OCTOBER, LOVELY
TIME FOR TAKING
WESTERN N. c. TRIP
Autumn Foliage VIII Provide Out
door Show Made Easy TO
See by Good Roads
BY MIRIAM RABB


October is curtain time and
Western North Carolina is the
stage for one of the greatest out
door shows: autumn foliage across
Eastern Americas highest noun
tains.
The show is on any and all roads
in the Western North Carolina
vacationlands. and the choice of
roads this year is wider than ever
before. Extensive improvements
and newly constructed highways
have opened up an almost endless
combination of loop trips through
the Great Smokes, Blue Ridge,
Nantahalas and other ranges.
While you don't have to leave
the beaten path to enjoy the color
spectacle from lofty overlooks and
the peaks of mile-high mountains,
over thousand miles of hiking
trails, plus hard-surfaced U. S.
Forest Service roads, add further
variety to autumn travel in North
Carolina.
Since North Cardinals noun
tains are heavily forested with
over 148 species of hardwood.
every highway and trail is a show
case for autumn color. By late
September, there are splashes of
crimson and gold at attitudes
above 5000 feet, and the distant
ranges are taking on the deep blue
characteristics of autumn. Mid
October brings the foliage display
to it's full brilliance at higher alti-
tudes and the show continues until
November.
Between the Virginia line and
the Great Smokes Park, over 100
miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway
have been completed for vacation
motoring in North Carolina. Sec
tons of the Parkway are at alti-
tudes up to 5000 feet, and paved
roads link it with the peaks of
mile-high mountains: Mount Nit
chell, Grandfather Mountain, Roam
Mountain and Mount Pisgah.
U. S. All cuts through the Great
Smokes Park and at Newfound
Gap on the crest of the Great
Smoky Divide connects with a
paved park road to the scenic over
look on 6,642-foot high Clingman's
Dome.
By using the Blue Ridge Park
way and major highways as keys,
you can combine paved highways
into loop trips ranging from an
hours drive to a full days travel
or more. and leading to noted
points of interest.
For example, U. S. "a is the
key to the North Carolina Water
fall Country and Cullasaja Gorge
southwest of Asheville. From it
you can take loop trips through
Pisgah National Forest, Nantahala
National Forest, or the ruby fields
near Franklin. Paved roads inter-
secting with U. S. 10 west of
Asheyille take you to Fontana,
Cheoah and Santeetlah Lakes, and
to the improved road leading to
Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest and
the Snowbird Mountains. North of
Asheville, there are loop trips off
the Blue Ridge Parkway to the
Grandfather Mountain country
near Linville, Boone and Blowing
Rock, the gem-hunting country
and Roam Mountain near Spruce
Pine.
Highway IA leads through Hick-
DRY Nut Gorge via Chimney Rock
and Lake Lure. At Lake Lure, it
connects with State highways to
Tryon. From Tryon U. S. 176
winds through Saluda Gorge to
Hendersonville.
Keep in mind that no two areas
of the North Carolina mountains
are alike, and that the scenery and

the pattern of autumn color varies
with every mile of road you
travel. You can drive through
wilderness and fertile farm land,
and to remote coves and valleys
as we'll as to famous scenic attrac-
tions and resorts.
And bring your camera-you'll
use it often.

GARDENING
and FARMING
, IN DARE
By ]. L. REA, Co. Agt.

Mr.. and Mrs. Barnett, of Manteo,
are having trouble with their shade
trees. The Barnetts say their
young trees just will not grow.
The Barnetts have a pretty yard
and they are anxious for their
shade trees to grow, but they say
the more they try to care for the
trees the worse they look.
After talking with the Barnetts,
we decided the trees are doing
poorly for two reasons. The Bar
netts water their trees often. The
Manteo city water, like water in
other towns, has chlorine in it. We
think, perhaps, the excessive
amount of chlorine is injuring the
trees. Then too, the trees being in
poor health have been attacked by
fungus. The fungus has damaged
the foliage which further retards
the trees.
We have suggested that the Bar
netts send a sample of their soil to
be tested to find out if plant food
is lacking in the soil. We have also
suggested that they use more
mulch and less water and that
they use fungicide to kill the fun
gus on the plant leaves.
Shade trees around the home are
important. When planting trees
for shade we should be careful in
selecting the proper tree. The pine,
for example, disappoints many
people in towns who plant them
for shade. When we remove a pine
from it's natural habitat and sur
roundings, in most cases it does
poorly. Certain species do well in
certain sections of the country.
When we plant trees that are not
adaptable to our weather and tenn
perature we are very often disap-
pointed.
A good rule of thumb is, when
planting trees for shade, plant
trees that are native to the local
area
The old adage that agriculture is
the backbone of our nation is be-
ing questioned-Only a few gen.
erations ago-85 per cent of our
nations population lived on farms
ard Is per cent were city dwellers.
Today less than Is per cent of our
people live on farms. This small
percent feed and provide fiber for
not only the other IS per cent who
live off the farm-but also feed
millions in foreign lands.
Surely industry is important but
industry has to have a buyer for
its products. The farmers are big
buyers, for example: Agriculture
buys more petroleum than any
other industry, farmers take 612
million tons of finished steel and
enough raw rubber to put tires on
nearly six million cars a year.
About 20 per cent of the United
States exports consist of farm
products. In 1857 agriculture was
a IA billion dollar customer for
industry.

dency of some Hebrews who go
strong on National, Republic,
United States, American, etc., to
prefix their enterprises with solid
responsibility. We might as we'll
say: Memorial Hot Dog Stand,
Memorial Gas Station, Memorial
Tombstone Yard. If it is worthy of
being a memorial to any person
or any cause, it should be worthy
of bearing that name.
They're doing it everywhere. AS

raw clans on the half-shell. It was
with shame and disgust, as well
as the feeling of being cheated,
when my plate of clans came
Friday night, and most of the
shells were too small to be set on
a respectable table. brought
home some of these shells so
could measure them. They range
as narrow as one and five-eights
in diameter. The customer pays
ten cents apiece for them. l won
der what sort Of inspection system
permits such small clans to be
caught, and sold, in one of Nor
folks most widely known seafood
restaurants.
Like other choice seafood, CLAIMS
have been wasted and destroyed
until the supply is about exhaust
ed. Oregon Inlet was long famed
for fine CLAIMS, but none have come
from there this year. About all
the CLAIMS we get on the Dare
beaches come from Hatteras, and
men who dig CLAIMS too are getting
more scarce. Even George Austin,
who could count out hundred
CLANS where others could find
only so and his equally famous son
Travis have moved to Wanchese
to live.
Well, thank goodness Willie
Newsome is still at Hatteras, and
he always keeps CLAIMS when any
are to be had.
Speaking of Hatteras, it always
has the finest of sport fishing out
of its inlets and off-shore early
in the season. 1t gets first grab at
the gamesters when they move up
the coast in spring. Along in fall,
extra good fishing comes back, and

Hatteras, native and visiting both,
are planning the biggest sports
fishing tournament ever held
there. On October % to 25th, the
big inter-club and Individual
tournament will be sponsored by
the Cape Hatteras Anglers Club,
carrying with it many prizes and
honors.

Soak the consumer is the gem
eral rule to get more money. When
public business is badly managed,
and public employees want more
money, just heap on more taxes.
Telephone and other utilities al
ways want higher rates. in spite
of the increased income and more
use of facilities. The postoffice
department loads up with employees
until in each others way, runs
into a deficit, raises postage to
make up the deficit, and immed-
lately raises wages to create a
bigger deficit. Nobody strives for
efficiency, nor for economy No
thought is given to saving money.
It's just spend, spend, spend. It's
SO much fun spending other folks
money.
Which brings us to an observa-
ton. The post office departments
plan to increase income by raising
postage third isn't paying off.
For our own part, we have found
some ways to save postage we
shouldn't have been spending in
the first place. Take for instance
the utilities, and others who mail
monthly statements at three cents
per letter. They would now have
to pay four cents month, and in
two months eight cents. So instead
of paying eight cents, they have
adopted a rule of sending bills
bi-monthly, total return to the
postoffice department only four
cents instead of the six cents it
had been getting. Loss to the de-
partment one third of the previous
revenue. And the patron also saves
lot of stationery and labor.
Watch out next year for more
postal deficit. If Uncle Sam can't
run the postoffice business and
keep on top, he ought to farm it
out to American express, or some
body else.
We note throughout the coast
land increasing interest by visitors
in buying waterfront property. Un-
fortunately in coastal areas, a
large percentage of our land is
unsuited for immediate use, and
would cost a lot of money to i'm
prove. For many years our people
have been breaking their necks to
move away from quiet and whole
sone surroundings to get on the
main highways, and close to tele-
phones and power lines. The very
property they have abandoned is
now the kind being sought by new
corners.
Memorials are worthy projects.
They inspire appreciation for the
past and gratitude for unselfish
deeds of persons who have passed
on. They stand as a reminder Of
our obligation to emulate what
has been done.
A memorial should have a name.
1t should be the Veterans Memo
rial, the Joe Smith Memorial, or
the O'Brien Memorial. 1t is there
fore with some bewilderment that
l read now and then of things
taking place at memorial auditor
iums", at memorial fields" at
memorial churches" For Gods
sake, memorial to what? What
can be more stupid than merely
calling something memorial this"
or memorial that" 1t has mean
ing neither to those who live
around it, nor to those who drift
in for a visit. To be memorial
in its true sense, and have light,
life and inspiration, it should bear
a name that will be remembered
and will grow to mean something.
