Trail in Aj By Bill Sharpe The handicraft trail of the Southern Appalachians this year will draw more thousands of visitors than | ever before, judging from 5 reports from such centers Jas Penland, Brasstown k Asheville. They will come usually as tourists, for the handwork of the mountain people has become almost as much of a “tourister at. ‘ traction” as the mountains themselves, but many oth ers will come as students of the art, and as treasure j seekers. t Within 100 miles of Ashe ville, it is estimated that over 0,000 persons make all or a substantial part of their living by fashioning things with their hands— -3 everything from hooked . rugs to expensive silver -3 ware. And the old arts not l only are not dying out, as was feared some years ago, 3 but are increasing mightily. One of the highlights of the trail is Penland School, ? where hundreds of outland ' ers each year come U> learn some 50 crafts—from gem cutting to spinning. School is held the year around, and in the summer the place is crowded with people from all over the world who come Ito learn or to brush up on ; craftsmanship. Past many an humble cottage industry the trail goes, such as that of Joe Ducket, of Watauga county, I who carves ox-drawn cov ered wagons from wood, or the cabin of Grandma Don- Plans Outlined for Summer Chorus Much interest is being shown in plans for the | Summer Chorus which will froster. The new Ford’s function alism has been extended to the roomy seats—s7 inches; wide in front and 60 inches Ttt Lilt* rear, plenty 01 1 oom for six persons. New windows demonstr ate the new trend. The rear window alone is 88 per cent! (larger—as large as the or-! dinary windshield. The windshield is deeper and| wider. They give a picture j window effect to the entire car and greatly improve all around visibility. Protect our Natural re sources. Prevent Forest Fires.
