STAR. PROGRESS WIPES OUT“HILL BILLY” Eastern Tennessee Power Developments Bring Mod- ern Life Into Mountains. By the Associated Press. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., September 4.— 'flu hill billy is fast disappearing from Zzst Tennessee and the factory work- ran is taking nm pkaoe. ‘Within the walls of the Eas® “en- nessee Valley, the simple mode of liv- ing of a half million Plc is being revolutionized by harnessing a score of streams tumbling down the Southern Appalachians. Industrial development in the “Ruhr of America.” epplied to the section, which ine'™ h ot only East Tennessee, but the West- ern Carolinas, has few parallels in the “new South.” Transformation of a rather obscure #ection is reflected by the 1930 census, which placed two cities in the valley, (‘hallano"ga and Knoxville, in the 100,- 000 class. A half dozen towns at the bead of the valley have doubled or| trebled in the last 10 years. Water Power Is Reason. Water power in this section, secret of the metamorphosis, has held atten- tion since the Government in 1918 started construction of the Wilson Dam on the Tennessee at Muscle Shoals, Ala. This plant, it in the valley, has a capacity of 260,000 horsepower. But Muscle Shoals is only a hint of what's brewing. A survey of East Ten- nessee streams by Army engineers shows possible utilization of about 140 water power projects, which could gen- grate 1,590,000 horsepower. Proposals include a $43,000,000 dam n the Clinch River, near Knoxville, lmvlded for in a "Muscle Shoals bill hich failed to pass the last Congress. It would have been’'ohe of thie largest storage dams in the region. Actual developments find the Alum- fnum Co. of America with plants at Alcoa, at the foot of the Smoky Moun- tains, near the mouth of the Little ‘Tennessee. 3,500 in Model City. Where in 1913 hogs and cattle fed, ghrill whistles now signal an army of 3,500 to work in a model city, with space provided for an increase to 35~ 000 and an acre of parks set aside for every 100 residents.
