During the seasons of protracted drought some of the smallest streams almost disappear, and the use of water power along their course is either abandoned or largely supplemented by steam power." From all this, it follows that a contribution to the Great Smoky MountainsNational Park fund is a help toward forest conservation, which means power conservation, which means the successful development of that immense industrial zone, the American Ruhr, which, in its turn, means enormous prosperity for both Tennessee and North Carolina. Money thus contributed is not a donation, it is an investment. Toward assuring us the Park, the Federal Government has gone far. The Committee appointed by the Secretary of the Interior to designate a Park area in the Appalachians has reported not only its satisfaction with the proposed Shenandoah National Park in Virginia but also with our own Park area and Congress has since ordered its boundaries defined. Toward that end, an army aviator is mapping the region. So far, excellent. But— There is no precedent in Congress for the purchase of Park property with Federal a Aa — ' ■''' m(Jy '■ - '.

"Great Smoky Mountains" is a 32-page brochure produced by the North Carolina Park Commission and collected by park promoter, Horace Kephart. The booklet is illustrated with many photographs by Thompson Brothers Photography and by George Masa (under the name of Plateau Studios and Asheville-Biltmore Film Co.), with descriptive captions by individuals associated with the park movement. The main essay, “Our National Park,” makes a case for a park in the Smokies due to the diversity of the region’s natural resources. While the writer mentions that the “picturesque” inhabitants and their “ancient log cabins” will be an “asset” to the park, in reality, inhabitants were moved out of the area and their dwellings destroyed.
