PAGE FOUR Around The Mt. Mitchel Forest Service District By George Vitas, U. S. Forest Ranger Judging by the deer sign' that we’ve seen, we’d say tha the Mt. Mitchell Game Man agement Area deer have al ready discovered that the 4.88 mile power line right of way I cleared by the French Broad' Electric Company from the South Toe River road to FM Radio station WMIT on top of Clingman’s Peak, makes a handy walkway. The new line is an REA 3-phase job. With its termnal end at an eleva tion of more than 6,000 feet above sea level, it becomes the highest power line in eas tern America. The line is on Pisgah National land and is designed to withstand Mt. 1 Mitchell’s) sub-zero' weather! during the winter months.' Large poles, heavy wire j short pans and a wide right of way are particular 'feat ures of the new line. And while, deer have taken a liking to the pother line 1 right of way, bear have ad- 1 opted a certain telephon pole on the U. S. Forest Ser vice phone line > between Bus-' ick and Mt. Mitchell. They^ left their unmistakable trade mark on it. The “bear pole”i has the earmarks of a beav-J er’s work except that the groove, which is chewed com | pletely around the standing pole, is six feet off the ground We’re not certain why bea | have chosen to chew on this particular pole. Forestry Aid | John Stanley, who saw the pole recently, says that h | believes its the juicy insect population that infests th | ; pole that causes the bear to , ' SQUARE DANCE ; EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT ; CAJT4IL ” !

General Harry McMullan to the State Highway and Pub lie Works Commission. McMullan’s ruling came at the request of the Commis -1 sion, which has designated | the month of November for a 'campaign of voluntary coop eration from roadside adver tisers, looking to removal of all advertising from rights of-way. The Commission has indicated it will take more stringent action if t*he sign owners fail to cooperate. “This does not mean there 'can be no signs at all”, High way Chairman Henry W. Jor dan emphasized. “It merely means that roadside adver- 1 tisers should take their signs off the rights-of-way and puty no more on the rights-of-way”] He pointed out that signs advising the exact footage of right-of-way for given roads 1 are posted at frequent inter j vals along the highways, and these should be consulted by ( advertisers who want to know whether their signs encroach on rights-of-way. \ | McMullan said the Com-' 1 mission is empowered to re ' move signs from rights-of -1 way, even over the objections of owners of the signs. He I added that the law makes it ' a misdemeanor for advertis ers to put signs on rights-! of-way. Highway maintenance for ces throughout the State have been directed to tear down signs posted on rights-of way to advertise fairs, auto races, games, auctions and other events that already 1 been held. This, according 1 highway officials will reduce some of the eye-distraction . that creates traffic hazards, f make the roadsides look bet- j ter, and at the same time , create compliance with the ] State and Federal regulations j forbidding encroachment on | rights-of-way. | After this month, such signs will be taken down by 1 , highway forces whether the advertised event has been held or not, and the same policy will be applied to oth er illegal roadside advertis ing.

She will be a featured at traction of the gala parade. Thomas L. Robinson, cha irman of the Carrousel’s Dis tinguished Guests Committee, received word early this week that Miss Hendrix has accepted the invitation to at tend the big festival. The star will be accompan ied to Charlotte by Bill Hen drix of the Hollywood firm of King Kennedy & Associates. Mr. Hendrix also accompan ' ied Coleen Gray, last year’s < Carrousel honorary queen. Miss Hendrix, whose lates picture is “The Highwayman’ is a native of Jacksonville Florida. She has starred in 1 many motion pictures and has appeared opposite some of the biggest box office nam j ; es in the motion picture in dustry. Among her movies I were “Prince of Foxes” with • Tyrone Power, “Welcome | Stranger”, with Bing Crosby and "Tatlock’s Millions” with John Lund. j Her visit here is being ar (ranged in connection with the sale of U.

Blown loose into the low lands, It piles up in small hum mocks in the valleys. As late as 1891 there was an abundant fall in Turkey. It still Is eaten by the desert tribes. A similar species was used by the ancient Egyptians for making bread; at present it usually Is mixed with meal. This curious bit of botanical history is revealed by Dr. George A. Llano, former asso ciate curator of cryptograms the U.S V national museum, now with the air force, in a report of an extensive study of the eco nomic uses of lichens jnst Is sued as part of the annual re port of the Smithsonian Institu tion. Lichens' are of world-wide occur rence. They constitute the pastures I of the Arctic, where they are im ! portant to life. They have a slgnif ! icant role in human economy, with uses ranging from human food to dyes and delicate perfumes. Dr. Llano details these uses, many of which are little known The plants themselves, of which there are thousands of species, rep resent a curious and unique type of evolution. Botanists have a hard time accepting lichens into the community of plants > because of I their compound nature. Each in- Allen Completes Basic Airman Course Lackland Air Force Base, Texas —Pvt.

But they live together in such a balanced re lationship that they not only act like a single organism but are able to reproduce the unit. One partner is a fungus, like a mold; it is the water gatherer. The other is a blue-green or green alga of the type that forms the green scum on stagnant water. The alga makes food for itself and the fungus. Both the alga and the fungus have 1 their own proper names, but these are entirely different from that used for the lichen. The greatest economic use of lichens. Dr. Llano points out, is as fodder. Over thousands of square miles of the Arctic, generally above timber line, are lichen pastures used by reindeer, caribou, and musk-ox. These pastures cover parts of Greenland, Iceland. Scan dinavia. Alaska, Siberia, Labrador, northern Canada, and the Arctic Archipelago. Over most of this area the chief importance of lichens to man is as food for the wild caribou and domesticated reindeer, harvested, the lichen can be used as food for most domes ticated animals. Man himself long has used lichens for food. The most popular form is known as Iceland moss. It was sometimes mixed with grain and potatoes and made into a bread flour. Lichens long have been used as medicines. pltopTaiaiP 1 Harsh Drugs for Constipation ■ End Chronic Oosing!
