The letter received from Mrs.
Mat'-.ht'ws folhvs:
Mr. W. C. Russ.
Editor Mountaineer,
Waynesville, N. C.
Dear Mr. Kditor:
In amnion. 1 assure, with a great
number of community-minded folk
within the area served by our paper,'
I have lead with much interest the
letter of Mr. C. M. Picus, and your
editorial comment thereon. The idea
is certainly of far-reaching signifi
cance if put into a workable plan of
organization such as suggested by
Mr- Diais' letter. It will require a
"long pull, and null all tofether" k,
perfect sin-h a plan, but once perfect
ed it would go far toward placing
this community in its rightful "Place
in the Sun."
Realizing that the co-operation of
everyone is important, if the sug
gestion is to become a reality, I am
ready at all times to render any pos
sible service.
In this connection, pcriiaps it would
be of interest to yourself, and your
leaders to have a brief resume of the
thing 1 personally, have undertaken
in an ctXr.: to accord this community
its right tul recognition ! v the would
outside.
As my own acquaintance in a per
sonal and business wav is a rather
widely distributed one.' 1 have care
fully chosen a list of a hundred peo
ple in the following sections New
KiiRiainl, Xcvv York. Chicago, Cleve
land, Indianapolis. Washington, Mis
souti, Oklahoma. Texas, Kentucky.
Tennefseo. Mississippi, Alabama,
i'loiid i, (Jeorgia. Louisiana, and Ar
kana. The list includes the name
ol many men and women high in
public all'aiis and public opinion. a
well as many "just folks" who are.
as we. know, the warp and woof of
the fabric of America, all of them
abb' to go for a little while or long
to some place of interest. Appre
ciate the imnotranc of o.-n
iing of a community I have
i - - . - ..... ' .I.
uLcmocii many who might beVonio in
vestors later on.
To this group I wrote early in
February at considerable length '.and
in the most interesting manner I could
of the beauty, attractions, advantages
and possibilities of this section! 't vy
i .... i , . i . . i , . .
ing to cover every phase of the sit
uation, that one of the many facts
presented might appeal to tile indi
vidual addressed.
Within a limited time after the
first lot of letters was mailed I re
ceived a gratifying number of re.
plies. Indicative ot the reaction from
various classes I quote the following
excerpts from some of the responses
now in mv tile:
From a district judge in Kentucky:
"I shall b0 more than glad to go out
of my way to direct .vacationers your
way from time to time. I shall" un
doubtedly spend, perhaps, not more
than ten days or two weeks, but at
(east that in your balmy atmosphere
this summer."
From a United States Senator: "We
: have been contemplating' for some
time a trip to the (Jreat Smokies,
planning definitely to make that trip
sometime tins spring or' summer: We
were entirely at a loss to know which
direction to go and are 'delighted to
know you will guide our footsteps
along an interesting way. I want to
thank you for bringing this matter to
our attention and 1 am looking for
ward to seeing you at a not far dis
tant day."
From the vice-presiden: df a rath
er large corporation: "I want to con
gratulate you on your splendid sales
letter, describing the wonders of the
Great, Smoky Mountains National
Park and your community. We, eag
erly look forward to- making a trip
to that wonderful country as soon as
it is possible for us to do so.".
Fr:1" a banker in South Carolina:
"I -wain to congratulate you n vour
'Broadview' bulletin, . it is mighty
fine. It will certainly bring me and
mine your way during vacation time."
- ( Also, suggested . be might be inter
ested, in buying a cottage or cottage
site.)
. ; From a former judge and present
member .of a State legislature :"This
. should certainly .- bring home the
bacon." (Indicates that it will bring,
eventually several whose names he
asks that ' I add to my mailing list.)
From one of, Kentucky's noted phy
sician?: "Did this Tatter riii" the
: oen. i n shown it, until it is most
worn out. ,WiH you please write the
following." (List includes bankers,
coal company officials, and the judge
of the district, who were all, according
to the doctor's statement much in
terested.) From the treasurer of an Indian
polis corporation: "After a careful
; consideration of our family council we
have decided that no other locality
could offer such inducement for our
crowd."
From a lady in Savannah: "A friend
of mine, much interested herself.
, Tvhose daughter comes to camp in
your section asks if you will write
the following whom she would like to
join her in vacation land "
From a banker and his wjfc of
londa. who came mv wav hv an
cident last summer, when they were
stopping in Aslieville and who re
turned often by intent: "Your letter
setting forth the advantages of Way
nesville and vicinity sounds so de
lightful that upop reading it my feet
are twitching right now to go out
and start. It most clearly expressed
facts and ideas about a place we can
vouch for, as ideal, so whenever a
good word can be said trust us to
utter same. I am enclosing herewith
names and addresses of friends who
(Cantinued from Page 1)
positors depends on how those owing
the bank pay," Mr. Burns stated. "The
amount to $230,000, and the deposits
to .suz.uuu so H eveiyDouy tnat owes
the bank pays up in full the deposi
tors will receive 100 percent of their
deposits."
The capita! stock of the bank is
$50,000, and an assestment was made
on the stock ladders immediately after
the bank closed. Something like $14,
000 lias been paid in by the stock
holders, it was said.
The bank officials were allowed to
reopen the bank and accept new ac
counts after the bank closed with
many others in the fall of l'J-Ji). The
bank remained open for IS months and
made every effort to collect monies
due the bank, but because of the eco
nomic situation and their inability to
nniKe collections, they suspended busi
ness and moved the new accounts to
the First National Hank.
Mr. Burns arrived here the next
day, September 20th, and took charge
of the old bank's business affairs.

TO Whom It May Concern:
At a regular meeting of the Hay

March 1.'!, it was unanimously agreed
that the American Legion approve
and give its support individually and
as an organization to our National
representatives and to the President
of the United States in the economy

adhered to and we enter this plea
and support for an equal and equita

We further more realize (and pe
