1952." ?
Major check points at which ac
curate visitor counts are kept In
clude the Blue Ridge Parkway,
where 2.454.294 visitors were coun
ted for an increase of 629,433; the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Dark where the count was 1.979,-1
208 for an lncreare of 204,943; the
Cherokee Drams where attendance
'rf 131,740 was up 44,600; the
"Lost Colony" cn Roanoke Island
where attendance was 53.255, up
760. and Fort Raleigh, where at
endance of 141 265 was 6,868
above that of 19J0. ?
Parker said that actual counts
and estimates from mountains to
coast indicated that 6,000,000 peo
>'e took vacatiors or stopped over
in the State on vacation tours dur- i
ing 1951. and 'bat the tourist In- |
lustry brought $390,000,000 Into
Vorth Carolina, to make It the |
State's third largest industry in
dol'ar volume, exceeded only by
the textile and tobacco industries
in which North Carolina leads the
world.
The State Advertising Director
aid that tourist industry is also
Vorth Carolina's fastest growing 1
industry, having increased in value I
"rom approximately $35,000,000 a
year in 1937 when the State Ad- j
?ertislng Probram was launched, i
The State Advertising Division's ,
prediction of increased tourist 1
business in 1951 is based on In
creased facilities for the accommo-1
nations of visitois and new at
tractions. Despite difficulties, new I
motor courts have been built on
principal highways from the Outer
Banks of the Great Smokies, and
these are the favorite stopping pla
es for today's highly mobile va-?
-ationlsts. New attractions include ;
extension of highways to scenic
noints. notable among them being
paving of the Blue Ridge Park
vay through Craggy Gardens and
'nto Asheville; the extension of U.
S. 158 from Nags Head to Oregon
Inlet and addition to the paved
highway on Hatteras Island, and
?tew bridges and highways general
>y making travel easier to vacation
objectives. ?
The spread of the five-day week
with longer paid vacations and
the growing trend toward two va
cations a year?one in winter?is
making North Carolina's tourist
industry' more nearly "Year
'Round" than ever before, Parker
said, with the new emphasis plac
' d both on the Mid-South golf and
horse resorts and on hotels, motor
courts and restaurants catering to
stop-over business along main
Vorth South highways. H
