OF EASTERN HALF
Survey of 13 States Shows
Optimistic Outlook for
Small Towns Tourist
Trade, Crops Going Good
By PAUL H. KING
United Press Staff Correspondent
ALBANY, N. Y. (UP) Small
communities appear to be leading
the way to recovery In the eastern
half of the United States.
A United Press survey extending
over 3000 miles In eastern, southern
t and middle-western states by auto
mobile, disclosed:
1. Increasing business, especially
In small cities, towns and villages.
3. A sharp upturn In tourist trade.
3. Prospects of good crops In the
event of favorable weather.
Thirteen States Covered.
The survey covered 13 states New
York, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsyl
vania, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
West Virginia and New Jersey.
From New York city down the
coast to Memphis, Tenn., encouraging
"bright spots" marked the business
' picture. In the TV A area near Knox,
ville, Tenn., the population already
has begun to hail the "end of the
depression."
On a Saturday afternoon in Knox
vllle the principal business street,
although, extremely narrow, was Jam
med. Shoppers crowded stores. Good
cheer and confidence reigned.
Gasoline stations, the sandwich
shops and other roadside concessions
reported "better times."
Prices Not Worrying Farmer.
Farmers throughout the fertile
Mississippi River valley gazed upon
what promised to develop into splen
f did crops. They are more concerned
at the moment over the size of the
crop than the prices they will re
oelve.
The tour disclosed considerable
highway and building construction
Hundreds of men were employed on
highway work in the 13 states.
A worker In Virginia said he ex
pected to remain employed on high
way work until fall.
Construction of new low-priced
homes was widespread over the en
tire area. Large Saturday afternoon
crowds were present In practically
every village visited.
Merchants Report Brisk Trade.
A store owner in the rich cotton
section of Arkansas along the Missis
sippi river said his business was
the best in three years.
He added:
"The negro sharecroppers appear
to have more money. Of course, the
high water, brought on by continued
rains, has hurt some of the crops in
this area."
A sign on a Tennessee roadside
concession reflected the belief of
i many. It said:
" "The depression 1b about licked.
Spend a dime and help the fight
along."
Baby Claims "Climber" Record
KNOXVTLLE, Tenn (UP) Lloyd
Garrison, Jr., la said to be the young
est "climber" ever to reach the Chim
neys, peaks of the Smoky mountains
here. Only fifteen months old, he re
cently reached their top after a ride
on nis iatner s snouiaer ail the way.
The shrines on the islet of Eno
shlma, Japan, are sacred to the god
