  • ■»- THE HARM&QOD BARK -i» to receive Old Timers pins, in view of their having been discovered as eligible. These men are E. B. McCollum, superintendent, gold or 20-year pin and the following blue enamel or ten-year buttons: Jess Brooks, began 1911, woods superintendent; L. C. (Dad) Cagle, began 1911, filer; Verne Bateman, fifteen years service, camp store manager and payroll clerk. Dewey Wilson, log scaler, and H. D. Franklin, storeman, also get ten year pins. We were sorry to lose Arthur Storie, who has gone to work for the Kitchen Lumber Co., Robbinsdale. We will not soon forget the good work done by Arthur and the men he supervised in bringing our new railroad from Aquone to Nantahala in the initial stages of our history, and in the remodeling of the railroad already there, from Andrews to Aquone. Mr. Storie was formerly woods superintendent at Barrett, W. Va. "Uncle Charlie" Slagle was a recent visitor to our operation. Uncle Charlie formerly owned our townsite and the Slagle homestead is on the outskirts of our dwelling section. Uncle Charlie can't stay away, for he saw more than his fondest hopes realized when this place was converted from a camper's delight into a real town. We always like to see Uncle Charlie, who makes us think of this story. A cherry tree stands on a high hill, a silent sentinel guarding our hotel. Uncle Charlie says he would like to see this the last tree cut by the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company here and instead of breaking bread with all his Ritter friends, he is going to give each a piece of cherry wood from this tree as a souvenir. To provide more space in circulation in end piling and to guard against an undue amount of pressure from stickers against the lumber, the stickers between the cours:s are frequently placed so that their ends touch the boards instead of resting with their flat surface against them. Grover Barker, camp cook, was off duty a few days recently, during which time the boys were fid by Ralph Edwards, Odell Starnes and Bruce Sage. . . . Dr. B. B. McQuire has moved his headquarters from the mill office to his home nearby. ... A recent visitor, somewhat unfamiliar with trees, has a new one in his vocabulary. It was pointed out to him by Jess Brooks, woods superintendent—a small tree (probably a large one in Ohio) com monly known as the bellwood. . . . If anyone wishes to see more than just ordinary horses, let him come to Nantahala woods, where we have them in 3200 pound teams of huskies. . . . L. C. (Dad) Cagle, our camp filer, puts from eight to twelve saws in shape daily. "Home keeping hearts are happiest" and "there's no place like home"— these facts are illustrated at Nantahala, for it is surprising to note the number Cleve Baldwin and a pair of handsome greys—Nantahala woods. of "Tat Heels' who have come back from Ritter operations in other states since we began work here. Among them are Jess Brooks, Walter Frazier, A. E. Weaver and Mr. Culbertson. Then of course there are many who worked on Hazel Creek. Burned Timber Pays No Wages We anticipate a very progressive change in the establishing of a cable method for taking our buggies loaded with lumber out to the highline and back again, empty. This means that we will no longer need a mule, and while we sympathize with his departure, he is probably glad of it. Nature in her struggle for life and living creation is fighting a losing battle, not from the beautiful side of things, but the Eye tells one that life is receding from the gr:en. The divine arrangements of the outside world are undergoing a wonderful change, the one-time little twig that was so full of life and vigor bending itself so gracefully to the gmtle breeze no longer yields so nimbly to the little dash or puff of wind. Nature in this backward time of the year is putting on her coat of yellow, scarlet, brown and almost crimson, the master architect has placed on the screen, mountains of the most wonderful and fascinating colors. One can, so to speak, lose himself gazing at this panorama of Nature. Really the fall of the year is close by, with the chestnut already dropping from the burr and Jack Frost no longer a stranger in this fair Nantahala land. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Franklin and daughters Joy and Gwendolene, who- have been visiting relatives in Caldwell County for the past few weeks, returned home on a recent Friday. . . . Mrs. Jack Bryant, seriously ill for the past few days, is slowly improving. Mrs. Bryant has hosts of friends here who hope she will soon recover. . . . Miss Edna Holcombe, our clubhouse dining room girl, has just returned from the Franklin Hospital, where she underwent an operation for appendicitis. She is missed very much by the "old gang" and we sincerely hope she will get well speedily. . . Mr. Ervin Weaver, our chief inspector, is on the sick list and Mrs. Weaver went with him to Dillard, Ga. to be near their family physician. . . . Mr. S. M. Wolfe and Mr. A. W. Agee have been with us. We are glad to have our "bosses" come around occasionally. . . Sightseers have been numerous here for the past month. . . . J. A. Weller, assistant editor of the Bark, spent a few days here recently. We were glad to have Mr. Weller with us. Members of the Ritter family will always find a welcome to our little burg. RED CROSS HEALTH HINT Now that the winter is upon us, let us not neglect to keep our bedroom windows open while we sle»p. In an era of electric pads, hot water bottles and warm, light covering, there is no reason why we cannot have a comfortable night's rest in a cold room. Only in very severe climates is it perhaps advisable not to keep the windows wide open at night. Moreover, we can work more efficiently and more contentedly in home, shop or office, if the windows are opened for a few minutes several times a day. And let us remember that a brisk, daily walk tones up the system so that we do not feel the cold so much. To educate the public in the value of fresh air and in disease prevention, the National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated organizations are conducting the twenty-first Christmas seal sale.
