The laying of a new water line down the middle of its main thoroughfare and the damage done by the flooding of the French Broad River on November 6 have in no way hampered the activity of residents who have been actively involved for the past weeks in putting together this year’s production. This annual community sponsored drama had its beginning in 1963 prompted by the vision of one who saw the similarity of the hills of Peggy Bailey of Styles Salon, Burnsville; Debbie Wise of Chatterbox, Newland; Janice Elliott, Janet Wallace, Bill Wheeler and Mary Ella Boone. The hairdressers will meet January 23 (no meeting in December) with Nancy Webb who will just be returning from the National Hairdresser and Cosmetologist Beauty Show in Las Vegas with all the new styles and ideas. We invite all hairdressers to attend that meeting. Bethlehem and the mountains surrounding Marshall. Each December since that time (except for 1973 when the energy crisis necessitated cancellation) live burros and sheep have been moved onto the Courthouse lawn and a manger scene assembled and a local cast and choir have brought to life again the Christmas story. * This years performance is sponsored by the local resi dents and Lions Club, backed by local merchants and various church groups. There is no admission charge and all are invited to share in the event. Refreshments follow ing the drama will be served in the Courthouse lobby on both nights. Gladys Coletta THE INVESTIGATION By Dorothy Uhnah. Pp. 283. Simon & Schuster, Publish ers, N.Y. Did she? or Didn’t she? is the constant question in the reader’s mind, as he ponders the gripping story of a woman accused of murdering her children, in the novel The Investigation, by Dorothy Uhnah. In spite of the weight of evidence and prejudice against Kitty Keeler, the accused murderess, Joe Pe ters, a world-wise detective assigned to the case, begins to doubt that < she is guilty. Small scraps 'of. information collected here and there, together with Kitty’s unusual reaction to the crime, > con vince Joe that there is more than meets the eye. Although the press and the public crucify her constantly, along with the-other detectives who judge her guilty, Joe sets out to unearth and run down all suspicious evidence. The trial leads hint’ from high to low-from members of the crooked political world linked with Kitty’s name, to her consorts among the Mafia. Kitty had indeed cut a wide swath, and Joe stepped on dangerous ground. However, since there is no such thing as a perfect crime, truth will out, and the stunning climax is as believable as it is disturbing.

Wildlife Resources Commission. “And there seems to be some misunderstanding of events which have taken place recently relative to wild boar in the Park and to the Wildlife Resources Commission’s po sition on the problem.'’ The European wild boar was first brought to North Carolina in 1912 to stock a private hunting preserve in Graham County. The power ful boar escaped their enclo sure on the preserve in short order and rapidly established themselves in the nigged mountains of Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. By the 1940’s they had spread to, and were well established in the area that is now the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. ‘ - „ Sport hunting for wild boar is allowed on public and private lands outside the park, and this has kept the growth of the boar population under control. But public hunting has traditionally not been allowed within the Park boundaries. ■A ‘Thank M You’ Not 6 10 The owners of Wheeler’s Trailer Park, the people who live there, and the ones whp had tp move because of the flootj, would like to send our deepest appreciation and thanks to City Policeman Daqny Hunter, Highway Pa; trolman Bill Stallings, Sheriff Kermit Banks and his broths* Robert Banks, Police Chief Joe Gillespie, Members ofthd Fire Department, Police De partment, Rescue Squad*. Ambulance Service and to ag the other people that helped on;' the morning of the.. November 6 flood. ,i ---The Owners of Wheeler’s Trailer Park- According to Hazel, the problem with wild boar on the Park is one which the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commis sion has been involved in for a long time. “Since 1962 we have been working with the Park Service, under the provisions of a cooperative agreement, in removing prob lem and excess wild boar from the Park by live trapping and relocating the animals,’’ said Hazel. “Animals trapped over the years have been released on areas outside the Park where public hunting is allowed.” In the fall of 1976, Park officials discontinued the live trapping program. Hazel said that he received a letter from the Park superintendent on January 20 informing him that the 1962 cooperative agree ment between the Park and the Wildlife Resources Com mission was being terminated and that a new agreement should be considered. "At that time the staff of the Wildlife Resources Com mission began negotiating for a new agreement to reinsti tutfc a program of live trapping and relocation to control the wild boar popula tion in the Park. Several meetings were held with representatives of the Park t 6 work out the details of such an agreement.” Hazel said that although the final wording of a new cooperative agreement on the management of wildlife in the Park, in general, and another specifically dealing with the wild boar, were worked out during a meeting on March 29, the final document con cerning the management of the wild boar on the Park has not been received by the Wildlife Resources Commis sion for final approval and signing. That agreement called for the resumption of live trap ping of wild boar on the Park by National Park Service personnel, with captured ani mals to be turned over to Wildlife Resources Commis sion personnel for release on public hunting areas outside the Park. •. “In early September we learned that Park officials had undertaken an acceleration of their program to eradicate wild boar from the Park by the use of professional hunters and dogs, said Hazel. “Upon learning this, we protested to the Superintendent, of the Park, to the Director of the National Park Servile and to Wildlife Afield .. - .:.<*?,• .V v the Secretary of the Depart ment of the Interior and were successful in bringing the hunting to a halt.” Since then Park Service officials have held two meet ings with people who live in the vicinity of the Park and who have an interest in the wild boar problem to explain Park Service programs con cerning the boar. Hazel noted that the Park Service had also set up a meeting for October 14 with representatives of the Wild life Resources Commission. This meeting has subsequent ly been rescheduled for October 19. “I have been informed by the Director of the National Park Service that the cooperative agreement on Martha White’s Bluegrass xjE*/ ' Caravan Presents: H VJim B Lester Flatt & The Nashvilje Grass The Lewis Family Friday, December 2nd 7:45 P.M.

"Recent news releases from the National Park Service has emphasized the exclusive jurisdiction of the Park Service over wildlife within the Park,” he continu ed. “While this is a fact, we have repeatedly stressed to Park officials that the Great Smokey” Mountains National Park is part of the states of North Carolina and Tennessee and it cannot be operated without consideration for the interests of the people of these states. "While wild boar may be causing problems within the Park, it is a prized game PAGE 7 animal which is well estab-J lished in the Park, as well as [4 , adjacent lands, and it would be impractical to eradicate it from the Park.” “The Wildlife Resources Commissions strongly be- • lieves that the only solution to the problem is to control the wild boar population through the resumption of the live trapping program and thru providing for limited, careful ly controlled, public sport hunting for boar in selected sections of the Park. “We intend to maintain this position, which we feel is in the best interest of the wild boar, the people of North Carolina and the Great Smokey Mountains National Park itself,” Hazel concluded. ,
