SELF-LOVE.
Sin of self-love possesseth all thine
eye
And all thy soul and all they every
part;
And for this there is no remedy,
It is so grounded in thy heart.
You tKink no face so, gracious as thine
No shape so true, trui.h of such ac
count; r
And for thyself thine own worth do
define, 1
As you all others in worth surmount.

THE FOREST SITUATION OF
HAYWOOD COUNTY.
(Continued on another page.)
large part of the county is in Na
tional Forest land which is protected
by the United States Forest Service.
And that this appropriation is justi
fied is unquestionable proven by the
fire record of the two counties for
1925. .
Appropriation for MOO, No. fires
BO, area burned 16,867 acres, damage
$I92,77a
, Appropriation for Buncombe $1,000,
No-fires 46, area bured 4,0S0 acres,
damage $7,558. , , .
j Thus by spending $1,000 in fire
, prevention Buncombe county, kept. her
I losses down to $7,558, while Haywood
spent only $400 and lost $192,773 in

I both cases were matchod by an equal

The North Carolina department of

of children during the summer.
Many of the social functions held
jduiint; the season have their origin in
the piogiums of the Junaluska Wo
j men's Club. Sports of all kinds are
encouraged, with necessary equip
ment provided lor the enjoyment of
water sprots, golf, tennis, hiking,
horseback riding and baseball.
Modem conveniences of all kinds
have been installed so as to provide
for creature comforts. Electric
lights, a piped water supply and sew

throughout the grounds.
Duke Summer School.
A feature of the coming summer
program will be the summer school
to be conducted by Duke University
during l'J2G. It is believed that the
courses offered will attract many
students as the splendid climatic con
ditions are conducive to the success
ful accomplishment of much good
work while at the same time taking
full advantage of the recreational fa
cilities offered. Through the construc
tion of two large new buildings at the
lake, additional facilities for caring
for the added number of visitors each
year have been well provided for.
Private homes are continually spring
ing upon all parts of the lake front
age property and adjacent territory,
so that a community of home owners
is a feature of the annual gathering.
In addition to the regular confer
cnuce, there is planned this coming
season a conference of the Y. W. C.
A. and the W. C. T. U. which will at
tract large numbers of delegates, it is
believed.
Several large hotels and a number
of modern boarding houses offer, in
addition to dormatories, facilities for
carrying for the immense crowds that
make their summer pilgrimage to
Junaluska.
Those who take up permanent resi
dence in the assembly grounds, as
many do, are finding that the new
township school system offers splen
did instruction for their children.
There is a new seven-room brick sruc
ture, just on the border of the assem
bly property, with large auditorium,
while those desiring high school train
ing are accommodated at the new
Waynesville building to and from
which transportation is provided by
a school bus system.
From the standpoint of accessibili
ty, the assembly is well located, being
on a branch of the Southern Railway ;
and served also by the Appalachian
Scenic Highway of which the assona- i
tion is a member. The highway ling
from Asheville to Junalusk i i.i paved
practically throughout, affording an
easy motor ride through some of the j
mo.-t enjoyable scenery of the entire
region. J
The Assembly also has active mem-
bership in the Asheville Chamber of
Commerce and the Waynesville Cham
ber of Commerce, and in both com
munities numbers countless friends j
friends and staunch supporters.
Speakers of nafional and interna
tional note are numbered upon the
programs each summer, so that those
attending are assured of thj best,
talent to be had upon the lecture plat
form. A huge open air auditorium at
the lakeside affords an enjoyable
gathering place where the gracing
effects of outdoor life can be coupled
with the stiumlation received from
hearing programs of exceptional mer
it directed along various educational
and religious lines.
Officers of the Assebly are J. R.
