Daniel 12:1 From Pearl Harbor to V J Day our newspapers have kept you the h es t informed people of the world because your free press performed best informed people of the world because you free press performed the greatest reportial job in the history of mankind. You read not only the factual news stories but the interpretations by well known columnists, experts and editorial writers—fearless interpretations of what each new step—either military or diplomatic meant to the security of the world. Now that it is all over, we must look ahead to our peace time world and like the symbolic torch leading us on into the future will be the freest press in the world—Our newspapers continuing to present the news to us exactly as it is happening. We may well say to our news paper men, ‘‘Well Done!” and “Lead On!” COMMUNITY WAR FUND Disease, hunger and want walk in the wake of war. We can help defeat these last enemies of Peace by supporting the agencies of the National War Fund. Take over where our fighting men stopped- gwe generously—for our own-for our Allies-to our community War Fund. BLACK MOUNTAIN AIRPORT The future Black Mountain of tomorow will be a beehive of going to and fro. • People will be flying here from all parts of the South to enjoy the : r summers and spend their vacations here. Thousands of people visit Black Mountain each year and since the travel restriction have been lifted many more will come from * ssr uv m year to year. It is surprising, how many small planes, personally owned that are now being used. ek " m The day is here when people no farther away than Asheville, Marion, Hendersonville and Marshall, will even come to visit relatives and friends here in Black Mountain and people here will make short flights and visits and business to various places. You will see the business man that lives 350 to 500 miles away; will come here to spend the summer possibly own his Summer home here, and make week end trips back and forth. Th manufacturers of the Small planes of today are taking advan tage of the surplus money that is in circulation at the present time, and are charging enormous prices for planes where before the war were selling the same plane for §IOOO.OO less than they are (/(•!.■ nv. 0 These planes will be no more expensive than a medium priced car : ii the near future. They will be durable, beautiful and most of all I praeticle. How mahy people in Black Mountain can remember when the first sedan came out, with glass doors; what was the many remarks made about its safety. We said, “you couldn’t get me to ride in one of those,” what if it were to “blow up”. That glass would cut your head off. Many people today fee! the same about an airplane, “What if you were to run out of gas?” Its a long way to the ground,” they’re dangerous. These •ire the things that the older generation think and believe, the young er generation have flown planes, have studied them and contributed many new ideas that manufacturers have adopted. Tne City of Black Moutain will grow rapidly in the next few years, new homes, business buildings, industry of all kinds will spring up here in the very near future. A few good level headed people of our town can speak the word and put action into their ideas and make our city one of the finest j little cities in the state, we have the facilities, we have good people, we have the foundation to build it on. it is firm, tried and true. Each business man in the town can reap the benefit of more business where it is built upon so solid a foundation. Lets look forward to a better city, a more beautiful city of beautiful homes, well laid out, and enjoy the fellowship of each other as friends and neigh bors.

HOES FROM 'CsAyC. MOUNTAINS^ H. Grady Hardin One reason why life is difficult for us and for our nation is that we are not good enough to live in peace with all men, nor bad enough to kill all our enemies. Such a “half-way” position is impossible to maintain. There are those who would recommend getting so "tough” that we could live in a savage world the acknowledged masters. That is hardly possible for we would be so completely out numbered that we would lie dest royed by our own brute forces. Tt seems that the only choice from a practical as well as normal stand point is to become better, in a recent book by C. S. Lewis called Beyond Personality he puts the same truth this way: "It may he hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We’re all like eggs at present. And yon can’t go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We .must be hatched or go bad.” So the choice is before us as individuals and as a nation:either we iprove enough in our moral fibre and our actions to live with all men. or we will lie destroyed! We can become “new creatures” in Jesus Christ or we rot in the hell of our own folly. DEAR MR. EDITOR: I write this in memory of a precious jewel that has gone to heaven. David Norman Wilson, five month old son of Mr. asd Mrs. James N. Wilson of Swannanoa, died in an Asheville hospital Fri day morning at 1:00 o’clock.

James Norman came to Sunday school four or five times. When he was 3 weeks old, he was in Sunday school. His mother was saving all of his Sunday school cards so he could in later years look back and see what he had re ceived at church. The funeral was held October 6. at Christian Creek Baptist Church. The house was full and people stood up. Rev. Troy Lun ford officiated. The flowers were beautiful. The pallbears were: Vestal Stuckland, James Allen, Joe White and Clarence Suttles.

Swannanoa BATTLE TO TIE The Dark horses of Black Moun tain High School and the Warriors of Swannanoa High School both undeafted teams battled to a 6- 6 tie on the Swannanoa field, Fri day, October 5. The game was played on wet field that held the offensive ef forts of both teams somewhat in check. Neither team made a serious threat until near the end of the third quarter when Swannanoa ca pitlized on some good running and passing to unleash a touch down threat. Rainwater dashed around end for what was appea rently a score only to have it cal led back for stepping out of bounds. Swannanoa, however, was not to be denied. When the ends of the field were changed at the begin ning of the fourth quarter, Swan-' nanoa scored on a dash by Rain- j water. This score seemed to shake some life into the previously: lethargic Black Mountain team that promptly marched 60 yards to tie the score .Thismarch was featured by the line plunging of Reese, and the end runs of Wing and Turner. Swannanoa put on a determined goal line stand, but Willis finally ploughed through the line for the score. Swannanoa’s attempt for the extra point was a place kick that fell short, while Black Mountain fumbled on an at tempted plunge for the point. ; sides. Black Mtn.
