Frank holds the franchise for "Real Log Home" buildings for this area and is a staunch advocate of log home living. "log construction has been the one enduring tally American architectural style," says Frank. Early frontiersmen and trappers chose log buildings because they were simply constructed and easily erected with a mini mum of time, tools and skill. On an approximately 50 acre site in Green Mountain, Frank has erected one log cabin and plans to build,several more on beautifulrolling hills with huge pine trees shading the land. The log homes will blend harmoni ously with the landscape—they will never detract from the environment, says Frank. Good roads have been con structed into the property and lead to each proposed cabinsite, The one cabin which Frank has already built is a stunning example of how the finished "Real Log Home" can look. Native stone is used for a low wall in front of the home and for steps and a pathway to the cabin. Inside the home is a America’s Love Affair With The Outdoor^ Public awareness of the wonders of nature has caused a huge interest in camping. Whether over-night, over the week-end, or on an entire vacation, people are flocking to the various camp-sites throughout the country. The variety of equipment matches that of the campers themselves. Investments can surpass those for a luxury automobile. One company has found a way to combine a light weight, fiberglass trailer designed for both long and short-term camping trips. Only 13 feet long, less than 7 feet wide, and weighing only 850 pounds, the Boler American can easily be towed by a compact car. It is large enough to sleep four. Clean-up chores present no problem. Utilizing F.nsolite insulation which was designed originally for aircraft and space vehicles, the insulation material is a closed cell vinyl foam with* a carpet grained ’"nish easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

The team—from the South eastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study at the University of Georgia—was called in by the North Carolina Wilxilife Re sources Commission to try to identify the cause. So far,oriy a few dead deer have been found. The research team has taken blood samples from live trapped deer to try to deter - mine what kind of disease is affecting the deer. The results will be announced by the Wild life Commission as soon as they are known. Last year, a disease struck depr in the Uwharrie Game Land With the current trend towards personalization, the Boler American can be ordered in a choice of colors.

"This sort of problem usual ly occurs in areas where deer populations are high,'baid Frank Barick, chief of the Division of Game for the Wildlife Com mission. "It is a natural con - tool which occurs where hunters have not killed enough deer to keep the herd within the limits of its range." Needs Help- And A Teeth Going bear hunting this win ter? If you do, and you MU a bear, the N. C. Wildlife Re sources Commission could use your help—and a tooth. The Wildlife Commission is trying to learn more about hears in North Carolina so that proper management and regulations can be applied in future years to save the state's dwindling sup ply of bears. Hunters who Mil a bear dur ing the season are asked to take the kill to the nearest Wildlife Cooperator Agent. The agent will then contact a Commission game biologist who will get in touch with the hunter. The hunter will then he asked to fill out a brief form furnish - ing information that can be used in studies. Also, the biologist will extract a small tooth from the bear to determine the bearh afee. "The tooth will be a small one, and it will not mair the bear's appearance for these who want to have Mm mounted," said Dick Hamilton, a Wildlife Commission spokesman. 1 The program is purely volun tary, but the information coil - ected could help raise the popu lation of bears in the state in future years, and provide better hunting.
