own the park this summer and
concession contracts for lodges,

Pending such a permanent estab

many visitors who are sure to visit the

almost all of them.
When the time does come for es

similar to those in some of the west
ern states, where conventions might
be held. Western North Carolina al
ready is a mecea of conventions, and
if these accommodations were provid

number held in that region would
multiply tenfold.
Another aim of the senator is to
make every effort to keep the Great
Smoky Mountains National park from
becoming a toll park. He pointed out

people within 18 hours driving time of

Possibility of peace negotiations and early settle
ment of the Italo-Ethiopian war loomed following
the crushing defeat administered the forces of
Haile Selassie when they were trapped by 20,000
Italian troops in the mountainous region of Tem
bien where a four-day battle crumbled the Ethio
pian line and left 10,000 of their men dead on the
battlefield. Venerable Ras Kassa, leader of the
Ethiopian forces was reported to have been cap
tured or to have committed suicide. Fighting
ranged along an extended front west and south
west of Makale. Italian bombing pianos took heavy
tolls on raids in the vicinity of Quoram and the
mountain citadel of Amba Alaji. The Italian drive
climaxed a campaign to solidify their lines of com
munication from Makale southward toward Addis
Ababa in the face of guerilla warfare tactics of the
Ethiopian forces..

In the going of Mrs. Hajsie Brown
Ki Han. a charter member of the Way-
nesville Woman's Club, the organiza
tion has sustained one of its greatest
losses. We recognized her as our
Club Mother. She had been active in
club work tor 28 years, longer than
any woman in Wee-tern North Caro
lina. She never crew old. was as
young in spirit and progressive ideas
as any woman in vne ciud, ami u is
known that she was a companion and
chum of her grand-children.
Her very presence lent dignity ami
charactoi to our meetings which she
attended with regularity, and always
seemed to enjoy. The treasurers'
books testify that she was never in
arrears in paying her club dues after
the first meeting of the new year.
She was a woman of culture and
charm, possessing a splendid memory
and a brilliant mind. Many of us
recall the beautiful papers she used
to read 'before the club. She really
lived the Club Prayer: "Never hasty
in jud'gment, always generous, calm,
seTene and gentle, and was large in
thought, in word and deed."
We shall always con.siidT it an lien
or to have had her a one of the
founders of thi club, and may we
strive to keep it on thr liigh level as
it was established, and may a double
portion of her sweet spirit and her
wise coum-il continue to live with us
who knew her, and loved her.
"Gone from our club send our halls,
the council of a friend, who gave us
hope and lofty call and sUxni by us
to the end."
We, the members of tie Waynes
ville Woman's Olub, extend our deep
est sympathy to the children, grand
children and loved ones.
And lie it resolved, tliat a copy of
this tribute be spreiul upon our club
minutes. A copy pent to the family

right, he aid, the people will stay
longer and will, as a matter of course,
spend more money.
"Our Bob" enthusiasticady '.declared
today that "the people of Western
North Carolina do not appreciate
what having the park will mean to
them. He .said that with the park
as a cente.r of attraction, people who
come to the -state will make side trips
to irvlude visits to Kings Mountain,
Pisgah Mountain and Forest, Chin.
ney Rock, Asheville, Charlotte and
other nearby places. .
Not only are tourists interested in
scenic and historic spots, hie said, but
when thev-come to. the state they wi 1
want to visit the industries of North
Carolina. He said:
"For instance, I can think of noth
ing more interesting than to watch
the making of cigarettes at Winston
Salem, or of towels at Concord. Un
pointed out that one of the chief at
tractions for tourists visiting Chicago
is the stock . yards and slaughter
house.
The senator reiterated his tnw:
ment that he believed the North. Car
olina legislature should appropriate
$100,000 to advertise, the park all over
the nation, matched, of course, by n
like sum appropriated by'; the. Tennes
see legislature. ,
Meanwhile, he said, he will let no
opportunity slip by unnoticed when he
may advertise the park and his state
in the United Slates senate. He laud
ed the park and state in a long. senate
speech last week.

A Hint For Spring
B
There's really no use of buying a
new spring outfit until you get that
one you wore last year out and send
it to us to be properly cleaned and
pressed. You'll be surprised at the
difference we can make in it. It will
look like new, it will be cleaned prop
erly and it will cost but very little.
