Highlands Busy
Preparing For
Summer People
By JAMES L. AVERELL
Assistant Supervisor Nantahala
' Forest ;
. A. short visit to Highlands at this
time of the year finds the majority
of abe bodied men employed in
preparation for the coming of the
summer residents. Trucks go rac
ing by loaded with building stone
for walks, retaining walls Or houses ;
nurserymen's trucks are seen load
ed with boxwood bushes and arbor
vitae for landscaping someone's
Summer home. Carpenters and rock
masons are working with picked
crews to put the finishing touches
on smart looking summer homes
clinging 4o. some cliff , where a
beautiful Nvkw is assured. Real
estate agents rattle . around with
clients from Cuba or the Canal
Zone trying to help them select'
one of the many beautiful views
they could build oh. The tangle
of telephone lines and power lines
draped along the same right of way
indicate the rapid rate at which
Highlands has grown in the past
few years ; for each newcomer de
mands service as soon as the foun
dation of his house is laid.
Hedges of Hemlock and Pin
One finds crews of men digging
small hemlocks from where they
have seeded on their pasture land;
These are to be used for planting
as hedges. Many . beautiful ex
amples: can ht seen in Highlands
of hemlock and white pine used as
living fences . and kept niceiy
pruned.
Workmen lmve found that stone
for building is much harder and
mpre durable if collected from a
cliff that faces north rather than
rock that has fallen off a south
facing cliff. Apparently aging in
the sun has caused the rock, to
soften, while" that on the shady
northside remains hard.
One of the big activities,, of
course, is fuel wood. The summer
homes are all provided with open
fire places and this means many
hundreds of cords of wood will be
in demand as soon as the first
summer resident pulls in. So the
wood cutters are busy getting a
supply ready in advance.
Vacationists Make Jobs
Summer residents mean , people
on vacation that are expecting to
have a good time and find pleas
ure in making plans for cottages
and development of their grounds
All this means labor and skilled
workers and it is apparent that
Highlands is being pushed to meet
the pre-season demand this year.
' Dry Falls Station Built
The Nontahala National Forest
is busy reconstructing the path
way down to Dry Falls, using , a
low guard rail of 12 inch chestnut
logs, -supported by rock masonry
piers. A modern rock comfort Sta
tion is being constructed by the
CCC hoys from Otto camp along
side of the registry shelter. All
this should increase the use made
of this' popular development that
had over 30,000 people register
there last year. '.. . ,
Carmacks Return To
Prepare For Big Season
! Mayor and Mrs; Frank Carmack's
automobile again . parked on Main
street is a welcome sight to those
who have put through a long, hard
winter without a trip to Florida.
Their 'coming means that Spring
is here, in spite of a snowy lapse
over the week-end.
Major Carmack, who spent No
vember and December in Arkansas:
and Louisiana before going to
Florida for the remainder of the
winter, and who has been a press
agent for Franklin in three states,
is enthusiastic over the -prospects
of a bumper crop of tourists for
the coming season.
M rs. Carmack has likewise, ad
vertised the beauty of the Nanta
halas in New York, where she spent
the fall. They are. preparing to
put the Franklin Lodge and Golf
course in readiness .for summer
visitors.
Before and since their purchase
of this property last Spring, the
Carmacks have made this popular
resort one of the beauty spots of
this community and have enjoyed
a large share of Franklin's tour
ist business. Each year they have
added to the. capacity and attrac
tiveness of the " lodge and golf
course, and are now planning new
cottages and" additions to accomo
date a larger registration than they
have had in previous years.
Stating that this is the biggest
season Florida has ever had, Maj
or Carmack said that the Mayors'
tour through Florida was the great
est publicity stunt that Western
North Carolina ever put on, "Every
where they, were given a royal
welcome and opportunity to adver
tise this section over radio , arid
in the press. Florida outdid herself
in 'hospitality," ' said the Major.
"The people both residents and
tourists were interested in", hear
ing about the smaller towns', ;since
Asheville is already well known.
1 believe we will enjoy the best
season we have ever had.
"The tourist crop is one that
brings the best cash return, bring
ing increased .employment, '.increas
ing 'buying power of the residents,
greatly improving , the business of
merchants, filling stations' and
farmers." '
