Thousands of people are visit ing the Park and, of course, traveling' into the surrounding country; in addition to the thousands who annually go to lhat section nf the State to spend the summer or for fdiort visits. A paved road is now open all the way liom llenileiHiiuville to Newfound (lap and while the highway (in the Tennessee side uf the Talk from Ihe Lap to iatlinbii rg has not lioen completed, we were informed that the 4 rip to that phtoe from the top of the moun tains can he made with little trouble.

There are 200,000 acres of primeval forests in the park, with over 150 species of hardwood trees already catalogued, to say nothing uf hundreds that have never been catalogued. On the return trip a delicious luncheon hour was spent at the Indian Reservation, where only members of the Cherokee tribe of Indians reside. The delicious luncheon nas furnished by courtesy of the citizens of Svlva and liryson City. Following (he JUi chenri.

Franklin) The attractive appearance of our neigh boring town of Waynesville has always en chanted us; but until last week we had en joyed only a casual acquaintance with the people of that community. Now, after hav ing spent two days in Waynesville attending the annual convention of the North Carolina Press Association, we are more "impressed with its people and their fine community spirit than we are with their corporate pulchritude. Never in any town, light fully entertained paper folk of North Waynesville Mountaineer, vice-president. And thus closed one of the most pleasant sessions of the association which it has ever been our pleasure to attend. It -seemed as if the city of Waynesville could not do enough for us; every institution the 'Chamber of Com merce, all of the various clubs, woman's were visitors more de than were the news ( 'a r, lina who went to ll.

Mr. Cammerer'S ad dress was very enlightening to those' of us from the Kast. Hp was introduced by Chas A. Webb, of the Asheville Citizen-Times, who pointed out that Mr. Cammerer was one of the two men to whom most credit was due for the establishment of the park, the other being John I). Iloskef eller. who contributed $5,000,000. Mr. Cammerer gave interesting accounts of the beginning of the park, which was in the 170 s around a campfire In the great Yellowstone National Park On Friday, members of the Press Asso ciation made the tour to Clingman's Dome in the heart of the park, and which is 6 642 feet in height. This is truly a spot where . fJod and nature meet m perfect harmony Here, with ones head In the clouds, It is difficult to keep the feet on the ground, so innpi.ring.iH the xpectacle.

Arm. P. Caiiiinerer, director of the 'National Park. Service, told the N'ort h Carolina Press Association at "Waynesville last Kriday night. "I am not willing t 'commend the complete establishment of the park until the oiigiii.il oiijeetive ,.f 427.0IHI acres has been achieved." Mr. Canimerer explained.'
