"li Ii3 Cliff s"A Future Llogoificeat Park For Eastcra Noriii Carolina By Dr. B. W. Weill Profewor of Botany t State : College - '" . . : ' .'' .-' (From Goldsbora Newa-Argus) . When memory goes back to the pre-war days, when gasoline was pumped out of service station wells much like water, I recall the many parks I visited in the north ern and western states parks which often would be advertised by gorgeous road signs, but which, when one reached them, would be uttie more than a roadside wood land with a stream thrown in or it might be a local jumble of rocks which was the center of interest.

In North Carolina, the piedmont and upper coastal plain are great agricultural regions, regions wmcn with their - growing cities and towns, need to be setting aside now the beauty spots which In the years to come will be the recre ational areas. Fortunately scatter ed her and there in the central part of the state are many . lo calities of such scenic and natural history interest, that they far sur pass most of the wayside parks of our northern neighbors. On such area is that of "The Cliffs" on the Neuse, just 15 miles southeast of Golds boro. Here the river in a sweeping bend plays against a cliff some 90 feet hign exposing rock, the origin of which the geologists tell us goes back many millions of years. But more about this later. From the ton of this unusually elevated river bank, one may look to the skyline over the forest thickly covering the broad flood plain below. This makes the view to the southeast similiar to a sea scape with a great expanse of sky seen over waves of verdue rather than water. Directly below is the curving river, its shores broken by sandy beaches where the eddies in flood time have dropped the heav ier sand, the finer silt going on down stream. The river here even at low water can carry a light motor boat so that an excellent basis is present for the develop ment of the whole range of ac- qua tic recreational activities. Mountain Streams Just as valuable as the high cliff with its scenic interest are the nearby "mountain streams'', which at a lower level emerge suddenly from the rock strata as extraordinarily bold springs. For some distance they flow vigorous ly with all the murmuring whis pers of a true mountain brook. No where else could one find more limpid waters. And on the warm est day in summer one is amazed at the cold temperature of the water. To lie in the deep shade of the beeches and black oaks by one of these gossiping little streams is, witnout the &ia of the imagination, to be transported at no expense whatever to an Appalachian moun tain nook, the kind of place every one areams or as a temporary escape from the hurly-burly of ordinary living. This nart of "The Cliffs" for interest and certainly for seclusion and rest, is just as Intriguing and satisfying as the high bank itself. Convenient trails leaa to ail parts of these thickly trwueu wwianus, THE HITLER GANG' TELLS REAL INSIDE STORY ABOUT NAZIS The real "inside" on Hitler and his mad mob will be revealed on the screen of the Wanoa Theatre in Paramount's "The Hitler -ang " next Thursday and Fririsv The picture will stun the audience which, U the premise was reason able, might feel sure that Hitler himself and the other Nazi hench men were hired by Paramount to appear in the film. The reason is the almost exact resemblance of the acton to the real articles. Robert Watson, in1 the role' of Hitler, portrays the Fuehrer to perfection. Martin Kosleck handles the Goebbels role as if born into it while Victor Var- coni, Luis Van Rooten and Alex ander Pope as Hess, Himmler and Cioeding, respectively, add a high ly realistic touch to the proceed ings, -v . . :;'-..i'f " '. The story has the most drama tic nlot in the history ; of man kind Hitler's rise to power. More than telling the obvious story known to most, the picture deals with the inside developments hid den these long years under a veil of secrecy. The picture tells of Hitler's short-lived love life with a. viIami uViv noM thss tnnromo ivnaltir after refiisin-r his advan - nam Tr orbOsi nn in Anrrihn the ut mutlnin thmntrh whirh ui.. ... oKi tn nnnnbt tn mint hnitai Mvicvi th storm troopers and Gestapo.

He uses the Prussian mili tarists, peasants, industrialists and weakiinKS to attain nis goai. de fying religion, the institution or marriage and other civilized con ventions. Hitler brings death and bloodshed into a peacervu worxu. . The film plays upon every emo tion in the human makeup, thrill ing the audience from its Initial enlande to the dramatic climax. As explained In the film, the story told in "The Hitler Gang" is not t mnnluripd but ' the United Nations is doing the Job which will see the last of these world gangsters brought to Justice, Motorists Warned To 5 Kcrp Vehicles In CccJ CcnCl'n operators oi o n"" . . i -."-- -- -- - hides were warned by the Wll- quests for new parts which hav rnln-.m ODT yf tcrd.iy t'.at the l-n b.-oken or obyioi!;!y hw fpr-.-.u-r in v.1 !i h 1':''y ,:: an 1 r-v f- anotJier !

Nature k.. mnnairMl ta m-eserve here frm extinction, the mountain laurel and galax, which for this region about reach their eastern limit. A thorough botanical sur will undoubtedly disclose many other mountain , species holding on here. ; One of the best features pf the hardwood area of 'The Cliff s" is related to the fact that fire has done little or no damage to the forest there. In the moist lowlands sections, there is no Instance of recant fires.. The protection of the river on one side and the culti vated fields on the high or cliff side account for this. Now that so much interest has developed In the area, every effort should be made to keep fir from ruining what is now a rich and scenic woodland. Stimulate The Mind Not the least of the values out there at "The CUffs" Is the oppor tunity it affords for stimulating the mind. People enjoy expanding their brains witness the qui pro crams. WelL ko out to "The CUffs" go down to uie river ievei mu u your neck has a bit of rubber in it still, look up at the cliff face. As plain as a piece of angel food oaIc laid carefully on a chocolate . . .. . . i j , cake base, you can see the Sunder land terrace sand lying on top of the Black Creek formation of dark sands and clays. Now the ""Angelfood" terrace sand is but a thin layer of 12 feet in thickness while the "chocolate" Black Creek material constitutes all the rest down to the river and below for some feet You will note that near the river level the sandy material has been cemented to a sandstone, a fortunate circumstance, for otherwise the undercutting here would go on more rapidly and the park would literally fall Into the river in a few decades. , It woud take another article to give the full story of the strata exposed In this one cliff. But we can make it clear that at one time the top of this Black Creek formation was the top of the earth for a long, very long, time until finally the ocean came back from the east and spread those 13 feet of sand over it ana later, oi course, retreated to its present stage. Manta Mlnrla t Another science interest here is the mingling of mountain and coastal plants. Of course, In con tinental distribution, species min gle more or less everywnere,. oui the combination is especially in teresting at "The Cliffs" because of the wide local variety of soil nt shade conditions found there. Cypress lives an immediate neigh bor to the beech. Spanish moss hangs on the whit- oak trees. Myrtle bushes (coastal) lock arms with the mountain laurel, t and eastern wire grass looks down . on trailing arbutus. - . .

In the piedmont and upper coastal plain I know of no spot that can surpass it in aesthetic and scientific interest It has about every qualification for a superior local pane, one uiai would make dozens of the northern recreation areas look very insigni ficant indeed. All It needs is in telligent development ana super vision and thousands will come here for rest recreation, and in spiration where now only dozens ever see the sky over the forest and hear the clear waters oi tne "mountain brooks" tell their story of the endless cycles of the rocks and rain. , ; Ralph Jones Urges Car Buyers Fill Out Certificates Right; Used automobile purchasers were reminded today by Ralph J.
