Gaining Recruits
The birth rate at the Hay
wood County hospital continues
to increase. Last month, Sep
tember, broke all previous rec
ords with a 24 increase in num
ber. There were 120 births as
against 96 in August. They
have been so crowded at times
that if the mother and baby
are doing well, they are asked
to' leave the hospital and go
home when the baby is 36
hours old.
On Monday morning they
had 22 mothers in the hospital,
when the capacity for taking
care of them is 13, according
to Mrs. Irene Rogers, superin
tendent. "We had eight babies and
their mothers rooming in the
hall instead of in rooms or
wards on Monday," continued
Mrs. Rogers.

Thursday
Star Route Bus
Switched From
Early Morning
Schedule To Mid-day
Noon mail from Waynesville to
the East was resumed Thursday
after an 11-day loss of this service
was brought about by the change
in train schedules. The star route
bus between Asheville and Bryson
City began operating on new hours
yesterday that allows it to pick up
mail from the local post office about
12:00 noon for delivery to Ashe
ville. The change was announced by
Postmaster J. Hardin Howell, who
states that dispatches for eastbound
mail will close at 11:30 a. m.
Formerly the star route had
taken mail from Waynesville at
8:30 a. m. When the eastbound
train changed from going through
here at 11 o'clock to 9:15, it made
two early mails and none later in
the day going East.
Now the star route bus leaves
Bryson City at 9:30 a. m. bound
for Asheville. It's return trip also
is changed which will bring a late
afternoon mail here from the East.

Visited
Last Year
The Park has done it again
for the second time in its history,
over a million persons have been
attracted to the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park in a
single year.
During the period of October 1,
1945, to September 30, 1946, 1,147,
377 persons were estimated to have
visited the Park to see the superb
scenery and wealth of wildlife.
In 1941, the last year before the
war, 1,247,019 persons visited this
park; thereafter travel fell off
sharply when all attention was cen
tered on winning the war then
the problem of those responsible
for the preservation of the park
area was to keep it so that when
peacetime conditions returned the
area would be unimpaired for the
enjoyment of this and future gen
erations. In those years many
members of the armed forces found
rest and solace in the area, as did
also those citizens who wore able
to find transportation to the area.
With the return to more peaceful
times travel began to increase
sharply, and in the 12-month pe
riod just ended at least 1.147,377
persons, in 360,804 vehicles, visited
the park. The visitors are known
to have come from every slate in
the Union, Canada, and a few for
eign countries.
Since July, 1942, travel to this
park has been estimated, the esti
mate bring made on a scientific
basis from actual counts of travel

15-Months-Old
Child Undergoes
Operation Here
Little David Plott Owen, 15-months-old
son of Doctors
Robert and Margaret Owen of
Canton, was operated on for
acute appendicitis at the Hay
wood County hospital on Sep
tember 27th, and was allowed
to go home the same day. His
father performed the opera
tion, and Dr. Tom Stiingfield
gave ether.
Baby Owen is the youngest
person ever to have been op
crated on at the local hospital
for acute appendicitis. His
parents are well pleased with
its success, for it is believed
that with a few hours delay
the little fellow would not
have had a chance to survive.
Since 50 per cent of all cases
of appendicitis occur between
the ages of five and 25, this
is considered a very unusual
case. It is relatively infre
quent for a person to be
stricken before the age of five
and after 40, however no age is
exempt.
