The one-stop solo flight of young
Douglas Corrigan from New York
;o Dublin is the most spectacular
eat in flying since Lindbergh flew
done to Paris in 1927. It is even
nore amazing than L'ndy's flight,
or it was ma.de in an old plane
vhich by rights should have been
?n the scran-heap long ago, while
.ol. Lindbergh's 'Spirit of St.
-<ouis" was a new machine built
(Specially fof* his attempt to rocs
he Atlantic, and equipped with the
nost modern instruments of that
irne.
1
Young Corrigan's exploit CGE2>lctely
overshadowed the round-tho- !
vorld flight of Howard Hughd.'
"hat was magnificent team-work o<?
)lane builders, engineers and navi;ators.
But Douglas Corrigan did
lis trick single-handed. He serviced
lis own plane?in fact he had built
he engine himself out of parts o8
he two discarded engines. I
To me his flight is an impressive j
lemonstration that the qualities of
ngenuity, resourcefulness, initiative
ind courage which built this naion,
still live in the youth of Amerca.

F&OM SHOT GUN WOUND
With 'the sight of his left oyv

hones of his face shot away, Ri inlaid
Cunningham, 21 year old son
(yf Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Cunningham,
is recovering from a shot gun
wound, yhich is said to have been
sel f-inflicted.
The young man is said to have
taught twoj shells for a 16 gauge
shot nun, and returned to his room
at hit home. At abolt 4:30 Wednesday,
while alione, he is thought t >
have attempted suicide, by enipyting
the load into his face. He was
taken to the C. J. Harris Community
Hospital, and it. is believed that he
has an excellent chance to recover.
ica from abroad and that close to a
hundred million Americans will attend
one exposition or both.
The motor, rail and bus travel
over the highways leading from
Coast to CoOfit will be heavier in the
1MO than pvpr before.
OUIIUUC1 VI ?*wv ? - ?
So will the congestion on the roads
leading to the .great metropolitan
cities of our Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. There will be more people
on the road looking for food and
lodgings than there ever have been,
more trailers and more cars to pull
them.
One certain effect of this enormous
increase intravel is that more
monejr will pass from hand to hand,
and move faster, than in any previous
recant year. And that spells
prosperity. The World's Fairs of
1939 ought to give a great impetus
toeconomic recovery.

will indicate gesso of the directions
in which the world is moving.

(By Dan Tompkins)
Western Carolina Teachers Co lege
yill have & building program,
cf not less than $700 000.00 under
way in the near future, as a result
of the Special Session the General
Assembly, called to meet in the
State Capitol in Raleigh at noon
next Monday, by Governok Iloey, it
is believed in informed circles in
Raleigh and Sylva.
The Governor called the special
session in order that the State
may participate in he huge grants of
I'WA Mopey, in 45j^er ceqf of th"
total cost of erecting beffdings etc.
Tnis is loked upon by his Excellency
as an ui parralled opportunity to ex
panj the State's institutions, while
the Funeral Government, under the
policies cf Mr. Roosevelt and th?
Nejv Leal, is willflg to pay almost
hail the cost. The State can Tmid
now, at enormous saving, abcl at the
same time put many men to work,
and ihus stimulate all liees of boainess;
but before the State's institutions
could . participate, it was
necessary to have the approval of
the General Assemble lore September
1. Hence the call by |G over nor
Iloey for the extraordinary session.
It is conservatively estimated that
around qne minion dollars will be
months that are" just ahead.
Already $200,000.00 has been allotted
for a new training srhool at
Western Carolina Teachers Collage.
In addition, the school is asking for
C517,000.00 for permanent improvements,
yhich will place the building
program there above the $700,000.00
ni aik. A new school building is asfuied
for Cashier's Valley, as are
improvements alt Glenville school.
Other school work may be done; ana
when road and highway, and other
improvements and FWA work are
tpkfji into consideration, it can easily
re seen that the expendinre of
public aoney m Jackson will probably
limb aroTc the million dollar

The present situation is viewed
as the greatest opportunity that has
ever pwcmfaa irelf for the building
