Brady's
BLARNEY
By A Brady Called J. P.
The wife is currently on a
casserole kick at our house.
Anything that will support
cheese on its top soon finds it
self in the dish and cooking in
the oven.
Nothing, not even week-old left
overs, ip safe.
"What gives with this casserole
kick?" I ventured at the table
the other night, after fighting
off the urge through about four
casserole meals in a row.
"You mean the 'budget kick'," j
she replied haughtily. "If you'd
make enough to feed us I would
n't have to use my ingenuity. . .
"Ingenuity!"
"Yes, ingenuity," she continued
as if I hadn't even spoken. "Cas
eroles are nourishing, filling, and
very economical. . .
"So is garbage . .
". . . and they're easy to tlx
on these hot days," she concluded.
"I'll say easy to fix. Looks to
me like you Just empty the relrig- 1
I erator and then cover the mess j
with cheese."
"Well," she said angrily, "you !
seem to be thriving on them from I
the looks of that layer of fat |
hanging over your belt."
"That was a very unkind re- 1
mark and you've cut me to the j
quick," I fought back feebly, "and
that's not fat, it's undeveloped
muscle!"
She drove the barb home: "Why I
don't you admit you've got a j
spare tire around your middle and
let it go at that."
"If it was spare you'd have it
trimmed off and in a casserole
dish topped with cheese," was my
triumphant rejoinder.
"Not a bad idea," she decided
menacingly, poking her knife to
ward my midriff, "but lard like
that lends itself more to tomato j
sauce than cheese."
"I think I'll have some more |

I keep hearing tnrough "the
grapevine" that folks are finding
some good rubies at the Cowee
Ruby Mines.
Carrol Gibson relayed a mess
age the other day that a young
girl, Nancy McGinnes, found a
pigeon blood of about 35 carats
in the rough. She's from Chester- j
town, Md.
Proof that the mines are a top
drawing card is the fact that
there are many "repeaters" a
mong the hundreds digging for
the stones. One family, we hear,
has been 'down here at three diff
erent times.
There's been some gripping on
the part of visitors that they're
being sold stones that aren't
worth anything by young boys
hanging around the diggings.
My only comment to this is to
paraphrase Branum's classic state- ,
ment, "There's one born every
minute." Anyone unfamiliar with
stones should have more sense |
than to buy the proverbial "pig
in a poke."
I'd like to add, too, that to my
knowledge, none of the mine
owners are guilty of this de
ception.

Ranger Bill Nothstein was tell
ing me the other day about a
"monster" brown trout that waged
a 70 minute battle with an angler
and won.
This action between the fisher
man and the trout 'the ranger
said it was more than two feet i
long) took place in the Nantahala I
River at Calloway Stand in the 1
Standing Indian area.
A light leader and equipment
prevented the angler from taking
much starch out of the trout and
the fish finally went to the bot
tom to rest.
The fisherman <a man from
Waynesville ? he didn't recall the
name) in desperation decided to
wade into the hole and get it.
Pate, however, was on the side
of the trout. The fisherman got
the leader tangled In his boot
and It broke.
The ranger is sure, though, that
the man will be back for a re
turn engagement.

My thanks to J. W. Gustaw
for a good laugh.
Mr. Gustaw, of Long Island.
N. Y., sent me a clip from a New
York paper of an outhouse with
a TV aerial.
The outlines under the pic,
?which, incidentally was taken in
North Wilkesboro, noted that
". . . some people wouldn't miss
their favorite TV programs for
anything."

Hear that Gatlingburg, over in
our neighboring state of Tenn
essee, is cashing in on the ruby
mines here.
In recent weeks I've heard that
Mrs. Picklesimer
Succumbs Sunday
In Washington
News has been received by rela
tives of Mrs. S. B. Picklesimer of
her death in a hospital in Gold
bar, Wash., on Sunday.
Mrs. Picklesimer, daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Dilly Jores.
of Macon County, went to Wash- 1
ington last spring to live with her j
brother. Sam Jones.
Funeral services will be con
ducted at Dryman's Chape: here, |
but the date and hour of the fu
neral have not been announced,
pending the arrival of the body

Hiker Discovers
Nantahalas
A1 Moore, hiking director at
Camp Mondamin, near Henderson
ville, finds the Nantahala Moun
tains the most beautiful he has
ever seen, and the view from Al
bert Mountain the finest in the
Nantahalas, he said Tuesday.
Mr. Moore, who is a nephew of ;
Frank A. Starrette, of Franklin,
was hiking with fi group of b'.ys
from Dick's Gap, Ga? to Wesser
Creek. The group camped at White
Oak Bottoms, ran out of bread,
and Mr. Moore came Into town for
supplies.
He makes his home in New Or
leans. where he teaches in the
Metairie Park Country Dav
School.
Bethel Community
Slates Meet Tonight
The Bethel Rural Community
Development Organization will
meet tonight (Thursday' at 7:30
at the Bethel Methodist Church.
This is the regular monthly
meeting, which was postponed
last week because of the revival.
All members are requested to
be present because of Important
business.
Gatlingburg motel operators are
telling visitors that Franklin
doesn't have any accomodations,
with the result that they're pre
registering visitors 'paid in ad
vance. of course), who are then
forced to return to Gatlinburg
for the night after a day at the
| ruby mines.
"Isn't there something we can
do to stop that?" I've been asked.
| Well, yes and no.
In the first place, all's fair in
| love, war, and tourists ? and we've
got to admit that those in Gatlin
burg are using their noggins to
j keep business.
The job of counteracting this
I kind of thing, however, could turn
; into a big one. Appears to me that
| the only way to lick 'em is to
1 flood the tourist byways with
more and more literature on the
ruby mines and drift out of the
situation in a natural way.
Baptist Bible Class
