GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS SOON TO BE
AFLAME WITH BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN COLORS
Within a few weeks, the annual
march of autumnal colors will be
gin in the vast hardwood forests of
the Blue Ridges and the Great
Smokies, those twin mountain
ranges which run the entire length
of western North Carolina.
And with them will come the an
nual army of sightseers for the
"leaf" season ? a vacation and
travel season now firmly establish
ed as one of the best visiting times
of the year.
Late in September will appear
the br.lliant red cf the sumac,
gums, scurwood, Virginia creeper (
dogwood, red maple and low bush
blueberry. They will blend with
the yellow of the sassafrass, birch!
ar.d yellow poplar, which, as the*
early reds fade, continue to blend
with the late reds of the scarlet
and red oaks, the tan of the white
oak, and the yellow of the chest
nut oak. These last-to-turn con
tinue the color into the first week
or ten days of November.
The glorious, flaming color pro
duced by the greatest remaining1
stand of hardwocds in America is
against a background of ever
greens, ranging from the bright;
green conifers to the sombre j
blacks of the balsams. The arrival'
of fall color is so gradual that
everywhere during October the
traveler will find a favorite view.
Usually, though, October 15th is
considered the climax of the leaf
season.
Many resorts will remain open
as usual to take care of leaf visit
ors, and in many instances, sum
mer rates are reduced by from 10
to 25 per cent.
The Blue Ridge Parkway, the
Greet Smoky Mountains Nation
al Park and .the forest lands of
Pisgah and Nantahala National
Forests are favored goals of visit
ors, and all facilities of these areas
will be made available during the
fall.
Weather generally is dry at this
time, days sunny, nights from cool
to chilly, the air clearer.
Canadian controls on exports of
slaughter and feeder cattle and
dressed beef were lifted on Aug
ust 16.
