Gov. Scott Grateful
For Haywood's Votes
"I want to congratulate Haywood county voters on
the excellent record given the two bond issues on Sat
urday," Governor Scott told The Mountaineer at noon
today by phone from his office.
"As far as I have been advised, the record of Hay
wood is the best in the state, although a complete tabu
lation of the returns have not been made. It now ap
pears that Haywood will be at the top, or close by when
the tabulating is completed.
"The three precincts in Haywood that went 100 per
cent for the bond issues are the first that have come to
y attention. I am indeed gratified to learn of this,
and that several other precincts came close to the
same record."
Faith And An Obligation
AN EDITORIAL
Over 6,000 Haywood voters went to the polls Sat
urday and by a vote of over 5 to 1, voted for the two
bond issues. Three precincts voted solidly for the two
issues, and three other precincts almost equaled the 100
per cent record-
The citizens in town gave just as overwhelming
support of the two issues as did the rural areas.
Haywood voted for the two issues on the grounds
of progress, and the definite need.
There is no question but what the county needs far
more than the $272,000 that will be derived from the
school bonds, and the $1,892,000 for improvement of rural
roads.
This newspaper thinks it is significant that Hay
wood voted approval of the road bond issue in view of
the fact that this county has not to date gotten what was
promised her in the 1921 road program when the first
road bonds were voted.
For 28 years this county has kept the faith; has
patiently waited, and said but little.
The officials of North Carolina, who are responsi
ble for the construction of highways, are honor bound,
and duty bound to now see that Haywood gets what was
her share of the 1921 road program.
Haywood has kept the faith; we have every reason
to believe that our state officials will fulfill the obliga
tion, and build the highway from here to the Tennessee
line towards Newport.

Rep. Redden
Announces
Work In
Pisgah Area
(See picture Page 61
Construction of the 3-mile sec
tion of the Blue Kidge Parkway
in Piseah National Forest is slated
to get underway next year. Rep.
Monroe M. Redden told The Moun
taineer by long distance today.
The 3-mile section will complete.
the 11-mile link between Wagon
Road Gap and Beech Gap
Prior to the war. a 5-mile sec
tion from Wagon Road Gap to
Bridgers Q&mp Gap was built, and
a little later the d-mue sernon
from Beech Gap to Devils Court
House was built.
The completion of the conneet
ting 3-mile link will give jnotorists
of this area a loop drive over
some of the most scenic country
in Eastern America. The route of
the Parkway in this particular
area is on the Haywood-Transylvania
line, and atop the mountain
looking down on the thousands of
acres of Pisgah National Forest.
The altitude of Wagon Road Gap
is 4,525 feet, while Bridgers Camp
Can Is 25 feet hicher. and Devils
Court House Is 5,816, and Beech
Gap 5,339.
The proposed Yellow Stone Lake
is near the 3-mile section to lie
completed, and it is at an eleva
tion of 5,000 feet.
Representative Redden said that
Parkway officials had assured
him of the completion of the sec
tion next year, and that there is a
posibility that work will also be
gin on the Soco Gap-Hcinlooga
section of the Parkway. Represen
tative Redden got an allocation of
$150,000 for this project last year,
and the Park Service has a fund
for development of the overlook
i amp site within the Park at
Heintooga.
The 5-mile section of the Park
way from Wagon Road Gap to
Beech Gap was opened to the pub
lic last week, and while it is not
paved, the roadbed is covered
with fine gravel and packed hard.
Representative Redden said that
$13,500,000 is being sought
through the President for comple
tion of construction of the Park
way to Asheville. The plan is for
the money to come from next
year's appropriations.
Tommy Curtis is leaving tomoi

will spend a week as the gue:f of
