A Major Asset
More than 80,000 people visited Lake Juna
luska this season. That is almost as many
people as Haywood has population.
Just imagine that many visitors, most of
them from other s ates, attending confer
ences and meetings at the Lake from June
until September.
The J 1st session at the Lake will go down
in history as the best up to now, yet indica
tions are that even next year and the next
will see an even greater influx of visitors at
the Lake.
There are several major conferences al
ready scheduled to be held at the Lake in
1955 and also 1956. Some world-wide in
scope.
In addition to the various conferences,
there is a progressive building program slat
ed for the Lake that will take the plans and
details before every Southern Methodist.
The improvemerts which will be ready for
the 1955 conference should mean an even
larger number than the 30,000 of 1955. The
Lake is one of our major drawing attractions
here, and it is growing larger and faster
than anything else in this area.

The Bonnet Reverts To Queen-Size
It was bound to happen sooner of later and
now that it comes we might as well face it
bravely?hats that are HATS are on their
way back to milady's head.
No longer can the little woman pin a few
blossoms onto a velvet remnant and sally
forth in haute couture.
Paris has spoken. The fushion designers
have uttered their fall decree. And the word
that comes from, Maxim's wears a definite
head-covering brim.
No mere wisp of patch-and-promise to
cover a part of the crown.
No further ribbons and doodads perched
on an eartop angle.
Just cloches, bonnets, calots and tooues
that not only cover the head completely but
spill off fore and aft.
One report glows with "a green calot
trimmed in rose with a billowy feather cas
cading down the neck." It's bound to wind up
in front of wherever you sit in a movie or
concert, but it's merely part of the price of
existence in a mostly feminine world.
There are, of course, two consolations: the
new hat models are all close-fitting and prob
' 'bit wofl't blow off-#Verv*thirtv-nine steps.
Ami the style is certain to last but a fleeting
season. *
It's a thought to cherish.

A Dual Responsibility
We trust the State Highway Commission
will exert whatever influence is necessary
on the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads to re
build or re-locate highway 441 from Chero
kee to Newfound Gap. Thp request for the
Highway Commission to prevail on the Fed
eral Agency to act immediately began with
the N. C. Park Commission in their annual
meeting here.
The Mountaineer, not too long ago, carried
, in this column, pictures of the deteriorating
road, which is being pounded to pieces by
a constant stream of traffic, including heavy
commercial vehicles.
There is no other way for traffic to get
from here to Knoxville, except by a long out
of-the-way route, other than over Highway
441, which means the highway carries in
addition to tourists, thousands of local cars
and commercial vehicles.
Since the road is entirely within the Park,
it is not the obligation of the North Carolina
Highway Commission to rebuild, or repair
the road. The road was deeded free to the
federal gqvernment along with thousands
of acres of land, which now constitute about
half of the Park.
The highway feeding into the Park on
the North Carolina Bide has long been a dis
grace, and the matter is becoming steadily
worse.
In the first place, the road was not tie
signed to handle the traffic which is now
forced to use the highway.
The highway commission will no doubt do
what they can to get the bad situation cor
rected, and while they are on the matter,
attention should be given to the urgent need
of completing the Pigeon River road which
would relieve congestion on Highway 441, as
commercial vehicles would prefer the all
weather, water-level route of the Pigeon Riv
er Road to the steep grade, and crooked road
up the mountain to Newfound Gap.
The highway commission has a dual role
to play in this matter which affects the en
tire western part of the state, and all the
surrounding states.
Ideas Make Jobs
Where does a job come from?
A magazine published by one of our great
chemical companies* answers that in these
words: "Unlike potatoes or apples,, a job is
not found in nature. It results from the mar
riage of a need and an Idea. Tts birthplace
is the laboratory."
Then it gives an interesting illustration
from this particular company's experience.
Twenty-odd years ago scientists in its em
ploy produced a form of svnthetic rubber
which had outstanding qualities. Yet many
were dubious as to its practical value, la'rge
ly because it initially sold for a dollar a
pound at a time when natural rubber sold
for a nickel.
Still, the company had faith in this new
product of the laboratory. Millions were
spent to develop it and find uses for it. Manu
facturing plants were built. The cost was
brought down, while that of natural rubber
rose. Finally the product caught on. and con
sumntion doubled and tripled year after year.
Today the chemical company emnlov
2f>00 men to make and sell this svnthetic rub
ber. Thousands of additional people have
good iobs in other companies which convert
the product into a long list of articles bough*
bv ultimate consumers. All that emnlovmen*
which todav contributes materially to on*
national income and our living standards
came out of the laboratory.
In short, the wav to create more iobs. a"r1
still higher livirur standards, is to keen no"
ideas germinating?and to encourage
and comnanios to take the necessary risk"
and make full use of them.
