SYLVA IS TO HAVE BALLOON ASCENSION
JULY 4, FIRST ONE HERE IN 31 YEARS
In celebrating July 4th on Mon
day, the 5th this year, Jackson
county citizens and Sylva's visitors
will have the opportunity to see
their first ballcon ascension since
the county fair in 1917, and many
of the younger generation their
first in a lile-time. Through the
efforts of Charlie Campbell, who
is directing part of the 4th activi
ties and the Merchants Association,
Claude L. Shafer, famous balloon
ist and parachute jumper, of In
dianapolis, Ind., will come here
for an exhibition at 5:30 Monday
afternoon, the 5th.
Shafer has appeared at fairs and
various celebrations for a num
ber of years, and his performances
always please the crowds. His
ascensions are made on schedule
and his equipment is always the
best. He appeared at Asheville
last Sunday at the Recreation park
where thousands witnessed his
show.
A picture of the balloon is shown
in the advertisement on this page.
It is shown on the ground, then at
2,000 feet and the small spot at the
top of the picture represents 4,000
feet up, just before the parachute
jump is made.
The balloon ascensions and para
chute drops have always been one
of the most popular and thrilling

no exception, however it is one of
the first and oldest free acts to
day. The ascension will be made
from the Sylva Graded School
grounds, or the Mark Watson Field,
and will take place at 5:30 P. M.
afternoon of July 5 weather per
mitting. The committee has taken
out insurance should it rain, or
I bad weather prevail at the above
time, due to the fact that it has
taken quite a sum of money to
bring the balloon exhibition to
Sylva. Several dollars are being
spent in advertising this gigantic
4th of July celebration, by radio,
newspapers, window cards, and the
bumper cards which appear on
automobiles and trucks on the high
ways within the next few days.
If the old man weather will per

crowds in many of a moon. Nearby
Bryson City, Franklin, Waynes

villages are being well advertised
with handbills, window cards, etc.,

people from far and near to visit

celebration.

why 'Stepping "Down "
IS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU
Mjdson amazes motor-car world by
using vital "step-down" zone?not
available in any other car?to bring
you riding qualities and safety beyond
anything known before!
Word's going 'round?ami fast, too?
that Hudson gives you a "sweet','smooth,
safe ride that is a new high in motor-ear
j>erformanee!
Perhaps you've heard pleased and proud
Hudson owners talking about this ex
citing new exj>erience, but here's some
thing you may have missed hearing:
The key to this amattxng new ride lies
in that area just under the floor of the
average car, which in the New Hudson
becomes the "step-down" zone?as illus
trated in the sketches at the right.
This "step-down'* zone is all-important,
because experience has shown that the
lower to the ground a car can be built,
the better it will handle, the more sta
bility it will have, the safer it will be,
and thus the more enjoyable and com
fortable will be your ride.
Hudson, and Hudson alone, has accom
plished a near miracle of low-built
streamlining and smooth, safe, comfort
able riding with , a new type of base
frame which surrounds the passenger
compartment, and thus permits the floor
to be lowered down within it. Recessing
the floor creates the "step-down" zone
and a center of gravity that is the lowest
in any American stock car ? yet road
clearance is ample!
That's why Hudson has a hug-thc-road
way of going, even in cross-winds, and
on every conceivable kind of highway.1
When you see houf this car takes even <4
the sharpest curves, it will spoil you for f
any other type of automobilel You sense '
this delightful conformity to the road
the minute you begin your ride; and this
strtbility, plus the protection of riding
encircled by a sturdy box-section steel
frame, gives you a grand feeling of safe
well-being.
Sitting in this car is as downright satis
fying as stretching out in your favorite
easy chair. You ride on seats that are
lowered and cradled ahead of the rear
wheels and. even with its low silhouette,
this breathtakinglv beautiful motor car
gives you more head room than any
other mass-produced car built today!
Hudson's use of the vital "step-down"
zone in its exclusive, all steel Monobilt
body-and-frame* is a development that
required years of engineering work, the
perfection of new production techniques,
and millions of dollars in highly spe
cialized new plant investment. Perhaps
this explains why Hudson alone offers
this new design principle today.
The nearest Hudson dealer has a booklet
?yours for the asking ?which explains
how "stepping down" brings you advan
tages beyofld anything known before!

OTHER CARS?Here you can see that any car
with floor on top of the frame, as shown above,
fails to utilise that all-important space between
frame members (heretofore wasted by placing
floor on top of the frame). This results in a
high center of gravity, and either a high roof
line or insufficient head room.
NIW HUDSON?Here the important space be
tween frame members, shown above, becomes
the "step-down" zone?a highly useful addition
to interior passenger roominess that creates s
new, lower center of gravity, which in turn per
mits greater safety, improved roadability and
ride, a low, streamlined silhouette.

and is well acquainted with this
rugged mountain section, having
hunted and fished the entire region
many times. The searchers took
up the task Monday morning of
locating some trace of the missing
man.
"Mr. Hawkins, 73 years old, was
not in the best of health when he
disappeared from his home and it
is feared that he was taken sick
and crawled off to some secluded
spot and died, or that he has fal
len off some of the high cliffs and
killed himself.
"An emergency patrol of the
Boy Scouts of Sylva, including
Marshall Cooper, Bob Moody,
James Moody, Frank Askey, Earl
Collins, Bill Moody, Bill Edwards,
Edmund Brown and Hay Hooper,

aid in the search."

TIMBER TALKS
By W. C. H ENN ESSEE
Wood, The Indispensable
The years just passed proved
beyond a s.:~dc,w of a doubt that
civilization with all its conveni
ences and modernization cannot
survive without a few basic sub
stances. Among these is wood. ?
It is estimated that eighty per
cent of all American families live
in houses which are built chiefly
of wood. While millions of peo
ple use wood as the principal fuel
for heating their houses.
We hardly realize the many
ways in which we use wood. This
newspaper, for example, is print
ed on paper which was made al
most entirely from ground wood

North Carolina will reach its peak
about July 1.

pulp. In fact, most of- the knowl
edge whidh mankind has accumu
lated over the centuries is pre
served and recorded for future
generations by being written or
printed on paper which is ^.ade
of Wood pulp.
Now that we have seen that
wcod is definitely here to stay,
let's devise ways and means of
improving its quality. For many
land-owners that will mean a
complete reversing of present poli
cies. Instead of using only the
"cream" we may have to use the
"whole milk", or perhap only the
"whey" for a few years. In other
words, the better trees must stay
and the poorer ones must be weed
ed out.
Here are a few other suggestions
to assure development of timber:
1) Dedicate one out of every
ten acres on your farm to timber
growth.
(2) Select the land as to charac
ter and capacity to produce alter
native crops of greater value.
* (3) Become a grower of wood
and learn the techniques of the
business.
Idle waste land should be plant
ed to trees. Place your applica
tion for trees with the county agent
now.
