The Parkway Spur Opens
The formal opening of the 4-mile link of
the Blue Ridge Parkway at Soco Gap on Wed
nesday will be the first section of this famous
4.r)0-mile drive to be paved west of Asheville.
This 4-mile link is part of the 11-mile spur
section from Soco Gap to the scenic Heintoo
go area. The remaining 6 miles will be pav
ed by Thanksgiving.
The Mountaineer finds that is is not pos
sible to give in words an adequate descrip
tion of the scenic views attained from the
new. section of the Parkway. ':'",,,
Starting at Soco Gap the road follows long
sweeping curves to the top of the mountain,
and there follows the ridge, affording full
views back into the Balsams, as well as into
the very heart of the Smokies.
About 3'o miles from Soco, there is a
beautiful loop driveway, and overlook, ap
propriately named Mile High Overlook, so
named because it is exactly 5280 feet above
sea level at this point. Here one may stand
and look west to Newfound Gap, Clingman's
Dome, Mt. Guyot, Sawtooth Range, and al
most straight down into Bundle's Creek, and
the Flat Creek area. As the observer slowly
turns, he can look beyond the Heintooga area
over to Mt. Sterling, and then Black Camp
Gap, and as he turns, Pisgah looms tip in the
distance, then Mt. Junaluska, Water Rock
Knob and the other peaks of the Balsams.
From this one point, scores of famous land
marks of the Smokies and Balsams seem right
at hand. ' .
The engineering of the roadway is mar
velous, and the driving is easy. Man has
cooperated with nature to make it truly a
road over which motorists can get close to
the scenic beauties which heretofore have
been lost in the fastness of the wilderness of
the Smokies and the Balsams.
We feel that it is fitting that Charles E.
Ray was called upon to make the address of
dedication for the opening of this link of the
Parkway. Mr. Ray has been a leader in this
project for many years, and envisioned the
value of the spur road long before many peo
ple realized what was available in the way
of scenic beauty in the section.
Mr. Ray led the program which eventually
enabled Rep. Monroe M. Redden to get an
allocation of funds with which to build the
section of the Parkway which is being open
ed Wednesday,
This section of the Parkway should be a
distinct drawing card for this entire area, and
adds another major attraction for Western
.North Carolina. v;"';"':"V";'-i' ',v: ; ''.-,;'

TIic present proposed program is only two
thirds of what was orii.-inaily su'ested. This,
rnany. feel, is a wise move; and that the pres
ent program is in keeping 'with everything

The board of commissioners expressed
tbcmsolves forcefully on the present program,
mW terra it practical, and as sufficient to give
I fay wood a fine school building program for
a number of years. To this plane of think

Two Serious Problems
Two major problems confront local officials
both of them relative to water. In the first
place, as Mayor Way pointed out last Thurs
day, we have ample water on the mountain,
but getting it filtered now constitutes a maj
or headache, with the filtering plant 46 years
old. .
The second major problem, which concerns
botji the towns of Waynesville and Hazel
wood, is the disposal of sewage. It seems that
for some reason, the sewer line overflows at
times into Richland creek just before the
creek flows into Lake Junaluska, thus caus-ing-and
creating much concern in that area of
the community.
So right now, our officials are gravely con
cerned with the problem of getting water into
town from the mountain on the south, and
properly disposing of it to the river on the
north.
ONE MORE TIME Remember
that minister in your community
who preached about a dozen "fare
well sermons" before, finally rnov-'
Ing off the scene? In midsummer
of 1948, Don Elias of Asheville
was quoted as saying that he was
through with politics particularly
as regards lending his active sup
port to a gubernatorial candidate.
Political observers attributed the
statement to the fact that his man,
State Treasurer Charlie Johnson
had just bowed in defeat to Kerr
Scott.
Elias came to Raleigh during the
final days of the campaign and
threw his full efforts into the John
son campaign at the Sir Walter
headquarters, All in vain. Then, if
memory serves correctly, he took a
trip up North, when the results of
his efforts became apparent.
But politics can be compared
with gambling in its come-hither
beckonings. It does look as if Elias

this because he feels guilty at hav

the guilt by shifting it to other

May a sense of guilt cause

Answer: ,Yes, The essence of
paranoia is 'delusions ef perse

are attempting or conspiring to
hurt you. This may be supported
by the person's hearing non-existent
"voices" calling him names, or

ADMITTANCE
Should employers understand -
their workers?
Answer: Yes. One of the domi
nant trends in industry today is
the growing realization that the
employer, who tries to Ignore his
workers' personal attitudes and
feelings is heading his business to
ward the scrap-heap. For in
stance, Raymond W. Peters tells
us in the Personnel Journal that
management should both learn to
"communicate" with employees
and their unions, and learn what
the wor.'-!r want to know, how
they feel and what they think.
Running a successful business is
at least as much a psychological
problem as it is a problem in tech
niques or economics and the mo
rale of a plant is as important as
that of an army.
