For Development
Of Smoky Park
(Continaed from pag 1 1st section)
ity sought out by the tourists of
America. Your natural beauty
from many standpoints is unsur
passed. Nature has indeed sprend
her graudeur all around you, and
your citizens arc to he congratu
lated upon the way they h.ivc
exploited these advantages. .
"You live in the shadow of one
of the greatest natural at rail ions
of Eastern America, the Great
Smoky Mountains Natisnal Park.
It is also the most valuable Na
tional attraction in Western North
Carolina. The Kch-ral government
has convened a large boundary of
land which lies in Western North
Carolina and Kastern Tennessee in
about equal portions. Some of
the most beautiful scenery to be
found anywhere ran he seen in this
park. Much publicity has been
given to this park on a National
scale. Here in I he City of Waynes
ville you have ( ont i ucted a perma
nent marker across oiir street in
dicating that you arc the gateway
to the Great Smoky Mountains.
Many thousands of acres of valu
able virgin timheiland have been
removed from your tax books. Hun
dreds of your citizens left their
homes, where they had lived for
decades and where they hoped to
spend the revt of Ibeir lues, in
order that we might realize tlx
value of this great National attrac
tion. To my mind, however, then
has been a widespread disappoint
ment in the progress made toward
developing this park. On the North
Carolina side about the only prog
ress to which we can point at the
present time is the construction
of a highway that leads to Clint;
man's Dome. Practically all the
remainder of the forest is inaccess
ible and in its natural rugged state.
In Tennessee much greater prog
ress has been made. Their high
way is much more beautifully de
veloped. At the foothills in Ten
nessee lies the town of Gatlinburtf.
which has grown like a mushroom
and has developed a stable econ
omy almost upon tourist business
alone. A visitor to the park can
really spend his money in Gatlin
burg. They are prepared to take
it in a legitimate way but on a
very big scale. However, they fur
nish attractions and accommoda
tions that are enjoyable and in-

will be no picigie.s without action,
hence. the li;c taken steps in

proper park i.H'u i.ils.
'I u i nidi r w lt.it is the pro'-'i'a m
of No.rt h ( ';.,( i J i na lor i he furl her j
cle elopinenl of this park. 1 fei I '
suie that the park ollic :als have
ghoh mill h thought to I lie devel-
opinent ol the park, hut the citi
zens anil e;icei;s should Rive theei
the beiiehl of then ideas as has
been done h the- citizens of Ten
nessi'e. KveiA builder commences
with a blueprint for his program
of development. 1 think North
Carolinians should have a blue
print to submit for the develop
ment of the (beat Smokies. lie
fore submitting I'm; blueprint,
hemcevor. I propose that citizens
of Western North Carolina and
Tennessee, he eth.-r n it h their
leaders in C.nviess. meet to con
sider a joint program lor I he ile-ve'-ipmenl
ol the entire park area.
1 think if a committee could be
appointed bv such a group to make
a complete study of the needs
we would find that the citizens
of both stales would get behind
! the lime to devc lop the park. This
generation is entitled to enjoy the
oaik in substantial completion. Ii
will not be developed by those
who argue there has been no dis
crimination. It will not be devel
oped by those who use the word
j "discrimination" in connection with
the park's development. M will
be developed by those far-sighted
citizens who are willing to unite
i to see that a plan is inaugurated
j by the joint action of both states
' :nv oked.
j "The development of this park
I .lioiild include sufficient highways
I to mack the park accessible trom
v aiinus points. Only by the proper
i location of highways into the park
can the adjoining counties, as well
as the Slate and Nation as a whole,
realize the lull benefit of this
national attraction. A highway lo-
caled m your county leading into
the park would assure an mo-ease
of many thousands of visitors
through your county each year.
Consefpieo.nl Iv , this would mean a
ret urn of many thousands of dollar-;
to the citizens of Haywood
County. Without these properly
located highways your county is
certain to lose thousands of dollars
annually from I he tourists who
would enjoy a visit here. I urge,
therefore, that in any program
which mav be approved especial
attention the icon to the location
oi mgnways vwucii will nest serve
the pi ople of the counties of Ihis
seel ion.

importance to the economic prog

markets. Haywood County
inodiices each year approximately
l'i.ilUO head of the finest callle to
be found anywhere. The return
on beef cattle exceeds $1.4(10,(1(10
annually. Hut this is not the maxi
mum return which should he
rcalied at the present time.
The farmers of Haywood County
ami of Ihis mountain seel ion are
heint! handicapped by the Ol'A
prices now existine. These prices
allow too much profit for the mid
dle man and nol enough for I he
humor. Callle are now sell'iic al
about the same ceilinR price which
w.is in effect two vcars au. laving
conditions ami farm labor, as well
a all other types of labor, have
ice Tea-, ed substantially. , farmer
cannot produce a steer today at
I he same cost of two years aco.
It costs him more money to pro
duce these cattle and for that
reason he is entitled to an increase
in the ceiling price. If the farm
ci s would present a united front
in the demands for a better price,
it is my opinion the results would
be satisfactory. The farmer has
long ago learned that Haywood
County is one of the finest sections
to be found anywhere in this slate
for the raising of beef cattle. There
is no reason why he should he
choked, financially, by a eeiling
price which is not in keeping with
general economic conditions. How
ever. I find the farmer is about
the last man in the county to grum
ble about anything. He usually
takes it on the chin, with little or
no complaining, even though he
may be sustaining a loss.
"Since we are talking about cat
tle, I think you might be interested
to know also that Haywood County
has approximately 8,000 head of
fine dairy cattle, and that your
dairy products alone exceed $700,
000 annually. Your fine grazing
lands are a great asset in the de
velopment and stabilization of the
dairy business.
"The farmers of Haywood Coun
ty have also developed a great
tobacco industry. It yields the
second largest return to the farmer
of anything he produces in the
county. The 1945 tobacco crop
yielded mor than $1,200,000.
"In addition to your vast tourist
and agricultural background Hay
wood County is fine of the best
balanced counties from an indus
trial standpoint to be found in this
state. The natural resources of
your county your agriculture and
your industries have made Hay
wood County one of the best bal
anced counties in the United
States. Her economy is sound, her
people industrious, and those who
j live here have the inherent right
t to be proud of the great economic
progress you have made. The ma
jority of 'he people who are em
ployed in your industries are na
tives of the mountains. On Ihe
whole they represent I hi' type of
people who have lived in and
developed Ihis gnat mountain
country for more than a century
and a ball. They are a loyal
people loyal to their country,
I heir slate and their naliou. In
war they are first to volunteer and
bear arms in defense of I heir coun
try. In peace I hoy are fu st to
promote the welfare and good of
their cnmimmily. ' Here in the
Champion I'aper and l-'ihre Com
pany, with more than ,(111(1 em
ployees, representing one of Ihe
largest inchislries of its kind in Ihe
country. I here has not been a strike
of employees in approximately a
quarter of a cenliirv. And 1 dare
say during thai period there has
been more si i ikes in the United
Slates than in all oilier periods of
our national existence. I commend
Ihe employees of Haywood Coun
ty's industries for the tine record
they have established. II is worthy
of particular nob- in this day and
I lime when slrikes seem lo be
fashionable.
"I feel that Hie record labor has
established in llavwood County is
a good example for the nation to
follow. Strikes thai have occurred
have almost immediately been set
tled by negotiations and in most
instances ditforenccs between labor
and management have been settled
without even the thread of a strike.
That bespeaks the friendliness
which exists between labor nnd
management in the mountain areas,
and I congjratulalc them upon
their spirit of cooperation. There
is no reason why this altitude
should nol continue and improve.
Labor is dependent upon manage
ment and management is depend
ent upon labor. They have a com
mon interest in each other. The
livelihood of both are involved.
Neither can survive without the
cooperation of the oilier. I feel
sure that thev are striving always
in Haywood County lo reach an
understanding thai will best pro
mole the interest of bolh.
"No fine can Ihink of Ihe moun
tains of Western North Carolina
without their Ihoughls turning to
Haywood Ccuinly. II is outstanding
in many respects and entitled to
certain considerations in its own
right. Your civic oi ganizal ions and
your citizens as a whole have
fought unflinchingly lo make it a
better place in which to live. Their
efforts have been crowned with
success, but I am sure their goal
has not been reached. I urge that
you keep on fighting with the in
domitable will that has made your
county great. This is not the time
It) sleep al Ihe switch. It is the
time for action. II is time for
progress. Unite and present a
solid front in your demands for
greater progress in behalf of the
development of Ihis great county."
