Horse Show To Feature
"Cutting Hoss" Exhibition
MURPHY - The Murphy
Lions Club's 3rd Annual
Smoky Mountain Horse Show
slated for Saturday, June 5,
promises to be bigger and
better than ever with a full
hour of entertainment prior
to show time.
Pre-show activities Include
dance routines by the Caro
lina Sweethearts, a greasy
pig contest, and a Quarter
Horse (Cutting Horse)Exhibi
tion.
A spokesman for the club
says if you wonder why there
is a horn on a western sad
dle, you have never seen a
cutting horse in action and
that any one of the 8,000
men and boys from 8 to 80
Involved with the training and
riding of cutting horses can
testify that few of the best
riders who ever lived could
stay with a cutting horse at
work without holding onto the
saddle horn- it is indispen
sable for steadying ones
weight In the saddle so as
not to throw the horse off
stride.
Cutting horsemen will also
tell you at the drop of a stet
son- the $100 variety that many
of them like to wear- that a
cutting-horse contest is more
exciting than any horse race
and exacts more of a horse
and rider than a dressage ex
hibition.
Monetary prizes for the
Horseshow this year total
(1700, and will be divided
among the winners of the IS
classes. This year's show
offers classes for Quarter
Horses, Walking Horses and
Galted Horses, as well as

Forest Service Orders
Picnic Fees Reduced
WASHINGTON - A 50 per
cent reduction In entrance fees
to designated pincic and camp
ing areas on North Carolina's
national forests has been ord
ered by the U. S. Forest Ser
vice.
Adjust ments in the new fee
system, which is scheduled to
go Into effect July 1 on the
Pisgah, NantahalaandCroatan
National Forests, were re
ported Monday by Congress
man Roy A. Taylor.
Edward P. Cliff, chief of
the U. S. Forest Service, in
formed Taylor that "we have
decided that some country
wide adjustments in the entr
ance fee rate originally ann
ounced are in order."
Cliff said that entrance fees
that will apply in the South
east will be:
1. At areas designated for
"days only" (picnicking), a
daily fee of .25 cents per
person, 16 years or older.
2. At areas designated for
"overnight" use (camping), a
daily fee of .50 cents.
3. A season ticket covering
entrance to all designated
sites or areas under the ad
ministration of one forest sup
ervisor, $1.25 per person.
This means that the season
tickets would be good on any
of the national forests in North
Carolina.
Cliff said that of course,
if a visitor has purchased the
$7 national recreation conse
rvation sticker, or is in a
private non-commercial auto
mobile with some one who has,
neither the seasonal nor the
daily entrance fee will be
required.
The original entrance tee
rates, authorized under the
Land and Water Conservation
Act of 1965, called for a dally
charge of .50 cents per person
and a seasonal charge of $2.50
per person for use of the
picnic and camping areas.
The reduction in the fees
was considered a victory for
Taylor, who has been leading
a fight with Federal officials
over the picnic and camping
charges since they were ann
ounced In April.
The action of the Forest
Service still leaves unan
swered the policy the National
Park Service will come up
with for the Great Smoky Mou
ntain National Park and the
Blue Ridge Parkway.
The Bureau of Outdoor Re
creation has recommended
that a user fee be charged
for designated picnic and cam
ping areas in the park and on
the Parkway.
In a letter to Taylor, ann
ouncing the reduction of fees,
Cliff said that arrangements
?re being made to Install a
number of coin-operated
ticket dispensing machines to
i collect the entrance fees to
' the picnic and camping areas
> on the North Carolina Nat
? lonal Forests.
? "We have had several years
I experience with these mach
' Ines In the west," Cliff said,
> "and we are convinced they
will make the system both
easier to administer and
somewhat more acceptable to
the public."
Cliff said that "we believe
that a feasible plan with rea
sonable rates has been devel
oped," adding that if Taylor
had any further questions , "we
shall be happy to try and an
swer them."
In notifying Taylor of the
fee reductions, Cliff said that
"much thought has been given
to the questions you have
raised and we have decided
that adjustments are in
order."
He said, however, that "we
can only conclude that our
basic program is as carefully
planned as it can be until
there has been some actual
experience with it."
"On the basis of the re
cord available to us," Cliff
said, "we are also convinced
that it meets the specific lan
guage of the act and the intent
of Congress in every re
spect."
Taylor has argued that Con
gress, in passing the act,
never intended that lees be
charged for picnicking, al
though he agreed that a
nominal fee for camping was
in order on the National For
ests.
But Taylor said he would
continue to oppose the intro
duction of user fees in the
great Smokies and the Blue
Ridge Parkway since these
lands were donated by North
Carolina, Tennessee and
private foundations.
Taylor succeeded in getting
an amendment to the act that
exempted the Great Smokies
and Blue Ridge Parkway from
admission and entrance fee
charges, but the Bureau of
Outdoor Recreation contends
that tills did not exempt the
two from a user fee for picnic
and camping areas.
Watershed Association To
Present Five-County Survey
YOUNG HARRIS - The
Upper Hlawassee Watershed
Development Association will
climax the first phase of its
development effort on June
29 when it presnets the find
ings of its exhaustive
inventory on the resources of
the Upper Hiwassee Valley.
The meeting will be held in
the Fine Arts Building at
Young Harris College at 7:30
p.m. TV A Director Frank E.
Smith will deliver the key
note address.
Information on the area's
resources was collected by
more than SO local people
serving on eight separate work
groups established by the dev
elopment association. TVA
assisted the local leaders by
supplementing their data, an
alyzing and compiling it, and
publishing it In a 240-page
report.
Emmett Jordan of Blue
Ridge, association president,
said the report will contain
more informaton about the
?re* and Its resources than
has been assembled at one
time previously.
The Inventory is not a plan
for development, Jordan em
phasized, but it is an impor
tant first step In identifying
the primary needs and oppor
tunities of the area. It will
provide a sound factual found
ation upon which to build.
Programs and activities can
be formulated which are based
upon accurate Information
about the areas needs and the
potential which its resources
hold for meeting these needs.
The Inventory report is ex
pected to be used by chambers
of commerce, local govern
ments, and industrial devel
opment groups In their quest
for new industries. It will be
used by schools in teaching
students more about the area
In which they live. Civic clifc
ir embers and local business
man will use it in talking to
clients about new business
opportunities in the area.
The Upper Hiawassee Wat
ershed Development Associa
tion will use it in formulating
activities and programs des
igned to increase the ec
onomic benefits which the area
receives from its basic nat
ural and human resources.
The association invites the
public to attend the presen
tation meeting, learn more
about the area and its
potential, and join with others
in working to strengthen the
local economy.
Membership in the assoc
iation is open to all interested
citizens for |1 per year.
Businesses, chamber of co
mmerce, civic clubs, and local
governmental units also may
join for dues ranging from $5
to )25 per year.

ACROSS:
1. Probably most people would choose WEALTHY companies
if they could (Healthy). -WEALTHY is true to human nature.
Whether it's wise is beside the point. Healthy is weak. A
person's health isn't a major factor when choosing him as
a companion.
4. A sensitive person is often easily upset by thoughtless
HUMOR (Rumor). -Not Rumor; if it affects him he's easily
upset more frequently than often. HUMOR is better; sensitive
people often misinterpret thoughtless HUMOR as intentional
unkindness.
6. You can often tell by a man's appearance that he HAS
a very responsible job (Had). -That he HAS the job will
very likely show either in dress or manner, through which
you can often spot the fact. If the job is past, if he Had it,
there's nothing in the clue to suggest that he's grown seedy
in appearance or that he has any less on his mind. Often
overstates. HAS is the better word.
7. It's usually a pleasure to talk with someone who SEEMS
to be informed about our hobbies (Seeks). - Usually goes
reaher far with Seeks; he might be obnoxiously nosy. SEEMS
is more to the point; we've something in common with him.
8. If you want to keep cheerful it s usually best to avoid
contact with MISERS (Misery). - Not Misery; you can't escape
the realities. MISERS is better; MISERS are apt to be pretty
uncongenial folk.
13. When her husband praises another woman very highly
it's apt to make a young wife CURIOUS (Furious). -Furious
overstates. And the clue doesn't suggest the young wife is
inordinately jealous. CURIOUS is more realistic.
14. The happier a man is at his work the more likely it is
to be his BENT (Best). -Best is open to question. It normally
means a particular piece of work. BENT refers to the work
for which he's best suited, and which most appeals to him.
Much discretion is usually required when dealing with a
superior who is HURT (Curt). -Not Curt, terse, abrupt. It
doesn't necessarily follow that he's sensitive or easily provoked.
He's more likely to appreciate plain speaking! Hurt is better,
he has been offended.
DOWN:
I. People who appreciate good food usually like a tasty
FISH (Dish). -Usually fits better with FISH: though
FISH (Dish). -Usually fits better with FISHj though they
appreciate good food, they might not like FISH. Usually
understates with Dish. It's a tasty one.
3. It's usually a big surprise to win top prize in a contest
when we expected to be LOSER (Lower). -Usually points
to LOSER: we didn't expect anything. With Lower we thought
we'd win a prize, though a smaller one.
5. Most youths take a lively interest in GAMES (Dames).
-Most understates with Dames, taken to mean young women.
GAMES is better; not all youths have a lively interest in
sports.
7. We usually appreciate a friend's advice when it enables
us to SEE our troubles right (Set). - We virtually always
appreciate advice that enables us to Set our troubles right.
SEE doesn't go quite so far. There's quite a difference be
tween SEEing them right and Setting them right ? resolving
the problem.
9. We're apt to be impatient of people who SPOUT opinions
on matters they know little about (Scout). - Apt understates
with Scout, which means reject as absurd, flout, scoff at.
The restraint is better with SPOUT ; at least, they are not
scoffing.
10. We're sometimes flattered when rivals GRAB our ideas
(Crab). - There's nothing flattering about criticism from
rivals (Crab). If they GRAB our ideas it's a compliment,
unless the move hurts our own affairs. That's why the moderate
frequency of sometimes, in the clue.
II. How irritating people are who think they're authorities
on a forelgh country after TOUR in itl (Hour). -Irritating
is scarcely the word for the statement with Hour; ridiculous
might be better I TOUR makes a matter-of-fact statement.
12. We're apt quickly to grow tired of a person's boasting
about his PAST wealth (Vast). -Vast implies he still has it;
we're more than merely apt to tire of such boasting, in a
hurry. Boasting of PAST wealth falls under the heading of
reminiscence. It might be entertaining.
