PQNDER This school opened the. first day with an unusual attendance of pa trons. It was at the opening the writer wanted to crive a risintr vote of appreciation to the Board of Ed ucation, Board of Commissioners, State Heads, and all others concern ed' for what had been done for the SDrine Creek Hiarh School. But modesty and some timidity caused to be left silent what should have been spoken or acted. And now may these words of the writer sueak in behalf of the community from Bluff to Luck the appreciation of a host of pleased school patrons and1 pupils for what has been done by our good friends. Sunt. Blankenship, the Board of Education, County Commissioners, State Heads and all others who have helped to make a real school in this community. - This is it. We hardly expected to have so many good things the first year. Then there was the appear ance of new desks and chairs (no old ones admitted) for teachers and pu- pils. We wondered about lights. So in one room sits a Delco plant ready to be installed. And chairs for the auditorium, they just kept unloading them this week so you may be seated when you come. Just last "week thev let us have another bus after saying we couldn't get another. It made its virgin trip today and at ... i i i noon was inspectea, scruumzeu auu compared in detail to its companions by.

' So, we on the lower end feel a great relief in our "sardine' meth od being replaced by comfort and pleasure. So there it goes up Freeze land on new highway bringing hap py, eager, intelligent youths to a good school. . And did you notice that? A dandy new highway is opening up Freeze land, It's wider and better than No. 209 and I want to drive it very soon to our Metropolis. They're already beginning that, and that makes one think of this. A big taxpayer of this community and also a leading citizen and. a truthful man, has just now made the statement that his taxes for this vear show o be $38.00 less than last year and he has besides a fine consolidated school m 80 steps of a bus and a few turns of the wheels, and on to that a highway. It may be good things come to a community at the "11th hour'' hut should be ap preciated when they do come. Mr. Wayne Farmer, principal of Hot Snrinn. sent un his quintet in basketball, and put over a defeat on the SpringCreek boys last Friday.

TIONS FOR HUNTERS AND FISHERMEN Madison County contains some of the best hunting grounds in the whole state. We have thousands of acres of cut-over timber land mostly own ed by the government, which affords fine shelter and' food for all wild life, such as deer, bear, turkey, pheasants, etc. If these lands were restocked the game would soon increase and scatter to the adjoining farms and communities. A good example is the Government Preserve in Buncombe, Henderson and Haywood1 counties. If the sportsmen and citizens would jojn in a concerted effort they could obtain from the State and Government sufficnt numbers of every kind of animal or fowl for stocking purposes. We have in Madison County over 150 miles of trout water. The li cense money paid by the different counties goes to support the hatch eries of the State. Each year mil lions of voune trout and bass are , They are then turned over to clubs and individuals for distribution in the various streams of the State. All the cost to individuals or clubs is the hauling from hatchery to stream or destination. Of course, the stream has to be suitable for the kind of fish applied for. It has been determined that the best results may be had from releas ing fish from three to six inches in length because of the larger fish or anything else that may be in the . . . j i . .i. in j . .L.I.- l- 1.. J ...J IV, tmtalf treams being stocked and the small fish fed1 and taken care of until they are large enough to take care of themselves before being released. We have two pools already built at Belva, N. C. Each pool is 36 feet lontr. 6 feet wide, and three feet deep, with three inches of cold moun tain water flowing into them. These two pools will support from thirty to forty thousand of the small fingerlings when taken from the hatcheries. In about six months time these fish will be from four to five inches long, large enough to liberate in the streams. We have at the pres ent time about six hundred speckled trout taken from the hatcheries in July. They are now about five to six inches in length and1 will be al most large enough to catch when lib erated next spring. No county or community has any asset that is a greater asset than well stocked trout streams and good hunt ing orounds. It not only furnishes fine wholesome diversion for the lo cal people (but attracts sportsmen from other sections: Men who have money are continually looking for some place to spend it for things they best like and fishing is the pastime and sport of some of our wealthiest as well as imost prominent men for example, President Hoover, Ex-President Coolidge, and thousands of oth ers. Man. in his avarice for gain, has ravaged streams and forests and it is necessary that we lend a helping hand to Nature ' we expect to pass on t0 our posterity some of the thrills o the outdoor life and1 sports, Did you ever have some old man folo nt hoar and deer huntine ,.ctl a and watch the keen interest oi your children? The time will soon come, unless -we make some provision for restoration, that all our children know of their fine, wholesome sports is what they read from some musty volume, or the tale of some old timer. , if you expect a good1 wheat crop, you plant wheat, and if we expect a o-nnrl ornn of Wild life. .WO TOUst plant, V water to uevour nicc4.uiv f. n j xit,t,;'''JTrin - PfS ' ' aon com. when our forests will re- .
