PAGE FOUR • p. - jWTTr ...M -I ] Around The Mt. Mitchell Forest Service District By George Vitas, U. S. Forest Ranger Gu s Hultman, Ranger on < the Blue Ridge Pankway, tells us that the out-of state traffic has more than 1 doubled. Last year, at about this time, he could : count between 125 to 150 out-of state cars per day on the Parkway. But this year it is not at all unusual to see as many as 300 or more per day. Out of state j Parkway visitors seem to run in Regional cycles. During early spring, the New Englanders and East ern Seaboard residents, mostly adults, pour in. < Then in early summer the sight seeing school child ren come. In mid and late summer, the mid western ers, along with hundreds of ( cars from other states take over. Since school is out at this time of the year, most of the summer traffic con sists of family groups. Sin ce the Blue Ridge Parkway cuts the southern division of the Mt. Mitchell District in two, visitors get an ex cellent view of the Forest in Yancey County when they look north and Mc- Dowell county when they gaze south.

They’ll ~go home and tell others about it. And others, their curosity aroused, are bound to come to see for themselves. Reports from most of the Southern states tell of powder dry drought condi tions. Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina, along with parts of North Caro lina, predict crop losses running into the millions unless relieving rains show up soon. Water tables are| dropping dangerously and many streams are dwind lisg into trickles. In Spruce Pine, the unusual drought conditions have placed a severe strain on the city water supply. The Board of Alderman has requested residents not to sprinkle lawns or gardens. The Board warned that it has “full authority to arrest and prosecute any water users who sprinkle lawns or gardens after being notified not to do so, and hopes not to be obliged to do so.” And, like everybody else, we too are sweating out this drought on the Forest. Up until we got] some scattered showers last Sunday, the groundj was so badly parched that any fire that started would ( have burned very deep and would have done great da-j mage not only to the trees Just Received Large Shipment of Children’s Dresses.
