On Our Hopes For The ParK * GOveffior Luther Hodges and A. [i. Gra ham, chairman of the State Highway Com mission. have ijersonally appealed to the Park Service to improve Highway 441 from Cherokee to Newfound Gap. \V? are happy that our state officials are taking due recognition of the urgf it need for immediate improvement of the only high way oi?4he North Carolina side leading in to the heart of the Park. The jte-year-old road was designed and conifruet >1 back in an era when 15 miles an houtHvas considered a reckless speed. The cars, trucks and buses were of much lighter weight then, and certainly far fewer travel ing on that section of our highway system. The impairs of just normal wear and tear on the road has not been maintained, and hence the whole section of highway has de teriorated faster than the average highway. Smujty Park officials have for some time termed fhe road as dangerous, and in need of reconstruction. The Park Service took over th?y road from the state with the un derstrindiwg that they would keep it in good repair. That phase of their development pro grant, like many others, has fallen by the wayskh), and thus leaves those of us who are so concerned about the development of the Park," still hpping, and all the while our de gree of .disgust rises and rises. Now tfiat our state officials have joined in on th? tequest for improvement of 441, we may get what we should have had years ago ?any wily it gives reason for adding to the hopes'-we have maintained throughout the years. /yt Should Know Better By Now Experts in the field of prison work ex|?ect a certain amount of unrest and trouble from prisofieils about this time of year ? and early summer. Itight now many of the prisoners will risk everything up to their lives to make a break for freedom in order to be from behind the bars on Christmas Day. In early summer, they take advantage of fruits, and vegetable crops, and the weather, to make good their escape, because they can live in the woods for days without having to be seen. Handling prisoners is a big task, because there are so many different types of person alities, temi>eraments, and degrees of crim rilfWIiTlTl the group. Some prisoners will take . pytiishment, while others rebel anil cause untold trouble. Prison officials are lcuniiiip how to cope with the situation, and in turii prisoners should by now learn how useloss. it is to try and escape from prison, or the fulfs of the institution in which they are lodged.

December 211. 11I5I VN. . A There's No Place Like The Mountains ? Summer Or Winter Tis interesting, away up here in the moun- j tains to read of the sleet and 5-inch snow storm which hit down in Kastern Carolina. Motorists around Raleigh and Chapel Hill found the going tough, and perhaps many of them, as they fought to keep their vehicles on the slick highways, gave a thought for the poor mountain motorists. But their sym pathy was wasted, as the highways in this area remained free of ice and snow, except j in some of the higher gaps in the area. * Sounds Encouraging Winter as yet hasn't slowed construction of US 2.1-441 in Jackson County from Cowee (Jap to Dillsboro and about 80 |x-r cent of the grading on the project has been finished, ac cording to S. T. Usry. resident highway en gineer. If construction continues according to schedule, the engineer predicted the 9.42 mile link, which is a tie-in for the completed stretch from Franklin to Cowee Gap, will be ready for paving in the summer of 1955. Structures on the Jackson project also are about 80 per cent completed, Mr. Usry said. | These include two I-beam bridges, an arch bridge, and four culverts. j Look Out, Indians Th?' federal government is working on eventual withdraw! of all government ser vices to the Cherokee Indians in Western North Carolina, but the tribe will be con sulted before it is put into effect. However, the report of this decision says, 'In the in terest of economy certain services furnished by the Bureau of Indian Affairs are being turned over to private interests who will sup ply them through contracts with the govern- j ment." Free enterprise is a wonderful thing. The one certain fact in history, however, is that the shame of America in the long story of its mistreatment of the Indians reflects no credit on the doctrine of free enterprise. The whole reason for the Bureau of Indian Af fairs has been to throw some safeguards between the Indians and those who stole their lands and debauched their tribes. Undoubtedly, the "private interests" now brought into the picture may be entirely dif ferent from, those private interests which pitilessly preyed upon the Indians long ago. It is still a fact that anybody looking for a bad example of free enterprise can nowhere find a more horrible example than those en- 1 terprisers whose purpose was to cheat the Indians of the last scraps of their heritage i in America.-?Raleigh News & Observer. Increased Travel On Bath Sides Of Us Travel in the Smokies continues to show a definite trend upward. Even in the fall months, the travel counts show an increase over the same months of last year. From Ranger Ted Seely of Pisgah Nation al Forest, we learn that the annual report for travel through Pisgah will be encourag ing, and will show a substantial increase. The figures are still being computed, but it now appears that Pisgah will have a record showing a "banner year". With travel in creasing on both sides of us, there is proof again, that this area is definitely going for ward, and those who prepare for the busi ness are the ones who will get the major part.

Highland Flings ; By Bob Conway ? ? . - ' . ? * _. I Ever since the ending of the War Between the States the facts concerning this great conflict have been so distorted, notably by Northern writers, that some Yan kees have been led to believe that the North actually won the war. Their propagandists have gone on to assert also that Lee surren dered to Grant at Appomattox, which, as any Rebel knows, is di rectly contrary to the facts. Here's the way it really hap pened, as related by a Dallas atuhor: "After chasing the Union army all over the map, the exhausted j Confederates pulled up at Appo mattox, planning to wipe out the Yankees next day, march into ' Washington, and raise the Stars i and Bars ove rthe White House. "General Lee was resting at the town's courthouse when in walked General Grant, ready to surren der. Lee took the unimpressive i Uoion general to be an orderly, sr he gave him his sword to polish Astonished. Grant took the sword thinking Lee had surrendered in stead lie even thanked Lee fo surrendering, and being a true Southern gentleman. Lee couldn't go back on his word." As *Lynn Hrnline. daughter of I Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Henline n' ' North Canton Road, started to en tertain two visitors last Sundar night, her father remarked: "She's loaded with Little More iokes." After proving the point wit*- ( four or five anecdotes, Lynn said "Here's another joke I'm loaded with." Lvnn proved the point with fon er five anecdotes and then, befoe telling another one, she said "Here's another one I'm loaded with."

(AP)?Po lice helped a truck driver get a load of tires and office machines out of a ditch, then arrested him on charges of stealing both the truck and cargo. Empty Mail Boxes Daily During Rush From now on until Christmas, holders of boxes at the Waynesville postoffice are asked to call for their mail each day, if possible, to keep boxes from "overflowing," according to Postmaster Enos Boyd. The boxes are not large enough to handle the Christmas mail load unless they are emptied daily, he added. i Mr. Boyd also deminded the pub lic that Christmas cards sent with only two-cents postage must not J be sealed or contain a message and cannot be forwarded. A three-cent stamp must be used if the card bears writing (other than signa ture) or is to be forwarded. The postmaster also pointed out that Christmas cards sent to chil-| dren, who do not ordinarily re- | ceive mail, should be sent in care i of their parents or guardians. Street addresses should be used I when known, Mr. Boyd said. To handle Christmas mailing this Saturday, the Waynesville postoffice will remain open until 5:30 p.m., while the Hazelwood postoffice will be open until 5 o'clock Reading Time HARTFORD, Conn. <AP??Edwin E. Smith, Springfield. Mass., Eng lish teacher, told the New England Assn. of Teachers of English that most high school students don't read outside the classroom because: "During November. December and January there are football games. Then the students paint scenery, play -the piano, stand up on the stage and shimmy and shake and sing Ricochet Romance: and it's all wonderful. Then they must watch television and they tell me they have Jobs in the afternoon and evenings. It's no wonder they don't read."
