Area Growth j:
Impresses j
V. P. Nixon
By W. CURTIS RUSS
"I had no idea that Western
North Carolina had developed so
much in the past few years."
Vice President Richard M. Nixon
said as he rested in one of the
luxurious rooms of Lambuth Inn
just before dinner last night.
"One has to get off the main
highways to realise just what
there is to this vast seenic area.
"Of course you get this in
vigorating mountain air any
where in the mountains." he said
as he took a deep breath, "but
for such developments as Lake
Junaluska. Montreat. and Ridge
crest you have to get o(T the main ?
highways." '
"I have met much larger aud
iences today than I had expected,
and certainly have never seen
friendlier groups than I have
been with today. It has been (
an inspiration, and I hope to
come back sometime to revisit
each of the assemblies.''
The Vice President made his j
way. still talking, to the end of |
the hall to get another look at
the lake and cross.
"The large cross on top of ; (
the hill overlooking the lake was
truly an inspiration?a perfect
setting for such a place as Lake '
Junaluska," he said, looking out (
through the trees on I.ambuth
hill towards the cross.
Mr. Nixon went on to mention
the many new buildings at the
lake and continued. "I have noted
new hotels, motels and tourist
places all through Western North
Carolina. This Is a wonderful
country?" He looked again at
the cross, and was standing there |
just looking, when a secret ser
vice man came In and said he (
thought they had better go down
to dinner in order to keep on v
schedule.

District CDP Council 1
s
Is To Be Organized c
Haywood County has been asked i1
to send representatives to a meet- :1
ing at the Battery Park Hotel in 1
Asheville Tuesday morning, called , >
to organize a district CDP council. 11
The main function of the new
council at first would be to set up f
rules and regulations concerning J
judging in the annual community t
development contest in Western
North Carplina. t
Vice President Hichard M. Nixon
told an overflow audience at Lake
Junaluska Sunday night that the
churches can play an important !
role in combatting Communism;
bringing about permanent world
peace; bringing about better labor
management understanding, and
helping "create a climate of under
standing and good will" which is
essential to carry out the Supreme
Court's school desegregation de
cision.
Mr. Nixon said, "Communism has
been and remains Godless materia
lism. Atheism is the very heart j
of their system. Their persecution j
of religion has been cruel and un
sparing . . . Communism is morally i
wrong because it denies human ;
dignity and the rights of mankind.
"There is a vital difference be
tween political neutrality and
moral neutrality in the present
conflict of ideals. . .
"Here is where the stern moral
judgments of our religious bodies
can do so much to clarify the
thinking of the confused. We do
not wnat or expect organized re
ligion to back the foreign policy
af the United States as such. Hut
when church leaders speak out on
the great issues of religious free
dom and its denial under Com
munism. and on the dignity and
'ights of man, in contrast to the
tyranny of the totalitarian state,
diey focus attention on the deep,
mderlying moral issues which are
>o important in this contest for the
<ouls and minds of men."
Mr. Nixon, in discussing foreign
aolity and foreign aid, pointed out: !
Giving must be motivated by
Christian love ... A related great
moral issue which affects Ameri
?an policy is the struggle for world i
Hace. The task is enormous and
he w ork is not done.
"The churches ean help in 1
trengthening the will for peace
md especially the will for sacrifice
or peace ... Those who will not
,vork for peace must face the cruel
?c ality of war."
In speaking of labor-management
?elations, Mr. Nixon told the Lake
lunaluska audience: "Our country
\ould benefit enormously if under
t.inding could replace resentment,
ind if partnership and cooperation

Highlights
Of Nixon's
Visit Here
Vice President Nixon and his
party arrived at I,amhuth Inn
shortly before 6 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, and went immediately
to the seeond floor where he met
a local committee in the Li
brary.
He rested briefly in the room
prior to dinner, stopping long
enough "for all the pictures the
host feels there is time for", he
explained.
People began gathering at the
auditorium shortly after 5:30,
and by 7:30 there were but few
seats left. .Many people waited
outside the auditorium to get a
close-up look at the vice presi
dent, and missed getting a seat
inside. The benches and win
dows of the auditorium wrre
filled. Many folk sat in their
cars rather than stand.
As Mr. Nixon arrived at the
auditorium, he was greeted by a
large throng, and he surprised one
little boy by stopping and shaking
his hand.
One of the vice president's first
remarks on arriving at the audi
torium was to romment on the
beauty of Lake Junaluska. A
highway patrolman in the party
told Mr. Nixon; "It's also a good
place to fish."
Walking to the rear of the audi
torium to the room behind the
? tage. the vice president greeted
one little girl standing wistfully
by a tree, and then stopped a mo
ment to pose for another girl hold
ing a box camera. However the lat- ,
ter had no flash attachment and
Mr. Nixon observed: "You have no
bulb, so you might not get a pic- i
ture. You'd better take a picture
when he does" (indicating a near- '
by Mountaineer photographer).
In the 1952 presidential cam
paign an enterprising press '
photographer took a picture of
the Democratic candidate, Adlai
Stevenson, showing him with a
large hole in the sole of his shoe.
Apparently, top men in U. S. 1
public office have learned from

Few Convention Fireworks
Is Smathers' Prediction
!> AGNES FIT/HUGH SHAPTER
Staff Writer
"Not nearly as exciting a con
ention as We had four years ago,"
s the prediction of Sen. George
imathers about the Democratic
lational convention opening next
reek in Chicago
The Senator, who Is here visit
ng his parents, Judge and Mrs.
'rank Smathers, for a "breathing
pell" before continuing to Chi
ago, feels that Adiai Stevenson
las the presidential nomination "in
he bag"?and that Senator John
Cennedy of Massachusetts. 39
ear-old war veteran, will become
he vice presidential nominee.
He also told the Mountaineer
hat he anticipates no furor over
idoption of a civil rights plank in
he Democratic platform.
Senitor Smathers will address
he convention on its opening day
in a plea for continued Demo
cratic control of Congress. He is
Senate chairman of the Democratic
campaign committee, which has
the primary duty of furthering the
candidacy of Democratic nominees,
especially those who are seeking
re-election.
Senator Kennedy, a good friend
of Senator Smathers. is his choice
for the vice presidential race for
three reasons, he said, all adding
up to the fact that Stevenson and
Kennedy's qualities are mutually
complementary. What Stevenson
may lack. Kennedy has. he said.
Kennedy is a Roman Catholic
and could win the votes previously
lost by Stevenson because of his
divorce. This is especially impor
tant in the big industrial areas of
the East a"d in California.
Kennedy is not only a veteran

Minority Of Children
Receiving Salk Vaccine,
County Physicians Report
Dr. How ard Smith, president J
of the Haywood County Medical
Society, said that the records
showed as. of this morning that
5104 Haywood children had re
ceived the first shot of Salk vac- j
cine through the schools, plus an 1
estimated 2,000 through doctors' j
offices, out of an eligible esti
mated 18.000. The number who ,
have received the second shot is
unknown.
lie estimated there are approxi
mately 5.000 pre-school children in
the county and 9,000 school chil
dren, with 4,000 others through
age 19 On this basis approximate
ly one out of every three persons
eligible for the shots has had them I
??which he termed as an "alarm- ]
ingly low" ratio.
The doctors in cooperation with
the health department have set
up clinics for giving the polio
shots, starting August 8. These
will be held on Wednesdays, Aug
ust 8, 15, 22 and 29 at the Haywood
County Health Center from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
The Haywood Medical Society
has worked out a list of questions
and answers which they feel would i
be of interest to the parents of the |
county. The Doctors urged the im
portance of each child having the j
polio shots immediately.
1. Is the Salk Vaccine safe?
Yes. Experience following the j
use of the Salk vaccine in over j
20,000,000 individuals has proven
it to be one of the safest vaccines
now in use. Stringent tests insure
this safety.
1. Ilow effective is the Salk vac
vine?
The vaccine was approximately
80 per cent effective in preventing
paralytic polio in 1955. The un
vaccinated child is five times more
likely to get polio than is the child
who has received the vaccine.
3. What is the full schedule of
vaccinations?
One vaccination, followed.by an
other injection at least two weeks
