AUTUMN COLOR CONTINUES
DESCENT ON MOUNTAINS
By MARGARET FISHER

Asheville-Autumn color is
rapidly advancing here in these
North Carolina Mountains. AL
ready the first fall colors may be
seen in the gold of yellow poplar
and the flame reds of the black
gum, sourwood and naples. Also
mingled in this early autumn
brilliance are cherry, ash, and
dogwood.
Forestry experts report that
western North Cardinals color
will be at its peak in mid-Octo-
Der, at its normal peak season,
in spite of some dry weather.
Predictions are that the week
end of October Is will give visit
ors their best color display.
The red naples and buckeyes
in the Great Smokes are begin
ming to turn at lower attitudes.
The sassafras and sumac have al
ready turned at most levels.
Along the Blue Ridge Park
way, fan color is rapidly climb
ing down the slopes with the
first coIors of the b1ackgum al
ready here. Mt. Mitchell, Craggy,
Grandfather and Blowing Rock
are vantage points for viewing
the color show at highlevels on
the Parkway, ''mountain-crest
boulevard.
Hues and co1ors are varied in
these southern App CHI n
mountains. Leaves of the syca-
more, hickories, poplars, and cal
talpas turn burnt green or a
pure gold. Those turning a gold
en- yellow are shadbush, Redbud,
mulberries and black walnuts.
The oaks might be any shade,
tint or hue.

YOUR IRONING JOBS
BEGIN ON THE LINE

It's not on the ironing board
that ironing begins. Your clothes
line is the starting point.
The way you hang clothes on
! the line can simplify your iron
ing procedure, says Mamie Whis-
nant, State College home man.
agement specialist.
Hang all garments on the line
by their strongest points. For ex-
ample, hang shirts and pajamas
with the tail several inches over
the line. Pin at side seams and at
center front to hold shirt front
closed and to dry it straight. Dry
jackets and blouses on hangers.
Some jackets may be hung by
the hem but generally they'll
have fewer wrinkles if allowed
to dry on hanger.
Dry dresses on rust-proof
hangers or hang on the line by
shoulders at side seams. Hang
skirts and pants by the waist
band. Miss Whisnant says you'll
find that pants dried on pants
stretchers require little or no
pressing.
Towels and pillowcases will
blow free from wrinkles and
and creases if they're hung about
one-third over the line. Hang
pillowcases with hem or open
end down.
You can save ironing time with
sheets if-when you hang them
out to dry-you fold the hens to-
gether with the right side out.
Place hem edges about five in
ches over the line. Pin at each
