The action, following a meeting in iVaynesville last week, was precipi tated by reports from Washington to the effect that ai* alternate route, to Soco Gap from Bull's Gap was being considered. If was feared by the peo ple of the towns is the counties af t'ected that tho enliro stretch of the road through 'the Pisgnh juitd Balsams section, ?s contemplated in the origin al plan approved by Secretary lekes, would be left off. Th? committee, winch secured the backing ot' the Highway Commission and Governor Hoey, mged that the or iginal route as planned be adhered to, that teo? million dollars be appro priated annually for the loud until it J is completed, that plats of the remain ing links to Soco (lap bo prepared so' that they will be ready for letting this year and next, tfcnt the next pro ject to be let bo betweon Bnlsom Gap t o Wagon Road Gap. The commtttco took mo action re garding the controversy that ha.; arisen over the location of the Park way from Soco Gap to the Park. The Cherokee Indians, through their Tnh al Council, huve several times voted do w u proposals t'o.r the construction; of the road down Soco to Cherokee The last time the proposal was de feated by the Eastern Band ot Chero kees, it was pointed out that the Parkway is in reality an enlongated park,requiriiig ICO acres of land to the mile, 4e he administered park service ip, tho same w? -Sark" aro administered. It will uat be a public tughway, lees can be charged, and Hi# figured that, the road wil' pay for itself. The government a-ked of the In diaup that they sell, or exchange i'or other lands, in fee simple, an 800 foot strip from Blue Wing to Cherokee. Xo building, j>ole line or structtir" would be permitted to be erected upon the easement lands, except with the consent of the Park Service. No ron>\ or private driveway would be a Lowe ' | to intersect tl*e Parkway, and lHA' signs or billboards would be aliofye<\j erected.

Tht* park Service, it was pointed out, feontem plates leading concc3nons loi: stations and the like. t The Indians, on Soco, especially, are said to l?e hostile to the idea of] relinquishing any hinds O'' rights in their lands. The people in this county have largely sided with the CheKnkces in the mttcr, and are not npw urging that the Parkway go down Soco. They only insist that the original rouie to Soco Gap be adhered to. .

TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker StObkbzidge) JOBS .... and education Tito principal reason why so many young people Hud ii ^ard to ?,et jobs when they get out of schooi is that thioy have not been tnughl hew to do the things for which business m:d industry arc willing to pay. 'I hat n my own summary of the report o l' Iiichaid 11. Brown, deputy udnuUis'ra tor of the National Youth Adminisiva tion. It i? just another linger-post point ing toward a complete revampincr of our whole educational \\\? have been training boys and girls to look down upon the u?| wo.x of tho world, and to regard llu; ?? vvhi'.e-eo' lar" occupations ns the only one. worth going into. Then timi't "nousr.) white collar jobs to go around. I have long believed that lor the vast ncajority iin> ordinary schn.1 can do nothing heyond, sav, the six\li grade. At eleven or twelve most boys an|d girls have go: all the formal edu cation thoy will ever be abh: :o use. A school system which would take them at that fge and leach them Uie fundamentals of a trade or handicraft | would at- least enable Ihi'm to fac^ he realities of life and not bo ashamed to do work at which they nu ?nt c:<'t their hands dirty. Those who have i. in them to rise, will rise anyway. DRAKE .... marriage money To the English-spcakinc; word "Frankie" Drake is one of tne heroic figures of all time, lie mado the Eng land of i^uueu Elizabeth tho great sea-power, and was the first English man to sail around the world, the feat which won him kuightnood at the hands of the Queen. Drake reported that ho had careen ed his ship, tue "(iolden Hind,'' in a convenient harbor ou the Pacific Coast, and had set up a tablet elaim iug the land as ''New Albion'* in 'tne name of Queen Elizabeth. That was in 1579, and historians years agfc decided that ? small bay jiorthwestof tfee Golden Gate msst hrf*? been place. It is on all the m*pa <H Cali fornia as "Drake's Bay'*. Bwt a few weoks ngo, a young Ouliforman, Beryle Shinu, wrote ;i new chapter of hiatoiy. Stopping at San Quentin Point to change a lire, he .found Drake's brass plate, half buried under a rock, whore it had been for nearly 3T>8 years. It is of little cons. oqr.enee, of course, whether 4' Frankie*' Drake went through the Golden Ga'ie, <n* not; though just now when the great Golden Gate bridge has been opened for traf fic, there is a romantic thrill in visualizing , the towering "Golden ? Hind" sailing tlirough that famous passage. Hut it was worth $2000 in | ftard cash to young Mr. Shinn, who had never heard of Sir Francis Drake. I Tfcc award wlueb the California His- j torieal Society gave him for finding the plate enabled him to got marri'd. That ia-important. INDIANS .... increasing We nre accustomed to think of the j Anterican Indians as-- a "vanushing j race," but the latest report of the i Commissioner for Indian Affairs j indicates that they are, on the con-! trary, increasing moie rapidly than i any other class of Americans. Last year there were 3500 more birth3 thaa death among tfie 332,397 recognized Indians in the United States. The, total number of Indians recorded iu' fhe 1930 Onsns, is nearly 90,000 mort than were counted in 1920, and three times the number of Indians estimated by the Indian Office 'n 1907. j Nobody knows how large the Indian population of America was before Co lumbus arrived, but 't probably was not as many as a million, the best authorities hold. The white settlers did not "exterminate" the Indians, by any means. Probably more died in the early days from the new diseas es which the white man brought than in all of our Indian "wars" Measles alone k'lled moro than half of tke New England Luli ans i u the 1 GOO'S. Thone filie fc>mbabl}y millions of Americans who have ;,n Indian stift'n in their blood, of which many ar? proud. Viee-Pies'dent Charles Curtis and Will Rogers, the actor-hum?rist? boasted of their Indian pedigree. Pnea 'dent Franklin Pierce's brother mar ried a lialf-brcod Indian girl, and the second Mm; WoodfbfaJWnJson claims ' descent; from Pocahontas, ijjp Indian " Pr'iiceasH who saved the fife ol Captain John Smith and them married j John Rolfe. On the wliole, it seems to me, the Indians havs not. fared so badly. WAB .... against trad'tloo?
