THE TWENTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF
SCOUTING
Today marks the I'liil of a vvuek oi celebra
tion bv the Ilov Scouts o) America, m celebra
tion of" their Hventv-sixth anniversary.'. Sat
urday' was the birthday of Scout ins, and a mil
lion re-dedieated themselves to the Scout oath
and law.
What such a youth program is dointr. has
been doing-, for over a quarter of a ceiituiA, m
contributing to the virihtv, idealism and social
: responsibility of our national life both now and
in the years to come, is beyond counting.
A man-power is being created "ph sieally
'strong, ment illy awake, and morally straight,"
dedicated to service and loyalty to God and
country. friendliness to man, beast and bird,
and even to "he very trees of the forest.
The Hoy ."-it'outs of America may well con
gratulate itself on this its twenty-sixth anni
versary, .scouting is here among us in Hay
wood County, carrying on in its fine, practical
ideals,, its great out-of-door traditions, is surely
a matter tor deep gratitude lor the present, and
hope for the future.
TiN CAN .TOURISTS
Tik' annual convention of the "Tin Can
Tourists of the World" is meeting this week in
Saras t a. Fla., for a week. This is perhaps the
most uni'-ue (;rg.irix.ation in the world, as there
are no dues or fees .attached. It is simply a
gathering of tourists tka' travel in trailyrs at
tached to their cars.
Thousands of these trailers carrying en
tire 'families are enjoying a full week of enter
. tainment, v.'hicl; is being arranged by t iu mselv
. es. The .convent i'on- site is composed, of several
ici c i Iirgc oer-Med toun-t camp
. In cimnec'ion with the convention of "Tin
. Can Tourists." we.-l-arn that there are over loo
factories in I'uJ.ed States, .many working
night shifts, manufacturing automobile trailers.
. Predictions hive been .made that trailer con
struction is. becoming the outstanding bv-pro-duet
of an automobile age..
With these two facts in mind, it seems mot
timely that this community make some etfor.'s
to encourage that kind of tourist business here.
Thev are going somewhere. 'Ihev can t be stop
ped, so why not provide lor them here?
We readily agree that such a group ot tour
ists do not leave as much money m a-community
as those stopyiing at the hotels and boarding
houses, but every little bit helps, and "the tin
can tourist's" money is as good as any other.
A thorough study of trailer-travel is wor
thy of our most serious consideration. It was
only a few years ago that such a mode of travel
was looked down upon, but todav, with every
modern convenience in the trailers, families
that can afford to stay in even the most expen
sive hotels are using them. We have had that
to happen in Waynesville.
The life in a trailer offers something that
is so different from what the tourists have for
the remainder of the year, that the very idea
is inviting.
We do not believe that the "trailer toj--ists"
will ever grow to the point where hotels
for tourists will not be used, but we do know'
that the trailer-travel has seriously cut in on
tourist hotel revenue during the past few years,
and with larger increases each year.
OPENINIG THE PARK
The Chambers of Commerce of Western
North Carolina and Congressmen in Washing
ton, are doing all that it seems possible to do to
have the opening of the Great Smoky Moun
tains National Park this summer.
Whether they will convince the park heads
of the necessity of the opening this year is prob
lematical. Some of the park officials seem in
clined to wait until later, and no doubt their
reason or reasons for wanting to wait are pure
ly selfish ones, and in some instances might
even he for political purposes.
But, that as it may, this entire section .will
be far better off, and in our estimation, realize
some of the first benefits from the park, on and
after the formal opening, and until that time
we will be just marking time in order to keep
our enthusiasm warmed for the occasion.
It is true that there is much to be done in
the park. It is far from being fully developed,
but the required acreage is there. The main
highways leading through the park are open,
and the scenery and all the natural beauties
that ever will be there are waiting to thrill the
very souls of those who have thus far been un
fortunate enough not to see them.
The opening of the park will be just the
beginning of completing the job. The proposed
tourist camps, trails and lodges will then get
underway, but not likely until the park is offi
cially opened. The opening will mean the set
ting up of the organization that will carry out
these plans.
All of Western North Carolina would do
well to get organized and exert the right de
mands on those who are m authority for grant
ing the formal opening.

SAVINO THE COUNTY MON'EV
Disposing of three homicide cases in three
la.s, and not a one going to a uiry is perhaps
a record in Havwood Countv.
It was particularly noticeable this term of
court that the officials considered the expense
of court to the county, and did everything to
cut coiners and save all that could be saved,
liecause ot bad roads, no court was held Sat
urday, thus saving many dollars of the tax
payer s monev.
Such action on the part of court officia's
is to be commended, and the citizens of the
county shou!ti appreciate their stand in cutting
expenses..'..

A travelmo: salesman stopped in last Sa
uida.v to express his thanks through this paper
to the Highway Department for the manner in
which the highways were promptly cleared of
snow Friday.
"1 drove from Murphy to Asheville Fridav
aiternoon," he said, "without chains, and when
I got to m home m Axhewlle. I had to buj
chains to go mst a block."
I iom the report of the salesman, the towns
between Murphy and Asheville failed to keep
pace .with the highway forces and the streets
vs ere extremely dangerous, especially on hills.
The streets in towns are used much mora
than the highways, yet very seldom are they
cleared of snow and ice.
WORTH DEVELOPING
The statement of Mr McGovern. a forest
er in the park, published in last week's isue of
thi. paper, that "the park is the most complete
laboratory for the study .of trees and shrubs in
the East" u .something worth developing.
. We do not feel that it is too much of a
dream to think of an extension unit of several
large universities being located in this section
like the Columbia University unit New Col
legeat Spnngdale. Certainly the location is
ideal, and the living conditions above reproach,
.so why wouldn't it be a good idea to keep such
a thing among our future plans?
The fact that there are over 300 different
kinds of trees and shrubs in the park, to say
nothing of the minerals and rock formations,
offers a combination for field study not found
anywhere in the East.
