Miss Mae Irene Flentye,
Tryon, N. C.
Dear Miss Flentye:
h I appreciate your writing very
• much indeed. I will be much pleased
if you will pass on my explanation
to the Garden club and I will be
exceedingly sorry if they do not
appreciate our position. As I
think you know, we are very much
interested in improving the ap
pearance of our roperty and had
plans looking toward that end.
This deluge of wood took us by
surprise. It happened altogether
as a result of the precipitate re
cession in business which started
last September. The growing of
pulp wood in Polk county is, I
believe, one of the best crops the
farmers can have. It holds the
soil and permits the growth of a
crop on land which, if cultivated,
would wash. We, therefore, made
a great effort to find a market for
wood. It has been a great relief
fcand a boon to the farmers of Polk
bounty. You can see from the
pile how the farmers have respond
ed to this opportunity.
In the ordinary course of events
this wood would have been shipped
almost as soon as it came in. In
fact, much of it would have been
loaded right from trucks on to
freight cars. When the recession
hit us, and we were informed that
the mills could not take wood at
present, we were faced with the
question of whether to shut off the
farmers or to take the wood and
hold it until the mills were ready
to accept the wood. So many
farmers were dependent on the
wood for their meat and bread that
we decided to take the wood. We

Try on’s Seventh
Annual Dog Show
Attracts Crowd
By Edith Missildine
In Asheville Citizen-Times
Tryon, March s.—An unusually
large number of residents and
visitors to Tryon turned out today
for the seventh annual dog show,
which took place at Harmon Field
at 2 o’clock. The balmy spring
weather added zest to the occasion
and each of 11 classes passed off
smoothly.
H. B. Vanderhoef was in charge
of entries, assisted by Captain R»
F. Zogbaum, and Jerry D. Drew,
The show was directed by K. A.
Bowen. Judges included Walter
West, Middleburg. Va., George W.
Vanderhoef, Jr., New York City,
and Mrs. David Baker, Greenwich,
Conn. M. B. Flynn acted as mas
ter of ceremonies, and ribbons were
presented to the winners by Miss
Isabel DuCharme.
Spectators lined the ring in
which the dogs were shown by
heir owners.
An unusual feature of the show
was the dog and owner relay race,
in which dogs were lined up on one
side of the ring with their owners
on the other. At a signal, the
dogs were released to run to their
owners, who then seized them by
the leash and returned to the other
ide of the ring. This really diffi
cult feat was won by Bob Donald
son with “Buddy”.
After the grand parade, which
