Facts To Be Considered Reports from all agencies predict 1953 as a banner travel year. And according to actual counts thus far this year right here in this are^the predictions are running true to " Tjffvel through the Park is ahead of last ye^e and out at Fontana Village, actual cm tnfts show the number of visitors this year doi(^ those of last year for the same period. It must be remembered, that these are ac tual facts based on figures, and not mere pre dictions. One business syndicate, whose purpose is to give firms information on what to expect in the way of business, predicted last week that indications pointed to a probably new hi|>,h record in travel, with national parks getting a big traffic count. The same report pointed out that tourists are more choosey, and more conscious of their dollar spending. Most of them appear to be spurning luxury spots, and continued to say that competition is getting keener all the time. It is interes ing to note, right along this line, that foreign travel is up 20 per cent over last year. All these matters are worthy of serious consideration by the tourist interests right here in Haywood. Some Timely Advice On New Industry Louis V. Sutton gave his audience here Friday evening some good advice on getting new industries for a community. Among the most important factors govern ing new industry is the attitude of the peo ple of the community towards new plants, the speaker stressed. He also went on to say, that often what appears to be of minor importance, can be the veTv thing that determines whether a plant locates in a certain community. He cited two instances which recently happened in this state. One hinged on the quality of water. In one town the water did not measure up to the needs of the plant, while only 30 miles awav, on the same river, the water was satis factory. A thirty million dollar plant picked a j'te after finding that 13,000 people made applications for jobs. Their goal was 5,000 applications. 1 Mr Sutton gave some timely advice, and also gave his audience to understand that just wanting new industry is not enough? it takes a lot of hard work, and careful plan ning to induce new plants these days.

Thursday Afternoon, April 30. 1953 ? ?? ? The Other Extreme Also A Menace New York state has just passed a law mak ing it a traffic violation to drive unreason ably slow. And most motorists will agree that the slow poke is almost as much of a men ace as the speed demon. Last Sunday, an injured man was being driven to the Haywood County Hospital for treatment, and in front of the car were two slow pokes ? two cars making exactly 15 miles an hour. It was impossible to pass them in the heavy traffic, and even some horn blowing failed to get them to change the pace, and the suffering patient had to under go useless agony as the slow pokes rolled slowly along. We feel that the extremes of driving ? too fast or too slow?should feel the heavy hand of the law. Too often, a slow driver causes long linos of traffic to gether behind, and then those who will take a chance aften find themselves in trouble in trying to pass the slow drivers. Now Is The Time For Parkway Funcft Senator Willis Smith seems to have the right approach for getting additional funds from Congress for completing the Blue Ridge Parkway. The junior North Carolina senator thinks it is "penny wise and pound foolish" to fail to carry the Parkway on to completion, since so much has already been spent on the project. This Congress, however, will have to be "sold" on the plan before the requested six millions are forthcoming. And getting six millions for the project will not be as easy as it might sound. . The taxpayers of this state have spent a lot of money publicizing the Parkway, and have invested huge sums based upon the promises that the famous skyline highway would be completed as soon as possible. We agree with Senator Smith, that to let the project remain dormant will be an un wise investment for all concerned. Maybe We Could Stand Them The Louisville Courier-Journal, in com menting on the recent Now York state law against slow driving, feels that the new law will produce a series of additional traffic j?kes- -*? The Louisville parer hints that? for in stance a man driving 15 miles per hour is sure to insist that he was doing 20. And perhaps the standard joke will probably be something like this: "The patrolman forces the slow poke to the curb, and says: * "Where do you think you are not going?'" The meek reply: "Honest, officer, this is an emergency. I'm on my way to pick up my mother-in-law." A Changing Skyline Town officials now have in use, a sample of a modern street light, and it is causing considerable comment, since it spreads day light far and wide as its rays pierce the dark ness of the night. The sample light is at the corner of Main and East Streets, and it is easy to detect the difference between the old type lights and the modern version of street lighting. Officials explain that they plan to use lights similar to this one on Main Street when it is converted into a whiteway later this year. Right now workmen are busy changing power circuits preparatory to the change over, and at the same time, work is going ahead in planning for the removal of all overhead wires from Main Street. It is easy to see that the skyline along our main thoroughfare will soon take on a dif ferent look.

Views of Other Editors UP TO THOSE WHO WALK AND DRIVE The usual conclusions can be reached about the report of the Travelers Insurance Company, showing 37,600 persons killed last year in traffic. We'd be quick to say that is too many, and we'd as quickly agree that one fatality would be one too many. We could talk about recklessness and carelessness and speed and violating stop signs and driving on the wrong side of the road un til next year this time and we do not know whether we would be explaining all the fatalities or whether anvbody would be listen in" to us at the end. But there are a few known facts discovered bv the Travelers. Of the vehicles involved in fatal ac cidents: 96.4 per cent were in good mechanical condition and only 1 oer cent of them had defective brakes. Drivers with one year or rhore of driving experience killed 98 5 oc cent of the victims. Some 74 per cent were killed by oassenger cars and 21.5 per cent by commercial vehicles. A total of 37.1 per cent of the oedestrians killed were crossing In the middle of the street and 11.6 oer cent were walking along rural roads Those killed on clear davs constituted 81.1 per cent of the total. We can be sure our vehicles are in good mechanical shape. Judging from these figures that won't help out so much. We can he sure that only experienced drivers get un der the wheel and, we can kill them .lust the same. We have no control over the sun but even when it Is shining our bloody sta tistics still climb. We ar.e bound to conclude with T D. Dewitt, president of the Travelers, that the onlv persons who can solve the problem are those who do the walking and those who do the driving.?Shelby Star. A FINE NF.W ENTERPRISE FOR THE MOUNTAINS Dick Jennings, of Cashiers, has started a Trout Farm. Farmers and sportsmen will be able to buy trout to stock their streams and privately owned spring-fed ponds. This is something that has long been need lings and trout from State and ' Federal Hatcheries to stock streams that are open to the public, but this is the first time we have been able to obtain right here in the mountains trout for streams that we want to protect on our own farms and propery and for spring fed ponds that we want to protect on our own farms. If we take ad vantage of this Trout Farm, hun dreds of farmers can have spring fed ponds, stock them with these trout and go out and cafch enough trout for supper once a week all through the summer. One of the finest recreations? and for many people'the finest rec reation?is trout fishing. Hundreds of streams in the mountains with the addition of a few eight- or nine-inch trout would give good sport all summer. We understand that this Trout Farm has a deliv I ery service and will deliver the trout right to your stream. This fine new enterprise for Western North Carolina is just the kind of specialty enterprise that the Farmers Federation believes we need to develop in .our moun tain counties. This Trout Farm has both rainbow and brook trout.? Farmers Federation. Voice of the People Of all the various modes of transportation, which way do you prefer?automobile, train, or air plane? Mrs. Joe Stanelli?I don't like to travel at all, but would rather go by train if a trip is necessary. Mrs. Joe Calhoun ? I'd rather ; travel by car anytime, it takes ; more time, thereby giving one a prettier and more leisurely trip, and I think it's a great deal more comfortable. Mrs. Tom Campbell, Sr. ? Well, I've never been on a plane, and I don't particularly like trains. I'd rather travel by car because you can stop whenever you want to, see more things, and it's by far the most comfortable. Monmouth Park ranked fifth among all race tracks in the na tion In total purse distribution in 1952. The course dispersed $1, 786.645 for a daily average of $36,308.
