t^^he weather on Monday was 50
low, 75 high, rain .15 . . . What
about it being just 18 degrees
above freezing in Tryon just one
week from June, and yet you’ll
hear some of our winter visitors
say how they would hate to be
here in the summer time. Every
year more of them find out how
comfortable it is in Tryon during
the summer. They find there is
a mountain breeze blowing nearly
every night and that blankets are
necessary in the mornings; moun
tain hikes and picnics, boating
and swimming at Lake Lanier,
golf, tennis and swimming at the
Country club, horseback riding,
softball an-j numerous other ac
tivities besides war work, Red
Cross and other civic projects . . .
C. J. Lynch has just received a
^Jflider from W. H. Moulthrop,
^■iager of the (Jahiorma Jfarlor
Tmirs Co., who was here last fall
with the travel tours motorcade.
He writes, “You certainly gave
us all a delightful afternoon. In
looking over some old papers I
came across some photographs
taken of the event; would you like
to have them?” A letter went
right back for the photos. It just
shows that Try on's efforts to en
tertain made a lasting impres- j
sion .... Federal Court at An- |
derson, S. C., finds two violations i
of the gasoline ration act and re- j
fers them to Washington.i
