No Billboards, Trucks
? On BUie Ridge Pkw'y
One of the few things about the
Blue Ridge Parkway that does not
' change is the fence?weathered
chestnut rail fence. Also constant
are the mountaineer cabins, of
which a few remain. One in partic
ular is set in its own little park
and easily seen from the highway.
This is the Brinegar Cabin near
Doughton Park.
Another thing about the Park
? way that does not change is the
absence of billboards and trucks.
No commercial traffic or advertis
- ing is permitted along its entire
i length, which makes for startling
contrast with ordinary highways.

Changing Foliage
Replaces Flowers
As Color Highlight
As the last flowers of late sum
mer and early autumn come Into
bloom along the roadside of West
ern North Carolina, the first
splashes of fall foliage put in their
appearance on the heights.
Flowers noted on the roadways
are white, blue and lavender as
ters. Jellow and purple ironweed
and the several varieties of golden
rod.
At the same time an occasional
tree, or even an enterprising leaf,
puts out the first finger of rust or
gold. Dogwoods are already begin
ning 'to show 'dark red at the tips
of the leaves. Black gum is another
deep red to watch for?and if the
black gum is holiow, you may have
found a "bee tree".
Another tree that turns early In
the season is sourwood?also a
dark red. Maples are familiar to
nearly everyone, and as often as
not. the "overnight" switch from
green to red-gold is as sure a sign
of autumn as the first robin is of
spring.
Cool weather without heavy
frosts brings out the best color dis
play. ?s the thermometer slips low
er, the trees cease to manufacture
chlorophyll. Their green fades, re
vealing yellows previously masked.
Starches or sugars in trees such as
maple, dogwood and gum. set to
work and almost literally "paint
the tree red".

provement of the Tennessee-North
Carolina park during the 12-month
period.
