r THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER h i THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Page 4 : r t -J;-' ifci Picnic Turned Over To Bears In Park (Continued from page 1) by visitors in the park. This prac tice is becoming quite dangerous, as the park officials have warned the public from time to time, asking their co-operation in this matter. They claim that over a long period it has been proved that the feeding of bears by mankind tends to be detri mental to both parties. It makes the hungry bear a dangerous beggar, and when fed by the tourist, will be taught that he can thus obtain food, which will result in serious injury. Food is the bear's chief concern and when he is tempted by the smell of food there is no accounting for what will happen. In the case related by Mr. Shelton the park officials arrived and hur ried the bears off to the woods, and no damage was done, but the incident shows what the bear problem will be come in the Smokies, if those visiting the area do not take every precau tion to keep the bears "wild." A Blue Hidge Parkway news bul letin recently carried the story of an old black horse that had strayed from home and wandered near the park on the North Carolina side. The owner, with bridle in hand looked about in the dark and finally his eyes caught what he thought was the horse browsing near the parkway, but when he tried to bridle it, the animal reared up and growled it tinned ut t h u bear. If the public does not heed (lie warnings of the park officials, more than one person will be tempted to utter that Well known prayer i,f the treed hunter who prayed, "Oh, Lord, if you can't help me, for goodness .sake, don't you help that bear." Park Should Be Ready For Formal June Dedication Appraisers At Work On Tenn essee Tracts, None Remains In North Carolina Everything points to the formal dedication, and acceptance of the Park by the National Park service by next June, according to J. Ross Eakin, sup erintendent, who is now in Washing ton on business. Appraisers are at work making sur veys of the several tracts in Tenn essee that are to be acquired. No additional land is to be taken over in North Carolina, yet the highway with in the Park will have to be turned over to the Park Service before for mal opening of the Park will be held. There is no point in not turning over the highways to the Park," one official said," in fact, that is written in the original Park law, and it will have to be done sooner or later, so there is no reason for any member of the state highway commission trying to hold up the matter." Bond Issues Termed As Emergencies (Continued ' from page 1) definite branding of the two projects, as "urgent" came on the heels of much discussion this week, on the part of taxpayers of the two towns. (leneral sentiment, as reported by those who have been explaining the proposals, is definitely for the plans, as "there is no other satisfactory Course to take." "To vote the mutter down, would not end it, by any means," one person .saii. 'Yhe town officials, here yesterday, discussed the history of the case at length, pointing out that when the Lake was established that an agree ment was made to take the sewage out of Richland ("reek. The Lake, several years ago, brought civil action, and the case went to the supreme court, and the court upheld the Lake. The matter was not push ed, because at the time, it appeared that there was a possibility of the towns getting financial aid from the government. An application was made, and since 19:15 the application has been in Washington. Only recently, notice was given that approval had been made, and that $100,227 would be donated outright, -and $122,227 would bo loaned for thirty years, to the two towns, if the proposition was accepted by Novem ber 4th, which means that the con tract would have to be let by that date, and work actually started by Janu ary first. The formal statement of the Way nesville board appears elsewhere in this pajHT. 15 Dogs Killed Since Monday As Safety Measure (Continued from page 1) said that the inspectors in Haywood have trouble in making collections and naturally do not feel like bearing the expenses themselves. Several counties in the state have alarmed at the increasing number of dogs going mad and as a result are taking drastic steps to enforce the law. Harnett county is leading forth in the movement with a strict enforce ment of the rabies law. There We approximately :S,.r0l) dogs in Harnett county and to date most pi tnese dogs have been vaccinated. In the meantime several hundred owners of dogs have been indicted and in most cases convicted aim war rants are now being issued for others, As a result of this stringent adher ence to the law it is said that there has not been a case of rabies in Har nett -county for two years. Hard Session Of Legislature Is In Prospect, Said "The 1939 legislature is in for a hard session," is the opinion of Wade Lucas, associate editor of The Raleigh Times, and political writer. Mr. Lucas stopped here en route to Ral eigh, after spending the week-end in the park, and attending the Democrat ic rally at Murphy Saturday. The three main issues of the legis lature will be the east fighting to keep the local liquor option, and the west fighting to repeal the absentee ballot law with both factions holding their particular wants over the heads of the other in an effort to gain their point. From Mr. Lucas' viewpoint, it looks like the budget will be increased from three quarters of a million, in order to take care of Governor Hoey's pet 12th grade addition. The Governor has things well in hand, and it looks like he will go far, in getting his educational program through. The east wants the local option liquor bill retained, because most of the counties now have stores, while the west seems more interested in repeal of the absentee ballot law. If 'a, satisfactory compromise can be worked out, the legislature will work along in harmony, it was said. 7Ae tOecMte RepxvU H. M. HALL, Official Observer Aug. Max.
