CPhoto by licaton) Farm Bureau In State Start Fact Finding Surveys The North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation embarked this week on an intensive fact finding survey, which will be carried out by the o; ganizatlon's county units to de termine what farmers desire in the way of a national farm program for 1954. The Secretary of Agriculture has each morning by J. Bruce Morford, Champion's manager of Industrial and Community Relations. Morford introduced H. A. Helder, vice-president and Carolina divis ion manager of the paper and fibre firm, who spoke on "Champion's Effect on the Economy of this Area."

State Farm Bureau officials, working with the North Carolina Extension Service, have prepared a two-page questionnaire covering all aspects of the national farm program, which farmers will have an opportunity to fill out during a series of meetings between now and November 10. County Farm Bureau leaders are being requested to make certain that all farmers receive the necea sary information concerning the survey in ample time for them to complete the questionnaire. The results of the survey will be used not only in advising the Secretary of Agriculture, but to keep Congress and other groups informed on grass-roots thinking, 'Farm Bureau officials said. .

Rep. George A. Shuford of Ashe ville, joined with Rep. Howard Baker and Rep. Carroll Reece of Tennessee in support of a definite plan to follow through in support of increased funds in next year's appropriations. A sub-committee of the joint commission was named to meet with the congressmen in Washing ton next Thursday to outline the fieeds of the park to the proper authorities. Rep. Baker agreed to arrange for a meeting with the Director of the Budget at the White House on that date. They also planned to ask the aid of Sherman Adams, assistant to President Eisenhower. Named to the sub-committee were Kelly Bennett of Bryson City, William Medford of Waynesville, Edward J. Ashe of Knoxville, Tenn., and Herbert S. Walters bf Morristown, Tenn. Rep. Shuford declared, "1 am 100 per cent behind this movement, j t The park needs more funds for the increased number of visitors and i the new facilities they are now i building." He noted that for this year the funds have been cut $70,000 from 1 $550,000 recommended by the Bu reau of the Budget. This gives the park less than the previous year with increased facilities to main tain, Mr. ShutTord said. "1 think too," Mr. Shufford said, "That it is up to the cities and towns surrounding the park to publicize the advantages of this great park more. Visitors have been told too little about the rec reational paradise we have here." i Mr. Baker suggested that an em ergency appropriation be asked to : replace the $70,000 cut from this year's budget in view of the in creased need. The sub-committee members, Mr. Baker said, will carry through by going before congressional com mittees considering the park bud get, and in addition, will see all persons necessary in the capital. ^lr. Ashe labeled the new action a ' grass roots, by-state movement" j needed to protect a "great federal isset." The park is in "serious danger" | from the cut in funds. He said the commission and the congressmen made a trip to Clingman's Dome and then met at the park office to discuss the situation. Information supplied by Park Superintendent Edward S. Hummel showed the park has six fewer maintenance employes now than were employed in 1941. Bt* this year more than two mil lion visitors will be taken care of, while in 1941 the number was only about 250,000, Hummel said. Attending the meeting, besides the three congressional representa tives were Bennett, chairman of (he North Carolina National Park, Parkway and Forests Development Commission. Medford. Ashe and Jim Thompson of Knoxville, Walt ers and Charles McD. Puckett of Chattanooga, Tenn.
