iky young

warriors in those days just as they
do today and the chiefs knew that
idle time, petty arguments and dis
agreements could lead to savage
brawls and feuds.
Grudges Paired Off,
So rather than have the young
bucks lie in ambush for their en
emies and crease their scalp locks
with a stone axe, the chiefs in
vented stickball. Each full inobn,
the chief rounded up his Quarrel
some warriors, paired them off ac
cording to individual grudges and
set the whole crowd to playing
stickball.
The ball is an oversized walnut.
Each player carries a small rac
quet. The only rule is that the
ball cannot be picked up from the
ground with anything but the rac
quet. Once the player has his
hands on the ball he can get it
through the enemy goalposts any
way he chooses. He can throw, run,
crawl, fight, slug and anything else
that helps. Usually he puts the ball
in his mouth to keep both hands
free and lights out for the goal.
Since each player has an oppo
nent and that opponent is chosen
for his enmity, the game soon
turns into a series of two-way
brawls all over the field with very
little attention being paid to the
ball.
Referees Mum
That is perfectly all right with
the three referees who generally
have grudges too and pay little at
tention to their supposed job of
keeping order with their long
switches.

now. The Cherokees, who stayed

ball just at the spring council and
at their October fair.
That means that pent up grudges
are saved up six times as long, and
afternoons during councils or fairs
are times lor mayhem on the stick
ball iield.
Hard on Hose
Thirty pairs of hose are worn out
per year by the average business
woman.
Necessary Link On The Parkway
Not all the Blue Kidge Parkway follows the mountain tops. There are several tunnels along the route
which add a little unexpected variety to the traveler. This particular tunnel is at Wolf Laurel on
the Parkway leading off "Soco Gap. The highway is closed at this particular spot, however. There
are three tunnels In the vicinity of Wayncsville. (Mountaineer Photo'.
Great Variety
Of Plants Found
In National Park
Few, if any, areas in the easiern
United States possess so great a
variety of plants as does the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park.
Altogether, the tree, shrub, and
herb varieties total more thanI
1.300.
Botanists have also listed over
1,700 species of fungi, 330 mosses
and liverworts, and 230 lichens.
The earliest flowers occasionally
j appear by the close of February J
'ill lowland areas, while the witch-1

April funis the spring flowers, in

tor the mountain laurel: middle
June usually finds both the Hame
a/.alea and rose-purple rhododen

rhododendron's blooming peak is
reached usually in middle July.
The height of the autuin coloration
comes near the end of October.
Mayonnaise Hint
Piquante Mayonnaise, excallc.'t
for salads, can be made by adding
c^ip chopped sour pickles and two
tablespoons of chopped oniona to
regular mayonnaise.
