Furtlier plans beuaii to take shape on paper, and it was felt that another zenith had been reached ,,n September '-. 1940, when the late President Roosevelt, together with ilicials of the states .i North Carolina and Tennessee joined together on the state line and formallv dedicated the Park. Sentiment everywhere was. "This is it the develop ment program now starts." Sad to sav. there has been little physical development of the Park -mice the day Presi dent Roosevelt stood under tlie marker to l.-iitia Speintan Rochetc-iier Memorial Foun dation at New-four I (Ian. anil formallv ac tion, then, ii What will it cost to completely develop the Park,. and when will it be done?" j The official estimates on hand to date' show that some seventeen million dollars will be required to complete the Park. All that ' money must come from appropriations made j by Congress. For 1949 the Congress has set j aside some $45,900 for physical improve- j me.its. For 1950, $117,200. At that rate, any (,'uess as to when the Park will be completed is just as good as another. No funds are provided for new road construction in the budget before the Congress and yet, addi tional roads are a crying need. What about the completion of the Park way ? That too, is a matter for which only Con gress can appropriate funds. The official estimates of the sum necessary to complete the Parkway as it now stands is $34,808,000. For this work in 1949, the Park service has $4. 199,388, and for 1950, only $789,300, of which $542,080 would be available for new construction, a sun) sufficient to build less than four miles of parkway. According to present-day estimates, it will take over fifty millions to complete both the Park and Parkway. For the next year the proposed budget before the Congress pro vides only $1,287,678. At that rate, it will require more than 40 years to get sufficient money to complete the Park and Parkway perhaps much longer. In the face of present conditions, no one would be so foolish as to even think of askine e ( in cress t once lor the completion program of the Park and Parkway, yet on the other hand, when one reads that $150,000,000 is being spent on one battleship, that will be out-of-date be lore it is completed, it makes one begin to wonder if we arc too tolerant in being pat ient, or shouldn't we be? It looks like a long, long time before any president will get to dedicate the completion of the Park and Parkway. In the meantime, we look to the Park Service for more ag gressive leadership, and to our representa tives in Congress for a definite, substantial increase in appropriations for these worthy projects. Are these projects to receive less from the present Democratic Congress than Irom its Republican predecessor? They'll Do It Every Time tot!

Tnere has been a lot of alk. and planning '"' 1,1 connection with the (b-eat Smoky Mountains XatK.na! Park. But in the last Hi vears. other 'ban the completion of the state highway throirgh the Park, it remains about the same. To be sure, some trails have been built, but as far as the average traveler knows, there is still just the one road traversing the Park over Newfound Gap, with a dead-end road to Clingman's Dome. In this case. even, the North Carolina por tion N. C. 107 was built bv the State and donated to the federal Clyde's Recreational Program The civic and religious groups of Clyde seem to have stirred themselves to the point of doing something about a recreational center. They have made the initial step of setting up an organization to sponsor and promote such a worthwhile project. The leaders have given due notice that officers will be elected at a mass meeting in July. This gives all agencies time to discuss the needs, and the best way to go after the program which they deem essential in the community. We are impressed by the fact that the citizens of Clyde are not rushing pell mel! into a project as big as a community-wide recreational program. It will take lots of time and study if it, is to succeed, and from the news report irom Clyde, it looks as if they are giving the matter plenty of care ful study, and investigation. We will be watching Clyde's progress on this program with 'interest. Bob Anton, of AsluwOe. s;i, nils week end here tilh I'rit :aK. 5 YEARS AGO I.. S. Gaulden.

The cases are where MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist ment because it Is "only a gag." It is closer to the practical joke which is almost pure sadism than to humor, which prompts us to laugh at ourselves as well as others. The wisecrackcr who is short on humor will betray the fact by getting angry if you sug gest he Is ever "unintentionally funny." Will e girl who really loves one man kin ethers? Answer: That may depend, not on how "really" she loves him, but on vhat a kiss means to her. And remember, kisses mean quite dif ferent things to different people. In pre-war Japan, for instance, a kiss was considered so extreme an Intimacy that the censors cut all kissing scenes out of the mov ies. At the other extreme, I know social croups in which a kiss is regarded as merely a bit more cordial than a handshake. But courtship is difficult when certain Do "wisecrockers" have a 1 sens of humor? Answer: Not always, at any rate. The typical wisecrack is a form of wit, the essence of which is to deflate someone by making - , . v.ciiws aumeune oy maxuig actions appear terribly important him look ridiculous, and particu- w wum imttuor auu iviu uj ue iarly, doing this under conditions tbt In which he can't show resent' Can words help driver people to drink? Answer: Yes. and I do not mean only "harsh words." For the feel ings with which words become associated may affect our attitude toward the things they describe. A Swedish psychologist Dr. O. Sundet, calls attention to the fact that In the Scandinavian lan guages the words which describe, a person who does not drink have " a disagreeable implication, while those for Intoxication suggest sympathetic feelings.
