Homesites Laid Out
On Hiwassee Lake
The Nantahala Forest, with head
quarters in Franklin, is keeping up
with post war trends in the bring
ing to light of the scenic resources
of this area. On Hiwassee Lake
Clint Johnson and Winston Rein
smith, Forest Service Recreational
Planners, have laid out summer
homesites. This project will be
followed up on Lake Santeetlah,
in Graham county, and Aquone
Lake in Macon county.
Making summer homesites avail
Ible to forest vacationists is in
keeping with the long standing
Forest Service object of providing
for the use of all resources which
the forests contain in the ways
which will make them of the great
est service. The U. S. Forest Serv
ice practices conservation through
use, with full recognition of all
existing individual rights and be
lieves that beneficial use must be
*'se by individuals.
Forest Service summer home
it es will be appropriately located
along selected lake shore frontage
and will be of sufficient size for
the individual user to feel that he
is alone in the forest. Lots will
range from Vfe to 1 acre in size.
Payments for lots will be nominal
and may be handled on an annual
basis with the permit subject to
annual renewal. Buildings and
development plans must be ap
proved by the Forest Service be
fore construction may commence.
Western North Carolina has for
years enjoyed the position of pos
sessing scenic splendor second to
'?one because of its mountainous
terrain and spectacular water
courses. Within the past two de
cades the landscape of the Nan
tahala Forest has been changed by
the construction of several large
lakes for hydro-electric power.
Rather than destroying the natural
beauty of this section these lakes
have enhanced the scenic beauty.
The Nantahala National Forest,
which was established in 1911, in
what is often considered the most
picturesque section of the moun
tains of Western North Carolina is
now virtually a "Land-O-Lakes
Within the Sky". Within the Na
tional Forest boundaries are seven
lakes of considerable size. These
lakes are: Aquone, Macon county;
Glenville, Jackson county; Hiwas
see, Cherokee county; Apalachia,
Cherokee county; Emory, Macon
county; Santeetlah. Graham coun
ty; and Fontana. Graham and
Swain counties. On those lakes
where the Forest Service controls
all or part of the shore line a com
plete plan is made to determine
what the best use is for particular
portions of the lake shore and ad
joining land. It is the National
Forest land policy to devote each
acre to the highest forms of use
to which it is adapted. The de
termination of what constitutes
the highest use will be governed
by the welfare of the community
rather than by the interests of an
individual applicant or the revenue
to be derived. The Federal For
est Service is actively engaged in
mapping out and plotting where
summer homesites wil be located
as well as future areas for organi
zation camps, public picnic areas,
bathing facilities and camping
grounds.
The Nantahala Forest Adminis
tration is aware of its obligations
to the public and local communities
within its boundaries. The local
economy of tho counties within the
Nantahala National Forest should
reap untold benefits from the de
velopment of its scenic resources.

those inclined to be unruly under
control in order to prevent mass
punishment for the crimes of a
few; how the 6.000 people in the
camp represented a cross-section
oi the world: and the conditions
which existed throughout the per

conditions have been completed be
tween the Veterans Administration
and the North Carolina Dental So

chief for the Richmond branch of
VA. revealed today.

the state extends the new VA pro
ject throughout the branch area,
which includes North Carolina.
Virginia, West Virginia. Maryland
and the District of Columbia. The
program is already functioning in
Virginia and West Virginia, and
in a matter of weeks should be
operating in the other states. Dr.
Lanier said he anticipates that
3.700 dentists throughout the
branch area will participate.
Dr. E. M. Medlin, of Aberdeen
