The paving program of several

as the area at the base of the
cross.
Dr. Allen said plans were ready

opposite the auditorium. The ten
tative plans are to have the build
ing completed by next season.
Excavations are underway in
making a parking lot for 20o cars
back of the Terrace Hotel. This lot
will be used for both the hotel and
auditorium. .
Work of cutting timber from 200
acres of the Assembly property is
also underway, and white pine
seedlings will be planted on 150
acres, Dr, Allen pointed out.
All this work is part of the pro

Kiwanis Club Supports
School Expansion After
Hearing Jonathan Woody
David Hyatt has been named
chairman of the annual polio
campaign for the . Waynesville
area. Mr. Hyatt served as gen
eral chairman for four years, and
is vitally interested in the Polio
Foundation jvork. ' The quotas
will be assigned on November
29th, at a regional meeting of
all the area west of Buncombe.
The meeting will be at the Townc
House. Hugh Rogers is general
chairman of the program. The
fund raising campaign will begin
in January. Last year Haywood
exceeded the $15,000 quota by
$7,000.
Without a dissenting vote the
Waynesville Kiwanis Club voted to
support the school expansion pro
gram alter hearing Jonathan
Woody, well-known banker, discuss
the subject at the weekly dinner
meeting the group Tuesday night.
Guest 'speaker Mr. Woody told
the. Kiwanians that "Children can't
wait; they are one crop that never
falls!" '.'' ; ' :v V
At , the beginning of his talk
which, was introduced by Bob Win
chester and which took place in
the Pine Room of Patrick's Cafe,
Mr. Woody allowed himself a mom
ent to congratulate the newly
formed Kiwanis Club and pledged
the support of the Rotary of which
he is a member "in the achieve
ment of our common goal." Then,
without further delay he plunged
into his talk about "our most ur
gent common goal a decent school
system."
Most of his time was devoted to
proving with figures the ability of i
the people of the county to should- j
cr the burden of the necessary
bonds. He' predicted that the aver-'
age interest rate' of the bonds vot-l
ed would range from 2.5 to 2.6 per- j
cent from beginning to maturity.
He stated: "Haywood County and
Waynesville are considered good
investments because of the diver-
' sified industry here. The addition
al tax burden imposed by thesn
bonds would scarcely be noticed."
From a discussion of the financ
ial feastibility of the project, Mr.
Woody turned to a brief but pow
erful word picture of the over
whelming need of immediate im
provements.' "We brag about our tobacco
crop," he said, "but we never men
lion the fact that Bethel school
has onlv one drinking fountain and
it is in the basement of a three
story building.
