greatest number Of Great
Smokes wildflowers are at their
peak, some of the most spec
tacular shows come later.
Delicate pink-white laurel
blooms come around the middle
Of May and last into June.
June is the month when pur-
pie rhododendron blooms glori-
ouSly over the whole mountain
region of East Tennessee and
Western North Carolina.
But for many lovers Of the
Great Smokes, the best time
of the year is when flame
azalea sets portions of the high
country ablaze with color from
middle to late June. Peak

bloom usually comes sometime
between June Is and rs.
While motorists can see some
flame azalea from the road
side, one has to do some hiking
to reach the most magnificent
displays. The largest Of these
is at Gregory Bald, where sew
eral acres of different shades
Of azalea form q massive color
riot. But the round-trip Greg
ory hike is IL miles.
A 4-mile round-trip takes
one to Andrews Bald, where the
display is just as vivid but not
as large.
Excellent hotels, motor courts
and restaurants are to be found
at Knoxville, Gatlinburg and
at some of the smaller villages
within sight Of the mountains.

features Of the Great Smokes
is that If you arrive too late to
see some Of the flowers bloom
ing in the lowlands. you can
take a 15-minute drive and see
them blooming a few thousand
feet higher in the mountain.
One can see the big white
bracts Of the Towering dog
wood in the mountains as much
as two weeks later than they
bloomed around Knoxville and
Gatlinburg.
Early Boomers
Spring beauties norm ally
bloom very early. But they
sometimes can be seen just
breaking into bloom, near lin

April. Millions Of these tiny

Appalachian Trail, at round the

princes presented the Augsburg
Confession TO the Emperor

Augsburg ended the military
struggle between the German
Catholics and Protestants. with
each prince permitted to de-

The building where the
princes met has disappeared
but in the older portion Of
the city several oddly paired
churches still stand. The pre-
dominantly Catholic Augs-
burgers had conscientiously
built small Protestant churche:
adjacent to each large catho-
lie church as an example Of
religious tolerance for the rest
of Europe.

Greet Smokes Explored
In WiIdfIower Pilgrimage
by CARSON BREWER
contrlbuting writer

KNOXVILLE. Tenn.--Mama
Nature is puttering joyfully |
around her favorite wildflower
garden. the 5o7.OOO-acre Great
Smoky Mountains National
Park.
She occasionally sprinkles a
cloudful Of rain over the place
because the violets don't seem
to have quite enough moisture.
She lays down a heavy frost
blanket some mornings, to hold
back the trilliums.
What she's trying to do IS
have every blossom on schedule
for the Ninth Annual Spring
wildfiower Pilgrimage. 1t will
be April 1925 at Gatlinburg,
an hours drive from Knoxville.
The agencies in charge OF
the Pilgrimage are the Uni
versity Of Tennessee Botany
Department, Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, and
the Gatlinburg Garden Club.
Botanists from over the Ma
ton come to look at the great
variety of blooms on display
and to search for rare speci-
mems. They mingle with the
amateurs, who range from
knowledgeable garden clubbers
to those who don't know q
bloodroot bloom from dog
tooth violet till a guide shows
them. !
M0torcadeS Set
Wildfiower motorcades and
guided hikes are part of the
Pilgrimage program. But ma
ture lovers wanting something
a little different may take
guided morning bird walks.
There are flower films, talks
and plant clinics each evening.
The park has a phenomenal
variety Of wildflowers. There
are 20 species Of native wild
orchids alone. The orchids
which bloom in the April-May
period are pink lady's-slipper
and snowy orchids.
There are at least seven
species of trillium and 26 of
spring blooming violets. At
least one or two Of the trillium
family and several Of the vio-
lets should be blooming at pill
grimage time.
Some others nearly sure to be
blooming then are columbine,
winter-cress, Dutchman's
breeches, trailing arbutus,
bluets, Virginia bluebells, blood
root, false Solomon seal, and
fringed phacelia. The little
white flowers of the phacelia
often grow so thickly that they
look like snow along the road
sides.

A LITTLE QUIET IN LENT
IT MAY NOT be fashionable. or popular

Ill MAY MOI be fashionable, or popular, to turn
even the briefeSt attention to the name of God, yet,
more and more, men and women are beginning to rea-
lie that the truly important things of life center around
that very name. And we know of no time in which more
valuable attention could be given to it than during Lent.
Nan HAS SUCCEEDED IN making the instru-
ments Of destruction, yet, there is still 50 much to be
done on the positive side that the picture is an appalling
one. Millions and millions Of dollars are being spent on
missiles, atomic weapons, and the instruments Of war
while millions of our feiloWmen suffer from disease and
want.
SOMEHOW, WORDS Of peace, Of wisdom, Of I'M
derstanding have to come from some source, and no
source is more. appropriate and meaningful than rei-
gion. 1t is for this reason that there are days" of prayer,
college canpuses see entire periods devoted to worship,
and men in high places no longer hesitate to publicly
seek the answer from above.
AND WITH NATIONS armed to the teeth, ready
and waiting to defend what they consider their interests,
or to run rough shod over everything and everyone in
that great plunge to world domination, there must be
some calmness and ~quietness which would give time to
see beyond the Immediately worldly gains.
PERHAPS TT WOULD not be bad idea if the
Lenten season this year carries fuller meaning, if more
thought might not be properly given to the things which
have richer and fuller meaning, if this same period
might not be used to fulfil some of the principles for
which this season is noted. Perhaps one of the ways in
which many could bring meaning to lent is to lessen the
amount Of noise and disturbances, especially in the
neighborhood of churches where people might want to
worship in peace and quiet.
