AUTUMN BRINGS
BRIGHT FOLIAGE.
FINE FISHING TON. c.

Autumn flowers and the first
bright splashes of autumn color on
mile-high mountains are foretell-
ing North Cardinals spectacular
autumn foliage parade which will
be seen between now and early
November on the highest noun
tains in Eastern America.
Along the coast, where the big
gest run of billfish in many years
has highlighted offshore fishing
this summer, deep sea fishing
continues good and the big run
of autumn gamefish makes the
beaches a mecca for surf casters
in September and October. Since
weather warm enough for surf and
sun bathing usually prevails until
October, September vacationists
can acquire that saltwater tan by
visiting North Cardinals beaches.
Beach resorts from the Outer
Banks to Southeastern North Caro-
lima have added many new accom-
modations and extended their sea-
sons.
With every highway and resort
showcase for autumn foliage in
the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky
Mountains of Western North
Carolina, almost all tourist facili-
ties remain open to accommodate
the increasing numbers of visitors
who are discovering the beauty of
the highlands when their vast
forests of hardwoods turn to
crimson and gold.
Western North Carolina, where
there are 223 peaks of 5000 feet
elevation or more, is the meeting
place of the two most-visited Ma
tional Park facilities in the land:
the Great Smoky Mountains Ma
tional Park and the Blue Ridge
Parkway. Both are so popular
during the autumn color season
that October attendance now rivals
that of midsummer.
Travellers can enjoy North Caro-
lina's autumn beauty without
leaving main highways-many of
them new or newly improved dur
ing the past year. For those who
want to get off the beaten path
there are numerous side roads and
hiking trails connecting with paved
routes through Pisgah and Nam
tahala National Forests, and the
Great Smokes Park, and along the
Blue Ridge Parkway.
The Parkway, designed solely
for vacation travel and in North
Carolina following a right-of-way
averaging over 5000 feet in ele-
walton, is famous for the close-ups
and sweeping vistas it affords mo.
torists. Opened during the past
year is a new 11-mile spur of the
Parkway soaring from U. S. 276 in
Pisgah National Forest near Bre-
ward and Waynesville to Beech
Gap in the remote DEVILS Court
house Country of the Balsam
Mountains. This section of the
Parkway, link in the route which
will eventually connect the Shen-
andoah National Park in Virginia
with the North Carolina entrance
to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, is built at an aver
age elevation of over 1000 feet.
The Parkway offers a paved mo-
tor route from the Virginia line
to Asheville, largest city in North
Carolinas' mountain vacationlands.
Paved motor roads and main
highways connect the Parkway
with resorts and scenic attractions,
and the summit of Mount Mitchell,
highest peak in Eastern America,
is accessible from the Parkway by
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1956-09-14
a paved state highway.

a paved state highway.
Other mountain peaks accessible
by motor roads are Grandfather
and Roam Mountains and Mount
jefferson, near the Parkway; and
Wayah Bald Mountain in Nanta-
hala National Forest, Whiteside
Mountain near U. S. 81 in the
Sapphire County southwest of
Asheville, and Clingman's Dome,
highest peak in the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park. From
Soco Gap in U. S. 10 West of
Asheville, spur of the Blue Ridge
Parkway leads up to e-High
Overlook, where it meets the
Great Smoky Mountains and con-
meets with a paved Park road up
to Heintooga Overlook in the Park.
Statewide, fairs and festivals are
important autumn attractions. At
Elizabeth City on U. S. IL and the
Inland Waterway, the Information
al Cup Regatta Festival Septem-
Der $3.50 will bring a galaxy of
powerful speed boats-headed by
the unlimited-class hydroplanes-
to the race course on the Pasquo-
tank River. At Cherokee, on the
Indian Reservation at the entrance
to the Great Smokes Park, the
39th annual Cherokee Indian Fair
will be held October 2 through 6.
In the Sandhills winter resort
area, Pinehurst will be host to the
9Th annual North-South Invitation
Seniors Golf Tournament October
22-27. Mays Head, on the Outer
Banks near the entrance to the
new Cape Hatteras National Sea-
shore, will hold it's 9Th annual
Surf Fishing Tournament October
1921.

The Review article also points
out that it is unlikely that the 1856

be sustained. Experience shows
that credit purchases of durables
and homes go in spurts When busi-
ness is booming and people are op-
timistic, installment buying scars;
when times are bad people tend to
stop anS pay up. A sustainabIe

improve sour chances of avoiding a
business slump.
The instaIlment or amortized

place in our economy, according to

which self-employe farmers should

l040 early in 1856. This required
Jf all farm operators who had net

1855; they are also required to pay

In The Air

/ In The Air
Scientists who use rats and mice
in their laboratory efforts to track
down and solve human miseries are
mighty. careful about having their
little furry friends come from pure
strains and a uniform environment.
They do that to prevent the ap-
pearance of so-called yariables
which might lead to confusion
rather than conclusion.
But mice aren't men. It's a
pretty different thing to find a
large number of people without a
great many uncomfortable variables.
There are, in most places, too
many kinds of people, with too
many different backgrounds and
patterns of living.
Thus, a recently published report
on a fve-year study Of cancer in
New Zealand-which tags air poll
luton and not the cigarette as
the villain in lung cancer-is Of
special significance. This report
has fewer of the variables normally
present in such studies because
New ZeaIand's white population
stems from one region, the British
Isles. The natiye-born New Zea-
landers and the immigrants are
from the same stock.
The immigrants are mostly from
the heavily industrialized, smoggy
areas of England and Wales, while
the natives have been reared under
New England's sunny skies, free
from noxious fumes and far re-
moved from traffic jams.
In a study of cancer deaths
among white New Zealanders from
1949 through 1858, DR.. David F.
Eastcott, assistant director of that
nations National Health Institute,
found that all but one type of
cancer attacked immigrants and
natives indiscriminately. But in
the case of lung cancer there was
a sharp difference. For all inn
migrants (men and women) he
found that the chances of death
from lung cancer were 80 per cent
higher than for the natives.
Further, says DR.. Eastcott, diff
erences in habits of tobacco smok-I
ing are unlikely to contribute to
this picture That this is somewhat
of an lUnderstatement would ap-
pear from records of the last half
century which show that New Zea-
landers smoke more per capita than
the people of the. British Isles.
rThe conclusion follows" says

Eye-Opener with Power-Steering
Over the years, one of the great
arguments in American life has
been whether dinner should be
eaten at noon or at night and con-
sequently, whether to have lunch
or supper additionally.
But the breakfast is the trouble
some meal. Few of US seem to have
time for it-either to prepare it or
merely to eat it. And even fewer,
perhaps can face a plate Of bacon
and eggs at sun-up with any eager
ness. So, we swallow a cup of coffee
and we've had it.
Or at least that is the way it
Was-before this soup-kor-break-
fast craze hit the country. Nova
days, from the Everglades to Walla
WalIa and from Catalina to East
port, the can-opener hangs On the
bedpost and the sound Of Joyous
slurping browns out the joyous
chirping of the birds. Fer the ad-
venturous, there's a different kind
of soup for every morning of the
month, and for the conservative
type the old favorite is always
available. And if Poppa wants hot
buttered pea soup, and Momma in
sists on chicken gumbo, that's no
problem either-as long as they
don't lose the can-opener or forget
to pay the gas or electric bill.
And no one could be happier
over this turn of events than the
VINO have been telling us
for years that breakfast is the most
meal of the whole day,
biologically speaking. BY the
dawn's early light, they warn, our
systems have completely burned
up last nights fuel. There's no
steam on the boiler. And a cup of
coffee won't pop any valves or give
rs what is needed for hours of
slugging at desk or pick or throttle.

TO make your savings produce some
more income. I am a finn believer,
however, that it is cheaper to pay
the grocer than the doctor; hence
a budget should be drawn up which
puts first things first. Many of my
clients tell me that they are handi-
capped by spending too much on
rent, or its equivalent in taxes,
repairs, insurance, ETC., on prop
erty owned. The best thing that
could happen in many households
today would be to cut down house
hold labor costs by getting the
children to help more with house
hold chores.
To start a budget, one ought to
determine from experience and
from old bank statements and can
celled checks what his probable
expenses will be for the year
ahead. My observations through
the years are that a man with a
family of four who has a net in
come of $4,000 latter fnc0me and
social security taxesl ought to hold
his living expenses to about 1870
of the $4,000. About 1870 Of this

1870 for housing and transporta-
