JULY 25, 1936 THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC JULY 25, 1936 N. Carolina Forest Memorial to Joyce Kilmer TIMBER RESERVE TO HONOR FAMED POET, AUTHOR OF “TREES” Dedication of Memorial to Catholic Poet in Western N. Carolina July 30 A great tract of virgin forest, 3,800 acres in extent, in the mountains of Graham County, North Carolina, near the Tennessee line, will be dedicated July 30 by the United States govern ment to Joyce Kilmer, Catholic poet and World War hero, the dedication coming 18 years to the day he was killed in action in France. The plan to dedicate a forest to Joyce Kilmer was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Boze man Bulger Post of New York in troducing the resolution at the 1934 national convention in Louisville, Ky. The convention adopted the resolu tion and appointed as the committee Paul A. Williams of New York, chair man, the Rev. John B. Kelly, chap lain of the Catholic Writers’ Guild and Lieut. John McCloy, U. S. N., retired. The government authorized the memorial through the secretary of agriculture. Joyce Kilmer was born in New Brunswick, N. J., December 6, 1888, graduated from Rutgers and Colum bia, taught school for a year at Mor ristown, N. J., and then began his illustrious literary career, serving as an editor of the Churchman and la ter on the staff of the New York Times. Despite his early and untimely death in France, he had achieved an international reputation as a poet and essayist, “Trees” being but one of in numerable notable poems from his pen. As a young man he became a Catholic, and most of his poems and other literary work are on religious topics and on the simple things of life. The forest reservation which will be a memorial to Kilmer is consid ered the finest of its type in America. Here are great poplar trees as large as seven feet in diameter and 20 feet in circumference, towering 125 feet into the sky; magnificent hemlocks, red oaks and other majestic trees keep the poplars company. The ring of the woodman’s axe has never been heard in this forest, and it is the gov ernment’s intention that it never shall. The forest is at an elevation of 3,000 feet; nearby are towering peaks such as Stratton Bald, 5,000 feet; the inhabitants of the Kilmer Forest are for the most part Cherokee Indians, descendants of those who secreted themselves in the mountains in 1838 when the government sought to re move them to Indian Territory. The forest is adjacent to a tract of between 30,000 and 38,000 acres it is hoped the government will also ac quire. The memorial forest consti tutes the entire watershed of the Lit tle Santeelah Creek in Graham Coun ty, North Carolina, a few miles from Robinsonville; it is accessible over Federal Highway 129 from Knoxville, which joins Federal Highway No. 19 between Atlanta and Asheville at Topton. A short spur road will be built through a portion of the Chero kee Reservation to make the area more accessible, Joseph C. Kircher, of Atlanta, Southern regional forester, announces. Many of the trees in the forest are hundreds of years old, and wild life abounds; there are deer, bear, golden eagles, cliff ravens and wild Russian hogs; th wild Russian hogs are de scendants of hogs which escaped from a game preserve on Hooper’s Bald in 1912. There is a variety of oth er game and it is planned to make the forest a game as well as timber reserve.

B., who has been transferred to the faculty of Benedictine School, Sa vannah. Father Cuthbert is admirably qual ified to be an executive.

He was born at Man chester in 1906, he attended the local schools, did his higher academic work at St. Anselm College, and was sent by the Abbot-Ordinary of Bel mont to Saint Vincent Archabbey in 1926. He made his novitiate there and was professed as a Benedictine in 1927. In September of that same year he joined the staff of Belmont Abbey College as a Prefect of Dis cipline.
