! Set For Canton
The directors of the Western;
North Carolina Tourist Association
yesterday painted a bright picture
of the 1950 Western North Caro
lina tourist season, calling U me
best since before the war.
They also re-elected all their
principal officers at their fall meet
ing at the State Parks Commis
sion offices.
The individual directors report
ed on the business picture in their
home counties.
These reports were assembled
to give an overall picture for the
region's business. .
There were no reports on the
business done by individual tourist
facilities. , , .
The WNCTA attributed this
increased prosperity to; the wide
spread pre-season advertising and
publicity broadcast by the cham
bers of commerce in individual
Western North Carolina towns and
cities, the work of the State Ad
vertising Division, the newspapers
of the region, and the WNCTA it
self.
And to the Cherokee drama "Un
to These Hills," which closed its
inaugural season last Labor Day.
The directors re-elected:
James B. Myers of Bryson City,
president; and Paul Hyatt of
Waynesville, vice-president.
Elected to the Association's exec
utive committee were Mrs. J. B.
Tweed, Madison county director,
M. L. Taft, the new director for
Asheville and Buncombe County,

The exhibit opened Wednesday
morning, and will be open until
after six o'clock this afternoon.
The quality of the exhibits are
much better than last year, Mr.
Nesbitt said, and the interest of
the public indicates a deeper ap
preciation of the efforts of those
staging the exhibits the FFA, '4-H
Club, Future Homemakers, and
Veterans Farmer Training groups.
James Richard Boone is president,
and Henry Caldwell, vice-president;
Joseph L. Boone, secretary-treasurer,
and Mr. Nesbitt advisor.

Under Expansion Plan
As part of an expansion program
inaugurated several years ago, the
congregation of the First Baptist
church have1 voted to purchase the
home of Dr. and Mrs. N. F. Lan
caster on Central Avenue for a
parsonage.
The B-room house which adjoins
the church and has served as a
parsonage for many years is being
converted into Sunday School class
rooms. The expansion Was necessitated
by' the steady and continued
growth of the Sunday School, un
der the direction of Frank Kirkpat
rick, superintendent.
The church in conference on
Monday night heard the Rev.
Broadus E Wall, whom they have
called as pastor, explain his pro
posed program. The heads of the
various departments of the church
gave reports as to their needs and
plans for expanding the work.
Rev and Mrs. Wall plan to move
here from. Chester as soon. as the!
newly acquired parsonage is avail
able. '
The plans of converting the par-
sonage into classiooms has been'
discussed by officials of the church
for several years. The additional ,
classrooms will he put into use
