at Asheville.

along with $7.50 for a permit. The
blanks cannot be secured at the Pis
gah Ranger station, Ranger John
Squires of Pisgah Forest, who will
have charge of the hunt, said that all
application blanks were being hand
led by the Asheville offlco In order
that the correct number could be
checked At all times.
Method of applying for a permit are
—write or call at the Asheville office
of the forest service in the Arcade
building for application blank; mall ap
plication to the Regional Fiscal Agent,
U. S. Forest Service, Atlanta, Ga.,
along with money order or certified

This Is the first time In the history
of the hunt that both deer and bears

however, is not charged until after the

said that checking stations would be
maintained at Cantrell creek on South
Mills River and Big Creek on North

R is not known here how many ap
plications have been made, but reports
from Asheville Wewnesday were to the
effect that several hundred applied the
first day, and as the announcement was
made in the Sunday Asheville papers
