The original E.T.& W.N.C. en gines except for #l2 at ★ Memories Shared Celeste Greer of Linville Falls, N.C. rode the Roan Mtn. & Doe River R.R. last Sunday and shared many memories with her fellow passengers. Celeste lived in Lenoir during 1918-1921 and worked recording deeds of land in the courthouses of Boone, Bakersville and Burns ville. To reach Boone from Lenoir, she would often need to travel the Southern R.R. to Marion, ride the Clinchfield R.R. to Johnson City, and take the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina R.R. (Tweetsie) to Boone. The Roan Mtn. & Doe River R.R. is a restored part of the E.T. & W.N.C. originally built in 1880-81 through the Doe River Gorge south of Hamp ton, TN.

Groups ★ 9 thrill all the passengers, but the ride had the most meaning for Celeste who nearly 60 years before rode the same route on her honeymoon. The world out side the gorge had changed greatly; the billion-year-old rocks remained unchanged. Daycare children from Newland, Bakersville, and Spruce Pine also rode the train. Historian and rail buff Brian Westveer hopes that fifty years from now these children will be able to again ride this unique bit of living history. You too can ride. Trains run from 19E south of Hampton, TN at 11:30 on Saturday and 1:30 on Sunday during September and Octo ber.

In recent years the South ern R.R. ended weekend passenger runs between Asheville and Old Fort. The Yancey stopped service be tween Burnsville and Kona. The Graham County ceased operations out of Robbins ville.

Mrs. Mayer said that Stihl chain saw sales were up 38% in 1976 compared to an industry decline of 5%. 1977 sales are up 20% over 1976. She announced that in 1978 three Stihl chain saw models will be built in the new three million dollar plant being erected at Virginia Beach, Va. The same high German plant standard of quality will be maintained at the new plant where the model 015 chain saw is presently being manufactured. By expanding the U.S. plant, Mrs. Stihl Mayer said, “Stihl chain saws will remain competitive with U.S. made saws in spite of the weakening of U.S. currency in relation ship to the German mark.” Leroy Bishop is manager of the Burnsville Store.

' County Key Banker - ' *"'• ML. ■’ To coordinate the agricul tural activities of the N.C. Bankers Association in this area, Clark E. Young has been named County Key Banker for Yancey County. NCSA President John A. Forlines, Jr. has announced that Clark will serve as County Key Banker during the next 12 months. He is Assistant Cashier of First- Citizens Bank & Trust Com pany, Burnsville. Forlines, who is chairman and president of the Bank of Granite, Granite Falls, called attention to the projects that are sponsored by the associa tion such as the Short Course in Modem Farming at N.C. State University for young farmers who are provided scholarships given by their home community banks, and Fight Army Worms With Pesticides The Fall Army Worm has appeared in several lawns, corn fields and some other crops. The army worms were first seen in Yancey County feeding on late planted corn crops in the later part of July. In recent weeks they have also invaded numerous lawns and other field crops. The army worms attack in devastating numbers and literally will devour their host plants if not controlled. More than 35 worms have been counted in one square foot of infested lawns. Activity of worms is greatest on dry sunny days, and this is the best time to spray for control of the worm. The female moth lays her eggs at night on the grass or other plants, and eggs hatch in about 5 days. The young larve (worms) feed at first near the ground, become full-grown in about 20 days, Donna, Ramona, Raymond Elkins Harvest Time [Cont’d from page 1] contributes to the quality of the produce. Harvesting after the flavor peak has passed will yield vegetables which may be tough, bitter, stringy, seedy or starchy, they find.
