A Record
Audience
One of the largest audiences
ever to assemble in Haywood coun
ty packed the auditorium at Lake
Junaluska Friday night to hear
Evangelist Billy Graham.; Many
of the 2,000 seals in the auditorium
Were taken three hours before
time for the services. Hundreds
stood around the walls of the
auditorium, . while scores filled
benches on the lawn around the
auditorium. Conservative estimates
were that between 3500 and 4000
attended the services.
A song service under the diroer-J
tion of Dr.'CyruS Daniel, director
of music, began 35, minutes earlier
than the scheduled 8 o'clock serv
ices. ' ' ' "
Parking space was at a premium,
with a. half dozen officers packing
vehicles into every nook and Corner
on the lots about the auditorium.
Within ten minutes after the
services were over, the auditorium
was emptied, and steady streams of
cars poured from the lots.
Dr. II. G. Allen, superintendent
of the Lake, recognized the Evan
gelist's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Several Rural Projects
In Haywood Now
Nearing Early
Completion.
Telephone workmen are pushing
to completion two major rural pro
jects in Haywood one, in the Balsam-Hyatt
Creek area, and the oth
er in Fines Creek.
Within a few weeks, more than
100 telephones will be put into ser
vice from the Balsam-Hyatt, Creek
section, J. Lovell Smith, district
manager, announced today. This
project is costing about $28,000,
and workmen are now connecting
instruments on the newly strung
lines. '
Other crews 'are busy pushing
the linos into the Fines Creek area,
which will be the longest span in
the rural areas in tlWs section of
the state. The Fines Creek project
is fifty per cent completed, Mr.
Smith said, and 79 telephones
should be in service by September
30, he explained, I
The crews of workmen have the
wires strung on. poles down into
the Fines Creek area. The niost
distant phone will be about 25 miles
from Wayncsville.
The Fines Creek project is cost
ing about $34,000, Mr. Smith said,
as he paid special tribute to the
citizens of the area, who cleared
the right-of-ways for the poles. "I
have never seen people more co
operative, and better to work with,"
he continued, as he told of , how
they cleared the right-of-ways of
all growth so workmen could get
in and erect the poles for the cable
and wires.
Not long ago the 28 telephones
of the Francis Cove area were con
nected at a cost of $14,000, Mr.
Smith said.
As to the - proposed Jonathan
CrreW'. -Uwx . ,Mr. Smiths fcUi - the
local ' office was crowded to the
maximum, and he expected the
Jonathan Crook project would have
lo come when the new building
was completed, and more equip
ment available to handle the ser
vice from that area.

Academy Street Prop
erty Bought For Site
Of Modern Telephone
Building
Waynesville is scheduled to gat
a dial telephone system, and a new,
modern telephone building when
possible.
This was Jthe statement of J.
Lovel Smith, district manager, to
The Mountaineer today. , -
Mr. Smith said the company now
owns a lot 100 by 180 feet oil
Academy Street, which will be th
site for a modern building for th
dial system and local offices.
Building restrictions, and short
age of materials essential to con
verting over to dial makes it Im
possible, to set a definite date for
starting either project, Mr. Smith
said.
"We want to get the project
underway just as soon as practical,"
he Said. "We want to get the sys
tem in Waynesville enlarged in
order to take care of the many
people on the waiting list for tele
phone service," he continued.
The Waynesville office now has
2750 telephones, and a number on
the waiting list.
The lot on which the telephone
building will be erceted was part
of the Oak Park, property, and
faces the Baptist church. No
amounts were announced as to the
price paid for the lot.
Mr. Smith would not give a hint
as to when he thought work would
get underway. It is understood the'
dial system will not be installed
until the building is erected to
take care of the equipment.

The Subject Is 'Rural Churches and Soil Conservation
Church Leaders Impressed
With Haywood's Program
For Ifaral Development
' By CAROLYN WILLIAMS
Methodist ministers from nine
Southeastern states contentedly
sampled Haywood county hospital
ity Saturday as they viewed the re
sults of the three-year old Com
munity Development Program.
They went away amazed and in
spired. They 'also went away convinced
if they needed any convincing
of the effectiveness of "less preach
ing about fire and brimstone and
more preaching about lime and
phosphate.".
Farm, church and civic leaders
of Haywood county joined forces
three years ago in a Community
Development program that has re
placed broomsage and poor farms
with rich, green, productive hill
sides. Roads have been improved.
Schools have been enlarged and re
modeled. Churches have been re
built and bautifled. The people
are happier and more economical
ly secure. And you couldn't buy
an acre of land in the county for
less than $1,000, even If you could
find someone who could be talked
into selling. i

county as part 01 the Rural Church
program directed by the Rev.
