PAGE FOUR Around The Mt. Mitchell Forest Service District By George Vitas, U. S. Forest Ranger If you were to aik us to! name the most isolated place on the District, we would Immediately say, “Lost Cove, N. C.!” Here, on the turbulent Nolich ucky River, near the Tenn essee line, in Yancey Coun ty, dwell some 35 people. 1 They are completely sur rounded by the Pisgah 1 National Forest except for! about 300 acres of privat ely owned land on which they dwell. On the East, West and South they are locked in by formidable mountains; and on the North by the Nolichucky Gorge. There is no auto or truck road into Lost Cove, no telephone line, no elec tricity, The 7 only way to get in or out is by walking over miles of rough moun tain country or by riding the Clinchfield railroad which runs one train up the river and one down every day. There is no doc tor at Lost Cove. When folks get sick they just have to do the best they can with old-fashioned re medies. When we were there a few days ago, a good many of the young and grownups had colds. For a living, the people of Lost Cove do a little forming and cut the chest nut sawlogs and acidwood —i—■—— - NEW MASTITIS TREATMENT < ' For udder infusions, to treat cases of acute mastitis, we rec ommend Dr. Hess MASTITIS OINTMENT ( Penicillin-Dihy drostreptomycin Ointment Veterinary). This new Dr. Hess product contains both penicillin and streptomycin, which gives it a wider range of effectiveness than penicillin alone. Some mastitis organisms are not killed by penicillin. Each tube contains 150,000 units of penicillin and 100 milli grams of streptomycin. This higher potency formula prevents development of resistance in'the germs causing mastitis. Hess MASTITIS OINTMENT comes in tube with ap- j plirator tip (no syringe needed). Each tube contains 7.5 grams. One tube is a dose for an infected quarter.

Hervey Sherts, product development director of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company. The girls in picture see-sawing on the curved automotive glass demonstrate the strength of the heat tempered glass. This has four to five times the impact resistance of plate glass of the same thickness. It retains crystal clarity to provide maximum vision. HOUSEWIVES DON’T MISS THIS! sSB J Send no money!

Although there, are no publiely-own-l ed roads in Lost Cove, I Swinn Miller, National! Forest Fire Worden, owns a logging truck. He per sonally built a one-mile ‘long road from the rail road siding to the com- up on the moun tain slope. He has also started a road from the community center toward Poplar, N. C. But it takes money to build roods and the folks in Lost Cove, just don’t have that kind of money. You are nrobably won dering about the children —about their education. We are pleased to say that they do have a school in Lost Cove. The State of North Carolina provides the community wiith a teacher. When we were there, Mr. Sinclair Conley, a former professor of Psy chology at the University of Florida, was teaching Arithmetic to some 9 boys and two girls. Mr. Conley made a plea for a road to Lost Cove. He explained that the school only goes to the eigth grade. This means that young folks w T ho get to the eigth grade can go no farther unless! they leave home. There is no high school in the 'rntMitchell H.D^Ciud Meeting Held - ... * The Mt. Mitchell Home Demonstration Club met January 18 for the regular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Cora Rector. 1 Mrs. Rector, who is presi-! dent of the club, discussed 1 j “Fundamentals For a Suc- Jcessful Meeting” and the j “Requirements of a Good 1 Leader” was discussed by Mrs. Tom Huffman. Project leaders were sel ectel for the year and the club welcomed two new members, Mrs. John Stan -1 ley and Mrs. Grace Robin : son. Mrs. Cora Rector and ‘ Mrs. Opal McDougald were * selected to attend the 1 Farm Life meeting to be [ community and the resi dents cannot afford to send their children to an out side boarding school to complete their elccation. Mr. Conley, and allother fathers and mothers in . Lost Cove, feel that if they had a road to link their community with the rest of North Carolina, that they could give their ' children a better chance in .life. We hiked six miles into Lost Cove over snow and ! ice covered mountain trails On our way back, we walk ed down the mountain to the railroad siding to wait for the Clinchfield train to pick us up. To get out of the biting cold we stepped jinto the little 4x6 foot rail |road shelter beside the j tracks. It was loaded with sacks of flour and feed which trainmen on prev ious runs had dropped off. The walls of the shack were scribbled with the usual names and dates. Red lipstick writing dis- ! tinguished those written 1 by the girls from those written by the boys. As we sart on those unguarded bags of feed, we thought of the trust and honesty that prevailed in the com munity—here was forty or or fifty dollars worth of flour ond feed unlocked, without a soul around to guard it. We also realized that here was the first public building that we have ever seen—all writ ten up—but not a solitary word of profanity any i where! Instead there were quotations from the Bible. The folks who live up in Lost Cove are good folks. We wish they had their road.
