I lbink the time ;s past wherv-the prin nnalification for public leader ship will be a loud voice and a pair of ready fists. j Appearing before the regional commission of the PWA, Governor Ehringhaus, Senators Bailey and Rey nolds, and other prominent North Carolinians, on Tuesday of this week, in Baltimore, presented North Caro lina's plan for the Park to Park Highway, which is to be bnilt by tho Lederal government, connecting th* Shenandoah and Great Smoky Moon tains National Paries. The Carolinians contended that it a scenic road is to be constructed, that it shonld be such in fact as well as in name, and proved before the commission that no finer scenic high way can be constructed in Eastern America than the ronte proposed by North Carolina, which contemplate* entering the State at Low Gap, com ing down the mountains, topping the Balsam Range near the head of Pigeon River, and proceeding across thp summit of the Balsams, to Bal sam Gap, near the Jackson and Hay wood lines, and thence circling Jones' Knob, following generally the rout<? of the Hood road, to Soco Gap. News reports from Baltimore ar.? to the effect that, while the commis sion did not commit itself as to what route it will decide upon, the members were greatly impressed with the pre sentation by the North Carolinians, and by the word painting of the pic ture of this master scenic route, which will circle the county line be tween Jackson and Haywood coun ties for many miles, atop the mighty Balsam range. Jackson oounty is particularly in terested in this proposed route, as the greatest scenic part of it will bo in this county, and as it will assure, what was originally contemplated, that the Plott Balsam range w?U-fee included in the park, and Balsam Gap will become the principal entrance thereto, jutting the park, far out into this State, and placing the main en trance along side" the Main Street of North Carolina, Highway No. 10. In connection with the scenic route proposal, The Greensboro Daily News of yesterday carried the following pertinent editorial : "The Tcnneeaoeanfi have a rout*-, end North Carolina has & route, tor th-o Great Rmokios-Shenandoah parks road; and PWA, which furnishes the money, makes choice, after hearing ' from its advisers amongst the federal landscape architects and engineers. Ours is "the greatest scenic route in America," says Governor Ehring hans for the North Carolina delega tion, and the others "Amen I" this. Highway Commissioner Jeffress say-", "You can't find its equal." If they can get around that, in any sort of judicial attitude and good | sense, let 'era. If this route will not make the most superb scenic high way in the United States, it is for disputants to show where that ronto could be found. It is most highly pertinent to the business of locating the road. North Carolina has gone to a lot of care and trouble to plan the route. Our officials have done their duty well, up to the point of presenting th. merits of their proposal, and there remains but to stay with it as lonp as necessary. Here the rceffonsibifity devolve, upon Washington. HAILS 00 DESPITE WEATHER Despite the severe cold weather <>l the first part of last week, and the heaviest snow of recent years, that fell Thursday morning, all mails in this county arrived and left the post offices practically on time. With ar> eight inch snow on the ground, tho mail from Cashier's Valley, which route serves a large part of Jackson county, and Western Carolina Teach ers College, arrived in Sylva only ten minutes behind schedule tim-?, and left for Cashier's within 12 to 15 minutes after the arrival of the mail train from AeheviDe. 1 CLUB MEETS TODAY The Twentieth Centary Club is meeting this afternoon at the home of Mrs. Dan Moore, on Court land Heights.
