April 7. 1949 Soco Road Citizens Going Places From al) indications, it appears that the property owners along the Soco Gap Road are determined to put that area on the tour ist map. Friday night a mass meeting will be held at tiie Maggie school for the purpose of lor mulating plans for promoting the tourist business, and to set up a general program for catering to the traveler. We have said editorially before, that the area from Dellwood to Soco Gap lends itself to being developed into a tourist center that would not be surpassed in Western North Carolina. The lay of the land along the route is al most level, and yet almost within a stone's thijow of the highway. 'the mountains begin to rise, and offer numerous scenic views that are just what the average traveler coming into this area wants. The fact that the highway department made th; highway through the area Number 19,. js a decided asset to the region, and will add much to promotion and routing travel ers through the valley. Soco Gap is perhaps one of the best known spots in the whole Smoky Mountain area, arid since the famous gap is at one end of the valley, it within itself, is a drawing card. This newspaper is happy to see definite action undertaken, and feels that with proper promotion and development, the valley will become an outstanding tourist center. We also feel that the change of name for the community from Maggie to something in keeping with the area will be beneficial. A name like Parkview. Parkland. Parkso (Park and Soco) and dozens of others, from which j suitable name ceiild be chosen. Trie encouraging thing about this whole natter is that the people are cooperating, and working together towards one goal. Under such conditions, "evervone wins." ' We were impressed with the answers to j the question in the "Voice of the People' as published on this page Monday "What do you think could be done to lengthen the tour st season." A longer season has always been a big i problem in Western North Carolina. It seems hard to get the season started before the , Fourth of July, and the curtain seems to ring down with Labor Day. All this brings us to the recent action just taken by the American Automobile Associa tion, which formally asked Congress and j labor leaders for their opinion on a proposal to move Labor Day back a couple of weeks in order to prolong the summer travel season. One spokesman for the movement said that large segments of the tr. vel industry favor . changing Labor Day from the first Monday ( in September to the third Monday in Sep tember. Here in Haywood county, this proposal sounds like a logical one. and one means of j extending the summer season. It is true that i many people with families leave a,bout the j first of September for their homes in order to enroll their children in school, but off hand, we feel that this group is in the minority of ail our potential visitors. The schools in Haywood always start be-j fore Labor Day and take the day as a holi- i day. so from that standpoint, 'it would not make any difference as to the school element. the latter part ot September is usually j Schools C E Weatherby warm, and often offers a more logical day ' principal of the hith scho for outing than the first of the month, which as a general rule is sultry. Right now we see no opposition to making the change, and certainly there is an ad vantage in such a move, especially from a community that is trying to capture more of the travelers dollars.

This time the 53 Waynesville boys showed that they made a profit of over $16,000 an average of over $300 each, or $25 a month. This is just another case of the importance of getting the practical experience of busi ness management on the farm. The boys studying agriculture are going to be far ahead of other groups, in that they are being given practical every-day problems to solve. They are getting to deal with profit and loss and to see that when one does not apply himself, and follow proven practices that there is failure. Mrs James Atkins. Mrs C. O. Newell and Mrs. J M.

However, some of the most important matters to be considered by them this ses sion firmly block the pathway to adjournment by April 9. Schools, roads, and appropriations all splitting headaches three months ago are still there, throbbing away. Leaders said last week they were "hopeful" that April 9 would set them packing, but it will take more than hope to bring the Sen ate and the House to any degree of agreement upon any one of these three matters. beautifying anv spot, as well as the shade sured.

Miller: 'it ought to remain the way it is. I don't see any use in changing it." Bill Prevost: if such a change were adopted all over the country, it would have the effect of making the vacation period longer. But it wouldn't help us here because our tourists have to leave to put their children in school in early Sep tember. "I believe the wnrkintJ man would rather have it as it is now." Bill Cobb "I am in favor of the change if it would lengthen the vacation period. Most of our peo ple leave when Labor Day comes. Making Labor Day later would cause them to stay a little longer."
