These men built truck trails and roads in the Nantahala National Forest, helping to provide easy access to the Great Smoky Mountains. They constructed telephone lines. They removed dead trees to prevent forest fires. Workers put out forest fires, too, saving timber, property, and possibly even lives. They lessened soil erosion by laying topsoil to prevent land- and mudslides, by landscaping, and by planting trees and shrubs. This work benefited forestland and agricultural areas across North Carolina.
The "affordability" of the automobile in the 1950s changed American culture.
Affordability is in quotes because the automobile manufacturers did something tricky. They got the US government to pay for the building and maintenance of roads.
So, unlike the train system where the train companies have to build and maintain tracks, the auto makers only had to make the cars.
