"The Swan" which will include sorrte scenes at Lake Junaluska. The railway station at the lake was con verted into a Hunjrarian station for the fflm, and created much interest in this area, as MGllf made the shots on Saturday morn ing. This is about three times in recent years that scenes from this immediate area have been used in makinj? some of Hollywood's liest films. : And we expect that ?s the section becomes more widely known that more use of West ern North Carolina's scenic beauties will be used. If Secretary Runs Against Morse He Will Have Tennessee's Good Wishes ? Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay has made a welcome visit to the tlreat Srhoky Mountains National Park in the past few (lays. His presence here has given park of ficials and citizen organizations interested in the park an opportunity to brief him first hand on the most pressing needs of this fed eral institution. . But aside from ids official visit, it was re called that Mr. McKay visited Gatlinburg once before. It was at the time the Governors Conference was held there and he attended as governor of the great state of Oregon. It is only natural that his admirers in this area, familiar with his outstanding record as governor and also with his record as sec retary of the interior, should find their thoughts turning toward the race next year for reelection of another Oregonian, Sen. Wayne Morse. In this connection it will be felt that, no matter how valuable his services to the na tion might prove a? secretary of the inter ior, if it should develop that he is the man ! who could retire Wayne Morse from public < life in Washington, he could not i>ossibly do ^ any greater service than to do just that. It might be suspected that the service would be as greatly appreciated by the Democrats in the Senate as by the Republicans. While at this distance from Oregon we couldn't do much by way of giving Mr. Mc Kay aid, in case he decides to challenge Morse, he will certainly have the good wishes of thousands of Tennesseans in l?oth parties. ?The Knoxville Journal.

Monday Afternoon, October 10. 1955 Haywood Has Four Fine Fire Departments Few counties in the state have better firt departments than the four towns right here in Haywood. Kach of Haywood's four incorporated towns have an active progressive, and alert depart ment, with good equipment. There are seven fire trucks in the county, all carrying modern facilities for combating any type of fire. The members of the departments spend many hours each month in practice, and dis cussion of what to do, and how to handle all types of fires. We know of one department that has a po tential great fire hazard in their immediate territory, and many an evening has been spent by the men discussing every angle for fighting such a blaze, should one break out in that particular spot. The men often have specialists to come in and give them |>ointers in different fields of fire fighting, and s'ee the introduction of new chemicals for use on fires. The departments in Haywood are geared to do a good job of protecting property. There are but a few men who are paid, and they are fuM-time employees of the depart ments. The large majority of the firemen give of their tin*' and services as a civic cause because they are interested in helping protect the property of their fellow-citizens. The observance of Fire Prevention Week always means a time when we should double check on the safety measures around our property, and see that everything is in as good condition as possible. It is fitting that the week comes at a time when fall fires are being kindled. Here in Haywood we are fortunate in hav ing the four active fire departments, they are realy to do their part in keeping fire losses low. The rest of the job rests with the laymen who also have a big job to play in a successful fire prevention campaign for 365 days of the year. Side Entrance Signs, Danger Signal The ratio of accidents per mile on North Carolina's highways is in inverse proportion to the control maintained over access: the more control, the fewer accidents. The findings were disclosed from a study made primarily to determine safety on the ?itat^'s four-lane, median strip highways. This would seem to indicate that all high ways where traffic demands are high should' he four-lane. It is obvious, however, that cost of such a mammoth project would be prohibitive. Ed Kemper, Igth division engin eer, estimates that four-lane thoroughfares cost roughly $250,000 per mile. Yet it is significant that highway access is a determining factor in accidents. It should mean more care by drivers when on double lane roads. It should also mean double caution when approaching an access road or when entering a primary highway from a side entrance. The end prodpct of the survey puts re sponsibility for safe driving exactly where it was before the survey was made: on the individual driver. It shows also that the signs erected along right-of-ways are not merely decorative. When they warn of crossroads a head, they literally jx>int out a danger point on the state's highway system. ?Shelby Star.
