New Set-Up
Approved By

Editor'i note?the following
warn written by Ned J. Tucker,
executive vice president of the
Chamber of Commerce, who at
tended the spring meeting of
WNCAC at Highlands on Tues
day.
By NED J. TUCKER
John Parris. president of the
Western North'Carolina Highland
ers, in a report to the Board of
directors and membership of the
Western North Caroling Associated
Communities at Highlands on
Tuesday, said that the Highlanders
organization is in a state of re
brganization and expansion. The
new area covered by the High
landers is tq include all counties
from Watauga to Cherokee.
He pointed out that in reorgan
izing the Highlanders the group
would return to the original pur
pose for which it was established.
Its functions will be limited tc) pro
moting the travel industry and
to assume certain police duties in
maintaining proper standards.
The old Highlanders organiza
tion ran into difficulties when it
was accused of getting into activ
ities covered by local chambers of
commerce.
"This was never the purpose of
the Highlanders organization as set
up by WNCAC," according to
Francis Heazel, Asheville attorney.
In the new organization setup,
Parris pointed out that the Coun
ty chapter of Highlanders will
function as a division of the ex
isting local Chambers of Com
merce. It will limit its functions
to promoting the travel industry.
There will be only one dues sched
ule and when an organization joins
the Chamber of Commerce it is
automatically a member of the
Highlanders Division. There will
not be chamber dues and High
lander dues as in the past.
The job of reorganizing the
Highlander was undertaken by the
WNCAC organization several,
months ago. Its president, William
Bcekman Huger, held a meeting
in Asheville several weeks ago for
this purpose, and another in Hon
dersonville only last week. The
new organization setup is the re
sult of the work in these meet
ings.
Due to the limited time in which I
to prepare a program for the 1956
season, it was decided that no 1
formal program would he adopted |
for this year but that the or
ganizationt set up its program for ;
1957 and get under way in early
fall of this year.
As a 1956 project, the High
landers decided to sponsor the
"100 Vacations" program of the
Colgate Palmolive-l'eet Company,
a nationally televised program in
which contestants win paid vaca
tions at outstanding resort centers.
One Hundred such vacations are
lo be given to winning contestants
in the area served by the High-'
landers. Fifteen such vacations
lave been pledged from Haywood
County.
A resolution endorsing the re- i
jort of Mr. Parr is was approved
ay YVNCAC membership, was Rc
tolved that Western North Caro
ina Associated Comihunities ap
jroves wholeheartedly the ex
lansion of the Western North Car
ilina Highlanders to include all
counties from Watauga to Chero
tee and expresses confidence the
expanded organization can more
effectively promote the travel in
dustry of the region."

ABOUT 50.000 cubic yards of earth comprising
the "toe" of a large fill on US 23-441 between
Franklin and Sylva gave way about 3:30 Monday
afternoon. The tons of earth slid down to the
valley below. The slide oeeurred about seven
I
miles from Franklin, just below Cower Gap at
the Macon-Jackson line. A bulldozer rut ? tem
porary by-pass around the dancer zone
(I'hoio by Sylva llerald).
Cowee Mountain Highway
Heavily Damaged By Slide
wantage esuinaieu ai ?/o,uuu was
caused Monday afternoon when an
earth slide ripped a 300-foot hole in
the new highway on Cowee Moun
tain i Highway 441) between Frank
lin and Dillsboro.
Approximately 50.000 cubic
yards of earth gave way at 3 p.m.
during a heavy <f)owstorm and
blocked traiTie for almost two
hours.
State Highway Department crews
opened up one lane of the highway
to traffic before dark and started
work Tuesday on relocating and fle
building the damaged route.
C. W. Lee, 14th Division highway
engineer, said he hoped that two
way traffic can be restored on the
highway within two weeks.
The engineer added that it was
fortunate that no cars were on the
portion of the road involved in the
slide. Had they been, he said, they
probably would have been plunged *
over the steep mountain side.
"Yours sincerely" comes from
the Latin "sine cere" i without
wax), a designation for Roman
sculptures which did not have de
fects concealed by applications of
wax.
