Tourist Business Thriving

Ashe County, although it is one of the
finest scenic areas of the State, is some
what off the beaten tourist trail, so it
makes more than routine news when that
county is literally swamped with tourists.
According to The Skyland Post, how
ever, this is what is happening in Ashe.
Inns, hotels and private homes catering to
tourists are filled to overlooking and hun
dreds have been turned away. Tourists are
coming into Ashe from as far south as Flor
ida, and many visitors are coming from
Eastern North Carolina, Virginia and adj
5acent states.
One trend noted in Ashe as elsewhere
In the mountain region is the increasing
inclination of North Carolina vacationists
to patronize the resorts and scenic areas
Of their own State. Here, they find treat
in store for them, in mountain scenery and
cool Summer atmosphere which cannot be
excelled and in beach attractions equal to
the best along the Atlantic coast.
Another encouraging feature of the

Having Just returned from

it could not be done. They
are alike in that they are
mountainous, but in most ev-
cry other respect they are

or less startling, while our

The people of Colorado have

list business. They go after it.
They make a lot of money off Of

Carolina can learn much from.
them about getting this business
promoting it, and taking care Of
it. We could learn a great deal
from them about advertising our
section, about providing adequate
accommodation and recreational
facilities, about cordial and cOur
teous treatment. While on a tour
out there, l heard a man from

of the bus what the people in
that section lived on. why you
don't seem to have any farms at
all, how do you make a living
nere?" The driver, with a smile,
asked the man if he knew how
much money he had when he ar
rived. Obtaining yes for an an
sWer, he suggested, ''When you
get ready to leave, count the mon
ey you have left and perhaps you
will find out what we live on"
Western North Carolina has ev-
erything that it takes to be the
leading tourist section in the ma
ton. Of course we want to con-
tinue to promote our agriculture
and livestock raising and our in
dustrial growth, which are our
main sources of income, but at the
same time we have a paradise for
hunting and fishing and for tour
lists of all kinds throughout the
spring, summer and fall months.
Every town, every chamber Of
commerce and every business en-
terprise in the region should be-
come more awake to the unlimit-
ed tourist possibilities that await
this great section.

Richardson School Bid
Exceeds Estimate,
Stalls Construction

Construction costs and not the
Wyatt housing order are holding
up District public construction.
Because of high prices quoted only
one major construction project con-
tract has been let by the city since
vi Day-the heating plant at the
Home for the Aged and Infirm at
Blue Plains last month, according
to Archie Hutson, deputy director
of District construction.
District of1cials yesterday opened
bids on the proposed $4,000 Rich
ardson school for colored pupils at
Fifty-third and Blaine streets Sc,
only to find the low bid was $489, 800.
The same situation occurred with
the proposed receiving home for
children, the Kimball School addi-
ton and the Lucy Diggs Slowe
School.
Although the projects are in many
cases badly needed, and in the case
of the Richardson school, already
SACo1Co Wy tlC SAFll1d1 1IOuuCtlOll
Administration, District officials
consider the bids submitted to be
out Of line with the acknowledged
rise in cost of materials and labor.
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Joseph D. Arthur, jr.. has indicated
the city probably will sit back and
wait for a settling of conditions in
the building industry.
1t was held unlikely the District
would seek additional appropriations
to boost the available money up to
the low bids, although last fall ON
cials did seek supplemental funds
for several school projects on the
ground that the estimates were pre-
pared on a pre-war building mar
ket and did not take into account
the price increase.
The Wyatt order. issued by CPA
March 26, halted all construction
until 1t could be screened to de-
termine its need in relation to low
cost housing for veterans.

Victory Over Clippers
Practically CIinches
UIine Cup for Lions

Regardless of what some Of the
generally tougher teams in the East
ern League may nave this season
Coach Jack Riley's Washington
Lions should emerge from their GUS
tomAry dormant role. It's team
instead Of a collection of individual
skaters, as they showed again last
night while trimming Baltimore
Clippers, 1872, at Uline Arena.
This was their second win In three
exhibition starts against the Clip
perS. The series ends tonight at
Baltimore, and it's virtual impos-
sibility for Baltimore to take the
Uline Cup. To do so it would have
to outscore the Lions by II goals.
Again last night the darling Of
the feminine fans was Ray Mar
shall. The curly-haired kid once
more fired in three goals, one In
each period, to raise his total to
eight In Washington's score of 26
SO far. In all, the Lions were very
consistent, testing Larry Frechette
with Q hail of rubber throughout
and scoring four times in each
frame.
Coach Riley donned the green and
proved the best player on the ice.
His second-period goal particularly
was thing Of beauty. Taking
the puck from Phil Vitale In midice,
he tented two Clipper defensemen
practically of their feet before SAIL
ing untouched past them, and then
tied Frechette In knots while scor-
ing.
Bert Halliday, spare Lion goalie,
also did okay, although allowing
two goals. The first, by Jack Stod-
dard, particularly was tainted.
Lloyd Schnarr was credited with an
assist on this as he certainly should
have. He showed Halliday from the
net as Stoddard shot home, but
Halliday's protests to Referee Len
Burrage fell on deaf ears.
