North Carolina’s own Asheville,
Thomas Wolfe’s birth place, and
the city which served as the
ir ode 1 for the setting of the

Hie House Monday passed an
sent to the White House for sis,
nature a Bill introduced by U.
S, Representative Roy A. Tay
lor, Democrat, from N. C., to
officially establish the Cradle
of Forestry in Pisgah NationaK
Forest in Western N. C. The *
Bill cleared the House on. a 37S
to 71 roll call vote. An identi
cal Bill was approved by the
Senate earlier this year. ■ ost a
few years ago as a U.
Service project, the ( die of
Forestry is physically located
where forestry was fi* prac
tical in • American in 1393. It
seeks to dramatize to visitors
how professional forestry, man
agement and harvesting techni
ques have advanced through the
years. Seven buildings have al
ready been constructed on the
site, including a Visitor’s Cen
ter and reproduction of a school
house where forestry was first
taught.
Representative Taylor’s Bill
will accomplish two chief ob
jectives. It establishes land
boundaries to set the Cradle
apart from Pisgah Forest as a
separate Forest Service entity;
and it encourages private parti
cipation by setting up a means
by which the Secretary of Ag
riculture may accept gifts, in
cluding items of historical in
terest, from outside groups or
individuals.
