Variety Vacationland Raleigh—New attractions, easier to get to, are greeting visitors to North Carolina’s "Variety Vaca tionland” which set new travel records last year. ' The Azalea Festival, ushering in April at historic Wilmington, sounded the cue for the march of spring from the Atlantic coast to ward the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains at the other ex treme of this 503-mile long state. Full schedules featuring golf and horses are on at the Mid South resorts of Pinehuru, the winter golf capital selected as the site of next fall’s Ryder Cup matches, Southern Pines, and Sedgefield, near Greensboro in the populous Piedmont, and at Tryon, whose thermal-belt location gives .it the unique status of a year-round mountain resort. Pinehurst, which last fall had its earliest opening, is extending its 1951 season to June —the latest ever. Record travel to the State in 1950—and expectations of an even greater year in 1951—prompted ex tension of the North Carolina's coastal and mountain resort sea sons into early spring to late au tumn months. More than 6 million visitors used national and state parks in the State in 1950—with more than 3 million of them visiting the unique Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains Nation al Park. These are the most pop ular of all the national parks. New motor courts and guest homes have been added, Increas ing the State’s popular-priced ac comodations. Prices range from $2 a night up in tourist homes and from $3 up in motor courts and hotels. Rates range all the way up to $32 a day, American plan, in luxury resorts. North Carotin as stepped-up highway construction added 4,650 miles of paved roads to the State’s 65,000-mile State highway system in 1950, and the million-dollar West Asheville bridge has been completed. This links the Blue Ridge Parkway closely to U. S. 19, leading directly to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Completion of the bridge to the Great Smoky Mountains followed opening of the newest link of the Parkway itself.- This is a stretch north of Asheville, which runs through mile-high Craggy Gar dens —with hundreds of acres of rhododendron, reaching blooming peak in late May and June—and affords direct access to the toll free State highway leading to the ■ •' ' krz*‘ - < tr THE DAILY RECORD, DtJNN, N. & FBI Head (Continued From Page One) a killing on defense contracts.

NEW MOPNTAIN AREA Outdoor enthusiasts who like nature in the rugged state will find a new mountain area near the Blue Ridge Parkway dedicated to them. This is the 7,600-acre Lin ville Gorge Wild Area, first such area to be set aside by the U. S. Forest Service In Eastern America. The area, lying between Linville Mountain and Jonas Ridge, is reached by sporty N. C. Highway 105. This leads from Linville Falls, just off the Parkway, to the west side of the wild area, on along the mountain crest and across Lake James to Nebo, of U. S. 70 west of Morganton. Wiseman’s View pic nic area on N. C. 105 provides a spectacular panorama of Linville Gorge.

Ford, as sistant forester for the State Col lege Extension Service. William and Mack Rice' of Route 4, Marshall, decided to plant bal sam poplar—or balm —of-Gilead as it is called in the mountains—on a small piece of moist run ning through their farm. The strip is about 10 feet wide and is located between the nearby road and a creek. The brothers cut balsam poplar twigs several years ago and push ed them into the moist earth half way between the creek and the road. These cuttings soon grew in to small trees. About two years ago the Rice brothers topped the trees and pick ed off the buds. The buds brought 65 cents a pound from a local herb dealer, who sells them to a med ical supply house. An aromatic re sin which covers balm-of-Gilead buds is used in' making certain medicines. Topping the balsam poplars caus ed them to sprout and become bushy, thus furnishing still more buds for the nekt harvest. Now the brothers are getting ready to harvest the new crop which they expect to sell at a price of 85 cents or mtore per pound. The extension forester says bal sam poplar grows well in the moun tain section, especially in the area frorp Madison to Watauga count ies. While many farmers in the area have harvested the buds for sale, few have made use of their idle land to grow the trees for commercial purposes, Ford believes. l l | ■ I Super-Poviet frQ&\osjP| 1 j •••even on today’s OVERCROWDED - S Yes, PRllco for 1951, brings you the finest table radio performance ever offered !
