Mouse Appropriated 5 Millions For Blue Ridge Parkway Wed. "Who Is the bride?" There is mystery at the very outset of the -Hollywood feature film, which The Mountaineer is bringing t0 Park Theatre for three days, starting Thursday, May 27. The novel approach to the story is an accurate index of the entire pic ture, for it represents a departure in screen productions and in Cooking Schools. A Cooking School on the screen? Indeed, yes, a modern course in practical home economics, with the added inducement of close-ups of every interested pupil. Because The Mountaineer is in line with the progressive developments, particularly those which affect the community and the home,, "The Bride Wakes Up" will be presented for three consecutive days without charge. The public welcome includes a gala enter tainment, with daily gifts added for good measure. Even though the plot revolves around an attractive young bride, ex perienced housekeepers will sympa thize with her plight, and following her adventures, they are apt to find themselves learning, too. For this gay, swiit-moving screen tale is crammed with the very newest news of homemaking suggestions and up-to-the-minute household equipment. So fascinating is the blend of ro mance, deft humor and sage instruc tion, that the entertainment will seem far shorter than the bride's first pie crust. It is a real experience to follow the winsome heroine into neighborly, homelike kitchens, to hear her nat ural questions and the chatty, infor mative answers, and best of all, to watch the actual measuring, mixing and entire preparation of such tri umphs as luscious double fudge cake, tempting apple pie and dainty, quickly-prepared salads and chilled des serts. ; Here is a feature film in which the producers have dared to depart from the traditional succession of close-ups of a pretty face. For the Camera's keen eye is focused sharply on the mixing bowl, where the alert watchers can see the exact meth od of creaming the shortening and sugar, the blending of dry and wet in gredients, and later watch the baking, frying or roasting. There is no trick photography in these authentic kitch ens despite the Hollywood background. The camera sees also the convenient wonders of these compact, simplified kitchens. It records the demonstra tion of convenient devices designed to save time and labor. The succession of clear-cut camera close-ups will give a far more vivid picture and a better understanding of this useful equip ment than hours of reading or lect uring. . Kitchen doors are open wide these days, and the camera like the wilHng guests, is ready to pay tribute to the shining perfection of this culinary I laboratory where the woman-of-the house spends so much time. Wise counsel to the bride, which will cover many a home problem, extends to making the most of her electric (Continued on back page) ' Seeking Parkway tllAS. I-:. It AY, .Mt. ( has. E. Kay Jr., Chairman Of Advisory Committee, Is Op timistic Over Prospects Editor's Note For the past three weeks Chas. E. Ray, Jr., has devot ed practically his entire time on de tails regarding the Blue Ridge Park way. He called a representative giup to meet here and then spent several days in Raleigh in conference. He has kept a close touch on the situa tion, and as was expected, was nam ed chairman of the Western North Carolina Advisory conunitteet Be cause he has been so closely connect ed with the subject, he was asked to write the following article, giving the statu of the parkway situation as of yesterday:' Federal Survey In This Area Will Be Sought At Once Congressman Zebulon Weav er wired Frank W. Miller here last night, that the House of Representatives, had late Wed nesday, voted by an overwhelm ing vote, to restore the original impropriation of five million dol lars for the Blue Kidge Parkway. Late last week, the House ap propriations committee reduced (he budget recommendation for the Hlue Ridge Parkway con struction from five millions to two and a half millions. North Carolina Congressmen got busy at once, and by the week-end reported that the situ ation was "well in hand." The reason the fifty per cent cut was sought by the appro priations committee was in keep ing with the President's economy movement to reduce Federal expenditures. It is almost certain that a meeting of the newly formed Western North Carolina advis ory committee will be called at an early date, by Chas. E. Kay, Jr., and a request made of the department of the Interior for a survey of the adopted route west of Asheville. No statements were available last night on this, however. "North ('aorlina, and particularly Western North Carolina, has been in a fighting mood these past ten days. We have been scrapping for and about the Blue Ridge Parkway. This national project, originally promoted by President Uooseveil himself, now the responsibilty of the. National Park Service, comes down to our own Great Smoky Mountains National Park from the Shenandoah in Virginia. Des tined to carry a tremendous How of traffic into this region, it has as sumed a position of tremendous im portance in our outlook. Every coun ty in this fection is concerned that it should he completed at the earliest possible date. "In this connection, the Waynesville Chamber of Commerce was host to an important meeting here on May 6. This was attended by about forty eivic leaders from Buncombe, Henderson, Jackson, Transylvania, Haywood, Ma con, and Swain counties. "This group instructed a commit tee of eight including Frank W. Mil ler and Chas, E. Ray, Jr., to appear before a meeting of the State High way Commission, jn Raleigh on Tues day, May 11th. There, they were splendidly received through the cour tesy and co-operation of E. L. Mc Kee, commissioner from this district, and the Chairman, Frank Dunlap, "Assisted by R. Getty Browning, chief location and claim enginieer of the commission, the Western North Carolina group outlined to the new highway commissioners, the entire story of the parkway. "Pointed criticism was made of the instruction of the National Park Service to consider departure from the originally approve route through this section which would leave out the section across Pisgah, Tennessee Bald, Balsam - Gap and across into Soco. The group meeting here on May 6, had been unanimous in endorsing that route. The assistance of the highway commission in this connection was guaranteed through the adoption of a appropriate resolution, and the per sonal assurance of co-operation by Mr. Dunlap, the commission chairman.
