Main St. Brevard,^1 GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK TO BRING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE INTO THIS SECTION ANNUALLY, SAYS G0V. GARDNER I . (Continued from page one) the problem of preparing, to reap the benefite and opportunities of this realized dream. "Since 1924 North Carolina has been working in an official and or ganized way toward the acquisition of parks and recreational facilities in the Great Smoky Mountains. To day we see the task almost complet ed. Last reports show that only 53, 000 acre's remain to be acquired in the park area to bring the total to the minimum of 427,000 required ,by the federal government for a national park. "It is appropriate on this occasion to acknowledge the great debt of gratitude which we owe to the vision and philanthropy of John D, Rocke feller, Jr., whose gift of $5,000,000 from the Laura Spellman Rockefeller Foundation, matched the combined sums furnished by the States of 1 North Carolina and Tennessee and 'other private donations. Extends Sixty Miles "The heart of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is of course the magnificent Great Smoky range which meanders through the park for more than sixty miles. Continu ously for twenty-eight miles it is more than one mile above sea level. I The highest peak is Clingman's Dome 1 6642 feet in altitude. The highest : mountain above its immediate base is Mt. LeConte, which in 5 miles rises 5,300 feet, or more than one mile. "In general it may be said the Ten nessee side of the park gives the im pression of ruggedness and the North Carolina side gives- the impression of i vastness. Nowhere in any clime is there such a variety of flowers, trees, i shrubs. There are 152 varieties of I trees. Doubtless more will be added when a thorough botanical survey is made. The park contains the largest and finest stand of red spruce in the United States. There are 202,000 acres of virgin forest. Much of the remainder, logged years ago before ruthless logging operations were the vogue, is now an attractive forest. | The annual rainfall of 84 inches is I exceeded only by that of one locality i on the northwest coast. As the dense forest insures a gradual runoff, there can be no finer streams. Many Trout Streams There are approximately 600 miles of trout water in the park. Adequate stocking program will provide excel lent fishing for all. The park is a ! paradise for wild life. Restocking and zealous protection will insure that all (visitors will see the larger game ani !mals such as deer, bears and elk. "An evidence of the exquisite and unique charm of the Great Smokies i is the fact that enthusiasts from oth ' er state6 have been so prominent in [the successful efforts to establish the ! park. They have increased our pro ' found respect for the beauty and charm of this area. In describing this area these enthusiasts have used such language as this: The most massive uplift anywhere in the East, 'A supreme masterpiece of nature's handiwork which should be preserved for all time to come in its original state. "I promise you that it shall be the I purpose of the state of North Caro lina to cooperate in every way to 1 make the Carolina entrance to the ! Great Smoky Mountains National | Park as attractive as possible. I "I was talking the other day with [Mr. E. B: Jeffres, the able and effi ' cient chairman of the state highway commission. He is planning to pave | the roads leading to the park en trances, and to make full prepara tions for the safe and comfortable travel of the park visitors. "As you know, Mr. Jeffress is a native of Haywood County, and these plans are safe in his hands. He is as interested in the success of the park as you are. Primarily Affected "I need not remind ydu that West ern North Carolina has primarily responsibility and the largest oppor tunity of reaping the returns from the investment in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is not, of course, the only section of the state that will profit from the park. North Carolina will benefit from mountains to seacoast. And east Tennesssee will profit almost as much as North Caro lina. It is of primary importance that this meeting set up plans whereby the maximum returns in the broad est sense will be obtained from this investment and will accrue from this unusual opportunity. It is fundamen tal that no shortsighted policy be adopted anywhere that will tend to decrease the great service this park is going to render the welfare of Western North Carolina. How to let the world know about the beauties, the charm, the appeal, the allure of this great region ; how to advertise the at tractive and delightful ways of enter ing this area through North Caro lina; how to get North Carolina and this region in particular ready for the great change in this section which the park is going to bring about ? these are our chief problems. This undertaking challenges the best, the broadest, the most unselfish concert Df action. It requires the elimination )f petty jealousies. Provincialism has io place in such a program. Every Dart of Western North Carolina will jenefit from our making the Great Smoky Mountains National park a summertime playground for the tour sts of America. Our purpose is to1 iuccessfully sell the beauty and al ure of the park to the nation and o establish the ideal of North Caro ina as the gateway to this natural | vonder. I Of Great Magnitude | "I doubt if the people of this State, doubt if even the leaders of Western s'orth Carolina, realize the magni- 1 ude of this undertaking or the stu- ' lendous opportunity which this nark ? rill bring to Western North Caro Hna. Officials of the national park service estimate the P^-k - . drawing more than a million tourists annually. The entire population of North Carolina 18 ,thrcef t it people. 0?n you conceive rf what it will mean to have one visitor for ev ery three persons in North Carolina and to have all these visitors c?neen trated in the main in this part ^of the State? If the average expenditure per person should amount to $50, the annual harvest of the tourist crop would be more than $50,000,000. This would set the value of the tourists crop at twice the present value of our cotton crop and it would be gathered without, the backbreakmg toil of Pek ing and it would not require the de duction of . half its value to pay the fertilizer bill. Warned to Prepare "Park officials have warned North Carolina and Tennessee to prepare for the tourists. They point out that old industries will be Simulated and new ones created. For instance, i will soon be necessary to have 1,000 additional horses daily to .sal tis :y the pxoioi'intr demands of the visitors. This means new employment and new markets for feed-stuffs in the vicinity of the park. Other develop ments should be new hotels, board ing houses, filling stations, garages, additional markets for fam produ" expansion of mountain handicratts, ''"We need only to realize that this park is within 24 hours of more than Stitetsh'toP?omparehend its immense S&StfSS1 i? *.f x different from other n^tional parks, that it is the most massive uplift any where in the East ana you can appre date the possibility of the staggering figure of more than one million visi tors a year. i "Mr. Thorpe over there (referring to J E. S. Thorpe of Bryson City, '.president of the Mellon-controlled Nantahala Power company) ? P*n ? ning to build a dam in these moun tains that will have more. cement in it than all the paved roads in North Carolina. With this industrial devel opment, and the tourist business the future of Western North Carolina is secure. | Needs Better Conception "North Carolina, as a whole, must get a better conception of the value and drawing power of the park. The I state must put its house in order. I We must clean up public places and i beautify the main routes leading to I the park. It is estimated that at '.least one million residents of Califor nia visited that state first as tourists and either stayed or returned to take up their residence. I believe there is no other single factor that will be a. potent in drawing and keeping future residents and future industries into i North Carolina, as will the Great 1 Smokv Mountains National pa? | "We delight in citing the fact that I North Carolina has one of the pre ' mier highway systems in the nation on which we have expended some I $175 000,000. What better impression could be made on the tourists than I to beautify these lanes of travel, par iticularly the trunk lines that lead to the park? Each of these should be i made a continuous vista of natural 1 flowering plants and stately trees. "Such awe-inspiring areas as 'Grandfather Mountain, Linville falls and gorge, and many others would lead fittingly to the climax of the Great Smokies or would furnish com plementary attractions to the main point of interest. PROMINENT WOMEN i VISIT LODGE HERE ! The local order of the Eastern Star held a meeting Tuesday night of this week and after a session of spe cial business entered into a well prepared program on Robert Morris 'of great historical fame, who was a leader in Masonry and the -founder I of the Order of Eastern Star. | Mrs. A. H. Houston read a. paper on Morris' life, telling of his many writings and his life of devotion to Star and Masonry work. I The Deputy Grand Matron of the twelfth district, with two members of Asheville chapter 191, were pres ent in an unofficial capacity. Airs. Minnie Lewis, D. P. M., after being introduced, spoke shortly on her du ties as an officer and pleased the members with her sincere message. : Other visitors were introduced and i each made a short talk.
