Such is the phi losophy of life of Aunt Doc Waldroop who hves at the foot of the Nanta halas ten miles west of Franklin. For 'seventy-three years sjie has roam ed through the Nantahalas from the Georgia line to Nantahala Station. There is not a creek from the head of the Nantahala river to highway No. 10 that she has not explored. Everi now at the age of 73 she fre quently camps out at night in some laurel thicket on the waters of the river she loves so well. When the call of the mountains becomes too strong to resist she dons her heavy shoes, climbs the heights of the Nan tahalas and finally comes to rest be side some purling brook on the west ern slope. "Those camping trips are the happiest moments of my life," says Aunt Doc. There the peace of the Creator of the Universe enters deeply into her soul, the troubles of life are for gotten as she lingers in close proximity to Nature and she returns to her home with a sweeter conception of the Great Scheme of Life. While on these trips she gathers many "medicinal herbs including "sang" for which she finds a ready sale. Not that she needs the money, for her mountain fa"rm supplies in abun dance all her wants. Just at present the crops qn her farm promise a wonderful harvest. "1 have all I need toi provide for my wants during the remainder of my life," says Aunt Doc, 'but I just like to see things growing and I like to keep busy." Mrs. Waldroop states that she has never been lonely a minute in her life. She enjoys her children, her neighbors and 4her friends, but most of all sh enjoys her mountains. Years ago when a young girl she was gathering "sang" which then "growed shoulder high." But let Aunt Doc tell the story, t "I had about fifty pounds of 'sang" lugging it down, the t.nm.f r ... , , (i - " Teachers Incrcace RALEIGH, Aug. 2. Teachers with hiph scholastic training tend to in crease, while those with the least training tend to decrease, according to State School Facts, publication of the Department of Public Instruction. In 1921-22, that paper points out, approximately 15 per cent of the white teachers and 2.5 per cent of the colored teachers were college gradu ates. In 1929-30 the percentage of white teachers with four years stand ard college training had increased to 42.4, and the percentage of colored teachers with this amount of training to 12.1. The percentage of teachers with' three years of college training, the paper shows, increased from 5.8 in 1921-22 to 21.1 in 1929-30 for the white race, and from .8 in 1921-22 to 19.5 in 1929-30 for the colored race. Decreases and Ii&reaies White teachers with two years col lege training had decreased during this period from 17.4 per cent to 14.4 per cent, whereas colored teachers slightly increased from 11.4 per cent to 12.4 per - cent. The one-year of college training white teachers in creased in percentage from 55 in 1921-22 to 16.2 in 1928-29. Last, year, 1929-30, there was a decrease in. this type of teacher. The percentage of colored teachers of this type increased from 1.5 in 1921-22 to 17.9 in 1929-30. The percentage of teachers with training below college level show a decided tendency to decrease. In 1921-22 more than 50 per cent of all white teachers and over 80 per cent of all colored teachers had no college training. In 1929-30 only 7.5 per cent of the white, teachers employed and 38.1 per cent of the colored teachers were in this class. 3 I ' i . i i. miiiiiu. .ii - -a aw, 111 .ijf """"""" 1 . -n a couple bt cubs. One. ofthecubs let out a squall and .the b'ar made for me. Round and round a big tree we had it. Sometimes I was chas ing the b'ar and then the b'ar was chasing me. In the meantime the cubs had wandered off up the moun tain. One of them again squalled and the b'ar left me to see what was the matter with her cubs." Just above where the race took place was a big rock cliff. The b'ar started to climb this cliff and loosed a land slide. Big rocks came tumbling by me with the speed of a train. I scrooched behind a tree until the slide passed and that's the only experience I ever had with a b'ar." Watauga B'ar Causes Flight Dr. Rogers is . responsible for this story. In fact he is responsible for breaking all speed limits between J. B. Brendle's home and Franklin. It seems that the Doctor's duties called him to the neighborhood of Watauga few days ago. Mrs. J. B. Brendle had been canning some peaches -and (f( ,,( ' -- ' 'J. ""-ft. i. ."I .

About that time Dr. Rogers came by ana Blanchar proceeded to tell him about the big bear and asked Dr. Rogers to look at its3 tracks. "When was the bear here?" asked Dr. Rogers. (Only a few minutes ago," replied Blanchard. "Sorry, Blanchard." said Doc, "but I have a hurry call in Franklin." With that Doc stepped on the gas and Blanchard reports that the roar of the motor ' could be heard until the Doctor topped'' the hill at the home of Mr. E. S. Hunnicutt about three miles away. .

Much Fishing, No Fish : Mr. Fred Slagle, county game ward en, reports that the department has sold, more fishing licenses this year than ever before. A great percent of these licenses have been purchased by men living outside of ' the state. Mr. Bob Burnette who lives near Aquone on the Nantahala states that in the past three months there have been at least 100 men per week on the Nantahala. Howrever, Bob says that the fish have beqn holding a big convention in a deep . hole and have not been a home to their friends.
