Says Lack of Transportation is a

Great Handicap to. Development.
Dr. Frank L. iMcVey, president of
Dean
the University of Kentucky,
Thomas P. Cooper, of the College of
Agriculture, and Judge IR. C. .Stoll re
turned .Monday from Jackson, where
they had gone too survey the property
consisting of 15,000 acres of land in
Breathitt, Perry and Knott counties,
leased 'to 'the institution by the E. O.
Rolbjnson .Mountain Fund.
Dr. McVey stated Monday that,
while the project means a great step
forward in the development of east
ern Kentucky, the undertaking of experiments in 'reforestation, farming,
horticulture and grafting, combined
with the difficulty in establishing a
real economic basis of living for the
people of the mountain districts, is a
tremendous one that requires long and
diligent concentration.
"One of the greatest handicaps," Dr.
McVey said, "is the lack of transpor
tation. This in itself is an issue that
will require long 'thought, and I feel
safe in saying that it will be a very
long time before any real developments
will be decided upon by the board,
which is composed of representatives
of the university and the foundation."
The Kiwanis Club of Jackson, will
give a banquet in honor of Mr. Robinson, June 15, and the members of
the Robinson fund board are expected
to be present at the time. It is believed that new developments that
have been passed upon by representatives of the university and the foun
dation 'will be presented in addresses
by the leaders in the enterprise at this
meeting.
Judge .E. C. O'Rear, of Frankfort:
C. N. Manning, H. M. Morman, nad
E. O. Robinson, of Ft. Thomas, were
also members of the inspection party.

CATHOLIC CLUB MEETING
There will be a special call
meeting of the 'Catholic Club of
the University at the assembly
room on Barr street. Sunday
corning, May 13, at 10 o'cloc' .
This is a very important meeting and every member is asked
to be present.
