Friday. From the number of apple trees in bloom in the orchards located on the hillsides of the picturesque Pigeon Gap, one might be fooled into thinking it "was apple blossom time." The "ethereal beauty and del icacy of the bloom "which is so much heralded as a good omen in the spring, is viewed with regret by the practical eye of the orchardist. These late "fall" blossoms have sim ply mistaken the season, and as disobendient children of nature, will fail to fulfill their responsibility of someday be coming apples. For the tree that blooms now will be barren in the fruiting season. Winners In Farm Practice Contest To Leave Today J. C.

(Staff Photo.) Parkway At Wagon Road Gap Making Available Many Scenic Wonders TOMORROW IS By Hilda Way Gwyn. Another Friday the 13th rolls around tomorrow. It is said that wise men admit they are super stitious, but fools pretend they are not. So in that case it wouia sound better to admit right at once that you are a bit superstitious, Whether we are or not it is al ways interesting to see how many persons are conscious of a Friday the 13th, and how at the close of the day there is always some mem ber of the family to either lay the blame of some mishap on the day and date, or will give a sigh of re lief if the day passes without any undue bad luck. So we advise that you get out your rabbit's feet and shine up your buckeye and keep both handy in case ill fortune might take it in her head to pursue you on tomor row. . Of course there are a number of people whose birthdays fall on the fatal day of a Friday the 13th, and they are loud in their praise of the combination, as they naturally feel, for them, it is a lucky omen, Route Follows Crest Of Moun tain Through Virgin Woods Of Pisgah Forest (By W. Curtis Ru.) On the crest of the mountain which divides Hay woed and Tran sylvania Counties, some 150 men are working the heaviest road ma chinery ever brought Into the mountain country, and have stead ily pushed back 6.2 miles into vir gin territory, making available scenic wonders that are breath taking, and never before enjoyed by but few men. Huge rocks, weighing many tons, are pushed around like a child pushes a toy, when mammoth en gines start snorting, and the hungry shovels begin to eat their way into the side of the mountain. The giant shovels spit out a yard and a half of dirt and rock at a time, into special trucks that dart like ants over a newly built hill. The trucks carry 10 to 15 tons at a time, venturing too close to the edges for the comfort of laymen. In spite of the rapidity of the work, which has gone forward fas ter than expectations, since actual Construction started in March, one is impressed with the strict pro gram of conservation in force. The trees and shrubbery in that wide expanse of nothing but trees, rocks and sceneryi are protected as if they were plate, .glass. Log Jonathan Woody, who last week completed the purchase of the con trolling stock in the First National Bank, has returned to Atlanta to his work as an examiner With the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpor ation, which is an agency of the Federal Government, that injures bank deposits up to a maximum of $5,000. ' : . ' : : While Mr. Woody stated that he expected to return to Wynes- ville at some future time to reside and become actively identified with the First National Bank, he gave out no definite information as to the date. In the meantime the present of ficers will continue to operate the bank on the same policy of previous years. J. R. Boyd, president, who sold only a part of his stock to Mr. Woody, will remain as presi dent; J. H. Way, Jr., as cashier, and Jim Noland as assistant cash ier, and the other employes " in cluding Mrs. Johnny Ferguson, Ulenn Culbertson and J. J. Atkins, will continue in their current ca pacities. The present board of directors consisting of J. R. Boyd, chairman, J. H. Way, Jr., L. N. Davis, J. Wilford Ray, Jim Noland, and D. Reeves Noland will continue to function, Community Ready For 4-Day Fall Festival Addresses Clubs SHERWOOD BROCKWELL, State Fire Marshall, brought a timely message last night to the Boosters, Lions and Rotary Clubs on Fire Prevention. Fire Marshall Urges Immediate City Planning Company "H" Adds New Men Only one or two openings are available in Company "H" of the 120th Infantry, the local unit of the National Guard. The officers were recently in structed to enlist fifteen more men to bring the company's enrollment up to 78. Last Wednesday mght eight new men were enlisted. "The greatest enemy to this com munity is not bombing planes, nor invading armies, but fire. And in my opinion, America's public ene my number one is the man who carelessly does those things which start fires," was the opinion of Sherwood Brockwell, State Fire Marshal, here last night before a joint meeting of the Lions, Boos ters and Rotary Clubs. As the speaker, with over 40 years of actual fire fighting expe rience related incident after inci dent, he urged that this community start a city planning movement, which would be a precautionary measure against spreading fires. The speaker, who just this week, was made a life member of the Boston Fire Department, was warm in his praise of the local fire de partment, but called attention t the fact that most citizens depend ed upon the fire department to do it all, without carrying on their part by cleaning up and moving materials about home and business that easily caught on fire. "this community is destined to grow. It is growing, and I urge you to Btart City plunning now. Don't wait." Mr. Brockwell, the oldest state fire marshal in America in point of Service, was introduced by Chas. E. Ray, Jr. R. L. Prevost, president of the Boosters Club, was master of cere monies, i Clyde Hildebrand, of Canton, and President of the North Caro lina Fireman's Association, and Mr. Bailey, assistant chief of Ashe ville, attended the meeting and volunteered their department's er vices to this community.

C. Dear Boys: I have watched with interest your fat calf projects, and while you did not take first places at the annual show in Asheville last week, you did win a victory, in that you proved that Haywood County needs to build up the beef cattle stock. The stock you carried to Ashe ville was fat It was good stock, and some of the best to come from the county in years, but in com parison with that of other places, your animals just did not have the breeding background. This should be an encouraging factor to you and your associates for the fu ture.: , While I would have rejoiced at your winning first place in every division, I feel that by. not winning, you and others will come back and (Continued on page 2) Among the prizes that will be awarded on Monday evening, in cludes, besides a big handful of dollar- bills, these items donated by local stores: Belk-Hudson Co., $4.95 dress.
