In the decade before 1960 it lost nearly 10 per cent of its population. Since that date, however, it has gained more than 11 per cent, and in the last five years the number of jobs in the County has tripled. Here a fast-growing tourist industry is mainly re sponsible for the turnaround." Mr. Fischer notes that out migration from North Carolina to northern cities is ending, for while “folks are still moving away froir. the mountains and coastal plain" they are now ‘‘settling inside the state in the thriving industrial towns of the Piedmont." Mr. Fischer is highly compli mentary of the work being done by the Appalachian Regional Co mmission, and concludes that “the nation’s investment in Ap palachia is beginning to pay off." “The Best Investment On Earth Is Part Of It” “The Little Office with the Big Acreages” JUST LISTED — The finest, best located property.
