Opening of fishing waters in state-federal cooperative wildlife management areas, for three week-end periods during 1937, will add choice fishing territory to the list of streams available to anglers in Western North Carolina this sea sort. The Daniel Boone game refuge in Grandfather mountain section, the Mount Mitchell refuge, Curtis creek in McDowell county, and waters at the head of Pigeon river in Haywood county, will be open to fishermen during the week-end periods May 7-9, June 4-6 and July 2-4. The last period which will in clude the July fourth national holi day period is expected to be a particularly popular one. . Fees for fishing in the refuge areas, according to Pisgah national forest officials, will be one dollar per day in addition to the require ment , of the regular state fishing license. Daily limit has been set at 15 and length of trout minimum of six inches for brook trout and eight inches for rainbow trout. Trout streams elsewhere in this section were opened to fishing under state license on April 16 and will remain open until August 31. Lower reaches of streams in the Great Smoky mountains na tional park will be opened to angl ers on May 16 with Tennessee or North Carolina fishing licenses re quired in accordance with' the por tion of the park, in which the fish ing streams lie. Columbus carried cows on his second voyage, landing at . Santo Domingo. Forty years later cows.j arrived on the mainland by way of the shores of Florida and Mexico. Most Auto Fatalities Caused by Speed A majority of the nation's 36,575 fatalities in 1936 occurred in rural sections. The outstanding cause of these deaths was high speed. Coupled with this was inadequate lighting. Road surface conditions played Only a minor part. In some sections, liquor was a factor, but it is only fair to state that there is no evidence of drunken driving being materially, on the increa&e. What is happening is that cars are being driven at night in rural sections too fast for lighting con ditions. The average, car today ( is capable of making a speed of from 70 to 100 miles an hour, and speeds of from 60 to 80 miles an hour are not .Uncommon in rural night driving. These are unsafe speeds and are the causes of most rural night fatalities. Experiments by ex perts in many states have demon strated definitely that night driving under the very best conditions at more than 50 miles an hour is un safe. When going faster than this, drivers, equipped with the Very best lights and brakes, cannot see ob jects on the straight-away in time to stop 'before striking the object. The stopping distance at 50 miles an hour is 243 feet and at 60 miles an hour, not an unusual speed in rural night driving, the stopping distance is 343 feet. Of course, the danger of driving at these high rates of speed when there are iw - I P curves or hills in the road is, great ly increased. From Bulletin of U. S. Dept. of Commerce. Tar Heel Hermit . Is Not Lonely ' '. , SPARTANBURG, S. C Lee (Boat) Greene, who has spent enough time alo.ne to know, says there is no such thing as loneli ness. .''', ; ' ' For 30 years, his neighbors say, for "12 or 15" Green says, he has lived in his one-room shack above Turbulent Suck creek, in" the wilds of Cleveland county, N. C, and a few miles above Gaffney, S. C. Rabbits, he says, and a "few skunks" are his most frequent vis itors, although of late ..travelers from "outside" have begun tp take an interest in the ancient figure who was accepted as commonplace years ago by his none-too-near neighbors. Many years ago, when timber was coming clown the then-important Broad river for the cotton mills which were a new thing in' those days, Green was a logger,' But, he said, "I took a likin' to the country. I wanted a quiet se cluded place where I could work and study." Hjs work consists of a little watchmaking. The only study he could or would, recall was of a national periodical. Yet he amazed newspaper interviewers with his A Tell Us of the Job . -V '". ';'";"'.' .'".".. .

' He talked about President Roose velt,' in whom he sees a seeker for the real future welfare of the country. He talked about Egyptian excavations. Tilling ho soil, depending upon the forest to prevent the rains from washing his shack and pos sessions 'into the creek, he express ed : approval of the national soil erosion program. Green lived for several years before building his shack in a houseboat on the river, and from it drew his nickname. He has an expensive calendar clock which he keeps set at the right time but one day fast and he n doesn't keep much track of time. He thinks he is "somewhere around 70". He is just as hazy as the length of his stay, in the neighborhood, but he is .not lonely. "I don't know what you're talking about," he 'said. "1 don't believe there's anything ' to it." ' "Scared of boogcys? Shucks, no. There aren't any boogcys bigger than me." But slyly, upon arrival of Strang--ers, he displayed, ahead of his .other possessions, two pistols. He didn't figure, he said, that anyone would climb the 'rugged crags tn his cabin the neighbors say he'll have to te "snaked out" if he ever gets sick to bother him. But he was ready, just in case.

He pondered his problem. Shortly afterward throng col lected suddenly. The mother "came to see what the excitement was. " In the center of the crowd, at the intersection of two busy streets, stood' Tommy, wearing Patrolman Brush's police cap and blowing lustily ort his police 'whistle. , "Suc cess," commented the policeman as the mother claimed her child. There are about 25,000,000 milk cows in America. In one- year they produce some 47 billion quarts of milk which, if placed in quart bot tles side-by-side, would reach 60 times around the earth. Good news for dairy farmers the world over. The almost universal custom of having tea between meals in England is giving way quite a bit to drinking milk in place of tea. This is especially true in llie fac tories.
