Phone 196 pot St. Waynesville number of us infected and why we can't go off and enjoy our disease quietly no one knows, but it catches us like Bolshevism or religion; we want to rush out and shout. You and I have ridden together with pack trains through the high peak country of Wyoming and Colorado. It was beautiful, wasn't it? But, if there's a choice, may I have the Smoky Mountains of North Caro lina ? And you'd like to know why. Well, first off the Smol es are home. We from the east view the western mountains with pleasure but it's like Visiting. We admire them but they're not ours. The snow peaked Rocky masses impress us, but our timbered, rolling, blue mountains are also magnificent and more familiar. They're home. They belong to us. Yet, because I've said t"hey are familiar, please don't imagine the Smokies are a series of gentle little picnic groves like your back yard. That would be opposite the truth. The ranch is at the edge of the Smoky Moun tains National Park and when you take to the trail you are almost immediately inside the park, which is wilderness. On a three to five or seven day pack trip you find your self back of the beyond in the midst of such magnificence it makes your throat ache. It's the home of bears and wildcats. You ,see their tracks, but never the creatures themselves for they've dashed off to hide long before we come singing up the trail. But if you have a yen actually to see a bear, that's arranged by being there in the autumn when hunts axe organized outside the park. , Pack trips are always fun but those going out from Cataloochee are the best I've ever been on. That's partly due to the charms of ,Tom and Judy Alexander, one or the other of whom always goes with us. Another part is due to the perfectly swell horses provided and the grand food. But foremost in your mind when you climb aboard a cayuse in a pair of old blue jeans is the thrilling knowl edge that your sleeping bag is stowed away in the pack train along with food for a week and that you're going yonder to lose the memory of civilization and to live. To live. That's it. To live. After you've done it once or twice you realize you only exist to live on another pack trip. To wake out there after a night's sleep,, seeing the stars fade and the sun rise, to breakfast at the camp fire, to roll up your sleeping bag and step into, the saddle, riding off while the sun is firing the highest peaks, with the deep valleys in silent shadow, and white scud blowing, that is to live. To canter along the leveler stretches, to idle through tunnels of flowering rho dodendron in June, or, in October, to stop silent beside the unbeliev- The Boettigers in Honolulu 1 If J - I f. 4 1 1 ' I sH vil- J N aT?!" 3 v- I ' CONFUCIUS S A Y . . . ?

Publisher John Boettiger, of Seattle, and his wife, President Roosevelt's daughter, arrive in Honolulu on their first visit to the islands. They are draped with the flower leis symbolic of welcome. able gorgeousness of a bleak gum tree, its watermelon pink foliage massed against a clear blue sky and bluer mountains; that is happiness. But to ride the high ridge which separates North Carolina from Tennessee, seeing wave after wave of majestic blue mountains rush ing toward you from both sides is such a thrust of power and glory you must stand in your saddle and yell like a Cherokee. Sometimes we spend the night on Mt. LeConte and get up before the first light to watch the sun rise over the masses of mountains below us. After you have seen that you know how it looked on the fourth day when God gave the Run to a vast and deserted world.) It's a sight you will never forget.

The unbelievable part is that these mountains are not far from you . , . Just over night by train from New York or Washington. ...... I hope you write to Tom and Judy Alexander , and tell them you'll be' there when I am. I'd like to be on the spot to watch that country seep under your skin. I want to be with you the day you come down hard with Smoky Moun tainitis. I know how it will be. We'll be returning from a ride to Sheepback some afternoon at sun set. After leaving the woods and closing , the gate, we'll hold the horses to the end of the down grade before giving the signal and then we're off. Across meadows and up past the hay stacks. We make for the slope and up to the ridge. The mountains. Suddenly. Bulked masses of blue mountains in the sunset, The air is crisp. The horses pant from the run. liuath less you take a long breath. I know by the way you push back your bonnet that truth is staring you in the face. "I want to tell you something" you say. Then you say it. "Life doesn't owe me a thing." And I can see by your look that it's a settled conviction which will never leave you nor will you ever forget. We ride silent ly down the slope into the stable. The horses nudge our shoulders urging conversation ... and out of the crisp evening we step into the comfort of the fi relighted j lamplighted big room'. As our ' boots clump across the floor and begin to mount the stairs you're repeating with emphasis: "Gal, I life don't owe me nothin'" . . . .! "Sure enough?" . . .

Miss Smith Gives Plans For Kitchen Storage Place Since the homemaker spends a great deal of her time in the kitch en, it is of major importance that her kitchen storage arrangements and working facilities be arranged to give the greatest efficiency and convenience.

The kitchen arrange ment may include cabinets, or "reach-in" closets and pantries, or "walk-in" closets, she states. Where the kitchen is planned to minimize the amount of walking in the rou tine tasks, the cabinet is popular, particularly if the kitchen is used only in the preparation and ser vice of food. However, where the kitchen is used for many processes or where there is an unusually large amount of material to be stored a pantry is preferred, The approach of the canning sea son will present a serious storage problem in many farm homes, Bhe states.
