The study, "an economic gazeteer of the south," was prepared by the First Research Corporation of Miami for the Southern Association of Science and Industry. The study covers West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Bank deposits in the south increased by 67 per cent to jump from one-tenth of the national total to 11.1 per cent. Retail sales rose from 15.9 per cent of the national total to 17.5 per cent, growing in the south by 71 per cent compared to the slower 56 per cent growth over the nation. But in individual states the figures were not all positive.

Overly issued a warning to hikers visiting the park this early in the spring to watch for icy spots on the trails and ramps to the observations tower at Dome, where freezing temperatures are still occurring during the nights. Overly said Saturday that walks and drives along trails and roads at low elevations in the park will reveal a large number of wildflowers in bloom.
