No. 1 peak of the summer, the secre tary of the chamber of com merce, Mrs. Margurite Potts, re ports the season "about aver age". She said the small resort town has been "packed" since July' l and Is Just now begin ning to catch Its breath again. Mrs. Potts doubts that the town profited very much from the detour route that has plac ed most of US 23-441 traffic within Its grasp this summer. Highlands' summer population Is made up of those who own homes and Is therefore stable, she pointed out. She estimated that very little of the traffic moving over the detour (NC 106 and US 64) came into Highlands since the junction of the two highways ^Spectacular USED CAR ^ r Savings jfm Select your Used Cars and Trucks from the largest selection in the area.

Before mak ing children's clothes at home or buying ready-mades. careful plan ning is necessary, says Julia Mc Iver. extension specialist in cloth is on the outskirts of town. Rubies Responsible In the Franklin area, the in creasingly popular Cowee Ruby Mines are responsible for the success of the season. The chamber of commerce, on tripling '55 registrations at Its Main Street information booth more than a month ago, reveal ed that more than three fourths of the inquiries were about ruby mining. Following nation-wide pub licity in the early spring, the ruby mines caught the fancy of the motoring public and legions of amateur "rockhounds" and since then a steady flow of vis itors has poured into the val ley. Many of them are now classed as "repeaters", having returned to prospect for gems as many as three and four times during the season. Ruby Influence Ruby mining also is being used In a variety of ways to boost the area and Individual businesses. Restaurants and motels are displaying ruby mine Informa tion signs. One motel distributes screen ing boxes at the mines with Its name prominently displayed on each. Still another court in Frank lin maintains a small rock col lection of native specimens in Its lobby for the convenience of guests. The manager also is well-versed on native stones and Is more than willing to offer assistance. One motel owner, Marshall Pettis, just recently Invested several hundred dollars In gem cutting equipment and plans to take a special course in lapidary this fall. The chamber of commerce, convinced of the effectiveness of bumper stickers, just recent ly reordered another thousand Cowee Ruby .Mine stickers. The stickers are turned over to mo tels and others and are affixed to the bumpers of out-of-state vehicles. On a recent visit, a Maconian from faraway Oregon reported seeing the Cowee stickers on a number of cars on his trip east. Valley Activity And there's activity In the valley among the several mine owners. With the Idea of making pros pecting more appealing, they're installing refinements, ranging from outdoor restrooms to waist-high sluices to make washing ruby gravel deposits easier. Teachers Give Library $100 Teachers of Cartoogechaye School are 100 per cent behind the building fund for the new Franklin Library. Miss Lassie Kelly, chairman of the library committee, this week reported the teachers contributed $10 each, for a total of $100. Other schools in the county are preparing to follow Cartooge chaye's lead, It is understood. ing at N. C. State College. Ease in cut. and comfort in design and fit help children for get themselves at play. Children shouldn't have tight fitting belts, j necklines, or sleeves, a child has no waistline, and a sash or belt constantly coming undone is a i 'l.

Many home fires are due to overload or short circuits, often between the walls of the home. Grade A milk purchased from producers in North Carolina dur ing the first six months of 1956 w-is at a record level compared with the same period for previous years, say members of the North Caroiina Milk Commission. Grade A milk production through June accounts for 43 per cent of total North Carolina produc tion. Tobacco specialists report that extended _ dry weather in some Piedmont' and mountain counties has reduced prospective yields for both the flue cured and burley crop. Staff members of the Agricul tural Marketing Service announce that fluid milk and cream sales to consumers by North Carolina distributors were up approximate ly eight per cent over the first six months of 1955 and right at 20 per cent above sales for 1953. Monthly gains were greatest in May and June, but all six months were above 1954 and 1955 levels. All sales gains were above four per cent. * Slate College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. When and how should roses be planted? A. Except in the highest eleva tions of the mountains, fall is the best time for planting roses. How ever, early spring planting Is gen erally satisfactory. In either case, dig the hole large enough so the roots can be spread out as they would naturally grow. Remove all broken roots. Cut the plant bank to five or six inches at time of planting. Mound soil over the stem of the plant and leave it in this position until new shoots start growing in the spring. Then remove the mound of soil. Set plants about 2l/i feet apart.

When Woodrow Wilson came to Horse Cove for a vacation, back In 1879, what route did he take after he and his family party left "the cars" and started on a 15 hour trip by stage? Mrs. W. N. Cook, of Franklin, who was born and reared in High lands. suggested this week that the group almost certainly left the train at Walhalla, S.
