Lindbergh made it from New York
to Paris in less time than it used 10
take to negotiate the journey from
Sylva to Asheville. All the world is
a small neighborhood.
Columbus discovered America four
hundred and thirty five years ago.
Lindbergh discovered Europe last
week.
Everybody from Knoxvillc to Au
gusta is anxious for the completion
ol' Highway 106. It has been promised
to the people. Yet the six miles from
Cashier's Valley to the South Caro
lina line has not been placed on tin
map and taken over for maintenance.
Cutting a big slice off the insur
ance tax of Sylva property owners
will be a large saving to the people
of the town. A re rating will be asked,
and confidently expected, when the
new fire fighting equipment is ready
for use, and a voluntary fire depart
ment organized properly.
The opinion is officially expressed
in Washington), that a special session
of Congress is unnecessary for t he
relief of the flood sufferers in the
Mississippi Valley. It seems that no
matter how hard he may be hit -or
what hit him, the fanner needs no
relief. < . <??

The Portland Cement Association
ha9 requested photographs and an ar
ticle on Sylva's beautiful concrete
streets to be used in a booklet being
produced for distribution throughout
the United States.
Of course the primary object of the
Association is to advertise the ad -
vantages of concrete paving ami the
u-e of Portland cement in paving
streets and roads. At the same time
a great deal of extensive and valua
ble advertising will fall the lot of the
town of Sylva as a result of the pav
ing program just completed, and the
circulation) of the Cement Associa
tion's Hterature. At the same time,
the advertising will not cost the town
or any organization of it one cent, as
the Portland Cement Association pa\'3
for the. pictures and publishes and
circulates the booklet.
Again it is proved that when peo
ple begin to progress and bring their
communities up to modern standards,
the world sets up and takes notice,
the world sits Up and takes notice,
SMOKY MOUNTAIN SPECIAL
For the first time in history, the
Southern Railway Company is inaug
urating a real passenger train ser
vice on the Murphy Division, effect
ive May 29th.
The Southern officials are author
ity for the statement that there will
be new coaches, )<ew engines, and a
faster schedule on the new trains
from Asheville to Murphy, an^ the
morning trains, both East and West,
will be through trains, stopping at
only the more important towns along
the route, including Sylva. These
trains will be named "The Smoky
Mountain^ Special," and will make
connection in Asheville with all
trains South and East, eliminating
the present loi^ waits in Asheville.
The aferrtoon- trains will stopatpall
stations, and will also make /better
connections in Asheville, avtnding
the all night stopover in Asheville,
as at present is necessitated.
The people of the territory served
by this line are delighted af the great
ly improved passenger service. It is
something for which they have wish
ed for the past quarter century.
They feel that, coupled with the
splendid state highways in this re
gion, the Southern's move will great
ly benefit the fast growing towns
along the Murphy route.
Agriculture is developing, indus
tries are growing, the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park is expected
to> increase manyfold the important
tourist trade, .and to greatly lengthen
the tourist season; and the improved
passenger service will strengthen the
whole commercial and soeial fabric
that the people are so assidiously
building in the mountain country.
CHANGING A NUMBER
Originally State Highway No. 286
extended trom Bryson City, through
Franklin to the Georgia line. Then
State Highway 285 was paved frou
Dillsboro to Franklin anjd 286 from
Franklin to the state line. Number
286 turning off at Franklin and go
ig to Bryson City was confusing to
tourists coming through from (ho
South instead of extending on thrj
across the Cowee gap and connecting
No. 10 at Dillsboro.
The Franklin; Press is authority
tor the statement that the state
highway commission has changed the
?lumbers; Higway 285 now cntending
from Dillsboro to the Georgia line,
and 286 being the highway from
Franklin to Bryson City.
This move on the part of the high
way commission will remove the con
fusion that is causey tourists, and,
at the same time, it is unmberiiip the
highways as they logically and geog
raphically should be numbered. 285
is now a concrete road all the way
from its junction with No. 10, at
Dillsboro, to the Georgia line. The
renumbering of these roai^s, gives
Jackson conntv another through
highway that starts somewhere and
goes .somewhere, affording a great
highway to Atlanta and the South
coming into this county.
Highway 106 must be extended to
the South Carolina line and improved
all the way from Sylva to the state
line. Hero is the thir,] of the great
trunk-line highways leading directly
into Sylva.
