■Four Imiulfccl and forty milcii
wasL of Manloo a town of four
thousand people ncslles at the font
of the Great Smoky Mountains.
For nenuliie frlcndllnc.ss and hos
pitality, they are real rivals in this
town of iWayncsvllle, of the pcojjle
of .the Coa-stland who arc famed the
country over for their good cheer.
As Mantco did three years ago,
the town of Waynesvlllo this year
was host to the North Carolina
■Pros.s Association. It wa.s the
writer’s privilege to attend both.
And It mu-st bo said that nowhere
has greater hospitality and fiicnd-
llncss been extended than In this
great mountain region of North
Carolina.
The incmbcrs of the prass had a
good time In iWayncsvllle. The
most reasonable rales for meats,
about 50 cents each for the bc.st,
and hotel rooms at $1.50 a day with
bath were provided. Visitors were
given ticket books that gave them
free drinks, free cigars, free shows
free aecc.ss to the golf club, free
admission to the moving picture
J shows, free beer and other things,
S as well las reduced prices on gas and
» oils at the filling statioas.

County, •they must reap their har

to their scenic attractions. Tliey,
like the people of Dare, will make
more money each year as this great
badness grows In volume. Within
a few miles, the great Smoky
Mountains begin to spAad out ov
er North Carolina and Tenneesce,
and some of the peaks tower to a
height of more than 0,000 feet.
Splendid roads are being built, and
facilities provided for campers and
tourists. . !
And In keeping with the enter
prise of Waynesvlllo people, they
had Arno B. Ca.mmerer, Director
of the National Park Service pre-
fcnt to tell the editors about the
Circat Smoky Mountains National
Park. In his address, Mr. Cam-
mcrer said:
“That the sum of one half mil
lion dollars Is yet ncedctl to com
plete the land acqulstltlon program
in the Great S.aioky Mountains
National Park.
“1 am not willing to recommend
the complete cstalilishmcnt of the

427,000 acres has been achieved. Wc
Itave in hand 393,000 acres, but goml
faith compels us to abide by the
original agr-'i’ment," he said. Mr.
Cammerer added Uial he was con
fident the money would be obtained
through cooperation of all friends
of tho park and members of Con
gress from North Carolina and
Tennessee.

The increase Is remarkable in view i
of the fact that, this season as usual \

Mr. Moore believe.', the Govern

the deposits, and likewise some of
the gain Is due to the bonus, al-
Iho be believes very few recipients
of the bonus are pulling their
money on savings deposits.
And It Is no doubt a fact mat

Director P. B. Murphy of the

erosion projects in North Carolina
was a- Mantco Wcdnesd.iy, after
luspecllng the camijs on the Dare
County Coast, and stated that
plans were being made to demobilize
Camp Eustis near Newport News,
tfa., and most of the men would be
brought to North Carolina.
The Camp at Little Eustis on
Hoanokc Island is to bc^cnlargcd.
Sonic of the men will be sutlontxl
here, others added to the forces on
the toutli banks, a camp establish
ed nt Manns Harbor, and some of
the men placed in Currituck Coun-
ly.
Announcement has 'been made
that an allotment of $37£,000 has
been nivdc for the continuation of
the work. A million dollars in all
will bo .spent on this great project

■It is the mast romantic and has
the most Intimate scenery of all the
parks. This area will bo a glory
and a credit to North Carolina and
Tonnasscc for all lime and it will
be a zourco of locr.itlvc revenue."
In outlining the development of
‘Park he said, the plans of the Park
Service would Include lodges, cab
ins, dining rooms, roads and trails,
with tho eastern halt of the great
wilderness area of the park un-
marred by roadways.
In describing the location of the
park, he stated that It lies midway
between some of the most popul
ous centers of the Atlantic coast
and tho Mississippi, the Great
Lakes and the Ctulf of Mexico.
“Seekers of virgin wilderness,” ho
said, "need not trek across the con
tinent in quest of their heart’s de

When questioned about the work
the WPA camps had done toward
taking the trunslonts off the road.
Director Murphy .stated that there
wore actually more men on the road
In the bcom days of 1920 than at

The transients were originally
paid 90 cents a week, and tliclr pay
has been increased to $20 a month
