This past summer has been a history mak ing period for the park, in that several of the high officials of the federal government have made personal visits to the park and gotten first hand information as to the natural ad vantages that are offered. In July Arno B. Cammerer, director of all National Parks, visited the Park, and spent several days in the area discussing matters with the local groups. In September, President Roosevelt, togeth er with Mr. Cammerer, and many other Wash ington officials, toured the Park. Of course, Senator Reynolds and Congress man Weaver feel at home in the Park since they have made many trips into the area, and now "that Senator Bailey has made his trip, there seems to be no reason why the inspiration all of them got from their trips won't tend to hur ry things to develop to the point where the Park will be completed. This much can be said- in an optimistic tone, and that is all of those who are most in terested in the completion of the Park have the information first hand, and can talk from reali ties instead of generalities. We may all expect and look for quick ac tion in the development of the Park as a result of the trips made by officials this past summer. THE DISTRICT HEALTH DEPARTMENT In the letter to the editor this week, is a letter from Charles E. Ray, president of the Chamber of Commerce, in which he encloses a letter from Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, of the state health department, in which he points out the value of the district Health Department to this area. Those of us in Ilaywood County, and other counties that are served by the Health Depart ment, perhaps are too close to the work to rea lize the vast amount of good that is being done right here for us and our neighbors. Outsiders are realizing the value of the District Health Department and it is a deter mining factor in many instances in getting people to come here. The department guards our health in so many ways that we know nothing about that most of us would be startled if . we only knew all the facts. This is a much better place in which to live since the District Health. Department was created. That one sentence sums up the value of the work. CHANCE TO MAKE $2.50 Senator George Norris of Nebraska sup ported Al Smith for President in 1928 and Fran klin Roosevelt in 1932. In those years he call ed himself a Republican and is now an inde pendent candidate for United States Senator. Throughout the United States he is praised for his independence, for his contempt for party lines when they interfere with his convictions of truth and right. In South Carolina he is ad mired because he is supporting Roosevelt, but if he had b -en a Democrat living in South Caro lina and were now supporting Landon, hanging would not be thought too good for him. Is this evidence that the people in Nebraska are free, or that the people of South Carolina are slaves? If some one will find a politician of South Caro lina whose soul is his own and will send us his picture, we shall forward it to Mr. Ripley of "Believe It or Not." If we get five dollars for it we shall split even wth the discoverer. Charleston News & Courier. AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN COMING Haywood Democrats will ge't down to brass tacks tonight at Canton, when Senator Josiah W. Bailey makes the address praising the New Deal which will formally open the 1936 cam paign in this county. Democratic leaders in the county are for tunate in getting a man like Senator Bailey to open the campaign. He is an outstanding sup porter of the New Deal, and ranks high in Washington. On October 8th, he speaks in New York City before an important gathering, and from that date on will be sent to all parts of the country by the National Democratic Committee. It is conceded that Haywood County wi'i go Democratic by a large majority in every race county, state and national, but those in charge of leading the affairs of the Democrats in the county are not satisfied with just getting a majority, but are determined to pile up a vote that will offset the results of the 1928 election, when Haywood went into the Republican col umns. In 1928 some Democrats, we are told, took for granted that Haywood could not go Repub lican. The fact that she did go Republican was almost more than some could stand, and now, as in 1932, no chances will be taken, and "a record Democratic vote" is the goal of the party leaders. By putting on a vigorous campaign for the next thirty days, both parties will have an op portunity to "take stock" and check up on themselves as well as the opposing group. So after all, an active campaign should prove bene ficial to all interested in elections. PREDICTIONS The nation's railroads, for the first time since 1931, will be "in the black" by a substan tial margin for the first eight months of this year, partial reports of 45 railroads indicated last week. The surplus will be in sharp con trast to the $80,000,000 deficit reported for the corresponding period last year. The manufacture of tourist trailers for automobiles has been growing so rapidly that experts within the past month have been pre dicting that 25 per cent of this country's citi zens will be living on wheels by 1956. They base their prediction on the rate of manufac ture at this time. There are about 600 trailer builders in the United States, all pretty busy. United prices range from $400 to $3,500, the latter price being for a swanky model. At least 20 per cent increase in general business will be reported at the end of this year, according to a report just issued by the survey committee of the National Association of pur chasing Agents. Higher food costs will cut down some of the anticipated gains in department store sales. The Pathfinder. SEVEN LEAN YEARS About this time seven years ago came the end of the world. The crash was signalized by the memorable Wall Street break in stocks. From that moment, the tragedy of the seven lean years has been on. No gift of tongues is capable of telling its full story in misfortune and misery. No pen will ever be competent to portray in all of the grimness and gruesomeness of its. outlines the complete picture of ruin and de vastation, of human destitution and bereftness that followed in the wake of that historic col lapse in the stock market. The country is getting up now out of the wreck and beginning to walk about a little. It is getting back its economic status, at least to a degree. Wonder if it has gotten its senses back? '..- And, therefore, will come to realize that in his material circumstances and well-being, man is under inexorable laws which he can't beat to save his life. If he gets drunk and goes on a hilarious speculative spree these laws of Nature com pel him to pay the penalty to the limit. That's the lesson and . truth of it all. Charlotte Ob server. " ; ' UNFAIR COMPETITION Jack Dempsey, as a speaker for the Demo cratic National Committee, may have done a swell job in Maine and Pennsylvania. But seasoned campaigners will regret this Democratic experiment in political ballyhoo. Particularly will they regret the scheduled tour of Dempsey and a group of professional wrestl ers who will give their first show, in behalf of the party, in Buffalo on October 5. That simply means that if the Republican Committee signs up Sally Rand, we're sunk. Raleigh News- & Observer. The Statue of Liberty in New York harbor will be fifty years old on October 28th.

ETTfcH Mr. W. Curtis Russ, Editor, The Waynesville Mountaineer, Waynesville, N. C. My dear Mr. Russ: Believing that your subscribers will find it of interest, I enclose copy of a letter from Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State Health officer. Dr. Reynolds quotes from my re cent radio talk on Haywood County, and follows with some pointed obser vations. Attention is called particu larly to the third and fifth para graphs. My personal experience, and that of the Chamber of Commerce, serve to confirm the interest in this work expressed by the touring public. It it is my opinion that any well considered Haywood County program must include a definite place for health work. We are to be congratu lated for the splendid setup we now have, and I think we should be ex tremely grateful to our Board of Commissioners for supporting this work. Very truly yours, CHA.S. E. RAY, Jr., President. It was with a great deal of pleas ure and interest that I read, in de tail, in Sunday's Asheville Citizen Times your radio address which came over WWNC Thursday night. It seems impossible for us in Raleigh to get direct connection with the Ashe ville station. , You have set a good example for others to follow. Naturally I have foremost in wind your remarks rela tive to the activity that I am most deeply and vitally interested as State Health office of North Carolina, and as a native of Western North Carolina. You said in part,-"Another impor tant organization having its head quarters in Waynesville is the District Health Administration which com prises Haywood, Jackson, Swain, and Graham counties. That organization is a model of its kind, is co-operative ly supported by the counties mention ed, the State Board of Health, the Indian Bureau and the U. S. Public Health Service. Through this organ ization, public health is not only taught, practiced and encouraged, but is required. These precautions, plus our naturally healthy climate, result in a wonderfully eafe place to live. Mention must be made also of out hospital." I would like to make this observa tion that the people throughout the United States and other countries as well, are deeply interested in health ful conditions, particularly relating to water and milk supplies, cafes and hotels and general sanitation.
