97 ladies with great solicitude. He advocates "Safety First" always. If a ladder seems to be slipping precariously, one is to "make other arrangements immediately." The popular spot after the day's work is over is the spring-fed pool —installed by Mr. Keyser primarily for storing water for spraying— but very much appreciated by us for swimming. No account of a camping trip would be complete without mentioning the "eats." Imagine flapjacks with sausage and fried apples; sweet corn, green beans, and tomatoes fresh from the Coppage garden; T-bone steaks from Kennedy's store at Marshall; and, of course, Charlie's incomparable coffee. We get plenty of exercise, fresh air, sunshine, lovely mountain views, experience in camping technique, good fellowship, and fun on apple- camping trips. —Madeline Haenny INDIAN SUMMER DAYS By Dr. Frank Thone First sharp frosts came early this year [1942] over a wide stretch of this country; Indian summer arrived correspondingly soon. The quiet, warm autumn days, with calm air or, at most, moderate, drying winds, are good for hastening the maturing of the crops. They dry the last surplus water out of corn, beans, and other seed crops, mellow late apples and pears, and put the finishing touches on pumpkins and hard- shelled squashes left orphans by their frost-killed vines. There is no fixed date for the arrival of Indian summer, no definite duration for the season. It is not even necessary that a killing frost come first, though that is a usual preliminary. Any warm, quiet spell, following cool or chill fall weather, may be called Indian summer. In some fortunate falls there may be more than one such season. Meteorological background for Indian summer is a "stalled" high- pressure area somewhere in the Southeast, with a large area of low pressure backed up in or near the Yukon valley. There will then be little air movement off the main body of the continent, and even the low- angled autumn sun can warm up the air. Sometimes Indian summer temperatures rival those of actual summer: 90-degree days are not uncommon, though nights are always cool. Only in the English-speaking parts of North America is the name Indian summer used. Similar seasons in Europe have names dating back to the Middle Ages, ascribing them to various autumnal saints; usually St. Martin, whose feast comes on November 11. Very often the season coincides with Hallowe'en, which was originally another day of religious observance, being the Eve of All Hallows, or All Saints' Day. The ancient Greeks had a belief that these calm spells were a gift of the gods for the special benefit of the kingfisher, whose name in Greek is halcyon. The kingfisher was supposed to build a floating nest on the sea, and to sing sweetly to its brood; whence the phrase "halcyon days." Actually, of course, the kingfisher builds its nest in a burrow in the stream or lake bank, and is not at all notable for vocal virtuosity. However, that's just some more of cold-blooded modern science's upsetting of pleasant old fancies. The glistening gossamer threads that float through the air and catch on trees and shrubbery during Indian summer are a source of mystery to many persons. They look just like spiderweb, only you don't see any spiders. Actually they are spiderwebs, and if you look sharp, at the right time, you may see the spiders. But as a rule you'll have to get up fairly early, and on the right days. Very tiny spiders, recently hatched, climb out on the ends of twigs, when very gentle air-warmed currents are

This 1946 bulletin by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club includes (pages 104-108) a 1910 letter to Horace Kephart from A.A. Chable who wrote of his “tramping, camping, and mountain climbing” in the Smokies. Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author and promoter of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
