Governor-Elect McLean in the' Party; All Express Wonder at Unrivalled Scenery ' A meeting of the members of the park committee which visited the Grandfaother mountain and Linvflle river sections last week was planned for last night in Raleigh. This is the first meeting of the committee since the trip through Lenoir and this section was made. The commit tee plans to make an active campaign to secure the location of the na tional park for this part of the State. Members of Congress from this State are also to be prevailed upon to give active aid at one?. It is understood that the national . park committee will submit its re-' port, through the secretary of the in terior, Dr. Hubert Work, at the con vening of Congress in December. . This national committee visited Le noir last summer. " . . v . Three states are making strong bids for the park, namely, Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. ' It is said that the Stony Man mountain region of Virvinia is being given careful consideration by the national park committee, due to the fact that that the region contains ma'ny of the natural features sought and because it is within easy reach of the large centers of population in the North and East. The State committee, accompanied by Gov.-elect McLean and a number" , ' of other State officials and citizens, -passed through here Tuesday of last week for a two days' trip through, Grandfather mountain and Linville ' ' river sections. The.entire party were . the guests of A. M. Kistfler of Mor- ganton, member of the State high way commission. !' Leaving Lenoir Tuesday morning, , the first stop was made at Blowing ' Rock. From there to Linville over ; the Yonahlossee and then down Lin ville river to Linville Falls, t the MacRae place in Grandmother Gap " the party went out a Short way on " the Grandfather mountain, but did ' not make the trip to the top. At Linville Falls they visited the big and " little falls and then made the trip to. Bridge water over the old Linville Mountain road. This road is a mere trail cleaned out sufficiently for cars. , The narrow road leads along the crest of the mountain. It was Goy.- -elect McLean's first trip over this road or in this section. His .eyes were opened in amazement, he said, at the panoramic vistas of surpassing" magnificence - thajb unfolded before him as he passed along this route. He was especially impressed with the ' variedness of the scenery, Changing as it often did from rugged peaks to smooth slopes, and from rolling pla teau land to deep, rugged, roaring gorges, i As the motorcade , passed through the country from Blowing Rock over tfhe Yonahlossee road to Linville City, to Linville Falls', and' v down the long ridge of Linville" mountain, the wonder of every mem- ber of the party grew and many dt I clared that they did not know that ' . western North Carolina had such - -scenery. And to crown it all, the last stop was made at what Gov.-elect ' McLean declared as perhaps the jjost remarkable view of all. The party " climbed to the summit off Pinnacle and before the eyes of the visitors was spread out a panorama com pletely perfect. Water and sky and mountain Mended together into a harmonious masterpiece of beauty. From the top of Pinnacle themem- bers of the party could see Linville Gorge on one side and Lake James ' ' on the other. In the distance Table Rock mountain .loomed up in ragged -profile, while the walls of : the lin ville Gorge were in sharp centrast to the smoothness and mother-like . aspects of the gently sloping hillsides -that surround Lake James. "One of. the many wonders pointed out to the party was Shortoff mountain, upon l the top of which is said to be a two- , . acre lake.
