Hazelwood Waynesville Lake Junaluska
the National Park Service, is def
initely interested in the develop
ment of the Park Museum of the
(ileal Smoky Mountains National
Park, located on the North Caro
lina side. Tins was learned yester
day in an exclusive interview with
Mr Drury by The Mountaineer
Mr. Drury is also in lavor of
j preserving Hie traditions of the
pioneers of tins section by keep
I ing in tact as many old land
marks as possible in the area.
He approves collection of ma
terial lor the museum that will
j portray the life and cutural arts
Mil the mountaineer, as he feels
sucii exhibits will lend color and
interest to the visitors coming to
this section from other parts of
the rounlrv
! Mr. Dnny further staled that
! during Hie next few weeks he
plans lo send a staff of specialists
'down to make a survey along the
j lines of historical preservation
! and offer suggestions as to Ihe best
means oi presenting and preserv
ing the material found.
"I clout mind admitting, that
some years ago I thought the
west began in my native slate,
California, but since visiting Ihe
Park and marveling at its gran
deur. I feel the 'west begins in
Western North Carolina'.",
After being introduced by Don
Klias, president of the Abbeville
Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Drury
replied to Governor Broughton's
that more roads were needed into
the Park, by adding: "I appreciate
the open-mindedness of your pro
gressive governor. As far as I
am concerned. Hie Park Service
will approach the subject of road
building with an open mind."
Director Drury pointed out that
Ihe defense program came first,
but went on to say that, projects I
were oemg worked up and put
on the shelf until the defense
work was over, and then these
projects would become a reality
and men now on dccfn.se would be
given jobs. Hoad building will
be an important item at such a
time, he concluded.
"The defense work has slowed
us down, but in one way that
is good, because sometimes we
spend money too rapidly."
Mr. Drury said it. wa wonder
ful to meet with such groups and
learn of the trends of thought, and
to get local slants on such mat
ters. The Park director was emphatic
in his remarks that "sonic sections
of the Park should not be pene
trated by roads. We should main
tain same wilderness areas, to
which men may retreat, and where
wildlife may find refuge."
"I havp come to think of the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park in that class of truly great
things in America. I have made
several trips into the Park, yet
this is the first from this side,
and on one of those trips, I was I
with the lafe Arno B. Cramerer,
who for seven years served as
director of the Park Service. It
was with him that I stood on top
of Mt. LeConte and looked for
miles at the colorful trees in their
fall colorings. Since that time I
have always felt very much at
home in the Park area."
The Park official was highly
complimentary of the barbecue,
which was served, stating: "I have
never tasted such delicious barbe
cue, even in sunny California."
Manganese, a material used in
small quantities to toughen steel
may be needed in the human diet.
