OUR BEST THANKS The management wishes to thank the club members, one and all, for their assistance in making this cam !>aign the success it has proven to be.

Gregg, of the National Park Commission and Mr. Harrison, engirtee rof theUnited States Geolog ical Survey, have just returned from a visit to the Mt. Guyot area, with Jim Bradley, guide, where they have been studying the situation with a view to its desirability as a national park situation and expressed them selves as being delighted with it, as it presents not only every feature that is to be found elsewhere; but con , ' > A ? ? tains no wftter power, or other poten tialities that are capable of commer cial development. Mr. Gregg has fornnely been in the Mt. Le Com to country. A trail, is mow under construction to Hughes' idge, being built by the people ol yson City, where Mr. Gregg is i/iving a lookout tower erected. Members of the park commission id geological survey are now in the liugman's Dome area with Kelly E. ennett and W. W. Wiggins, of the Bryson City Chamber of\ Commerce. A bridle trail to this peak is beiiitr Vonstructed and a look-out tower i.* also being erected there. ,. The proposed park contains 652 square miles, 230 sq. miles of which is in Tennessee and 332 in North Carolina. The commission has definitely de cided upon the location in the Smok ies, around Clingman's Dome, Guyot .ind Coteni, for the national park, uid the matter is now before the ^tate commission to make arrange ments for the purchase of the neces sary land for government develop ment into park purposes. Mr. Mark Squires and Mr. A. ,M. Kistlcr, of the state Park Commis sion arc now in Bryson City, on business concerning the state's in terest in the park. ^ o COMMISSIONERS APPROVE J GLENVILLE SCHOOL LOAN The county commissioners, at theiju regular meeting Monday, approved the application for a loan of $40,000. 00, from state funds, for the con struction of a cnew building for tin Grlenville Consolidated High School, with reservations. The board of ed ucation had already approved the the road to widen it and straighten out the curves. ? Not only is this road an important link in No. 28; but it connects tlu upper end of Jockson county witl. Macon county, opens up the travel to North Georgia and Sout/f Caro lina points, and is the entrance to Whiteside Mountain, to which in creasingly large numbers of peopk plan and the application for the loan, and the county commissioners gave it their approval, and signed the ap plication for the loan, with the pro vision that Cashiers, Hamburg, part f Mountain, and any other district interested in the high school, shall vote a special school tax foij its main tenance. Most of the territory is al ready in special tax districts, and for this reason, and because the need of '? 1 ? the high school is great and is ap preciated by the people in that part of the county, it is said, by people from there, who were here, Monday, in the interest of the school, that there will be little difficulty in vot ing the tax and thus meeting the re quirements of the county commission ers. Hence it is generally understood that the new central high school at Glenville, for the accommodation oi the children of a great section of the county, is assured. WILSON ASSUMES DUTIES AS SUPERINTENDENT Mr. John N. Wilson, of Cullowhee, has assumed his dtuies as county superintendent of jmblic instruction, to which office lie was elected two months ago, relieving f Mr. 0. S. Dillard, who goes to Mndisoa county in the same capacity.

He is a native of the county, and has kept in touch with county affairs, especially as regards the school mat ters, and is, therefore, fitted to carry on~the work, without a hitch.

'WOMAN'S SPHERE HAS NOT CHANGED" SATS MBS. McKEE Cullowhee, Jaly 9.? "Woman's / v N, sphere has never changed and will never change. Her chief interest is, and always will (be, the home," de clared Mrs. E. L. McKee, President of the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs, before the Commun ity Life Club of Culiowliee Thursday afternoon. t "Woman's sphere has merely been extended and enlarged. Better education has served to awak en her interest in the home. It has t % ^ made her realize more than ever the necessity of keeping a home beauti ful and sanitary. However she has come to know that the health of her children depends not only on her own home but on the condition of her neighbors' homes. The community thus becomes an extension of the home." Likewise, the school is an ex tension of the home. In order to accomplish projects arising from their widened interests, women have learned the value of V teamwork. It is this teamwork that the Federation of Women's Clubs represents. "Three hundred Clubs have linked themselves together the better to know, to do, to be," de clared the speaks. Federatingr\the women's, clubs of the State /has meant "binding together an army of women who are willing to do the things that are to be done." Among the things that are to be done is the establishment of "homes where children are well-born and happy, good schools where high standards of work and recreation prevail artd communities where all work together for public good." Mrs. McKec brought greetings from the Federation, and an invitation to the Club to affiliate. Several vocal solos rendered by Superintendent A. W. Honeycutt of HeadersonviHc completed tho program- They are as follows; Whispering Hope, I Love You Truly, Annie Laurie, At Dawn ing, By the Waters of Minnetonka. Mrs. G. B. Arnold accompanied him at the piano. \ COUNTY BUYS RAVENEL ROAD Jackson, through its Highway Com mission, lias ?? bought the Ravenel Turnpike from S. P. Ravenel, and lias turned it over to the State for maintenance and to become a part of Highway No. 28. The purchase price was $5000.00 and the road is 8 1-2 miles in length, connecting Cashier's Valley with Highlands. It was built years ago by the Ravenels at a cost of $6000.00, when labor could be had at 65c. a day. - - The toll > gate, that has stood for wars, has been removed, and the road is now open to the public for free travel. " i r . It is Understood that the state highway commission will immediate ly put a large maintenance force on journey each year. It is understood that negotiations are now under way for Jackson coun ty, Macon county and the people of Glenville, Cashiers Valley and High lands, to do some construction work on the road from the Ravenel Pike to Whiteside, enabling the people to drive their cars to the camp on top of Whiteside. The cost of such a road will be negligible, and it is esti mated that, with the free labor that the people of that region will, no doubt, be glad to contribute, the cost to Jackson and Macon county road officials will be under $300.00. The purchase of the Ravenel road and the construction of. the short distance from it to the top of White side will open up to tourist and local motorists perhaps the greatest single mountain, trip in Eastern America, as they can drive their cars to the top of the highest precipice in the Ap palachian system, from which they can view the limitless stretches through South Carolina and Georgia to the sea. BIO TOURIST BUSINESS OPENS The resort section of upper Jack son county, including High Hampton, Lake Fairfield and other resorts, are beginning the season with the big gest tourist business in history. With the season just beginning, the tourists are filling that part of the county, and are taxing- the resorts to their capacity to house and feed them. PLEASE DON'T It was never the inteatittt of the management of this paper when the Salesmanship Club was inangrated, for any of the candidates to invest any of their own money in the campaign. Our idea was( to largely increase the circulation of the Jackson Coun ty Jouqial throughout this eoun ty and the adjoining counties, thus increasing the usefulness of this paper to the town, the county, and the region that it serves; to do this through.the efforts ofthe people who wiafesd to enter the campaign, and to pay them for their efforts is prizes and commissions. The friendy competition for the Grand Capital Prize, the Or?r* land Sedan," should be a trial of salesmanship, and not a ques tion of who can invest the moaT in cash in the campaign. The campaign has been so?? ranged, as regards rules and pagF ulations, to discourage, as te as is possible,plunging with per sonal funds. While every vote that goes into the ballot accompained with the coi amount of money for subscrip tions must and will be counted by the judges, I wish to go record as being opposed to can didates using their personal funds in backing up their efforts and to warn each of them that if they do so they do it against the advice and . wishes of the publisher of this paper. DAN TOMPKINS, Editor, Jackson County Journal.
