Richland Baptist
Holding Revival
A revival is in progress at the
Bii.htnrf Rantist Church, with the
Retiring Park Director A, E.
Demaray told a Joint Tennessee
North Carolina group, meeting
Monday in Gatllnburg and Tues
day .at Helntooga Ridge, that full
development "of tttr'Wrar Stnoty
Mountains National Park "is a mat
ter of generations".
He explained, however, that pres
ent development has reached the
point where "We need more money
to take care of Increased use". Call
ing upon the people to make Con
gress aware of the need, Mr. Dem
aray said, "We heed camp grounds,
comfort stations, and water facil
ities, and we are proceeding to de
velop them wherever possible."
In continuing, "Dirctor Dem
aray compared the Soco Gap de
velopment to that of Gatllnburg,
and he advised the North Carolina
Commission not to repeat "Gatlin
burg's mistake"; the creation of a
bottleneck at a park gateway.'
Conrad L, Wirth, who succeeds
Demaray on December 8th, also
addressed the group, He assured
everyone that the new administra
tion would mean "no major
change" in Park policy which, he
explained later, was that of creat
ing a wilderness area for future
generations., -
Wirth also promised that the
mistakes of World War II "in which
we cut ourselves without being ask-1
ed to" would not be repeated. The j
result, he added, was a consider-1
able deterioration of lands admin-1
istered by the Park Service. '
A series of field trips was made
by the two state commissions, with j
Heintooga Ridge, Bryson City, and
the Deep Creek area listed as North
Carolina stops.
As part of their two-day tour, and business session In the Smokies, t' he party visited the new section of the Parkway Tuesday,' and then
i-- continued on to Heintooga, down through Round Bottoms, and to Bryson City for lunch, Shown here, loft to right: John C. Prqston,

' National Park officials got "an

visited Mile High Overlook, on the
Parkway near Soco Gap.

arrival of the official party, a car
from New York drove up, and the

the view. . '
the couple unaware of ' the of

of Park men, continued to scan the
landscape, and then suddenly, the
young lady exclaimed:
"This view, I believe, is far su
perior to that from Clingman's
Dome." ,
Her escort agreed.
Arthur E. Demary, director of
the National Park Service, smiled,
and-looked about, as he asked:
"Was that a planned act, or was
It just a coincidence?"
He was assured by all the Hay

Changes Necessitated By
Technical Points in
Statues Governing
Such Bonds.
Officials and their attorneys to
day unraveled a mass of red tape
relative to the school bond election.
At the bottom' of the heap they
found, the election would have to
be held about one or two weeks
later than first thought.
It looked this morning as if the
new date would be about December
first. The xact date will be de
termined at I special meetine of
the board of commissioners on Oc
tober 29th. .
Officials have been in constant
contact with the bonding attorneys,
and it was found that certain sta
tues governing the sale of bonds
called for' longer time on this
amount, than had been anticipated,
The board of commissioners an
nounced .this morning that the
county attorney, W. R, Francis, to
gether with J, R. Morgan, are
working with the bonding attorneys
in order to get the legal details
completed In the shortest time pos
sible... v-w,'.r.w.',. ..
The bonding attorneys held that
since Haywood has two school dis
tricts Haywood and Beaverdam,
and since both would participate in
the county-wide election, " it was
necessary to go back and get a full
report, and resolutions of the Bea
verdam set-up. This required some
time, and added to the necessary
lapse of time na required by 'the
present laws governing bunds sales
and elections.
The two, attorneys pointed out
that each step of the proceedure
Is being carried out under the sup
ervision of the bond experts. "Fol
lowing such course will save much
time and money when , bonds are

Hanger Predicts Color Eo
De Hi Best This Weekend
Mother Nature's annual fall color
show is on, with Forest Rangers
predicting the peak this week-end
and next.
: What appeared several weeks
ago might be a dull color season,
has turned into one of the most
brilliant, and colorful in years.
According to Parkway Ranger
M, J, Becker, the Wagon Road Gap,
and Pink Beds will be at their best
this week-end, and the colors are
"out of this world,"
The ranger was most enthusias
tic, and said: "It surpasses all I've
ever seen, Be sure to tell the pub
lic to drive on down Highway No.
276 to the Pink Beds."
The Soco Gap area will also be
at the peak this week-end and next,
Ranger Bicker said.
Many motorists going to Mile
High Overlook last week-end, were
somewhat disappointed at the ap
parent luck of color. By Tuesday
the picture had changed complete
ly, with gorgeous colors : every
where, especially on the Wolf
Laurel and Long Branch slopes.
Ranger Becker predicts that the
best color will be seen In the Soco
Gap area, and along the Parkway
from the 21st to the 27th.
Another spot tliut is fast becom
ing a mocca for those who enjoy
color is the Beech Gap area in
Sherwood Forest. Ranger Becker
suggested that motorists drive to
the Parkway gale at Beech Gap,
und then walk along the Purkway
through the tunnel and out to the
Court House ridge A walk of
about 3 miles, for a colorful view of

No Hearing
Planned On
Dog Issue
Chairman of the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners C. C. Francis,
announced today that very few peo
ple had expressed any interest in
the question of appointing a dog
warden for Haywood County and
that under the circumstances no
public hearing on the matter would
be called.
The question came up recently
in connection with a new state law
which leaves the appointment 6f a
dog warden to the discretion of the
Individual county. Mr. Francis had
announced that some sheep raisers
were unhappy about alleged kill
ings of sheep by dogs, and he prom
ised a hearing if the public desired
one to determine whether or not a
dog warden should be appointed.
In summing up, Mr. Francis said.
"The subject has been very quiet."
