See The Tundluska Story' If thf^opportunity presents itself, be sure to see "The J una lu ska Story." It Wlp afford you 74 inmates of real en joyment, plus a deeper appreciation of one of our major assets in this community. The color picture, eapertly done, is truly "The Junaluska Story." There are scenes in the picture, made from the biff boat just a little way off-shore that not tnifiy people here have ever enjoyed seeinp. The flowers, the reflection in the water* and the varied activities of the As sembly grounds all -go to make up the picture and give a wonderful story. ? Whltrthe 10 prints at the film are booked solidly untQ July, the trustees have ordered three additional prints, and we trust provis ion wtf* be made for all Haywood to have an opportunity to see them ere long. I.akejunaluska is truly a gem rfmong this vast scenic beauty of Western North CardUHK Biggfr And Bettor Program For several hours recently, we sat In on a conference and heard leaders of the Mqfho dist Church discusa two conferences that are scheduled to be held this season at Lake Junaluaka. , The first major conference will be the Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference in July, at which time more than 3,000 from the nine southeastern states are expected to at tend. Then late In August several thousand others'from the four corners of the globe will arrive tor the World Methodist Council. Already housing is being assigned dele gates within a seven-mile radius of the Lake. Elaborate plans are being made for enter tainment, which will include for the most part sdehic trips into this immediate area. The 1990 program at Lake Junaluska is far beyond anything ever experienced before, and it now looks like it might be just the beginning for many other conferences equal ly as important. a ongnier t mure The present picture at Unagusta Manu facturing Corporation shows that the new program Will include far more people on the payrolls, as the line of manufacture is expanded'in their new, larger and modern plant. The^Hnouncement of the expansion plans is indeed encouraging, and in itself, equiva lent to another small plant congng here. However, the expansion of Unagusta, just ab in the case of Dayton Rifbber Company Here, gives a brighter oiitlook in the local industrial field, which is steadily growing. The feet thet Unagusta has a production deadline to meet in the fall, means that the building will rise rapidly. And while the building is being erected other crews will be assembling machinery and making floor plans fpr its installation for stream-lined production. Unagusta's optimism, and program for the future la far-reaching, and will have a won derful effect upon this entire area. The eflow flakts of Tuesday morning was just Mothet- Nature's way of shaking her finger at us as a reminder that "although spring il on thb way, ft ain't here yet." VrTCIVlTfl /kW /\ltl?vwe* nnvm/vsan Racing &n The Highways Is Often Speedy Murder An epidemic seams to be sweeping the na tion. "rtie curicnt craze is hot-rodding or racing on the Highways. Moat of it is being done by teen-agers, according to officers. The epidemic li causing countless thous ands of parents sleepless nights. Law enforcement officers move at every hint of Where the racers might be congregat ing. 1 Said to sayrthfe community is not immune to the epidemic But on the brighter side, officers know more of the flottential racers, and have a list of many of thetn, than do officers In many other communities. Monday afternoon one racing car, tb'e pa trolman reported upon Investigation, failed by a wide margin of reaching the finish line. In fact, the two dtcupauts of the speeding car almost reached the finish line of their lives. ' What is the cause of the nation-wide epi demic! There does not s^em to be a clear-cut untturAr It is a craze similar to that of swallowing goldfish, tree-sitting, and writing chain let ters. It remains unanswered and as being just "one of those things." Of all the different crazes, this one of rac ing on the highways is by far the most ser ious. How can a participant stop and think for a moment as to the possible outcome and then get under the wheel and take part in a race? When one considers the blood, agony, hor ror, and suffering to say nothing of expenses, that result from many racers, it is unthinka ble of how the foolish "sport" goes on and on. Officers are out to fight this thing to a finish, and they have the law, common sense, and the public behind them. Sooner or later the foolish craze will stop, but we are afraid not until there have been too many hurt, and perhaps some put to rest in some shady spot in a cemetery. Those who are determined to race should face the facts, that in such a sport, there never is a consistent winner, and when you lose in this game you never get to read the headline. /S ? ? ? w ? > mw. . ? ? r .

' A 5-Year Labor Contract The three-fold announcement of Unagusta Manufacturing Corporation shortly after noOn Monday here is indicative of the step ped-up 'program of t!he furniture firm. Included in the announcements, was the encouraging news that a 5-year contract had beetl signed between the corporation and the Union. As one official expressed it, "the signing of the contract signifies the mutual confidence and cooperation." We feel that the signing of the 5-year con tract is of vital importance, and plays a vital role in the future expansion of the firm. Both labor and management are to be congratulated upon working out such a long time program and signing a contract covering 60 months. ft is things like this that is bringing about better understanding and cooperation. And where one finds these, it is always evident of progress of the highest degree. ? lliVVS ur UlflCJl EiUUVKS the New Highway Tax Plan Oban A Compromise Read v?> Miuu/, vviifivas will cn#ci in w* phnded highway conatructlon program at thia ses sion.

'diss/A Maloney Parkway Appropriate Name To Give Foothills Route * In Smokies East Tennrsseans should be universally gratified at the action of President Eisenhower In re questing a $20,000,000 expend i . ture for construction oI the Foot hills Parkway, whiclT has been the fond dream of park enthusi asts hereabouts for many years. Our hope Is that somehow, somewhere in the Great Beyond the late Frank Maloney may get the word that the President has made this request and that the fin al word may come that it is ap proved. Frank Maloney lived and breathed this parkway idea for a matter of years. Others helped with legislation in Congress and also In the Tennessee legislature to clear the track for this great project, which promises to be as attractive to tourists as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Itself, but It was Mr. Maloney who was the real driving force behind the plan. He had a double-barrelled idea for the parkway's instruction. He felt that from the vantage point of a highway removed some what from the park Itself the towering peaks of the Smokies would afford a grandeur of scene not now accessible to the aver age automobile-bound tourist. He also felt that such a parkway as he had projected would serve as a deterrent to the encroachment upon the edges of the park itself of inappropriate or offensive man made construction. General Maloney envisioned the area be tween the parkway and the park Itself as a sort of buffer strip for the tatter's p-otection." While we're on the subject, we can't think of a more appropriate name for this new scenic asset, when it is completed, than Maloney Parkway. General Maloney would not have consid ered that a matter of any im portance, but to those of us who were familiar with his long cru sade nothing would seem more appropriate. ?The Knoxville Journal. New Plant The furniture-making Unagus ta Manufacturing Company at Hazelwood in Haywood County and its employes suffered a severe blow in a $790,000 fire last No vember SO. Today, the company breaks ground for a plant to replace the one lost In the fire. R. L. Prevost, company presi dent. envisions a modern $?00. 000 unit. ?< The burned-out unit represent ed about M per cent of produc tion capacity. Already around $00 of the company's employes are back to work. The people of the Hasehrood area rejoice in the start of re construction. for the plant plays an important role in the economic life of the community. The company deserves com mendation for the dispatch wtth which it has developed rebuilding plAs. for Its fklth m the fBtufe, and for its interest in the welfare of its employes. ?Artevme Cittern. Highland Flings . . By BOB CONWAY Does It really matter whether one car can go a little faster than another one? Is ft important that one person Is a better ? or luckier? driver than another person? Are a few thrills gathered from traveling at high speed worth a human life or serious Injury? To most people, the drst two questions are not Important and tl\e answer to the third is simple. However, to a few young people?? In the Waytiesville area and throughout the nation?the per formance of a car at high speed is a matter to be determined on the highway. To avert any further tragedies ?either to participants or others on the highway.? "drag racing" should be brought to an absolute halt in this area. But it will take the efforts of everyone concerned?both young people and their parents; law-en forcement officers can't do the job alone. Driving on the highway today, even under ordinarv conditions, is risky enough, but racing is more dangerous many times over. It's a simple fact, but an ines capable one: Racing on a race track is a sport; on a public road way it's apt to be suicide, tr Sign on Wall Street; "Paint Save's More Than It Coot." A rood grammar book also eaves more than It easts. Although there's still a lot of cold weather ahead, signs of spring already are appearing in these parts. The grass on the courthouse lawn has started to - turn, green; forsythia (also called "yellow bell") is in bloom, and willow trees are already showing buds. So far, however, nobody has called in to report the "first rob in" of the year. o Grapefruit; Citrus with built in bsckAre. o Monday we received this letter from Mrs. Myrtle Little of Hazel wood: * "What you said about the grounds of the neyv Haywood County library is certainly appro priate. I passed there a few days ago. "I have often wondered when a particular site or bulMttig is modernized, tfie first thing done is to destroy all the trees or shrub bery surrounding it. "A building can go up in a few weeks, but trees take years." Very well put, Mrs. Little. For every man who has a wife who doesnt understand him. there are five others who have wives who understand them too well. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hardin of Clyde (she's the former Lois Mor gan) have the same birthday: January 7. o _ The Waynesvllle Girl Seouts are to be commended for the ex cellence of their fiesta last Satur day, which proved to be a very colorful affair. Too many pro grams are dull and unoriginal, hut not that one. Incidentally, if the Girl Scouts had turned their backs long enough, we might have been tempted to sneak off with one of their travel posters. A friend reminded us that Mon day offered about everything in the way of weather conditions you could expect to find at this time of year. During the day and night, he says, we had (1) rain, (2) sleet, (3) snow, (4) wind, (5) bright sun shine, (6) bright moonshine (the kind that comes from a full moon ?not the bottled variety), and (7) an electrical storm.

It'* the date on the calendar, the dateline on this newspaper and the promising bits of color that show us Mother Nature is on Jhe Job, as usual. Very few of us give more than a passing thought to the eirtbrgence of the seasons, al though the four Important sequences have gone on for centuries, and each has held its own special position of importance. We Just take it for granted that Spring follows Winter and in turn is followed by Summer, Fall and then Winter again. Around and around we go and we adjust ourselves to the eternal revolution. Wonder what we'd do, or think, if some time the seasons went skit tering off their orbit knd flew in any old way. We'd sure be in an awful mess with a bunch of fllmy, gossamer duds all ready for the Easter parade only to And Winter had made a return trip for a three months' stay. Fashion designers can pull the feminine sex in any direction: the stock market can play havoc with man's Intentions: elections can lift candidates to glory or drop them into oblivion. But all the money in the world can neither influence or bribe Mother Nature to move out of her routine. Oh. yes, she can Juggle things up a bll but she always manages to catch the brass ring as she goes merrily around on her annual merry-go-round performances according to schedule. When you're angry, the words you didn't say Can never have a chance to richochet. While listening to a radio program recently, we were deHghted to hear a very complimentary comment that was highly intermting to Asheville and her neighbors. The program was "At Sardt'S" where interviews were being held with prominent guests.(One of these was an actress who had co-starred with Grace Kelly in the filmjfig of "The Swan" which took place at Blltmore Estate and Lake Junalus ka. This actress went on to say that she had never seen anything so lovely as Biltmore and the surrounding country and, as stie ex pressed it, the beauty was "out of this world". She coriclu&d by saying that when the company returned to Hollywood for interiors, it cost a million and a half dollars for decorations that were In Mting beauty for the exteriors taken In Asheville. So when we are fortunate enough to see this picture on the screen, we will doublly appreciate its loveliness. One of the reasons some people do not like the radio la be cause It Interferes with hearing themselves talk. Little Mary had company. Little Johnny had come oVer to spend the afternoon and the two children were enjoying themselves in the yard. As a consequence the Ladies' Circle had a most peaceful and del' itful meeting, and even the refreshments were given full measure ./ pleasure with no interfering incident. Then just as the ladies were about to leave and Mrs. Bebee was telling Mrs. Abee how much she had enjoyed the afternoon, angry voices rose from the yard and the door suddenly burst open to catapult the two chil dren into the midst of the assembled ladies. Little Mary got in hers flrat: "Mommie," khe stormed, "didn't you say Mrs. Bebee must have eyes like a cat because she could see everything even at night"? "She did not," Little Johnny hotly contradicted, "she said when Mrs. Bebee sang it sounded like a cat ydwllng at night." Like the gentle rain that falleth from the Heavens is the friendly pi tasui e of a hand in time of sorrow. j Looking Back Over The Years 20 YEARS AGO Miss Catherine Aiford of Ra leigh is married to Fred J.
