Welcome and Appreciation TfHE opening of Cliffside Lake marks the suc . cessful completion of a recreational area that is built for all time. A far-seeing policy has prompted the permanent landscaping and building . that have been achieved by skillful planning and painstaking craftsmanship., This Summer Souvenir, edition of The Frank lin Press and The Highlands Maconian celebrates this significant event by presenting a partial pic ture of resources and attractions of Macon county, some of which are only in the beginning of their development. The largest single enterprise operat ing, in the county is the Nantahala National For est, administered by the United States Forest Ser vice, 'with headquarters in Fanklin, the county seat. Under the able administration of Charles Meli char, supervisor since August of last year, and his assistants, this project has been pushed through to completion in less than record time. This has been accomplished by the cooperation of every worker who contributed his share in the construc tion. To Mrs. Melichar this newspaper expresses ap preciation for her able help in the preparation of this issue of the newspaper. To the Chambers of Commerce of Highlands and Franklin both hosts and guests are indebted for the refreshment feature of the celebration. A hearty welcome is extended to every visitor with an invitation to come again. Vacation Land TPHE need for a vacation has become one of the tenets of the gospel of a more abundant life. The conservation of our . forests and wild life has behind it the purpose- of human conservation. In a project like the Cliffside Lake Recreation area, the government which is composed of you and us and the other fellow is making available for our better living the health-giving beauty that belongs to us all. That man's intelligence can bring within the reach of all these rare gifts of nature is one of the marvels of the times in which we live. In other days this mountain top was inacces sible. Today with modern engineering and en lightened ideas of government, this wilderness is transformed into a paradise with an open path for the Ford and the Packard alike free to all from everywhere with no restriction save that of good manners. In other days a playground like this would have been developed for the privileged by the power of individual enterprise for the benefit of the few. Now, there are areas like this that are a common enterprise, built with the capital that every citizen has invested in our government, for the benefit and enjoyment of all. The labor that has created this park for the people has been that of young men and older men, working, through the government agencies of the Forest Service, the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works x Progress Administration all be-. longing to divisions of a great peace army; work ing not under compulsion, but as partners in a glorious enterprise. Maeterlinck has said that when people N are happy together something beautiful' is created that can never die. In welcoming our visitors today we wish to express the hope that another link in a chain of happiness has been wrought that will bring blessing to thousands ' through the years ahead. Commonplace (By request, the following editorial is reprinted from the Febru ary 25, 1932, issue of The Frankli n Press.) , "THE other day a rnan came into the office of The Press, transacted his business, chatted a moment and went on his way. Nothing remark-, able about that. He was tall, not very tall, he seemed taller than he ' was. His hair was grey, back straight and shoulders , square. , Clear blue eyes held the eyes of his listener in a frank, direct gaze.

S. Forest Photo Section of Swimming Pool of a face sobered by responsibility and strengthen ed by toil. Nothing remarkable about that. - This man had just won a battle. The circum stances of existence had put obstacles in his way that very-nearly equaled his powers to overcome them. Something worth while that, had cost him years of labor was about to be lost. He had saved it. The doing of it makes news that any Editor would like to print but, awed by the revelation of Divine Will in the private lives of men, he dares not. Nothing remarkable. Nothing unusual. Men have struggled and suffered in the past. Some feel the strain of strife more keenly now than ever his pioneer fore-father who( whetted his wits and his axe against the grindstone of adversity. But, however keen the whip or heavy the load there s a natural force that toughens the hide and strength ens the back, a power that grows greater with need and weaker in disuse. Weakens but never dies. And so it is with nations. Individual accept ance of responsibility, individual resourcefulness and determination bring victory over private prob lems. Community diifficulties become private peril. Private success in the composite brings the glory of community achievement. Strength conies from con flict and victory from defeat. But whether the day's fight be won or lost the God-given privilege of struggle can be denied to no man. God's ulti mate destiny may be hidden from our short sighted eyes but we know that here and now ve have the precious privilege of strife, the bounden duty to Igve 'our neighbor and the glory of the knowledge that our talents are being put to strenuous use on the resources that we have at hand. We can live and fight our best, Die and win a blessed rest What better? J. A. J. Highlands As a Biologist Sees It By DR. E. E. RE1NKE AS HOME-FOLKS do every where, the people born and reared in Western North Caro lina take for granted their sur roundings, overlooking the enor mous advantages that Nature has afforded them. To . the ' visitor, however, . things assume a dif ferent aspect; climate, scene ry, natural resources, and an abundant life all these impose themselves upon him. But to the biologist, that seeker after the ways and means of life, there is something besides all that: a glo rious opportunity for his search es, tor here Nature, in an in land region, has been most gen erous. .Nowhere east of the find a spot richer in vegetation and animal life, though years have been spent looking for one, And Highlands, in the opinion of the writer, is the focal point of this whole area. In this little mountain town and its environs, the naturalist steps out into his own back-yard, so to speak, to find the things he seeks. From Highlands one de scends quickly to places where sub-tropical forms may be found, returning again to the cool moun tain breezes where he may study them. Or, on the wooded peaks around Highlands, one may find plants and animals known com monly only in Maine, Vermont, and Canada. 160 Species of Trees On. the Highlands plateau there have been noted more than 160 different "kinds of trees: shrubs are varied and abundant, many of which are found otherwise only far away in the North. And to those whose interests lie in the lowlier forms, ferns, mosses, mush rooms, and algae, the Highlands area is a . paradise indeed. Many new species have been discovered here. But why talk only about the plants? As I write 1 can- hear on one side the ticking of my watch, an intricate mechanism invented by man) the most curious of all animals. On the other side, over in the lake yonder, I hear the croaking of bullfrogs and the pip ing of tree-toads. Only a little while ago I almost stepped on a land toad as bier as my foot, These animals -m fed upon by the larger and iiercer ones, and they in turn live upon more silent and smaller ones, even down to those of microscopic size. All of which proves that there exists, hereabout, a rich reserve of living things. And man, being the in quisitive creature that he is, wants to study them, if for no other reason than to. know his prospects and to understand better his needs. Thereby, perhaps, he may be able to find a solution of the problem that confronts us all. this business of living, to know scientifically, whence he came and what is be fore him. Museum and Laboratory The Highlands Museum reflects the culture of the mountain peo ple and the resources of the re gion. This year, it is in charge of Dr. Ltland Shanor of the Uni versity of North Carolina. In Highlands, also, is the Sam T. Weyman Laboratory which was founded in honor of a lover of Nature. Today investigator from several universities and colleges are working there and their in vestigations ore proving to be fruitful.
