Several Trails Hiking trails and there are many through the Park's 18,000 acres of forestlands include Ihe Ridge Trail which roughly parallels lhe Virginia Kentucky border from the Gap to the Park's northeastern boundary, some 19 miles in all.

Woman Executive Heads Own Advertising Agency By PEACE STERLING AP Newsfealures Writer NEW YORK (AP) a Trahey, who has mado her way up to an executive suite, admits she doesn't have a chip on her shoulder about being discriminated against in the business world. She heads ihe Trahey-Wolf Advertising company, i she founded, and was named 1970 Advertising Woman of the Year.

She also is author of the best-selling novel, "Life with Mother Superior," which became "The Trouble with Angels" in the film version. But though she herself surmounted the problems faced by women seeking to climb the ladder of success, she has been in a position to see many cases of discrimination against members of her sex. "I once worked for a cosmetics company," she recalls. "Now this is a company, thit sells exclusively to women, and there was not a single woman executive. Obviously, agencies are very male oriented.

It you can find a single female working on a soap account, I'd be very surprised, but again, soaps are sold almost entirely to women." Roof May Need Repair The roof is one area of the h'mse to which little attention is paid until trouble develops, claims Roge" Miller, Extension engineer at Ohio State University. It js generally subjected to the hardest wear of any part of the house such as b-ating rain's and sleet, strong winds, scorching sunshine, and freezing and thawing v.ilh sliding snow and ice. Visual inspection of the roof oilen revea'a that some repairs rre necessary or, that a new jof is needed. If a leak has developed, is difficult to locate lhe point of leakage from a wet spot on the ceiling. The wa- lor may follow along the roof beards or rafters before dripping down.

If the underside of 'no roof oan be seen, then it's possible you can locate where lhe water is coming in by examining it carefully on a rainy cay, suggests Miller. If this can nut be 3tme, then a close visual rspection from lhe oulside should be made -giving special allention to the areas that have flashing around chimneys, vtnls, and other vertical surfaces in the roof. Also, carefully check the flashing in valleys or depressions where two planes pf a roof join. Metal flashing can corrode or causing small holes or clacks to develop. Exposure lo year around weather conditions can Ciiuse it to become loose as well as the roof material adjacent lo it.

Flashing or roofing cement can be effectively used here plus w'rien it applies. re nailing GLOVES, PERFUMES STILL SOLD TOGETHER GRASSE, France A Florentine accompanying Catherine de Medici through Southern France in lhe i of the I6th century noted the abundance of flowers cultivated strictly for iheir beauty. He returned later to build Grasse's first flower distillery, and Gms se quickly became the world's perfume center. Grasse had long been famous for its gloves, and the glove makers added perfumed waters and oils lo their lines. To this day gloves and perfumes i sold side by side in many i French shops.

TERMITES? CAM, HAMILTON EXTERMINATING Frro lirsjicrlinn Low Cost PHONE 892-8677 A brief look at television pro grams, Miss Trahey says, pegs women pretty accurately. "In one night, I looked at whit women were doing on four channels," she says. "And on these stations were: a woman cooking, a woman sewing, a teacher and a nurse. There you have the housewives, and the two professions women are accepted in." Many of women's difficulties in the business world, Miss Trahey maintains, stem from the emotional package they receive as children. "A little boy is told that when he grows up, he'll work," she says.

"But little girls play with dolls, and al 1 their teaching is geared towards being a housewife. It's all aimed at 'how lo get your "Then, most girls who do go lo work right out of high school cr even college, really do get boring jobs, so all they can think about is 5 p.m. Naturally a girl like that marries the first man who comes along and goes to live in the suburbs. Then the whole thing is started all over." (Housework, Miss a says, makes a woman a fragmented person, because she has a lot of time, but nothing ever gets finished. "You put the wash in, then you do the dishes, then you do the cleaning," she says.

"And in a little while you have to do it all again. It's jusl bits and pieces. Meanwhile the husband has a growth pattern in his work." Miss Trahey's own work began in the morgue of the Chi cago Tribune. And from (he morgue, she turned to rehash ing old murder stories for the Canadian Pup, Sunday out-of town edition of the Tribune She left to work on her mas ters degree in philosophy, but quit school to join the advertising department of a depart ment store in Milwaukee. From there, she went to Dallas anc worked for Neiman Marcus and in 1956 she came to New York where she was advertis ing director for Kayser Co.

One year later, she started her own business. For a woman who Wants a career. Miss Trahey says, "the best advice I can give is no to take typing and shorthand A girl who's a good secretary often will find her boss can get along without her, so he won't promote her," she ex plains. "Then, she should maif people aware of her. If a posi lion that needs filling comes along, that means saying, can do that She should also position herself in a job that will give her room for advancement.

Foreign Horse Viruus On Way WASHINGTON, D. C. The American Horse Council has warned horsemen and veterinarians to watch for symptoms of a foreign virus of horses that has recently moved closer to the United States. The U. S.

Department of Agriculture says the disease, called Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VBE), has moved north from South America and Central America into Mexico where about 6,000 horses were reported killed by the disease in 1970. At the urging of the American Horse Council, animal health officials are keeping close watch on the spread of the disease so that proper action can be taken lo protect U.S. horses. In addition to Mexico, the disease has been found in Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, British and French Guiana, Surinam, 'Panama, Trinidad, Curacao, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. VEE is infectious and often fatal.
