LGESIX^ iiNia Ad;(ii(7d BeCovted^To Scenk Toorisb jalme. W», 'won««r haw«ni«)i^Uad b* , :rA“j; e-.sjs: . The break-up of the patta^. XekfBir that the courteey of the Sue Ridge be extended tourists ■ the vicinity of the parkway, a •oent Issue of "Blue Ridge Vrkway News'* carried the fol- ■wing article: Oaa You Tell Me? Can you tell me how to reach Als Parkway, and where can we •D, and where can we stop? Whea the tourists ask these questions, nd many of them will, we hope Oat they receive a courteous and •orrect answer. Just like any stranger in any land, none o'f us are very happy when we have that sense of "being lost," and when we are unhappy In a coun try or city, we seldom return. And people from the “low" country sad the big towns along the rivers ' and seacoast are not used to the mountains. The Blue Ridge will seem a strange land to them in deed. That is why it seems so im portant that all of us who are “at home” in the Blue Ridge sAould be helpful and hospitable. Once the visitor is on the Park way we expect to see that he is sken care of. 'iiie Rangers have sen schooled in the general in- ormation. Signs will direct the jMtorist to the towns and cities at the intersections. Descriptive fslders telling about the scenic drive will be made available. The folders have been given to a number of gas stations, hotels. Chambers of Commerce, tourist tinreaus in the Parkway locale, and more are available for free distribution if you need them. We are glad to put them out in any place where they will reach tte traveling public. But beyond these things we must depend up- an the thousands of you who are in touch with the tourists in your daily business to extend the cour tesy of the Blue Ridge. We sug gest that you ought to know the ftrkway, and that means getting •ut On it and seeing for your- own, or gas station, or tourist home, or hotel to the Parkway, and what highways lead to - It, and what the numbers of these highways are? How many know how far one can go on the scenic drive? If yon will write ns we can supply you with this information, and the Rangers are always glad to talk Parkway with you. Tracks'and Ontingsw We had a letter this morning asking for permission to take a truck load of children on the Parkway for a day’s outing and a picnic. We said, “Fine, go ahead,” and we always will, and so will the Rangers when It is a question of a truck load of folks out for a day’s fun. That Is what the Parkway and Parks were hullt for, and we think there is more fun for a group of kids, or grown ups for that matter, in a truck than in any other way. This ap plies to pickup trucks or to larg er trucks when they are loaded with people but not when they are hauling anything else. It Is important that the group of peo ple be picnic or pleasure bound and not just “looking at the scen ery as an excuse” to use the Parkway for commercial purpos es. We are not going to try and say how many people are neces sary to make a picnic group— rather we shall leave it to the Ranger to determine whether the use of the Parkway is wa-ranted or not. If you will co-operate with us in using this Parkway for pleasure purposes we'Shall do ail we can to make it available for all who want to go on an honest picnic outing. As we have ex plained in the bulletin before, the Parkway is meant for pleasure use, and there are roads a plenty built and kept up by the good highway departments of Virginia and North Carolina which are meant for business use and the hauling of farm and other pro duce. And by the way, we like the spirit in which this gentleman wrote in and asked because he wasn’t sure. He wanted to be right. That is good citizenship, some of the Parkway In North Carolina haa.reaulted discomfort to tratelen, and one la very happy ibnut-'lt.' aeveib winter freeies which cauar ed tronblo all over the Blast were partly to blame. Moreover this first treatment coat was "light’* (too light it is realised now) and was meant to serve until the big dirt fills had settled when a sec ond and higher type pavement was to be placed. We hope that the patching now under way will put the worst of this condition iiehind tis, and meanwhile traffic will be maintained with as little inconvenience to the traveler as possible. Explosive Chemist Wanted At Once Explosive chemists are urged to apply at once for the civil service examinations now opon for the various grades of chemist and chemical technologist posi tions in the F’ederal service. In connection with the present Na tional defense program it is ex tremely important that a large number of well qualified explos ive chemists and chemical tech nologists be immediately avail able should vacancies occur in this field. The salaries for the positions for which these exami nations have been announced range from $2,600 to $4,600 a year. Applications must be on file with the U. S.

In a com paratively short time Mr. Har vel has gained a comprehensive knowledge of photography and his business here is growing rapidly. LIME, PHOSPHATE AND BEEF CATTLE (Continued from page three) with which the average farmer is not able to comply. ’This together with the low prices received for dairy products makes the business almost prohibitive for the aver age farmer not only in this sec tion but elsewhere. We therefore recommend along with lime and phosphate the growing of beef cattle or other meat producing animals. BUG DOPE Summer is upon us and you’ll need something to combat those insects while on your vacation. Mosquitos, black flies, gnats, mid ges and moat other bugs all give this dope a wide berth. I carry a small oil can of it in my tackle- box and keep another handy in my pocket, then I dcn’t forget it. The recipe is slmpie but does the work. It is: 1 oz. of pefi-yroyal, 3 ozs. of pine tar and 2 ozs. of castor oil. Simmer together in a double boiler for 5 minutes and ;t’s rea dy to use.—S. R. Jenkins. an excellent photographer In on ly a fow yeara.'*"’?' ; After high school he waa em ployed in a machine ihon here but when not In the shop he could be found with a camera hunting some Interesting shots. His Inter est did not stop with . snapping pictures and having them de veloped. He not only wanted to know how pictures were made but why and he begun an intensive study of photography which in a short time has given him a -won- derfol knowledge of the subject. In January of 1939 he bought out a studio here'^ and established his own business, meanwhile con tinuing his study of the trade. Harvers Studio, which is locat ed on Main street, is modernly equipped throughout with camer as, enlargers, printers and the many things which are essential for rendering a complete photo service. Mr. Harvel keeps in touch with every new development in pho tography and purchases the most modern materials. He tests out by actual experience the latest findings in photography research and when he finds time from reg ular business he is continually ex perimenting in order to find new ways of making pictures and making better portraits. In this experimental work he spends much time and uses an abundance of materials in order to learn better methods and turn out bet ter products. He is one of the best authori ties on color photography in this part of the state and has made some excellent color photographs. He also has a growing reputa tion as a press photographer and on numerous occasions has made pictures for several daily news papers as well as for the news papers in this city. His press cam era is a Speed-Graph .c. recogniz ed as the best camera availaible for that type of work. He also does much work in ko dak finishing, giving every lit tle print the benefit of his wide knowledge of photography just as he would if he were working on an expensive portrait. mmSm b E L E D ■ ft » l W H S»I [while attending the Celebration you are invited t> visit our achool and get full particulars about learainflgj &e profession, at small cost • • • Why Not Learn The BEAUTY PROFESSION?
