It was this scroll in Ohio that Kirkpatrick really heard from, and the news convinced him that he had eune into business for himself. I The tall, red-headed veteran's father-in-law wrote back that he had displayed the scroll in his medical office in Lima and that at least a hundred of his patients had urged him to order copies 'for them. The same word came from another relative in Tucson. Arizona, where one of Kirkpatrick's scrolls had gone. Goes Into Business Now the ex-GI has set about to produce his scroll in quantities suf ficient to make it profitable to make and sell them He lias en cased the scroll in two leather-covered aluminum tubes, so that it can be rolled from one into the oth er, as a person searches up or down the sheet for a particular reference. The sheet has been ruled in verti cal lines with columns labeled for these subjects: Ancestors. Music, Literature, Medicine, Man made things. Inventions and discoveries, Religion. Countries and Wars. Along both borders is a scale of years, divided into 50-year inter vals, for following his development of world events chronologically. Several colors are used to trace the development of single trends through given periods. Lateral variations in the width of the "Na tions'' columns gives a graphic sense of the relative importance of any nation as a "people'' during a specific period. Whether a person searching for a particular reference on the scroll happens to find it or not doesn't worry Kirkpatrick in the least. He has not submitted the scroll to any group of scholars to confirm his judgment in the selection ol events to be listed Me includes no bibli ography. If your favorite dates are not on the scroll, he comments, there's plenty of room to add them your self. In fact, he has left two vertical columns blank and labeled them "Ancestors'' and "My Interests ". In these, a person may not only add the special events in history that interest them most, hut they may trace their own family tree. Hopes It Will Do Good Kirkpatrick - hopes the whole thing will make a worthwhile con tribution to humanity and that the rise and fall of nations and the re current wars which his chart shows will serve as a warning to men to preserve peace. "As a flight instructor in the Air Corps I learned to measure my suc cess by how many ol my pilots came through." he said. "If they learned, they lived. In this atomic age, if man is to live, he must learn. He must learn of the past as well as the present if he hopes to have a future. He must learn to under stand the people of Europe and Asia if another major conflict is to be avoided. My scroll is not a cure all, but I do believe it is a step in the right direction." Kirkpatrick had two very close calls during the war. and he says he is (irmly convinced that his life was spared for some good cause. He thinks perhaps this scroll is it. If his scroll will cause men to stop and ask why global war rs necessary and why every genera tion has been called up to fight, Kirkpatrick thinks it will have served a good purpose. By laying down information about a variety of subjects in par allel, chronological columns, he thinks he will lead students of the scroll to a better understanding of how apparently unreleatcd happen ings atfecled one another. Begins Production The young student of history now is contemplating the eventual re sults if his subsequent scrolls cause the comment and create the de mand resulting from the one he sen! to his father-in-law. Looking around for a place to go into busi ness, he found rent so exorbitant that he retreated to a tenant house on his mother's farm near Lake Junaluska. He has arranged to have three people help him assem ble the lithographed sheets into wooden rollers and the rollers fit ted into aluminum containers. If the demand for his scroll grows, the inventor is prepared to turn them out in assembly line fashion. His helpers are Garner and Magdalene Hancy and. Bill Parks, tenant farmers who were born and reared on his mother's farm in Haywood county. Kirkpatrick not only designed the scroll and its housing but he has also designed machines for the rapid assembly of the gadget, all of which is made at his tenant farm house except for the printing of the sheet. The inventor is 31 years old and a native of Canton. He attended the University of North Carolina one year and transferred to the University of Dayton, where he was graduated with the degree of aeronautical engineer in 1940. He entered the Air Corps as a cadet in March,1' 1941, and advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel be fore he resigned in 1S46. He married the former Miss Jane McCroba of Lima, Ohio, and they have one child, Helen. FOR SALE '41 Hudson, good con dition, very reasonably priced. Call Saturday or Sunday, 498-M. Men 9 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER MORE ABOUT ! Parkway (Continued From Page Onei to these projects will affect, rather definitely, the future welfare of ev ery man woman and child in Hay wood county, I am pleased to dis cuss these projects. "The extent to which they are developed, the extent to which they draw tourists into this area, will affect the business of the farmer, the merchant, the lawyer, the doc tor, and will affect the salaries we pay preachers. In a very direct way, they will affect the value of our lands, and indirectly will af fect the tax revenue of Haywood county. Unfortunately since the begin ning of the war, progress insofar as construction and physical devel opment are concerned has been at a standstill. In fact some deterior ation has occurred to the physical properties of the National Park and the National Forests. It is now up to the Congress to provide appro priations sufficient to go ahead with long-planned developments. With respect to this need the Chamber of Commerce leaders of Western North Carolina, immediately with the ending ot the war, united their efforts by forming Western North Carolina Associated Communities. During the last Legislature, a mem ber of our own Chamber of Com merce, Senator William Medford, introduced a bill creating the North Carolina National Park. Parkway and Forests Development Commis sion, which now has its office in Waynesville with your speaker as chairman of that commission. These' agencies have been working closely with Congressman Monroe Redden and our senators, in an ef fort to secure needed appropria tions. With respect to the Smokies Pafk, the State Park Commission joined forces with a similar state commission in Tennessee in the fight for appropriations. Recently a Western North Carolina group, including representatives of the Waynesville Chamber of Com merce, met with a congressional group in Washington as a part of its drive to secure funds needed for the Park, the Parkway and the National Forests. As your repre sentatives we will keep on working. "As your representatives, we have worked out with officials of the National Park Service, a long range plan of development designed to open up all sections of the Park. We have sought also to get sections of the Parkway built in this sec tion. "Definite progress can be report ed with relation to another Park I project, vour Chamber of Com merce has been urging for years. That is the development of a mu seum within the North Carolina side of the Park, one which would portray jn an Interesting manner the conditions of pioneer life un der which this country was settled. Exhibits for this were collected by Mr. H. C. Wilburn several years ago. While funds necessary for the permanent building remain yet to be appropriated, the Park Serv ice is proceeding this spring to con vert the Oconaluftee Ranger Sta tion into a temporary museum building. Exhibits are now being prepared and it is expected that this temporary museum will he opened to the public by June 1. "Partly within Haywood county and close to our hearts is the Pis gah National Forest which our neighboring county of Transyl vania is inclined to claim. At its nearest points, it is within approx imately 15 miles of Waynesville. From here it extends northeasterly in broken areas into the Blowing Rock area. Just to the west of us is the magnificent Nantahala Na tional Forest. Here are some in teresting facts about these two na tional forests. Both are approxi mately equal in size to the Great Smoky Mountains National Forest. While the Park reported last year 1,188,748 visitors, the Pisgah For est reported 1,326,100 and the Nan tahala 522,990. or a total for the two forests of 1,849,090 people. In these figures there is food for thought. They suggest that as a people we have not appreciated the value, either present or potential, of these two forests. Of them also it may be said that their varied scenery compares favorably with that of the Smokies and every oth er Park and important from our point of view is the fact that they Arthritis Pain For quick, deltftrWully comforting help for achaa an! palaa ( Rhf amatisra, ArthrltU, Naurltli, LnmbafO.

Telephone 777 MORE ABOUT Thad Bryson (Continued From Page One) and swain county bar organiza tions. He has been mayor of Bryson City since 1937, also having held that position from 1931 to 1935. The 20th district include Hay wood, Swain. Cherokee, Graham, Macon. Clay and Jackson counties. are all ours. Your committee is giving much thought and attention to the possibilities of greater ben efits from the two forests and later will report in that connection. "In closing, your speaker would like to leave with you an observa tion as to our local responsibilities. The extent to which Haywood coun ty benefits from the Park, the Na tional Forests and the Blue Ridge Parkway, is going to depend in considerable part on our efforts to justify that benefit. If we are to benefit from our proximity to these beautiful national areas set aside for the use and enjoyment of all the people, then our towns, our places of business, our homes and our highways must also be given a 'Park atmosphere.' Certainly they must be kept reasonably clean and free from rubbish. Instead of destroying every tree and shrub in sight, we must plant trees and more trees. About our homes and pub lic buildings, we should plant and show the shrubs and evergreens that are native to these mountains. "Then and only then will the vis itors who come go back home and give glowing reports of the beau ties of Haywood county. Then and only then, will be the visitors who come go back and send back to us their friends and neighbors. "As a last word, your speaker suggests that when you support or ganizations like the Chamber of Commerce, the Home Demonstra tion clubs and the county farm agent, you are supporting also land valuations in your community, and creating a better place in which to live."

Mrs. Fisher also pointed out that hp local Red Cross has clothed a number of families as well as school children and has taken care of many transient cases which might otherwise have made appeals al private homes.

He again pointed out the continued need for Red Cross funds and emphasized the fact that 69 per cent of money collected will remain at home. Workers will make a concen trated drive this week and hope to reach the quota by March lu.
