He was a brave man, and in his passing the community and county have lost a fine citizen and a fearless officer. Deputy Towe had long ! served in his official capa city, and it was in line of j duty that he fell. By his day to day living, and by j his unflinching courage in, the face of danger he won! the admiration of us all. We regret his untimely! passing; we commend the loyal performance of his every duty. *.j r /• * • THE RHODODENDRON "PS* 6 V- • - - • ■■i-.-K...... • High upon the mountain, where the eagle builds its nest, '; ': _ - _ ; There’s a lovely wild flower blooming, high upon the mountain crest. .

C. Gentlemen: I was one of the fortu nate 35,000 visitors to at tend the launching of the USS North Carolina last Thursday at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I could not realize the fact that there is such a close surveillance of everyone until I tried to get into the Naval Re servation without a pass, and due to the fact that the FBI and other investi gating agencies had ordi narily to pass upon appli cations and passes three or four days before .hand, I, even though employed in the War Department, difficult to be pre sent at the launching of this great master of the waves. I did, however, successfully obtain.my pass and was present for this never-to-be-forgotten oc casion at which I wish even.’ citizen of Yancey County could have beeni present. Literally thous ands were turned away from the gates and when I entered the gate in a taxi * after presenting my pass es, I was accompanied by an escort, until the ta*i was stopped hy a Naval Police and requested to leave the reservation. I then proceeded without es cort. I wTite this just to show that the officers and men in the sendee of this government are really at work on sabatours and those who would not be true to the’ Stars and Stripes. Yours Very Truly, L.

It is the ro mance of reality rather than of the bov-girl vari ety which makes “The Story of Dr. Ehrlich’s Ma gic Bullet” spell-bSnding entertainment.

This is the outstanding event of the season and it has gone far in advertising this section to the outside world.

The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird - This is a member of one of our most notable fami lies of birds of which there ( are more than six hundred varieties, all native to the New r World. The male has a ruby throat hut the female does not. This variety—the only species found east of the Mississippi River in North ' America —is found in the summer from Nova Scotia to central Florida. In win ter it ranges from central Florida to Panama. The Hummingbird feeds both on the nectar of flow 7 - ers and on plant aphids or lice*. .In summer it is a familiar sight around the garden and wild flow r ers of kinds. The flow’- er of the trumpet vine is a favorite with it on account of the abundance of honey and inserts that it tains* , -v It builds a very Compact, beautiful artistic but in conspicuous nest usually on the top side of the limb of a tree and it almost invari ably lays two white eggs.

To him the slopes of Mt. Mitchell were home, and he knew the hills and loved them as few men do. He was famed as a hunter artd guide and his skill in bear hunting gained him nation wide publicity. This sportsman’s skill, how T ever, was only part of the man, as his many fri- ~ ends well knew. His gen uine hospitality, his unfail ing sense of humor that chararterized all his story telling—in which he was unexcelled, —his friendli ness and kindness and sin cere interest in the affairs and people of his communi ty, endeared him to many. It is with regret that these friends learned of Uncle Dolph’s passing. They admired the great hunter and guide; they loved the man. He was one of the outstanding citizens of our county. The artificial spread of a disease deadly 7 to the Japanese beetle is being conducted Now Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Maryland in an effort to control the pest.
