That is the picture of 205 Appalichin Mountain counties, a side of the picture not often seen by tourists and others fascianted by the "quaint" lives of the natives of the mountain regions and North Carolina. It is a vivid side-light of the Nat- iwial Emergency Council's picture of the south as a great region needing so many things for development. It is an accurate picture, for it is drawn by Dr.

Alva Taylor. Nashville socio- logist and educational director of the Save the Children Fund. This fund since 1931 has reached 50,000 children in the mountain re-1 gions, bringing welfare services, food,) clothing, and simple medical help in regions where no other welfare organization penetrates.

Welfare workers who travel hundreds of miles into the hills where the "traces" are mere paths half- obliterated in the brush, tell of children walking miles barefoot on snow and ice to get to school. Thousands of such children have been given the demnation to ignorance and illitearcy. The reports of such welfare workers tell a tale of squalid helplessness that includes children bruoght into the world without a doctor's services, old flour sacks their only layette, sent shoeless to school if indded a school is available, condemmed to a life of hillsides, deprived of medical care in illness, and even of an undertaker's services in death. Half of the farms in the 20j-mountain county area. Dr.

Taylor found, are of less than 50 acres. A fourth of them arc less than 20 acres. The average of cultivation land is nly seven acres per adult male worker. Three fourths of the crop land has a slope of 40 per cent, or more, and and "where there is poor land, there are poor people."
