To illustrate the amount of tim ber sold during the year, it was pointed out that, had all the 40 million board feet of timber been made available for construction of dwellings, a total of 5,600 fiv? room houses could have been built ? enough to house the people of a city of 28.000. Actually, of course, a consider able volume was converted into pulpwood for paper manufacture, and into specialized products, such as flooring, furniture stock and in terior trim ? all contributing to ward solution of the national prob lem of getting back to normal pro duction. The only Southern forests ap proaching the Nantahala in timber sold last year were the Ouachita and the Texas, both in the pine region, which produces timber far faster than this area. The Ouach ita figure for the year was 30 mill ion board feet, and that for the Texas was 27 million. The year's timber sales, of course, provided labor for thous ands of woods workers, loggers, truckers, and sawmill operators in this and adjoining counties. In addition .the counties ? Macon. Swain, Cherokee. Graham, and Clay ? in which the Nantahala forest lies will reap a cash benefit of $35,000. Of this amount, $25,000 will be prorated on an acreage percentage to the five counties for schools r.nd roads. The remaining $10,000 will come back to the Nantahala headquarters for development of roads within the forest.
