"The National Parks more than pay their way in relation to the National Budget," Conrad Wirth, director of National Parks, is tell ing in a series of addresses throughout the nation. His ad dress was presented, together with slides at the recent WNCAC meet ing at Cullowhee, when "Mission 66" was presented to civic leaders of this area. The plan, according to the di rector, is to complete the develop ment of all Parks by 1966. The director pointed out an 8 point program, which starts out with three assumptions: that we must plan for a total visitation of 80 million by 1966: second, that this visitor load must be accom modated without undue harm to the parks, and third, that our plans for the future shall include all ex isting facilities that arc useable. "Here is what we propose," the director said: 1. Secure greater participation of private enterprise in serving the public in the parks, as well as including facilities in commun ities adjacent to the parks, and in providing utilities in the parks. 2. Locate visitor accommoda tions at sites in attractive sur roundings. where they can be op erated efficiently at reasonable cost, and where they will not en croach upon major park features. This may require additional legis lation for financing purposes. Where feasible, we will also move our administrative and utility ser vice facilities away from import ant visitor-use areas. 3. Provide the kind of visitor use facilities that will meet con ditions imposed by modern means of transportation and modern leisure time habits. 4. Develop so as to result in greater dispersion of visitors geo graphically throughout a park and use over a longer period of each year. 5. Expand the public service and information and guide pro grams so as to provide better op portunities for visitor under standing of a park and to improve visitor cooperation in the protec tion of the park. 6. Acquire under federal owner ship all lands within the boundar ies of the parks, and eliminate uses which are unsightly and not in keeping with park purposes. 7. Provide for adequate housing for our staff which Is a very im pOrtant part of our protective pro gram. This can be done by a re volving fund program that will be self-liquidating, but additional leg islation will be needed. 8. Sponsor a coordinated nation ? wide recreation plan leading to a nation-wide recreational system iln accordance with the intent of the Park, Parkway, and Recreational Area Study Act 1936). This plan should prodtfre a system of recreational developments in which each level of Government bears its proper share of the ex panding recreational load. I might add that the provlem of the Na tional Parks cannot entirely be solved without reference to the State and local park systems, and the recreational use of State and Federal lands. These eight points are the start of a realistic devolepment plan based on modern conditions. We have the details of this plan ready ?one package?MISSION 66 ? A sound, reasonable plan that will accomplish the desired results. But. to go with this plan we need a realistic business plan ? a ftnan . cial plan which will take care of the Federal Government's part as well as that of the concessioner. "It is going to take money to carry out this program. How Rotary Student Heard Friday By Rotarians Rotarians heard one of their in-1 ternationai exchange students on Friday as Mario Herandez, of Guatemala, now a student at West ern Carolina College. Herandez discussed the eco nomic, political and business life oi nis cuuiury, ana maae a com parison with the United States. One of his greatest, surprises, he pointed out, was to find the people in the State so friendly. He declared that prior to coming to the States he had received an im pression from American tourists in his native land that the people were rather "cold, indifferent and far from friendly." "Everyone here is so friendly, and cordial, that it makes you feel good to be here," he remarked. Herandez studied agriculture ex perimentation, specializing in plant diseases prior to coming here. He hopes to continue this experiment al work both here and in his own country. . He feels that the Pan-American highway will be a great aid to his I country, and the progress being made in lifting the standards of education in his native land will be an important factor in bring ing about a better understanding among all peoples. much? I shall not have a firm esti mate until later, but it would be unrealistic to think we can do the job without substantial increases in development and operation funds. "The concessioners also must be given assistance, either through private capital, or perhaps on a lease - purchase program initially financed by the Federal Govern ment. "These are the elements of our plan to provide for visitors and to protect this natural resource. These are the physical things that must be done, but the building of roads, or the providing of accom modations are only the means to an end. I mentioned earlier what the economists say about the busi ness aspects of parks and recre ation. The sociologists and recre ation planners also are concerned with America's expanding leisure time. Here is what the president of the American Recreation As sociation says on this matter: 'One of the major trends today is leis ure. This is a fact. How we are prepared to use that leisure time and what we do with it will to a great extent determine the kind of people and the kind of nation we will be in the future. Let me say that again ? The way we use leisure will determine the kind of nation we are tomorrow. This I firmly believe.' "I see the National Parks set ting a national pattern for the most wholesome and most bene ficial kind of recreation. WTiere else do so many million Americans under the most pleasant circum stances come face to face with their Government? "Where else but in God's crea tion, the great open wilderness of park and forest, do they have an opportunity to recapture the spirit and something of the qualities of the pioneers? Where else but on historical ground can they better renew the Idealism which prompt ed the patriots to their deeds of diplomacy and valor? "Pride in their Government, love of the land, and faith in the American tradition ? these are the things the National Parks can give the American people. To do this is worth all that we need to spend," he said.
