LOOKOUT TOWER ON TOXAWAY MOUNTAIN Much Constructive Work Has Been Done In Forests By CCC Campers ■There’s a lookout tower on Toxaway Mountain" sounds like the title of a popular eoft.tr but it isn't. Toxaway look out tower is a thing of steel, rising 43 feet into the air and affording shnrn r.y.d observers a wonderful vantage point from which to spot forest fires that may break out in large tracts of timber surrounding this mountain. Credit for erecting this tower goes to CCP camp P-i>6, Gem pan.. 3448, of Itrcvard. Coining into this urea on July .. iu35, from the vicinity of North Wllkesboro.
