from three hours of discussion by
the 30 commission members. They
are civic leaders, ministers, city
recreation officials, and recreation
chairmen of the individual com
munities in I lie county Commun
ity Doevclopnionl Program.
In general, the recommendations
they made would provide recreation
in practically eve ry form for peo
ple of all ayes, and for inter-community
competition in these events.
During the meeting, the word
"recreation'' thus was used in its
broadest sense to include every
form of amusement and relaxation,
besides the active competitive
sports.
The members elected the Rev.
C. L. Allen, an Aliens Creek com
munity leader, as commission chair
man. They dec ided to meet at 8 p. m.

work out the details of the com

Unlike his predecessors, how
ever, the new salesman uses no
tricks, does not depend on his per
sonality or his friends to make
his point, nor is he merely at
tempting to get an order for his
own profit.
"The idea of benefits, to the

Information From
Park Service On
Proposed Projects
Civic leaders here, and through
out the western part of the state
are elated over the recent action of
the Park Service and President
Truman's interest in theincreased
appropriation for the Parkway and
Park.
In a recent letter to Representa
tive Monroe M. Redden, it was
pointed out by Hillory A. Tolson
acting direetor, that a revision of
requested appropriations had been
made by the Park Service, and that
$13,500,000 would be sought in
the budget for completion of these
projects, much of it in Haywood
County.
Charles E. Ray, chairman of the
N. C. Park Commission, said yes
terday, "The news from Washing
ton is the most encouraging wr-
have had In a long time. W is
definitely a step in the direction
of getting some action, and the
completion program of the Park
and the Parkway underway. Those
of us in Western North Carolina
and Eastern Tennessee have looked
forward to the day when the Fed
eral Government would get right in
behind the program and complete
the projects. The fact that the In
terior Department is now making
this aggressive move is encourag
ing to all of us."
Representative Redden, in a let
ter to Mr. Ray, was also elated over
Uie "very tMlnite nd satsianfi'O"
program that has been approved
by the Interior Department, and
will be submitted to the Congress
next spring for Its consideration "
Representative Redden has been
working on this project for many
months, and climaxed his activities
by bringing the House Public
Lands Committee here for a per
sonal inspection of the area, and
a public hearing on the matter.
The letter from Mr. Tolson to
Representative Redden on the proj
ects included in the program, is
as follows:
We have requested the revision
of our preliminary estimates for
1951 to include a total of $13,500.
