WASHINGTON?The Senate has'
been dealing with the bill to ad
mit the Territory of Hawaii as the:
49th State of the Union, after re
porting it out of committee by
only one vote.
MY POSITION
I am basing my opposition to this
action now upon what I believe to
be the best interest of our coun
try. I deem it my duty to tell you
in brief why I oppose Hawaiian
statehood.
CONTINENTAL EDGE
Once American statehood is car
ried beyond the continental edge,
we have no logical place to stop j
when future requests are present- [
ed. The admission of Hawaii might j
easily be the first step in bringing |
an end to our country as we have
known it?as contiguous States. It
is difficult to see how a group of)
islands almost 2400 miles out in
the Pacific could ever feel and re
spond as a State.
SELF-GOVERNMENT

Jim Henderson is employed by
Lake Junaluska Supply.
Mr. and Mrs. Billy snetTieid ana
mother and A/lc Robert Russell
are visiting friends and relatives
here. Mr. and Mrs. Sheffield have
three children, Robert, Patsy and
Billy Jean.
They were honored Saturday
night with a supper at Mrs. Shef
field's sister, Mrs Rex Messer.
Others attending were: Mr. and
Mrs. Woodrow Roland. Mr. and
Mrs. Don Carpenter. Mr. and Mrs.
Cordell Bradley, Mr. and Mrs.
Milas Kirkpatrick. Mr. and Mrs
R. L. Russell, Mr. Sheffield and

not the issue. The islands have
really governed themselves for 1)5
years. They make their own laws.
Hawaii should be given common
wealth status, permitting them to
elect their own governor, as do
Puerto Hieo and the British Com
monwealth of nations.
ECONOMIC RESOURCES
I am advised that Hawaiii's pop
ulation is about at the bursting
point in view of its limited econ
omic resources. Its birth rate is
five times its death rate. That
would mean the excess in popula
tion would be prone to come to the
mainland.
POPULATION
Experts tell us that 100,000 more
people than can be supported by
its economy are living in Hawaii
today. The Japanese portion of its
population has risen to about 40
per cent and the total population
of Oriental origin approaches 80
per cent. Hawaii has only about
309,000 acres of tillable land, or
two-thirds of fn acre per capita.
COMMUNISM
Communism has been and still
is a factor to be considered. It is
regrettable that there has boon so
much communist activity in the
islands. The powerful ILWU (Inter
national Longshoremen and Ware
housemen's Union) is the dominant
factor in the life of the people. Jack
Hall, convicted last year under the
Smith Art, was a force in the com
munist leadership of the union.
This has resulted in considerable
strife and political instability.
While I am aware of the necessity
of being completely objective and
fair-minded in all our relation
ships with other peoples of the
world, I am of the opinion that
when all the factors are carefully
weighed the results will show that
Hawaii should not he admitted as
a State at this time.
MOTION
I made a motion last week to re
consider the vote by which the
Senate defeated by one vote the
two-thirds majority necessary to
pass the George substitute amend
ment. I have told you why I favor
some protection against interna
tional agreements, hut i also feel
that the Bricker amendment is too
rigid and would probably tie the
hands of the executive.

A set of covered containers for
food storage is a worthy invest
ment. Those made of transparent
glass or plastic will save cover lift
ing since their contents are easily
seen, and are easy to clean. Tight
covers will save money . by pre
venting waste from drying and
flavor-mingling. When you shop for
storage dishes, remember to meas
ure storage space on your shelves
and in your refrigerator and buy
containers that will fit the space.
Smokies Park Acreage
Now Estimated At 507,159
Exactly how big is the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park'.'
The newest park folder, just is
sued, gives the figure as 507,
150.16 acres. The previous folder,
[minted in 1950, said the park con
fined "approximately 505,000
jcres."
The area, of course is measured
lorizontally, not up and down the
nountains and waterfalls. If one
counted all the surfaces, probably
several thousand more acres could
t)e added to the total.
The new folder is the same sire
is the previous one and contains
ihe same pictures and map. It does
have other new information, how
ever.
For example, five campgrounds
are now listed?Chimneys, Smoke
mont, Balsam Mountain, Cades
Cove, and Deep Creek. A couple
r?f years ago there were only two.
The newest, at Deep Creek near
Bryson City, will be opened for use
about May.
The folder includes answers to
a number of other questions about
the park, such as those about for
ests, plant and animal life. ft
