The law provides for the purchase of land for the protec tion of forest Pisgah National For est near here*was the first such federally-purchased tract. Sanford noted that North Caro lina's interest in forestry is not surprising "when we consider that of the 31,267,000 acres of land in North Carolina, more than 20.0JS, 000 are occupied by forests." Freeman said the federal and state governments also plan 3,900 new units for family picnicking and camping, complete with fire places, tables and other facilities. "I don't have to tell you what a tremendous attraction these pub lic forests in North Carolina pro vide for you who live here and for your visitors from every state in the union," said the secretary of agriculture. "The national forests are a pow erful magnet pulling,' in cver-in creasing numbers, hunters and fishermen, picnickers and other outdoor enthusists of every kind.

Annual Magazine Sale Starts At High School Appalachian High School began its annual magazine (ale today (Wed.) Thia project, which be gan about fifteen years ago, has grown steadily each year. A large number of the families in and around Boone depend on this ser vice for their magazines. Last year the school sold $4,00* worth of magazines, and this year the goal is $4900. According to the teachers work ing with the sale, the magazine event is more than just a pro ject to raise money. The studeats organize and carry out this pro ject through the student council. The officers of each of the fifteen homerooms organize their room, collect the money, award the pris es, and keep accurate records of the sales. Two members of the student body act'as chairmen of the project and work with the homeroom officers. The students determine how the proceeds of the sale will be used. In previous years the proceeds have gone to purchase new curtains and drapes for the auditorium, mir rors for the rest rooms, inter-com munication system and automatic bell system for the school, elec tric water coolers, audio-visual equipment Last year the proceeds were used to purchase science, math, and for eign language materials under the Nstional Education Defense Act. This is the only project the school sponsors to raise money, and the students and faculty are appreciative of the response by parents and friends in the school district.
