LINES AND MORE LINES—Forty-six hundred resident students
flooded the Appalachian State University last weekend as they
readied themselves for classes which began Monday morning. There
was the expected confusion and delay as traffic snarled around
dormitories and as endless registration lines grew longer. But
4600 students and almost as many administrators agreed that
without planning, the situation could have been a lot worse. As
students headed into their first week at classes, problems resolved
themselves and students and faculty show signs of settling down to
schedule. Above, students slowly file through the cafeteria lour^e
to pay their quarterly fees.
PIGEON ROOST NEWS
Says Tobacco Blooms Are
Source Of Honey For Bees
BY J. MILLER,
RELIEF, N. C. 28769
The writer and family accom
panied by our good friends Mr.
and Mrs. Sam Owensby of Mi
ami, Fla., who are spending a 30
day vacation stay in the Mitchell
County area spent last Friday
and Saturday in Mitchell, Avery,
Burke and Yancey County visit
ing several new places sight
seeing.
First Friday night we spent
several hours at Wisemans View
and had picnic supper and watch
ing for Brown Mountain Lights.
There was too much haze on the
Jonas Ridge Mountain to be a
good night to see the phenomenon
lights.
My cousin Carmon Miller and
family joined our party at Wise
mans View to watch for Brown
Mountain lights. It was the Mil
ler family fourth time to watch
for the lights and Mr. and Mrs.
Owensby had also seen the lights
before. But it was the first time
that anyone in our family had
ever visited Wisemans View.
On our way up to Wisemans View
we looked down on Linville
River gorge and Linville Falls at
several points of interest. It
was really a great sight to see
all the wonderful views es
pecially the formation of the
rocks on the mountainsides.
After visiting Wisemans View
we returned back to the summer
home of our friends Mr.
and Mrs. Owensby and spent the
night which is located near Little
Switzerland. They call their
place Dogwood Cove”. It
certainly is a beautiful place.
On Saturday we traveled many
mile* of the Parkway and visited
Crabtree Meadows and had pic
nic dinner on Mt. Mitchell. We
came back by Busic on South
Toe River and visited Carolina
Hemlock Camp Grounds. We
certainly had a most interest
ing and enjoyable trip.
On the same trip Mr. and Mrs.
Owensby visited the Hughes
farm at Byrd Creek on Pigeon
Roost and had the Miller Park
Hughes ground them a “turn”
of corn on his grist mill which
they will take It back to their
home in Florida.
Mr. Owensby is a native of
Crossville, Term., a mountain
section near Knoxville and
Mrs. Owensby is a native of
Georgia. They both love the
mountains of North Carolina.
There was singing and
preaching service held Sunday at
the Pigeon Roost FreewUl Bap
tist Church. The pastor Holt
Harrell done the preaching and
singing was done by the Miller
choir and Wllburt Barnett
and Eddie Lewis picked the gui
tar for him. Dinner was served
on tables on the church lawn and
a very large crowd was In at
tendance.
We learned something this
summer season that we never
knew before that honey bees was
great number in tobacco fields
when the tobacco was in full
bloom and Just before it was
ready to be topped. From all
indications the bees was gather
ing sweet honey from tne
tobacco blootn. The farmers lets
their tobacco bloom out good now
before they ever top it and prob
ably the bees can soon gather
a lot of honey from a half acre
crop of tobacco.
Many of the farmers here now
spray their tobacco with some
kind of sucker control after they
top it and the farmers report
that they don't have a sucker to
pull off.
Harvesting of tobacco in this
lower end of Mitchell County
t *-1 ■» « ’a » V »• -s h
section is stil going on in full
swing. Much tobacco was set
out late and the completing of the
harvesting of tobacco this seas
on will probably be a little late
than usual. One farmer said that
with the cool nights and warm
days the crops will ripening
awful fast.
Some farmers here have
already dug their potato crop
and report that their crop made
a good yield.

Me Neely and Shirley Ray,

NEIGHBORS OFFER HELP
Andale, Kans.—When Gordon
Smith, a farmer, seemed to have
too many troubles, many friends
brought farm equipment and
prepared his land for planting in
just a few hours. After he had
received word that his son was
wounded in Vietnam, he acci
dently cut off several of his
fingers in a lawn mower.
