Reports Heard At Quarterly WNCAC Meet In Andrews Every agency reporting at the quarterly meeting of the Western North Carolina Associated Com munities on Tuesday in Andrews, showed enthusiasm and optimism lor the summer and fall. The promise of a record break- i ing iniiux of visitors to the moun tains was reflected in a series of reports made by officials repre- i senting all phases of the tourist ahd travel industry. Present were more than 150 rep resentatives from a dozen counties in, the mountain region, ranging from Buncombe to Cherokee. Visitor inquiries were reported 15 to 20 per cent ahead of the same period last year, and the re ports reflected unusual optimism for the area as a whole. Officials of the Cherokee His torical Association reported that inquiries and reservations for "Un to These Hills," the Cherokee In dian drama which opens June 25 and runs nightly except Mondays through Sept. 5, are 10 to 15 per cent ahead of last year whiph was a record season. Shows Increase They said that the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, which is also sponsored by the association, has shown a big increase in attendance during the 10 days it has been open. On the basis of a record-break ing tourist season in Florida, of ficials predicted that "Unto These Hills' 'and Oconaluftee Indian Vil lage, which opens May 14, should nave an excellent season. Charles Douglas of Brevard re ported that the Transylvania Mu sic Camp already has received more registrants than it had for the entire season last year when all records were broken. Douglas said prospects for the Brevard Music Festival, which is neld the last three weekends in August, are excellent and "we an ticipate the best season in his tory." A 56-member faculty for the Transylvania Music Camp which has made Brevard the summer 1 music capital of the South, is the 1 best that has yet been available, : Douglas said. John Parris of Sylva, president of Western North Carolina High landers, the regional promotional organization sponsored by WNCAC, reported that inquiries coming into the regional office at Waynesville are 15 to 20 per cent ahead of last year. There is every indication, he said, that Western North Carolina is going to enjoy one of its best seasons, if not the best. He reported that the 1955 issue of the Western North Carolina Va cation Map. which has been "so well received by visitors," will be available within the next two weeks. In a report on the Cherokee His torical Association's projects, Par ris said paid reservations for tick ets to the drama had been made earlier this year than in any sea son since "Unto These Hills" opened six years ago. Carroll E. White of Bryson City, general manager of the Cherokee Historical Association, reported that the association's new arbo retum and nature trails would be opqn to the public May 14 and that the recent cold snop, which did so much dam'ge to the region, did not affect many of the 18,000 shrubs and plants that had been set out. The session was presided over by Beekman Huger of Canton, vice president of WNCAC, in the ab sence of president Joe Jennings who is now living in Washington, D .C. W. Curtis Russ, director of WNCAC, attended, as did A. J. Hutchins, of the Civiian Club, Canton, along with the vice presi dent, Beekman Huger, also of Canton. Pigeon Road (Continued from page 1) delay in the decision. By using telephone, telegraph, and car, The Mountaineer was abK to get the news from the hearing into type and the paper on the streets before maney of those who attended the hearing got back into town. One man attending the hearing explained that he could not under stand right at the very last the flna. action, and had to get back to Wayncsville and buy a copy of The Mountaineer to learn all the cor rect details. Rumors were a dime a dozen with an extra dozen free through out the day in Waynesville, as sup posedly authentic news trickled back about noon. However, the facts were not publicly announced until 3:05. There is a meeting of the High way Commission April 30. but no action is expected at that time on the matter.
