FALL AND WINTER TOURISTS

Western North Cardinals effort 10
beiphten interest elsewhere in the glory OIL
the mountains in autumn has attracted the
attention of The State, which, after not
inc particularly Asheville's, Henderson
viue's and Waynesville's participation IN
the extensive drive for tourists agrees tnat
''to view the mountain slopes when the
leaves begin to turn to red, brown and
gold is a sight that beggars descrlp-
ton. The magazine says:
western North Carolina is making an extensive
drive for tourists this fall.
Ordinarily. when you think of going to the
mountains YOU plan your visit for some time dur
ing the summer months. And it must be admitted
thatthe Land of the Sky offers unusual attractions
and inducements for summer tourists and vacation
lists The entire section also is spotted with camps
for bovs and girls and thousands of the youngsters
attead these camps.
But Western North Carolina is now putting on
campaign to bring visitors to the mountains dur
inc the fall months special edition of the Ashe-
Vile yapers was published recently and copies were
sent all over the United States. The edition set
forth the many beauties of nature which are to be
seem in the mountains during autumn.
'.If YOU have only been to Western North Caro-
lima during the summer months, you have never
seem the mountains in all their beauty and glory
There is no more wonderful scene in this land OF
ours than to view the mountain slopes when the
leaves begin to turn to red, brown and gold 1t IS
sight which beggars description and which is
known only to too few people in other parts of the
state and other parts of the country. 1t is with
view of remedying this situation that Ashevllle
Henaersonvillet Waynesvle and other mountain
cities are cooperating in their efforts to attract
tourists this fall. Not only tourists from own
state but also people from the North, who may be
on their way to Florida other places further
South to spend the winter"
Hendersonville has within the week wit
messed the exodus of many summer tourists
after the most successful season in dec
add but the notion should not become
prevalent that everyone is gone and every
thing has folded up. By contrast, the num-
berI of visitors here now appears to be
small, but it probably is safe to say that
the5height of the summer last year did not
witness the presence of more people from
southern states than are here now. Many
will stay through September and a consld-
cradle number through October and No
vember; and in the meantime new visitors
will be arriving from northern states, some
to remain a while on the way to Florida
and others to stay here through the win
ter There is ample evidence to support
the belief that the winter colony is grow
ing from year to year, and those in posi-
ton to know say the coming winter, like
the summer just gone, will set a new high
mark for seasonal residents. And this, be
it remembered, is the objective toward
which this community has been working
for several years and will continue to
work. -. H..
Yes, summer in the mountains is pleas
ant, autumn is sublime, winter is invlgorat-
ing and spring is inspiring. And as the
wears pass the size of the local population
both permanent and transient will be gov Y
erned largely by the extent to which TINS
information is spread. o.
