Park (Continued from page 1) Present area of the park i-. 400. 882 acres, with 229,470 acri's in North Carolina and 231.412 ai-rcs in Tennessee. The Park embraces the Great Smoky Mountains range, l lie i crest of which is identical with the j state line running roughly north east-southwest. Generally eliptieal in shape, the greatest length of the park is about 51.5 miles and its greatest width about 18.5 miles. Except for Mount Mitchell the Smokies are notable for having the highest peaks in eastern Amer ica. With Clingman's Dome, the park's highest with an elevation of 6,642 feet, there are 24 peaks hav ing an elevation in excess of 6.000 leet and eleven more between 5,000 and 6,000 feet. Nestling between cross-ranges are many valley areas. Cataloochee in North Carolina and Cades Cove in Tennessee being two that are quite wide and open. The Smokies are noted for the variety of their plant life which re sults from the wide range in eleva tion, a well distributed rainfall and a relatively long growing season. It is reported, writes Mr. Ray. that 152 species of trees are found within the Park as compared with only 85 native to Europe. The va riety of plant life is so great that a scientist has reported that: "In going from the base of one of our mountains to the top. one traverses the same floral zones that are to be found in a trip from southern Ten nessee to southern Canada." The same conditions provide animal life in an equally varied degree. Mag nificent floral displays provide in terest and enjoyment to the visitor and are a main attraction.

It also was reported at last week's meeting of the group that $1,193.70 was raised by the dime board dur ing the Christmas Cheer program, and $1,444.96 had been spent, with some other bills not yet in for clothing furnished 100 needy children.

The ruggedness that has saved the Smokies from early settlers and exploitation has made difficult and expensive the building of roads. As of 1947, the Park contains 66 miles of hard surfaced roads; 89.5 miles of crushed stone surfaced roads; 146 miles of "truck trails" used in administration and Are control; 595 miles of riding trails and 59 miles of trails suitable for hiking only a combined total of 800 miles. The number of visitors grew to a peak of 1,247,019 in 1941, fell off during the travel-restricted days of the war. and increased to 1,186,748 during the 1947 travel year. Its ac cessibility to the heavily populated eastern and north central states as well as the South cause Mr. Ray to comment: "It may reasonably be said that visitors to the Park will be limifed only by its develop ment." , As a scenic attraction the Park is not isolated, but has the Cherokee Indian Reservation with its 3,500 Indian inhabitants at the southern approach, and is within a few hours driving time of the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests and Fontana Dam and Lake of the TV A system, in North Carolina, and the many TVA and privately - owned power lakes of Tennessee.

State Licensed Building, Plumbing, Heating Contractors Taxpayers May Feel Cost Of LateS War Until 2100 WASHINGTON IMP) ' Tutuw American taxpayer probably will be footing the bill tor World War n in the year 2100.. It is estimated that the last sur viving veteran of 'the war wiu live until the year 2030. On that basis, some surviving dependents still will be living at the beginning of the 22nd century. Veterans Administration records show that it wasnt. until 1906 that the taxpayer finished paying off the last dependent of a Hevolu tionary War veteran. And although the treaty ending the Mexican War will have been signed 100 years ago next February, there, are 43 dependents of disabled veterans of that war still collecting from the government. Two Wais Off Books Except for ce;netery care and monumnts, the only two wars completely written off the tax books are the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The records show that the last Revolutionary War veteran, Dan iel Frederick Bakeman, Freedonia, N. Y., died April 5, 1B69, at the age of 109. The last dependent to collect government compensation from that war was Mrs. Esther S. Damon, Plymouth Union, Vt., widow of a Revolutionary War vet eran, who died Nov. 11, 1908. at the age of 92. Hiram' Cronk, Alva, N. Y., last veteran of the War of 1812, died May 13, 1905, and Mrs. Esther Ann Hill Morgan, daughter of a vet eran, died March 12, 1946, 130 years after the end of the war. S3 Civil War Survivors Last veteran of the Mexican War. Owen Thomas Edgar, Wash ington, D. C, died Sept. 3, 192981 years after the war ended. Although the Civil War ended 82 years ago, there still are 83 veterans and 17,895 dependents collecting pensions from the gov ernment. Actuarial estimates indicated that the last surviving Civil War veteran would be dead at the age of 99, but the Civil War veterans fooled them. The youngest survivor is now 99 and several are 105. trr th Indian Wars stretching from 1790 to 1898, there are 797 veterans and 2,278 dependents on government rolls. The Spanish-American war nas 112 355 veterans and 80,679 de pendents. Dependent List Grows History shows that as the ranks of disabled veterans getting gov ernment help thin, the group of dependents grows. There are 438,121 vt:erans and 389,232 dependents of World War 1 getting government aid and 1,712, 696 veterans and 416,370 depend ents on the service-connected dis ability list of World War II. Thus far the post-war cost for payments to veterans and depend ents of the Civil War now about $8,200,000,000 tops the list. But World War I is catching up rap Idly with about $5,800,000 The Spanish-American way down with about 000. World War II? it haJ good start. can i .
