"Nature has endowed western

says a recent number of Commerce

of the School of Commerce cf the
University of North Carolina. Continuing,
this publication points out
that "within Its bordtrs, there aic
recreational facilities which make it
the tntst ideal a:?d delightful resort |
section in the United States. With
the4 Blue Ridge and its approach %
foothills on the east ar.d the Sn:o{m
Mountains o nthe west, there is a re-*!
gion known far and wide for its
tiful scenery, healthful climate, purC
water, and wonderful natural
ces," and it might %well have added,*
an energetic, wide-awake population. I
"North Carolina-^oes not' hav%.the
rugged, bold scenery of the Rockies
or the Alps. Its mountains are softer
contour; its wooded slopes reach
to the very tops of the mountains, and
its plateaus and cultivated valleys
are more restful to the eye.
"Fishing, hunting, boating and
bathing, lid'.ng and hiking, motoring,
and camping, gulf and tennics are!
sent? e? the sfibrt? offered to viRitimr!
guests. Satisfactory accomodations in 1
nearly all sections of Western North
Carolina, and the state system of
roads is making available to visitors
the many natural and beautiful attractions."
Asheville is rightfully named as
the center of the western Carolina'
recreational area and some thirty
smaller towns, including Murphy, are'
summer gue-ts seeking rest and ret-!
reation. A unique feature of this J
number of Commerce and Industry
is a map of North Carolina, on which j
is plotted the chief resort centers.
