THUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1953 THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES, BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA PAGE SEVEN From A Reporter’s Notebook By FRANCES WALKER I always figured that fishing T?as just an excuse to get away from the little woman, but a drive through Pisgah Sunday afternoon ^ould have refuted any since false idea. Of course, it may have heen that Sunday was such a gorgeous spring day the fisher men couldn’t get away from the little woman. Every bench was filled with picnickers, and most «f them were fishermen’s famil ies. The men with their hip length boots and fishing regalia could be seen all along the way «ating picnic style with wives and families. At one spot we no ticed a large Cadillac parked on the side of the road with a wom an inside it reading a book. Im mediately below was a man cast ing. Spring moves slowly but surely up the mountain. And if one did not consciously watch the change in a drive up to Wagon Road Gap, they would be entirely ignorant of the fantastic difference in a couple of thousand feet altitude. Hospit able Mr. Kirschner, at Pisgah Inn, told us that up on top (Wagon Road Gap, Parkway, Mt. Pisgah) they were about a month behind us here in the valley. It was completely bar ren up there, but the oaks just barely beginning to bud. He said that the Pink Beds could be called HURRY TO BELK’S BIG 88c DAYS FOR THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY Just a Few of the many values you’ll save and save plenty on.

Report on work at John’s Rock Boy Scout camp and also for the area set aside in Camp Harry Straus by Ecusta for overnight and day-camping will be made by the boys’ and girls’ committee. the middle, so to speak, being about two weeks ahead of him and two weeks behind us. The dogwood was not even beginning to peep through up there. Mr. Kirschner did show us a view of Mt. Pisgah that is un surpassed. A trail leading about 50 feet from the Inn gives a pano ramie view of Pisgah, only a short distance away with Laurel Flats in the foreground. Laurel Flats is one solid bed of laurel with a few state ly balsams interspersed. Pisgah with its nearly perfect peak over shadowing this natural garden is indeed a breathtaking sight. The Transylvania Times stands for progress in all its many as pects; but unbeknowingst to ns, we seem to be hampering the work of the Bookmobile up at Sapphire. Ruth Barnard, county librarian, is working out a new Bookmobile schedule in order that more persons can have the advantages of this free service. She was contemplating a trip to Sapphire once a month and top ped to inquire from a native in habitant what his views on the subject were. *‘Not in favor of it at all,” was his positive reply. Ex plaining further, “We take the Transylvania Times and my wife spends too much time now read ing that.” Brevard’s hospitality seems to be gaining in momentum. I hadn’t re alized that the chamber of com merce’s project of entertaining out- of-state couples would pay off so soon. But here’s the story. Chief of Police Corpening was directing traffic at the school the other after noon when a car stopped to inquire about a local tourist court. After re ceiving his directions, he grinned and said, “Wish you’d arrest me like you did my friends.” The chief was a little taken aback and asked him what he meant. “The Posts, from Nyack, New York, that you stopped here to entertain a couple of week ago are friends of mine, and they’re still raving about what a good time they had. Just thought you might want to offer me some of that same hospitality,” was the ex planation that caused the chief to drop his mouth in amazement. Of ten it is hard to determine just how effective something like this is, but when positive proof of its effects come along such as this it is more than gratifying to all who have worked toward putting Brevard on the map. Uncle Sam’s mails always get through seems to still be true a century after the pony express. A publicity release from the de partment of the army, Fort Til- den, N. Y., was addressed to “The Pennsylvania Times, Bal sam Grove, North Carolina.” But somehow it managed to get in The Times’ box here in Brevard, where it belonged. Seems that German measles are making the rounds in the schools, and this mild epidemic brings to mind a joke: Mrs. Brown was complaining to her doctor that the bill was unrea sonable. “Don’t forget,” he reminded her, “that I made 11 visits to your home when Johnny had the measles.” “And don’t you forget,” she countered, “that he infected the whole third grade.” PICK OF THE (Continued From Page Two) We were impressed with his ap parent sincerity and seriousness of purpose. We believe that he is a man of integrity and has deep interest in moral and spiritual val ues. We hope that he gets the support which he needs as presi dent of this great country. The morning we saw him he did not seem to be as happy and jovial as he is usually pictured. It must be that the burdens of his office are weighing upon him already. He is undoubtedly taking his immense job seriously and is working hard He deserves the prayers and sup port of the entire country for ideals and standards and the wor thy program which he is holding before, himself and the country, “I must be getting stronger.” “How can you tell?” “Well, a few years ago I couldn’t carry $5.00 worth of groceries and now it’s easy.” TRY TIMES WANT ADS NATIONAL BABY WEEK APRIL 26th to MAY 2nd BABY ITEMS Clapp’s or Gerber’s Strained BABY FOOD 3iars29^ MEATS FOR BABIES 22^ STRAINED OAT MEAL PABLUM FOR BABIES PET OR CARNATION MILK tai.ca„14^ EVENFLO NURSERY BOTTLE POTATOES'"”’""*"™ 5.b..29(( WINESAPAPPLES 2,b..33^ YEILOWSQUASH'’""*"”'”'' Mb..23fi YELLOW ONIONS.b.5(f FANCY CUCUMBERS.,b..25^ FRESHTENDERPOLEBEANS ..b.31f‘ Firm Selected TOMATOES Carton 18c Large Juicy Florida ORANGES 8-Lb.
