As the L;ioup leaves Wednesday morning, they will go jnto the heart of Pisgah with its 473.840 acres, tlv.it includes parts of twelve Western Carolina counties. On Thursday the party will leave from Franklin, visiting Nantahala with its 378.762 acres in six coun ties. The two forests are attracting an ever increasing number of visitors, as the outside world learns more of their recreational fa cilities, as well as the many natural scenic attractions. Last year the official count of visitors to the two forests was 1.869.115. which is above that of the Great Smokies. During" the years the Forest Service has been striving to build up recreational facili ties thai tle public desires, and thev have ' done a good job on the funds available. One put pose of this tour is for the representatives ot the public and the Forest Service to see mutual potentialities, and also see mutual problems, and then work together on a pro i iain for the good of all concerned. Due to the fact that the two National Forests touches more counties, is in the very heart of Western North Carolina, and has innumerable approaches by good highwavs, makes the forests one of the area's chief as- j sets as far as attractinu visitors to this part of the state. In fact, the Forests have many advantages over the Smokies in this respect. The forests extend from Cherokee to Wa tauga. The two-day tour this week will be looked upon with keen interest bv all Western North Carolina, because any development in the World s Fair.

Check Our Arithmetic On the front page today, there appears an article about the rapid increase of record books in the office of the Register of Deeds of Haywood county. In the first 100 years after this county was founded. 62 books were filled with deeds and deeds of trust. During the next 40 years 188 similar books were filled with the same type of records. According to our arithme tic editor, he figures that during the first 100 years an average of .6 of a book was filled per ye?ir. while during the past 40 years the average has been 4.7 books per year, an in crease of 400 per cent.

The Center of Activities Waynesville is becoming more and more the center of activities of Western North Carolina. Being right in the heart of the western part of the state, it is onlv natural that manv district meetings and events be i staged here. Last week some 250 farmers came here to bear about hybrid corn, and see crops. ' Tonight the Safety Council of the district meets here: on October 9th. the farmers of 22 counties will come here to hear Charles. F. Drannan. secretary of agriculture. Last week the Masons of all the state met. and ' on and on goes the list. It is well that we recognize the strategic j position we hold in the district, and go after j even more of the meetings and group gather- j ings of Western North Carolina.

MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting: Psychologist strip their civilian fellow-stu-denu from that time on, with the married men in turn outrating the unmarried. One writer main tains, however, that the differ ence is due to age, not war ex perience, and that among older students "there is very little dif ference between veterans and non-veterans as such." ; tffctintttlVflWTWl.
