Ramps
(Continued from Pas 1)
at being unable to attend per
sonally. Another familiar figure at pre
vious ramp conventions also wa.
missing at yesterday's gathering.
He was Haywood Tax Collector
Sebe Bryson, the convention' pres
ident, who is vacationing in Cali
fornia following a recent Illness.
Most familiar voice at the gath
ering was R. C. Gossett of Canton,
wearing a ramp in his lapel like
a gardenia, and working almost
continuously at the microphone as
master of ceremonies.
Seasoned, work-worn, 28 model
farm trucks stood side by side with
sleek '49 model convertibles and
sedans. And their owners did the
same.
Leathery-faced, tanned farmers
in clean overalls pointed labor
toughened hands towards the hills
and explained to visitors from
Ohio and Florida and West Vir
ginia what the ramp was, where it
grew, how it used to serve as late
winter forage for the mountain
cattle.
The visitors came singly, by
families with infant children, and
in groups, like the 250 citizens
from Cleveland, Tenn., brought to
the convention by their town's
Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Brown arc
carrying the near-legend of the
ramp to their home in Vancouver,
Washington.
Agricultural workers from many
states came to find out just what
the ramp was.
Convention Committeeman Floyd
Woody said there are plans to take
care of even more people next
year. Haywood county Masons and
the ramp convention officials have
agreed to' split expenses for im
provements at the Gap.
Part of the land will be graded
and leveled to take care of 200
more automobiles and trucks.
But as far as the traffic prob
lem was concerned, there just
wasn't any .
Treasurer A. W. Parker deliver
ed hearty pats on the back to State
Highway Patrolman Jeff May and
H. Dayton for the way they handl
ed the traffic of hundrds of cars,
trucks, buses and motorcycles.
Speaking for the convention
officials, he expressed appreciation
for the cooperation of the Patrol
force in the county.
The only serious business of the
convention was posponed. This
was the scheduled election of offi
cers for 1950.
Secretary Medford, Treasurer
Parker, Vive President J. W.
Smathers, and Committeemen
Woody, Claude Williams, Dick
Powell, Sutton, and Bill Palmer
will meet at 7:30 p. m. tomorrow
at Palmer's Furniture Company in
Canton to elect next year's offi
cials. While the convention still had
several hours, to go, the men who
had worked for it agreed, as a mat
ter of course, that the time and
the money they had given and what
had come from voluntary donations
had been worth it.
For as one committeeman put it:
"All this isn't just for the ramp.
The idea is to get people together."
reporters are heartening proof that
farm people are carrying out their
own responsibility not only for en
riching the life our soil provides,
but also for seeing that people
everywhere understand what is be
ing done and what must be done
if our land is to provide in plenty
for all.
"When people team up to get a
job like this done, there's no limit
to the things they can do we
look forward to your success in
this step forward."

man. and Clayton Mehaffey as di
rectors. This administrative organization
was accomplished in an atmos
phere of infonnality and good hum
or, sparked by the comments of
Mr. Napier, an engineer by pro
fession v. ho terms himself the
"Lions Bishop" of the area 200
miles around his Knoxville. Tenn.,
home.
The acceptance speeches reflect
ed the spirit of the gathering.
Grover Haynes said. "Don't know
what to do. I guess 1 accept."
Mr. Medlin: "Ditto."
Mr. Gross: "When someone joins
the church, you help convert him
by giving him a job. Now that I
have a job. I'm converted.''
Mr. Harris: ' I'll try to make the
day a little longer to do the work.
I'lJ do the best 1 can."
Sidney Haynes: "I understand
the man for (his job H'ail Twister)
is one who is not oulstanding in
spcechmaking. I think you've got
the right man." i.
Mr. Cagle: "I'll meet them at the
door."
Mr. Mehaffey: "Thank you, gen
tlemen.'' Weaver Chapman: "I hope we
don't do much that we'll have to
undo."
Mr. Sellers: "Same as Weaver."
Of the 31 charter members, all
but three attended this meeting.
Those three Ruel Noland, Jack
Lattimer, and Lewis Smith were
absent only because they had to
work that night.
Only detail remaining to com
plete the formal entry of the Clyde
club into Lions International is
the presentation of the charter.
The charter ceremonies were set
for the second Friday in June
the 10th of the month. Club Presi
dent Haynes appointed Secretary
Harris as chairman to arrange the
accompanying program.
The only thing resembling an
argument that arose in the harmon
ious first meeting came over the
fixing of the dates for the regular
meetings.
After several motions were
made and dismissed, (he members
approved the second and fourth
Fridays of each month as the dates
for the regular sessions, the school
lunchroom as the place, and 7:30
p.m. as the time.
The groundwork for the organ
ization of the Clyde Club was done
by the Waynesville Lions Club
sponsoring committee of Chair
man Lawrence Leatherwood, Lec
Davis, and Jerry Rogers, and the
Canton group of Chairman Bill
Stone, Morris Brooks, and Dr. V.
H. Duekelt.
For Mr. Napier, who was a mem
ber of one of the charter clubs
when the Lions International was
formed 31 years ago, it was his
71st organizational effort in North
Carolina.
Waynesville Club President Paul
Davis and Canton Club President
Floyd Robinson each assured the
Clyde members of their clubs'
support.
Two members from the Waynes
ville club will attend the . Clyde
meeting' on May 13, and tw'o will
represent the Canton Club at the
Clyde organization May 27.
Other members of the Waynes
ville club who attended the initial
meeting at Clyde were Dick Brad

Cuddeback.

SESSION WAS FOURTH
LONGEST IN HISTORY
Whatever its shortcomings, the
assembly left the Capitol with two
distinctions under its belt. It had
held the fourth longest session in
State history, and it had outdone
all its predecessors in the size of
its appropriations.
The leeislators had their full
share of feuding and fighting be
fore they finally closed the books.
The biggest row came over the
huge appropriations bill, which in
its final form still was unsatisfac
tory to many of the "Go Forward"
Compromise Product
The $427,000,000 budget emerged
as a product of compromise be
tween the House and Senate, with
the economy-minded, anti-Scott
Senate carrying its point on almost
every item.
Here are the main features of
the budget:
A 28.51 per cent salary increase
for public school teachers, suffici
ent to provide a salary scale from
$2,081 to $787. It now is $1,620
to $2,169.
Twenty per cent pay raises foe
other State employes, plus $900.
000 to provide merit salary raises
in the second year of the biennium.
Total public school appropria
tions for the biennium of 177 mil
lions, nine millions more than the
Advisory Budget Commission rec
ommended. A $25,000,000 outlay to counties
for school building, with each
county receiving a grant of $250,
000. A general fund budget of $280,
000,000 $120,000,000 to the high
way fund and $2,000,000 to the agri
cultural Yund.
A $73,000,000 appropriation for
permanent improvements, with
units of the Greater University get
ting about a third of the total.
Provision for a bond election to
determine whether the State shall
spend another 25 millions on school
building aid to the counties.
