The American Peace Award brought forth 22,166 plana

the composite work of organizations, universities, etc., a single
plan often represented the views of hundreds or thousands of
individuals. The content of these plans is therefore an index

American citizens. .* ? V-N*

WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, Inc.
Nineteen Bureaus WHI Carry Out Plans For Deveiopneat of tfco
Twenty-two Counties Comprizing Mountain Recreation
Center. ---Will Benefit Resorts, Indus
- . tries and Agriculture Alike.
While there is no intention on the
part of those interested in Western
North Carolina, Incorporated, to
seperate in any way Western North
Carolina fron? the balance of the
State, the purppses and objects of
Western North Carolina, Incorporat
ed, are to to sasfst in ' every way
possible in the industrial, agricul
tural, educational and cultural de
velopment of Western North Caro-,
, Jina, to the end that it may be main
tained as the most beautiful and
desirable residential section of
North Carolina; that it may kave
its agricultural and manufacturing
industries developed to the highest
degree of perfection; and that its
educational and religious faclltles
may be of the highest type and for
the use of all the people. The cor
poration will try t6 be the eyeSj
vision and Imagination of that sec
tion of the state; and, while dealing
with the present, wjll consider con
ditions a generation or more ln 016
future and try to arrange for the
present to build and develop in the
future. It will assist iu putting the
land, the resources and people of
Western North Carolina to their
1 ' I
best use. I
In order to carry out these pur
poses, Western North Carolina, In
corported, will function through
several bureaus or. divisions, a g in
dicated in the following sketch:

There are 22 member counties of
Western North Carolina, Incorpora
ted as follows: Ashe, Avery, Bun
comb?, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba,
Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood,
Henderson, Jackson, Jackson, Madi
son, McDowell Michell, Polk, Ruth
erford, Swain, Transylvania, Watau
ga, and Yancey. While each oner ot
these 22 counties has its own par
ticular tourist attraction? . and
natural resources, which Western
North Carolina, Incorporated, will
assist them to develop, they will all
boost and work for the general de
velopment of Western North Caro
lina as awhole.
Nature has wonderfully endowed
Western North Carolina with natur
al beauty of mountains and valley
and scenery which is as 'attractive
as any to be found in any section ot
the world. With the Plue Ridge on
the East the Smoky Mountains on
the West, with the foothills ap
proaching the Ridge on the East,
there is a region known far and
wide for its beautiful - scenery,
healthful climate, pure water, and
wonderful natural recources. West
ern North Carolina does not have
the rugged bold scenery of the
Rockies or -the Alps; its mountains
are softer in contour. Its wooded
slopes to the very tops of the
mountains and Its plateaus and cul
tivated valleys are more restful to
the eye. Yet there is to b$ found
the rugged scenery, and one can
find all the wild grandeur he may
desire.
Develop Natural Resources
Western North Carolina, ' Incor
porated, desires to retain this
natural beauty while at tjie same
time developing ' the natural re
sources and. industries and' provid
ing homes for the thousands that
will be attracted to that part of the
State. In other words, Western
North Carolina, Inc^ desires to
make a regional , planning for West
ern North Carolina so that as
manufacturing pla
ricultural land.^
inns schools and?
ed, towns dev
and railways
works of man will .

The tourist industry la of oovm
one of the largest and more ' Im
portant and will mean a rery large,
number of visitors to Western
North f Carolina. At the present
time the greater proportion of vial
tors come during the months of the
summer season. It Is the belief off
Western North Carolina, Incorpor
ated, "that Western N^rth Carolina
can be made of interest to Tieltors
throughout the entire year, so that
the tourist industry will be in oper*
tion twelve months in the ^ year. It
is realized, however, that in order to
accomplish this certain thlnga mnat
be done:
Accomodations
Adequate provision must be mads
to provide accommodations for the
visitor who can afford to patronise
the highest priced hotels and % Inns, ;
but we also desire the same cordial
ity and provide accommodations for
the visitor who must be satisfied
with accommodations costing much
less i Western North Carolina, Inf>
corporated, will give suggestions and
advice in regard to location of ho
tels and inns and architectural
features of same; and will also ar
range that farm homes may make
sufh changes as are necessary to
enable them to entertain from*' two
to ten or more visitors ' during the ?
season. It is believed that if such
provision at farm , homes . can ^e
made for the accomodation .of via- .
itors at reasonable rates, fifty to . a
hundred thousand additional visit* "y
ors will be ? attracted to Western
North Carolina.
r- U wiUvSifp enable the farmer to
ofctaJiuthfc Jb*?$flt of some <* the
vat only Itt^hetef 4Mb
to entertain visitors bat giviif him
a home market for a great deal of
garden produce/ as he ought to be
able to supply his table to a fMt
extent from his own farm. Arrange*
ments are being made for a meeting
of the farm demonstration agenta
and others interested to disease the
requirements necessary to put
these farm homes in such conditio*
that they can be recommended by
Western North Carolina, Inoorporafr
ed, and the railways as ready to e* ,
tain guests.
Highway Program >
No matter how good aooommode
uous may be provided for visitors
nor how excellent the table ma^ be,
visitors will not be satisfied onlaaa
provision has been made so ' tktt
they can drive in automobiles SB?
time daring the year in and around
Western North Carolina. Our main
highways traversing Western North
Carolina must become part of trunk
system from which roads must be
ways must be ways must be weU
laid out and maintained which ? ex
tend into all parts of Western North
Carolina. Thus the Central High*
way from the East to Aaheville
should continue as * pared highway
through Waynes ville Bryson and
Murphy, land connect with a high
way to Atlanta. It 'should aleo 00*
nect at Ashevllle with a pared road
to Bums ville and Spruoe Pine, there
continue as a part of the trunk line
to Linville, Boone, Jefferson; / and
then to Abingdon, Virginia, where
direct connection would be made to
Roanoke and the Shenandoah Vat
ley Highway to the North; \
A - through , pared highway
should also be maintained from
Ashevllle . to Hendersomrllle - sad
then branch to Greenville and flpait
tanburg, South Carolina; another
branch should be down the French
Broad River to Marshall and Hot
Springs "to Knoxvllle, Tenn. 8tUl
another highway/thai should bw
paved would J>e the Hiekory lfn$
Gap Highway from Ashevllle , to
Rutherford ton And Charlotte. ' Fraan
the Aaheville Burnsville Highway
there should be another pared hJgfe
way extending via Ltnrllle FaUa to
Lake James to Marlon, where it
connects with the Central Highway;
Another pared highway shoud be
maintained from Blowing Bock In
Hickory, where It oonnecte with thn
Central Highway, and then
ttnued to Rutherfardtoa, whet* ft ,
connects with the Hiekory Ml Gap
Highway. ?
