One spokesman declared that the problem of phone service in these tourist facilities' is particularly acute in Jackson, Cherokee, Swain, and Clay counties, ' Telephones, he added, will be a Number 1 "must" after July 1 to give tourists prompt accommoda tion service and equip resort places to satisfy them. The situation also is proving a great handicap in the dispensing of information regarding the Cher okee Drama, which will have its premiere at the Reservation on July 1. In regard to the handicap to the tourist business as a whole, it was pointed out, there have already been a number of cases In which visitors have refused to stay in fa cilities which lacked telephones. ' In other discussions. E. Cnrl Sink, recently-appointed publicity director lor the Cherokee Drama, underlined the lmDortancn and close cooperation among the indi vidual county Tourist Associations, the Cherokee Historical Associa tion, and individual Chambers of Comiiferce in, an effective publicity campaign for the pageant. This cooperation also is neces sary, he added, to, supply the ex pected millions of visitors to the area ; with accommodations and service. He pointed out that all groups and organizations particularly the Tourist Associations have a great responsibility, in . this project of supplying information and furnish. Ing accommodations. ...... The Board of Directors pledged full support to the Cherokee His torical Association with respect to accommodations. Three members - at - large were elected from the board of direc tors to serve with the present offi cers on an executive committee--J. M. Baity of Andrews. J. C. fiaith. er of Brevard, and Mrs. J. B.

Charles Ray, chairman of the State Park Com mission, discussed the development and promotion of the tourist busi ness and Urged resort operators to give full cooperation and work to gether to take care of the visitors, A letter from Percy Ferebee, president of Western North Caro lina Associated Communities, read at the session, commended the As sociation for the progress ifiias made regarding organization, and projects, arid requested assistance and cooperation in raising the ad ditional funds which will be neces sary to complete the amphitheater for the Cherokee Drama.

MORE ABOUT Welfare (Continued trom rate 1) ' Age Assistance ranged ' from $28.92 In New Hanover County to $19.95 in Pamlico, both coast al counties. ... Aid to dependent children rang ed from the $57.24 Mecklenburg County paid on the average to each family, to $29.37 In Frank-' lin.

Mr. Coffin made this ob'. nova tion following his check ti the evidence: "Deer will browse oriy up to four to four and on half feet above the ground. Thi s they eat the sprouts off the stumps, prevent ing the timber from growing back after cutting." He found the game animals par ticularly liked the sprouts of the poplar. Poplar is the species which the Forest Service is particularly anxious to see develop. In general, Mr. Coffin concludes that the Piseah district needs no more deer, but that the present strain could stand improvement. He explains that the deer popu- laion right now is in balance with the forae supply: One deer eau about nine pounds of roughage a day and requires about 40 to 50 acres for grazing. Currently, he added, the 157,000 acres of land in the Pisgah pre serve and the Sherwood Forest Wildlife Management area is sup porting an estimated population of 3,000 deer. "These 3.000 animals " he point ed out, "would need 150,000 acres on which to feed." "But at present, he added, the animals are "eating us out of house and home," feeding on rhododendron in the winter but avoiding mountain laurel. Twenty-five deer browse study plots have been or will be set up soon in Pisgah. Three others are planned for the Mt. Mitchell area. It will take six to seven years to complete the study. Particular worry of the officials is the "browse line." The deer have stripped several areas completely of . - all under growth. That means, they said, there will be no timber In those places for several years.
