THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
READY TO UNDERGO THE
RFIGORS OF MT. MITCHELL
Move Than a Dcsen Applications Re
ceiver by the Weather Bureau.
Raleigh, Dee. ftO—oW—There are
plenty of people ready to undergo the
rigors of Mount Mitchell in mid-win
ter, and to put up with the solitude
of the highest point in eastern Amer
ica through a winter, provided it is
made worth while. .
This has been made plain in a
dozen or more applications received
by l.ee A. Deuson. of the local weath
er bureau, applying for the joB of
spending the winter on Mitchell, in
order to lenrn how cold it gets on
the peak in mid-winter.
As one man put it, “if you want
n mail with the fortitude to with
stand the solitude and altitude, as
well as the intense cold. I am that
man.” Other letters are along the
same line. All are interested, how
ever. to know if the job would be
made "worth while" sor s them. In
quiries and applications for the job
have come from various parts of this
state, as well- as South Carolina and
other southeastern states.
The way it fill came about wa‘s
tlirougtj an Associated Press dispatch
from Raleigh, in which it was stated
that it was not known how co'.d it
really gets on top of Mount Mitchell
in mid-winter, because the weather
bureau had never been able to get
any cue to spend the winter on the
peak. Following publication of' tfie
story, the applications began to come
to Mr. Denson, most of them via
Washington. ■
Herewas a job with a thrill, with
a bit of danger about it. with cold
mid solitude — y,es. but perhaps an ex
cellent job, if it only were made
worih while, the applicants appeared
to think.
Mr. Denson explained today that
the saitomeut that the bureau Pad
nevei/ been able to get any one to
spend tile winter on Mitchell was
quite true, but he also explained that
the job was without remuneration.
At various pifints over the state. |
said tile weather man, are peopi* who '
co-opearte with the bureau ill getting j
a record of the climatological data of |
their particular locality and of the I
state as a whole. The bureau fur- J
nishes the apparatus and the observer j
makes tile readings and reports to
the bureau in Raleigh.
In some oases it is done as a tnat-j
ter of community interest and pride, i
in others persons personally value ac
curate records of this kind, and so
co-operate with thq bureau, and in a
large proportion of the instances it
is somewhat of a hobby with the co
operative observer—he "just likes to
make such observations and keep such
records." said Mr. Denson.
In he case of the observer on
Mount Mitchell, it is ail instance of
co-operation between the Forest Serv
ice and the weather bureau. The
former keeps a man on Mitchell dur
ing the spring, symmer and fall, and
observes the climatic conditions, tem
perature. rainfall, etc., and records it.
partly for its own information, partly
ns a matter of co-operation with the
weather bureau. And it is through
the forest service that the Mount
Mitchell data is obtained.
During mid-winter, explained Mr.
Denson. Mitchell is usually covered
with a blanket of snow, there is little
danger of forost fires, the weather is
highly disagreeable, and thus the for
est service man comes down to civili
zation and lower altitudes for a
while.
Thus it seems probable that the mid
winter-temperatures of Mofiit Mitchell
may not be recorded for sometimeto
come.
