He was a good watch dog wthing moved within half a tile without bringing him ristling from his bed under Ie house and out to the edge j of the yard to see what ras going on)^ He would tree more pos sums than any dog in the woods, bay a pole cat with the best, dig for hours after a ground hog, and fight any animal that challenged him in the woods, and tree squirrels only by sight which is a great asset. And he could turn a squir e! with the best. Any hunt r qualified to own even a if!e of any kind knows that [dog that will turn a squirrel p worth his weight in coon [ides any day in the week. |ET FAST PACE [Although the bench-legged lest was the best all-round tog on the market, he did kave one fault. Ill- tH pimp more ra1 M.s t an hour than most hounds E a full day but he wouldn’t jin them very far. He was is good as any in a ‘‘sight bee” but once out of sight junny was out of mind until |e was jumped again. I But his real fault was that [he always chased the rab bits at such a swift pace [that you barely had time to [get in one shot and you were lucky to get any. I Hie huntinrT finlrl ume Tint anted to the type mentioned >ove but included snakes and ogs. As I said before if tything moved he was after and he didn’t know when i quit. abbit in tree Our last dog before leaving ig Ivy and going all the way » Raleigh was of this type. I remember quite well one day He chased a rabbit into » stooping hollow tree, tore enough of the dead wood to squeeze inside and fol lowed as fast as he could. [The rabbit, hearing the Disc behind it in the tree, iced out the end of a dead mb and leaped out into lace While we watched too irprised to even raise our Uns the cottontail landed in brier patch far below on the lie of the mountain and ap ;r°ntly slipped away unhurt. ROUNDHOG Another time the same dog ®(,d a groundhog under a ige rock far up on the side ’be mountain. He twisted id turned until he disap rircd jn tj,e cjen anci we •ubl barely hear his furious lr’ing as he tried to get at r Whistle Pig. After a great deal of call urging we realized "S and ^t our pet was hung "out * sight" ' • n the den. He lad been able to slip in but didn't get out. We gave "m up for lost.

CAN YOU SPOT TEN YEAR OLD ERROR? If you don’t believe that history repeats itself, look at the “History of 10 years ago” and see if you can spot the item, published in the NEWS of July 26, 1951, which was erroneous. In selecting tid-bits from the 10-year-old paper this was a particularly interest ing article, so, unaware that it was incorrect when pub lished, the writer selected it and it was reprinted. Imagine Editor Greenwood’s chagrin when the squib he hoped he would never see again, appeared. As he pointed out, “We have to be careful what we print because it becomes history which cannot be recalled” ... so now, we know the error, see if you too can spot it.

Taylor Hopeful P'way Study To Bring Results Within the next few days, President Kennedy is expect ed to place his signature on a bill which could be the fore runner to construction of a 170-mile addition to the Blue Ridge parkway. Introduced by 12th District Congressman Roy A. Taylor, the bill calls for an appropri ation of $35,000 to study what problems would be involved in extension of the parkway from Tennessee Bald near Beech Gap to the Atlanta, Ga., area. The measure has now been passed by both the House and Senate. Before being laid on the President’s desk for sig nature, the bill, because it in volves appropriations, will be given a routine examination by the Bureau of the Budget. While the Taylor bill will not authorize any immediate construction, it will set up the machinery to study what cost, route and right-of-way prob lems would be involved in ex tending the famous mountain crest highway. ‘I am hopeful ihu> ... re suits of this study can be the basis of a bill to start actual construction,” declared Rep. Taylor. Extension of the parkway, as now anticipated, could bring “'hundreds of thousands of new visitors into our Western North Carolina section every summer,” Taylor said. The district representative said the longer parkway would prove a ‘‘great boost to our section” and expressed the hope that the bill would be signed by the President with out delay.

Marshall Upton, a member of the Asheville Red Cross, gave an interesting talk on the Red Cross organization and its world wide ramifica tions. The ARC organization, he said, was started by Clara Barton without regard to race, color, or creed, to help mankind. It is now a quasi governmental organization with most of its members donating their services. Years ago, when disaster hit, neighbors pitched in and helped their unfortunate mem bers. Now, in our complex society many organizations similar to Red Cross do this neighborly act. As well as helping those in distress, Mr. Upton said, the Red Cross as sisted during war times with the care of prisoners, the vet erans and their families. It helps underprivileged children as well, and assists in school health. Today 85 nations have branches of International Red Cross with others in the pro cess of joining; the RC is the symbol of service. Wilbur Ward presided and welcomed 15 guests. Ladies’ Night has been set for Aug. 14 with the district governor attending.

Bus Stop, the second suc cessful play by the author of Come Back Little Sheba, was a smash hit Broadway run and was made into a movie with Marilyn Monroe and Don Mur ray. A testimony to its con tinuing popularity is the fact that one of the major televis ion networks is planning a program series based on the play to begin this fall. DeSales DeLisle, a native of Horsehead, N. Y., now liv ing in Asheville, is showing her watercolor and casein stu dies of nature this week in the Green Room of the thea tre. Next week SILO is present ing G. B. Shaw’s witty com edy-with-a-point, Don Juan in Hell. This will be the first fully costumed and acted ver sion of the play ever profes sionally presented in North Carolina. Don Juan in Hell is the dream sequence in the center of Shaw’s long play, Man and Superman. In it, Don Juan encounters one of his ex-lov ers, Dona Ana,' in hell. Also present are the Devil, a phil osophical, fun loving charac ter and Dona Ana’s father who, on Earth was slain by Don Juan in a duel, and who has recently come from Heav en to spend the rest of his eternity in Hell. The discus sion that takes place between them embody some of Shaw’s most controversial philosophy, couched in his inimitable, wit ty dialogue. Playing Don Juan will be Michael Nixon. Gordon Smith, who played God in Silo’s pro duction of J. B. will play the Devil. Valedia Hill will play Dona Ana, and Michael Lom bard the part of Ana’s father. During the presentation of Don Juan the Green Room will display the sketches and drawings of Rene Robert Douche, one of America’s most fashionable portraitist.
