Returning home from a trip, .she found her automobile had become dusty from standing on the driveway at the side of her home. She ordered a servant to wash the automobile without moving it. It later was discovered that the washing had dampened a dynamite stick at tached to the engine by unknown per son and prevented it from exploding when the motor was ignited.

"JjU Salespeople Urged To Co-operate With Hospitality Group The salespeople of the Waynesville stores can co-operate with o.her cit izens and the Governor's Hospitality committee of Haywood county in sev eral ways. One of the first, sometimes the only personal contact a tourist makes in a city, is with the salespeople. It is fortunate for Waynesville that people employed in the stores are above the average in intelligence and ability. This makes the carrying out of such a program as has been outlined by the Governor's Hospitality committej a much simpler t:;sk. The store employes by a thorough study of the points of interest of North Carolina,, can make the strang er within our gates feel more wel come and at the same time give valu able information as to where to go and what to do during their stay in North Carolina Strangers are al ways delighted when someone shows an interest in their visit and if the sales personnel has a complete knowl edge of our city and surroundings there is every reason to believe that the visitor will appreciate this added attention. Employes of retail stores should investigate the sports activities of area and so be able to recommend where to go for good fishing, hunting, horseback riding, golf, or other sports. The salesperson should be sufficiently informed to give directions and infor mation about places of interest within and without the city. He or she should know the location and time of meeting of civic and social clubs open to strangers the .hiking club, the luncheon clubs Such contacts with groups or similar interests will al ways breed a friendly spirit. If each merchant would consider himself a committee of one to carry on some sort of intensive training for the instructing of his employes, upon the subjects mentioned above the atmosphere of a friendly resort com munity would be enhanced.

Feeding Bears In Park Would Be Dangerous Practice, Says Eakin Visitors In Park Will Not He Al lowed To Feed Hears; Would Hun Risk Of Injury FINES CREEK GIRLS ON FARM PROGRAM Nothing Better FOR SCHOOLTIME LUNCHES fCX-jj Round Out Their Meals Every Day With Plenty Of PET Pasteurized Milk Pet Dairy Products Co. Considerable publicity has been given to the bears in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park within the past few weeks. In view of the fact that both the press and the public are apparently unaware of a National Park Service regulation which makes it unlawful to feed bears, much of ths publicity has been an undesirable influence, J. R. Eakin, superintend ent, pointed out recently. , "Over a long period it has been proved that the feeding of bears by mankind tends to be detrimental to both parties. It makes of the ever hungry bear a dangerous beggar nat ural caution has been overpowered by the case with which food is gotten from tourists; and the tourist in oblig ing this animal is running a foolish risk of serious injury. In time a begging bear becomes overly-insist ent, and the danger to mankind con sequeniiy Decomes greater, f ood is the bear's chief concern, and as long as the animal is tempted by the smell or sight of food there is no telling what may happen. "With the protection given all wild life in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, practically 11 species have increased in number. Within this sanctuary the black bear now has no natural enemies, and it is t3 be expected that population of these animals will increase to such an ex tent that the hiker will have a good chance of seeing animals in their na tive home. Where mankind's food is not to be expected, the bear is a wild animal which will remain wild in other words an animal which will not molest the hiker or the tourist. "The authorities of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park pos itively will not lower the prestige of this marvelous wilderness area by being plagued by a number of dan gerous, overstuffed 'tourist bears,' consequently all visitors are urged to assist us in keeping our bears wild. This can be done by never feeding the animals, by reDoitine all such violations to our rangers, and by de positing all remains of lunches in containers which are provided for that purpose. '". The bear problem in some of the western national parks where tour ists have been feeding bears for years, has become a very serious matter. Dozens of bear bites or scratches have been reported each month and conditions became so bad it was noc essary to break up the practice of feeding bears even if this required making arrests and assessing fines. "When a bear becomes too insist ent for food he is either trapped and removed to some remote section of the park, or destroyed. In the Great Smoky Mountains National Park 'tourist bears' must be destroyed as there are no parts of the park that are not used by the park Visitors."
