SEPTEMBER 21, 1950 AROUND THE DISTRICT By George. Vitas, U. S. Forest Ranger We are wondering what those deer in the iVit. Mitch ell Game Management Area, who normally lead a placid life, think of the dozens of cars that have been whizzing along the Neals Creek and South Toe River roads. Since the big cave-in on the Parkway, most of the Parkway traf fic has been routed around at Buck Creek Gap by Bus ick, up the South Toe River, then Neals Creek and back to the Parkway. The detour cuts right through the heart of the Ms. Mitchell Game Management Area.! Because of this detour, many North Carolina and out-of-state motorists have' been, seeing the Mt. Mitch ell Game Management for the first time. It looks like those national forest deer will simply have to get used to the cars because it will! probably be a couple of months or more before the I Blue Ridge Parkway can be THESE FAMOUS SINGERS SMOKE CAMELS BECAUSE... vMmy&oatr MARIO LANZA HOLLYWOOD STAR f\i NADINE CONNER : v ; A| metropolitan opera soprano j£i jtl FRAN WARREN SINGING STAR OF RADIO AND RECORDS ■ r DANCE EVERY FRIDAY" NIGHT ROUND and SQUARE DANCES EVERYBODY HAS FUN CATTAIL “ Y/fl I I /I I L (PENSACOLA) »***********-*»****»*»****4-4-»*****»*-»-*>»»*»*»»*»»» I * ★ * J Box 283 Phone 54 J * * * * ★ * CARPENTER - BRASWELL $ i * DRILLING COMPANY .% * * ★ * ★ Water Well-Drilling Contractors * * * * NEWLAND, N.

Wilson, Mt. Mit chell State Park Warden' and his two helpers had a mighty busy time this past summer. The number of visitors to the park was ; more than double that of last year. The concession! stand that Mr. Wilson op -1 erates for the state also! 1 doubled its volume of busi-. i ness. Once the Asheville ; link of the Parkway was| , opened, three successive: week-ends brought a de luge, totalling 35,000 visit ors to the State Park. When you consider that one of Mr. Wilson’s men was busy running the con cession stand; you can ima gine the tremendous job that he and his other man had trying to keep the park facilities presentable, pro vide parking space and keep 30,000 people happy. j We have just talked to Mr.| Wilson and in spite of the many problems and handi caps that, he has had to | wrestle with this summer, he is still as genial as ever. A report of the U. S. . ■Forest Service Experiment Station in Asheville tells! lus that North Carolina! pulp and paper mills used; £02,089 cords of pulpwood in 1949. Now-that figure' may not sound very im pressive. But if you were to : start at the intersection of! 'Main and Court Streets in Marion and made a' pile of !wood four feet high and four feet wide and then | just kept on piling wood — making a continuous pile from Marion all the way to Richmond, Va., on the Washington, D. C., to New York City, to Boston, Mas sachusetts, Bar Harbor, Maine and on to the Cana dian border—you’d end up with a continuous pile of pulpwood, 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 1,215 miles long. And that, according to our calculations, is how much 802,089 cords of pulp wood would be Those sticks of wood represent a lot of trees, a lot of paper and jobs and wages for thous- C3a-. jfgPlr-j I HjT Yes, right now, over 250,000 families are two-Ford pH |H PB HI families —many thousands of them owners of two big 1950 Fords.

Incidentally, Graham and Son, contractors who are building the paved highway from Carvers Gap, on the Roan, to Bakersville, are rushing to beat old man weather. Starting at the | top, they have already cut out several miles of right of-way and are in the pro cess of installing culverts and grading the road bed.
