FEB. 26. 1953 *3.00 In Advance In Haywood and Jackson Counties Good Bid Received On Pigeon River Highway 6.59 Miles Will Cost $1,316,000 A low bid of $1,316,172 was re ceived by the State Tuesday for grading 6.59 miles of the proposed "Pigeon River Road" in Haywood County. The State Highway Commission will meet tomorrow (Friday) morn ing to review the bid, and will either accept or reject it at that time. After the grading project is com pleted additional bids will be re quired to cover the paving contract. The A. B. Burton Company of Lynchburg, Va., submitted the low bid Tuesday. Chief Highway En gineer W. H. Rogers. Jr., stated that a total of $1,950,000 had been al lotted for the job, and that the entire sum will probably be used for the stretch on which grading bids were opened Tuesday. It is not known at this time when work would begin should the High way Commission accept the bid. Highway officials have stated in the past that a total of 380 working days had been approved for the completion of the grading project. That wouid put completion some time during the late summer of 1954. There has been considerable in terest shown in the road by offi cials and newspapers in Tennessee.

Funds for the project were allot ted by Governor R. Gregg Cherry and Governor W. Keer Scott. Cher ry made a $450,000 allocation in the closing days of his administration in 1948. Scott made two separate allocations, the last one being $1, 000,000 last May. Rollman Tells Of Peace Plan At Meeting Happy and contented people have no desire for war and the way to happiness and prosperity through out the world is through World Construction, Heinz W. Rollman, president of Wftllco Shoe Corpora tion, said Wednesday night. Mr. Rollman. founder of World Construction, outlined his program before an audience at the court house. World Construction, he said, pro poses four basic ideas that will eventually bring an end to wars: practice of the Golden Rule, pros perity. democracy, and peace. The practice of "doing to others what you would have them do unto you" has long been fundamental and requires only a change in peo ples' thinking, Mr. Rollman said. Then, explaining that prosperity is one of the surest ways of erasing discontent and hatred, he outlined his proposal for higher standards of living everywhere. "We must have five per cent of the population in the U. S.?eight million people?engaged in prac ticing World Construction," Mr Rollman said. He predicted this would not be (See Rollman Tells?Page 8) - DAR Award Winners Mrs. James R.

Building construction permits for Waynesvllle hit well over the half-million mark during 1952. Hugh Jolley, building inspector, reported today. Permits were Issued for a total of $686,300 in buildings, both com mercial and private. That repre sented a gain of some $397,685, or more than double what the figure was in 1951. The cost of the hospital addition, amounting to in excess of $400,000 is not in cluded. Several structures. including the new telephone building, the schools, and church buildings ac counted for the greatest portion of the total permits. In breaking down the figures. Mr. Jolley said that business con struction amounted to $366,450; dwellings, $278,150; additions and alterations, $32,550: private gar ages and barns. $5,650: and churches, $3,500, Three items made up the great est portion of the permits for building construction: the tele phone building ($250,000): Hay wood Motor Inn ($50,000); and the building housing the A & P groc ery store ($28,000).

In his comprehensive analysis of the program, Mr. Ray began with local needs. He stressed throughout his ad dress that a well-rounded recrea tion program that will meet the present needs and our future needs cannot be organized and put into operation over a period of a year or two. but must be a long-range program which must be well plan ned. As an illustration of this fact, he used the First National Rank of Waynesville. Born the same year the hank was organized. Mr. Ray pointed out that it takes time for such an organization to become a well-rounded business. iThe First National Bank of Waynesville re cently celebrated its 50th annivers ary). The recreation program is a business proposition on one hand, and an act of good citizenship on the other. He further stated that the plan was not new. Twelve years ago the Recreation Commission set up an act for the state that any town working within the frame-work of this law could provide play grounds, etc. Within this act. a town must have a population of 10,000 people or more, and it was at this point that he stressed the importancevof the Hazelwood and Waynesville area having a common interest in such a program. "The recreation program must be comprehensive enough to begin with the kindergarten, and include the 9-10 age gfoup. the teen age group and the adults. We must ha.e the plan upon the needs of our local people, and then as we branch out, the program will meet the needs of 95% of the tourists." (See Recreation?Page 8) Heart Fund Goal Short; More Events Announced There are just two more days of 1 the drive left and the goal for the W'aynesvllle area's Heart Fund Drive has only reached the half- | way mark, officials of the drive said. Programs that are still to be staged include a basketball game i between the Wavnesville Kiwanis and Lions Clubs, a dance al tht Armory Saturday night, and ac j tivities by Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Drives among the business men of Wavnesville also have not been completed, and some of the com mittees conducting the drive a . mong the various industries have I not turned In their funds, i But as it now stands the drive appears likely to fall short of its i goal. If the goal is met a Heart Chapter will he formed in Hay wood County; if not. then the county must depend on a commit tee In pointing out those facts this morning, officials of the commit tees stressed the fact that a Heart Chapter in Haywood County could he one of the most valuable as sets of the people here. Rules of the National Heart Foundation say that 55 per cent of the money collected In the annual Heart Fund drives mav be retained In a local ity if there is a chapter located there; if there is no chapter, the entire amount goes into a state fund. All money left in the county (See Heart Fun4--Page 8> Highway Record For 1953 In Haywood (To Date) Injured.... 11 Killed .... 0 'This information rnm plled from Record, of State Highway Patrol.)
