THE HARMHOOD pital for appendicitis treatment. . . Mrs. Vera Bateman, of the camp store, and her two children spent several days with Mrs. Henry Franklin. . . Mr. and Mrs. Franklin and children and Helen Warden spent a week end at Jud- son, N. C. . . Uncle Charlie Slagle is here now, looking over the improvements that are being made. He is as jolly as a sixteen-year old boy. We hope Uncle Charlie will live to spend many more days here at his beloved mountain home, where he spends much of his time every summer. F. W. Tittle has returned to the employ of our company at this operation. IMPRESSIONS By A Visitor "High, high, high up in the hills", breathing the cool clean breath of Balsam, we rode through an indescribably beautiful range of mountains to a little town, as pretty as its name, Rainbow Springs. Curiously I gazed about me as we turned a sharp curve and it came into view. My first impression was that of intense beauty; six or seven blue imposing mountains form a basin in which the village nestles comfortably. Through the bottom of this natural bowl courses the cold swift stream of the Nantahala, musically and rightly named by the red men long ago and interpreted as "Waters of Many Falls". Color everywhere; from the blue of the skies, the green of the virgin-wooded mountains, the soft hues of wild Honeysuckle and Rhododendron, to the silver flash of a Rainbow Trout which cannot resist leaping for an inviting gnat. Nor do the homes, so attractive and neat are they on the banks of the stream, noticeably mar the natural beauty of the scene. Evening brings a loneliness that rivals that of the day by flinging its red-gold sunset in the west, and hanging a new moon, like a gold sabre, low over a mountain. Later the little fire-flies blaze continually here and there above the river, as if they are trying to atone for the electricity's being cut off. Silence, serene and still, is my next impression; It seems to me that silence is necessary for thought, for dreams that achieve, for love that welds the bonds between man and God, and between man and man. How seldom do we know the deep joy that comes from meditation which somehow purges one BARK -*» from the fever of living in this swiftly moving age, leaving him rested and grateful? The first impressions of Rainbow Springs more easily explain the presence of the wholesome atmosphere of friendliness and good will so obvious among the people. The peaceful surrounding has imbued them with that easy, somewhat retiring, yet warm and gracious, manner found in people who live in the mountains. Among these sturdy steady-working folk gathered from many different localities there is much material for character study. One cannot easily forget the jovial mill super- Vaughn Geiger, rip sawyer and trim- merman and Donald Franklin (right), offbearer, on the Maben yard. intendent whose "long suit" is teasing, nor the affable young viking who hands groceries and mail to hungry mouths and hearts; nor the big red haired doctor who smiles all the time, even when he is riding his queer bicycle on the railroad track; nor "Skeezix" who sprinkles fun everywhere; nor the ladies, especially the one at the club house, who cooks all those good rolls, an' steak, an' potatoes, an' pie. Truly a lasting thrill comes with a visit to Rainbow Springs! Scotty—Ye'll no be chargin' me for askin' a question? Lawyer—Oh no, the only expense involved is when I answer it. —Powell River. Nurse—Professor, a boy has arrived. Absentminded Professor—Ask him what he wants. —Public Service. -*r Maben -** A short but interesting meeting was held at the dimension mill on Monday afternoon, August thirteenth, conducted by Mr. T. G. Bonallo. The foreman and entire crew were present. The principal subjects discussed were manufacture, costs and production. It seems that the quantity of dimension being made was less than it should have been. It was found one cause of the small production was due to a misunderstanding as to the grade of stock desired in some instances and a considerable amount was being thrown out that should have gone in. Of course the cost will be in line if the production is secured and the manufacture must be watched at all times to see that the product is right before it leaves the mill. It is felt that much good will result from this meeting even though only about twenty minutes was consumed in the discussion. A meeting of the planing mill crew was held at the mill from 5:30 to 6:00 o'clock August sixteenth, under the direction of Mr. Bonallo. Excerpts from the minutes of this meeting include the following interesting phases of work: Beginning at once all strip flooring is to be marked at the grading table with white chalk on the face of the piece. Trimming of cross grain from ends of parquetry stock in grades of A and better is to be carefully watched. Production reports for the last two months were analyzed. Attention was called to the good showing in reduction of waste. Records show that the waste was materially reduced during the past few months. Generally speaking, the crew is doing splendid work, but there is always room for improvement, said Mr. Bonallo. No little excitement was caused recently by blast of the fire whistle and the men lost no time in getting to the scene of the blaze; the ladies also heard the alarm and many of them turned out. The fire had started in the residence of John Williams but the family had succeeded in extinguishing it before the fire brigade arrived and not much damage was done except to some clothing, etc., which was burned. Dr. F. L. Banks has accepted a call from the Kings Daughters Hospital of Beckley and the Hinton Hospital of Hinton to do the eye, ear, nose and throat work at those institutions, effective August 1. We are sorry that the doctor and his family are to leave Twelve

“The Hardwood Bark” was a publication produced “for the employees of the W.M Ritter Lumber Co.” William McClellan Ritter (1864-1952) organized the company in 1901 and, from 1903 until 1926, the company operated on Hazel Creek in Swain County, North Carolina, before moving its operations to Nantahala. Published during the 1920s, the monthly newsletter typically ran to about 25 pages. “The Hardwood Bark” was filled with articles on the Ritter company and the timber industry, but also included local stories. The pages included in this collection were selected because they relate to communities within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town of Ritter was near the junction of Hazel Creek and the Little Tennessee River; a sawmill was built at Proctor, about four miles north of Ritter. The town of Ritter has long since been abandoned and Proctor is beneath the waters of Fontana Lake.
