Nantahala
National Forest
Did
You
Know
That
Of the ten fire lookout towers oper-.
ated by the U. S. Forest Service
on the Nantahala National Forest
five are located in Macon county.
In addition, one tower (Frye Mtn.)
is operated by the National Park
Service and another tower (Toxa
way) is operated by the State For
est Service.
These towers are all connected
by telephone line. They are at pres
ent all occupied by regular look
outs and CCC enrollees, who are
keeping a vigilant watch for the
tell-tale "wisp of smoke indicating
the presence of a forest fire.
Fire finders" are located in each
tower which enable tlte lookout to
plot the exact locatioi of any fire
spotted. . Some of the lookouts,
veterans of many a fire season,
have developed uncanny judgment
in spotting fires, determining their
origin and estimating their spread.
Practically every fire that starts
is picked up by the lookouts within
15 minutes after it starts.
The exceedingly dry weather dur
ing the months of September and
October has resulted in the woods
becoming tinder - dry. Hunters,
woods-workers, and farmers should
be exceedingly cautious with their
fire to see that none gets out into
the woods. ,

It is with a great deal of satisfaction that
The Franklin Press calls attention to Girl Scout
Week this year. The events of the past year
make such an organization stand out in pleasant
contrast, for the Girl Scout movement is one
whose aims and activities typify, the American
spirit of peaceful, wholesome living. The Girl
Scouts are looking ahead . . . and are preparing
for a future of competence, happiness and good
citizenship while enjoying at the moment those
healthful, educational and character building
pursuits that form the basis of the Girl Scout
program. The Franklin Press urges every one
in Macon County to lend their active support to
the Girl Scouts in order that their aims, activities
and ideals may be further extended.
