  • HEADQUARTERS As a result of the ever increasing activities of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, it was found advisible to establish permanent headquarters. In view of the pleasant relations that have always existed between the Hiking Club and the East Tennessee Automobile Club, it was decided to accept the offer of the Automobile Club to make our headquarters with that organization at its offices, 315 Wr. Church Ave. All equipment and property of the Hiking Club will be kept at the new headquarters. Publications and communications received from other hiking and mountaineering clubs will be available to our members there. HISTORIAN President Jennison has appointed Robert Lindsay Mason, artist and Smoky Mountains writer, as historian of the Hiking Club. In addition to keeping records of the club's activities and accomplishments, Mr. Mason plans to compile and preserve information of all kinds relating to the Great Smokies. The active assistance of all members and friends of the club is requested by Mr. Mason. If you have an unusually good picture, story, poem or book of the Great Smokies, let him see it. If you have heard a choice bit of typical dialect, write it down and send it to Mr. Mason. If you know of an unusually interesting experience in these mountains, let's have it. We should carefully preserve every bit of mountain lore, because the mountain people whom we have known and loved are changing and will continue to change. If you have seen a rare wild flower, mushroom or other plant, make a record of it and turn it in to the club's headquarters for Mr. Mason, or give it to him personally. Keep on the alert for unusual birds or animals. There are bears, deer, wild turkeys, golden eagles, ravens, and many other rai«-species of animal life to be seen. The public looks to the Hiking Club as the logical source of Smoky Mountains information of any or all kinds. Let's justify this confidence. 78
