THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER
Rambling Around
'-.' By W. CURTIS EUSS
Bits of this, that and the other
picked up here, there and yonder.
Mrs. R. H. Black well is concern
ed about the neglect of the Mem
morial Trees on the highway be
tween here and Lake Junaluska.
The trees were planted by the
Woman's Club at a great expense
in memory of Haywood men who
gave their lives in the first World
War.
Lack of care, and appreciation of
the purpose for which the trees
were planted, have brought much
grief to those who sponsored and
carried out the project.
The idea of having a lane of trees
along the highway approach to
Waynesville was a thoughtful and
worthwhile idea, and still is, pro
vided proper care is given the trees.
Few things add to the beauty of
a community more than trees.
And unfortunately, that is one
things that is growing rare in
this community . . . more trees are
being cut down than are being
is a time and worthwhile
project for some energetic civic
group. ....
The law of our fair town pro
hibits one from following a fire
truck to the scene of a fire.
And as a strong advocate of and
enforcement of that ' and other
laws, I must go on record that I
have not followed a truck but

once.
The other night as I came out
of the post office, the fire alarm
sounded. I remained at the curb
until the truck and all cars with
firemen had passed, then I started
home, taking: the 'usual route by
the Methodist church, down Boyd
Avenue and out Brown beyond
the high school. Bless Patty, if
the truck did not go that same
route.
At every corner I had hopes that
the truck would turn off and not
go any further towards my home
yet it went as straight as it
could. .
My heart beats became more
rapid the pit of my stomach be
gan to twitch, and imaginary scenes
flew thick and fast before my eyes
which were on the speeding truck.
, In front was Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Killian living hours every minute.
As the truck turned out Brown Av
enue, instead of going down the
street to their home or laundry, I
thought I saw both heave a sigh
of relief, while I suffered all the
more, as the red fire fighting ap
paratus sped on towards my home.
Being two good blocks behind
the truck, I saw it go one past
the comer and turn towards Erk-
raft and then the nervous relapse
of suspense. I followed no further,
but parked, and how I ever walked
on two, such wabbly knees, still
remains a mystery . . . but I made
it to the front lawn where I could
see the truck returning from a fire
of very small damage.'
If an officer had arrested me for
following that truck, he would
have bad to carry me . .. . I was
beyond standing on my own.
Such an experience is worse than
one can describe for verification,
ask Mr. and Mrs. Jim Killian.

It was that same fire that caus
ed Marion Bridges, in charge of
the mechanical department of The
Mountaineer, to lose several pounds.
That afternoon he had had some
sterotyping done, which always
calls for a hot fire in the furnace
of the sterotyping room. After
the men had left he carefully check
ed every thing in the shop, which
is his custom, and then went home.
His telephone rang about 30
seconds after the fire alarm sound
ed. He was so nervous he could
hardly answer the phone to find
it was a social call . . . but never
theless he has thinner hair be
cause of the fright.

STORY OF THE JUNALUSKA
.-, "" : CROSS
The story of the Cross at Lake
Junaluska is one of which the
visitor here never tires. High up
on Missionary Point it stands and
broadcasts its silent message to
all who come within its circle.
It tells a story of generosity and
noble purpose on the part of those
who placed it there. It challenges
youth to high endeavor; bids middle
age to hold fast to those ideals
which are necessary for living with
honor and integrity; it bids old
age. to be of good courage. To
every Christian, young or old, it
is a reminder of the supreme sac
rifice of the Lord of all and em
phasizes the place of the Cross
in Christian living. The cross
at Lake Junaluska was a gift to
the Methodist Assembly in 1922
from the federated Wesley Bible
classes of Western North Carolina.
It stands on a high point overlook
ing the lake. It is fixed on a base
of native stone rising about five
feet in blunt pyramidal shape.
The cross itself is 25 feet in
height. The outlines on face and
back being brought out by thickly
lined sets of electric lights; 200
bulbs being required for its illu
mination. Its reflection in the wa
ters of Lake Junaluska is visible
from practically every hotel and
home on the grounds. When the
cross was installed it was the
thought of the management that it
would be illuminated only during
the summer season. But when
the season closed and a week had
gone by with the cross unlighted,
there came a petition from the
engineers and brakemen on the
Southern railroad asking that the
cross be lighted. They had grown
accustomed to watch for the light
ed cross as the trains crept around
the mountain curve. It reminded
them they said, of loyalty to trust
and fidelity to duty. It gave them
a silent message of love of homo
and country and the sacrificial
nature of their work.
So every night, summer and
winter, the lighted cross shines
upon the mountain sides and lights
the lake and valley. It is an ob
ject of reverent admiration to
thousands of visitors and a Meth
odist shrine of unusual beauty and
interest. ,
The Junaluska Cross.
A landmark by day.
A beacon by night.

Editor's note This is the first
f a series of articles dealing with
the highway laws of North Caro
lina. We are publishing these in
the interest of highway safety.
These articles were prepared by
the safety division of the State
Highway department.
A majority of the drivers involv
ed in accidents have had several
year's driving experience.
Ten per cent of the drivers in
fatal accidents in North Carolina
last year had been drinking.
Nearly 4,000 persons were "killed
while "jaywalking" in this coun
try last yean
Sec. 94, Motor Vehicle Laws of
North Carolina :"The head lamps
of motor vehicles shall be so con
structed, arranged and adjusted
that . V . they will at all times ; . .
and under normal atmospheric con
ditions and on a level road produce
driving light sufficient to render
clearly discemable a person two
hundred feet ahead, but any person
operating a motor vehicle upon the
highways when meeting another
Vehicle, shall so control the lights
of the vehicle operated by him by
shifting, depressing, deflecting, tilt
ing : or dimming the head light
beams in such manner as shall not
project a glaring or dazzling light
to persons in front of such head
lamp."
In other words, dim your head
lights when meeting another car on
the highways at night. The law
requires it, courtesy suggests it,
safety demands it.
