FRIGID AIRE Is Always At The Topi
THIS MORNING
By John Temple Graves, ii
In The Asheville Citizen
We live and learn. Summer
after summer, in vacation time,
we have posted letters on the train
at the East Flat Rock, N. C., sta
tion without knowing until we
read the current issue of Globe
with its description of the area
between Highlands and Tryon,
that the station is the highest east
•of the Rockies (altitude 2,780
feet); At Tryon Globe’s traveler
grows downright garrulous. He"
speaks of the “thermal belt” sur
rounding it, “where dew, fogs and
frost are seldom visitors,” a “year
round resort section”, along whose
roads are hillside vineyards pro
ducing the “wine of Tryon” with
a “flavor not equalled elsewhere
outside of Italy.” He speaks of
the toy makers, wood carvers and
weavers, of “Perry Coggins, the
town dentist, manager of the best
voice and instrument octette of
dyed-in-the-wool mountain music
that man has ever heard,” and
of “Frank Bridgeman singing
falsetto with an artistry unequalled
even by cowboys.”

In the same story we learn that
Highlands, N. C., “has the highest
altitude of any incorporated town
in the East.” And at the Blue
Ridge Parkway “will be one of the
most gigantic and spectacular feats
of highway construction that the
world has ever seen. It is planned
to straddle the ridge with a four
lane pavement all the way from
Shenandoah Park in Virginia to
the Great Smokies and beyond
. . . commercial traffic wili be
excluded . ” Meanwhile, from
our friend Hugh Macßae, in
4000-foot-high Linville, N. C.,
comes word that “the Blue Ridge
Parkway is now being constructed
along the rim of Linville.” Owen
i Meredith’s Lord Alfred and Lucille,
if they lived and loved today,
would have preferred Nort’ Caro
lina’s mountains to Italy's, we
have no doubt.
