C (U.R In the shadows of the Western Hemis phere's romantic Great Smoky mountains, the descendants of the once-mighty Cherokee nation are painstakingly erecting an ex act replica of an ancestral vil lage. It will be inspected this sum mer by thousands of visitors from all over the country who will attend the famed historical drama of the tribe's removal to the west. As did their forebears, the dark-eyed Cherokees will call their village Oconaluftee By the River. When it is complete it will contain a council house, wigwams and log houses inside the 1600 logs of its palisade. When they have finished their labor, the Cherokees will con tinue to stand by silently as they watch audiences, expected to outnumber the total attracted by the other three full-season out door dramas in the United States, crowd in to see "Unto These Hills." Some In Pageant - A few of them may appear In the cast before the audiences which for the past two seasons have necessitated a permanent standing-room-only sign on the box office. Last year the tribe's Eastern Band, as the North Carolina remnant is called, saw more than 150,000 people make their way into seats in the natural amphi theater nestled in the side of the Great Smoky mountains. They came to see the story of a people who invented their own alphabet, set up printing presses and elected a government which sent ambassadors to Washington only to find themselves living on the site of the first major gold strike In what is now the United States. The music, dances and brief decline. A rally in the last hour, however, shaved losses consider ably. Declines on the day ranged to around a point.

Standing-room tickets were sold every night of its tnree-month run. Last year the spectacle swelled its attendance to 151.744. The audiences included visitors from every state in the Union and Canada. To the subjects of the drama it is not strange that the story and the Great Smokies should prove such a lure.

Hansen, pathologists of the University of California college of agriculture. The two Identified a pine-in festing fungus In the eastern Un ited States which increases the rosin flow of certain pines. Al though the process is not in com mercial use yet, It Is a potenial method for boosting production of rosin for making turpentine, paints, varnishes, and plastics. Ergot, a fungus disease grow ing' in rye kernels, is widely used to prevent hemorrhage, Pecky cedar, often used in homes for decorative panelling, is the result of another disease.

Sure Thing Perfected For Capturing Snakes Matador, Tex. U.R) Two Ma tador men have perfected a sure thing for capturing snakes. They have the proof in 79 rattlesnakes so far this year. Their system is simple. They use a long iron rod, some old rags and a can of gasoline. The soaked rags are set afire and forced into the snake den. The heat and the fumes force the snakes out. Bill Slover and Homer Starkey killed or captured 68 rattlers from one den on the Gerald Way bourn ranch 12 miles northeast of Matador. They brought back alive six of the largest rattlers. Slover and Starkey use a fork ed stick when they want to cap ture a rattle alive but generally they kill them on the spot. Rat tlers, they say, often kill live stock by their poisonous bites.
