  • Page 12 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 11 Save the back country WCU Chancellor H. F. Robinson said August 8 that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's half-million acres should be made more accessible to the general public by way of new roads. He said that the US Park Service owed to the tourists visiting the area, and to the people forced to vacate homes and farms when the Park was made early in this century progress allowing more people to enjoy the land and the bringing of more money [productivity] to the area. He criticized the park planners for not knowing enough about land management. Robinson is an agricultural and biological expert. The Park Service's latest plans call for constructing a road encircling the park and developing only areas in the periphery of the park. It also calls for the closing to private traffic of the transmountain highway from Cherokee to Gatlinburg, and the destruction of back country shelters. The Service is intending to keep car traffic out of the park by providing buses, and insincere campers, who tend to make their campsites bearpits, and garbage piles, out of the back- country by curtailing campers to those who can really "rough it." We believe that Chancellor Robinson was either hasty in making his remarks or made them for political reasons, because he was adressing a group of families who represent folks ousted by the Park Service. However as the case may be, we feel Robinson is wrong. The Park Service planners are simply attempting to preserve one of the few forests still standing that represent the forests which once covered the American nation from the crest of the Blue Ridges to the Mississippi, while at the same time confining future development to already partially developed areas. Peripheral development would not only help preserve that which should only be enjoyed by people who won't abuse it, but would also be a boon to local business, which cannot locate inside the park's boundaries. Robinson, however, was not specific about the areas he wanted to see developed and made accessible via paved roads, so it is impossible to know whether to criticize him specifically. However, we point out that any development at high altitudes along the Great Smoky crest, or any road building within the park would be destructive to plant and animal life, and perhaps even geologically destructive. We urge Robinson to re-examine his position. We also urge him to be more specific in his comments about matters as important as this. Robinson is politically important in this area, and residents therefore listen to him; if he didn't want to destroy the back country which the Park Service intends to preserve by its planning, one couldn't have discerned it.

She had been to visit Sandra, her married daughter, to look at some new furniture. Sandra was holding the door open as Mrs. Morgan was leaving the house. They were admiring a bird cage that Sandra had converted into an ivy planter when suddenly Mrs. Morgan slipped and fell. Her body landed on the front step with the right leg twisted and broken. It appeared that she slipped on a small rug that Sandra had placed on the floor by the door for people to clean their wet shoes. This rug was not attached to the tile floor and thus it could slip under one's foot. Mrs. Morgan sued her daughter, contending that Sandra was negligent in having kept such a rug in a place where visitors could slip and injure themselves. Should Sandra be required by the court to pay her mother for the damages she sustained because of the fall? NO. The court held that Sandra did not breach any duty owed her mother. Mrs. Morgan was a •'social guest" in Sandra s home. It is a well established general rule that the only duty a host has to a social guest is not to injure the guest by willful, wanton, or gross negligence An exception to this general rule is when the host has knowledge of a dangerous condition, and the guest does not. a duty is owned on the part of the host to either warn the guest or to make the condition reasonably safe Here Sandra knew that the rug was on the floor and that it was unattached: however, there was no evidence she knew prior to the fall, that the rug created a dangerous condition. To the contrary, the rug had been placed by the door every time it had rained. On a prior occasion. Sandra s two-year old daughter had fallen near the door but Sandra did not realize that the loose rug had caused the fall, if it did do so. On the occasion in issue here all parties, including the two small children, walked on the rug in entering the house and all but Mrs. Moraan exited without incident. Based on a decision of the Court of Appeals of Texas.
