THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1946 Our Community 1 Playground To Re-open Soon 1 0 I At the insistance of many moth ers the playground will be re- , thers the playground will be re- t opened this summer, provided the interest of enough mothers is evi dent. According to many, the need f seems to be great. Requests have been coming in for over three months. ] A larger organization and . greater community interest will , be necessary for support as they j cannot be carried on properly ] without an assistant supervisor \ also this is only fair to the super- . visor for otherwise she will be too handicapped, as in the past, ( to carry out all plans. | All mothers interested in hav ing their children under super vision, with organized recreation, play, rest, and story-hours please communicate with Mrs. Sharp im mediately. The time is short. The grounds will have to be cleared and put into shape, a tent put up for use during our inevit able rains, the supervisor and assistant engaged and other busi ness attended to at once. The amount to be paid per fam ily per season will only be SIO.OO for the season, in advance. This payment in advance is very important as we must have the funds in hand before resuming actitivities. All progressive communities have playgrounds, and Black Mountain should have one too. Our children need companionship of the same age, group games and other activities to develope their latent possibilities, to broaden even at this early age, their in terest, their sympathy, their un derstanding. When we older ones were children, we had big yards to play in, swings trees to climb romping games, jumping rope etc. May we not give our children the the same opportunity. Mr. Ernest White has again given us the lot next to the Methodist Parsonage. Game Refuge To Be Open To Anglers 0 The game refuge in the Mount Mitchell area in Yancey and Mc- Dowell counties will be open to anglers on certain special dates, according to information receiv ed from the N. C Division of Game and Inland Fisheries.

Neal’s Creek a tributary of South Toe River, is open to women only, the announcement stated. WILL CLOSE DEER SEASON IN W.N.C. 0 John D. Findlay commisioner of game and inland fisheries, said today that western counties of the state would be closed to deer hunt ing next season while deer trap ping and redistribution are ex pected. His decision was endorsed by the state board of conservation and developement. Since Piedmont counties have been closed to deer hunting for the last several years this action indicates that there will be no deer hunting next year in and west of a line composed of Warren, Nash, Edgecombe. Wilson. Greene. Wavne Johnson, Wake, Chatham, Ran dolph, Montgomery, Richmond and Scotland counties. F'ndlay’s does not con template moving deer from West ern to Eastern North Carolina, he said. The overall program in set up to cover five years but that ' doi S not mean any particular area wilN be closed to deer hunters all 1 that' time- “KEY CITY IN THE LAND OF THE SKY” Rev. L. B.

At present we are scattered in four buildings. A music building would give us convenient studios in which the teachers could carry out their ideas of teaching also, being in the same building, they could more easily consult each other in matters of general interest and concern. It would give us better practice rooms, would be sound proof so that pupils could concentrate and not be disturbed by some one practicing in the next room. The rooms would be attractive used only by the music pupils, and fixed up to please the eye as ; well as the ear. There would be a sufficient number of rooms to have everyone’s practice scheduled and a room reserved for each pupil at this scheduled time. In this music building would be a small recital hall that would would be used without interrup tions and as frequently as desired, small groups enjoying music to gether. In Montreat we have many op portunities of seeing the beautiful. We should also have many op portunities of hearing the beauti ful. It is most fitting that this building should be called the Adams Music Building. Mr. and Mrs. Adams have always helped us to appreciate the beautiful in nature and music. With a build ing bearing their name the college would be inspired to carry on their high standards of music and living. * Their name would make the building well known all over our country and many would come to see it because of the deep appreciation they have for Mr. and Mrs. Adams and what they have done for the uplift of beau tiful music- Tourists Cabins To Be Built By The Cherokees o The Cherokee Indians have de cided to capitalize on the travel trade by setting up modern tour ist cabins. Joe Jennings acting superintendent of the Qualla re servation said today. The tribe has applied to the government for a $150,000 loan to build 20 cottages for tourists in a section of the reservation lo cated adjacent to the Great Smo ky Mountains National Park. Plans also are under way, Jen nings said, to produce genuine souveniers—baskets, pottery, and beadwork— for sale to visitors. E. N. HOWELL GOING TO MEET NCE A GROUP 0 E. N.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOfJOOOO SOC SEND IN YOUR NEWS Member North Caroling Press Association $2.00 Per Year Roy A. Taylor, Black Mountain Attorney, was nominated in last Saturday’s democratic primary as one of Buncombe county’s three representatives in the State Legi slature. In this race, Mr. Taylor, running on the G.I. ticket, polled 11,557 votes. In second place was George A. Shufford, Asheville at torney, with 9,781 votes and Henry C- Fisher, another Asheville at torney and a G. 1., was third with 8,794 votes. The defeated candi dates in the Legislative race were George Craig, E. L. Loftin, and William M. Styles. Mr. Taylor is well known throughout the various sections of this county and his support was widely distributed, as was shown by his securing more votes than any opposing canidate in more than forty of the county’s fifty three precincts. The G- I. Ticket,advocating clean politics, progressive government and a need for a change, emerged victorious over the democratic or ganization which was divided throughout the campaign. The greatest surprise came in the race for State senator, when Frank Parker, Asheville attorney and son of the late Haywood Par ker,with 9,621 votes, defeated Brandon P. Hodges, incumbant, with 8,443. William K- McLean rolled up a total of 10,932 votes in the race for nomination of solicitor of the 19th. Judicial Dis trict, comprising Buncombe and Madison Counties, while his oppo nent, James S. Howell, incumbent was gamering 8,856 votes. In a close race Coke Candler, N.C. a G I. and former athelitic director of the American Enka corporation, defeated J. A. Richburg incumbent for chairman of the board of coun ty Commissioners. In the spirited race for nomina tion of a representative from the 12th Congressional Distr ic t, Monroe M. Reddon of Henderson ville, ran ahead of the incumbent Zebulon Weaver, of Asheville. Mr. Taylor has issued the follow ing statement: “I would like to thank publicly, the many citizens of Black Mountain and Buncombe County who supported my candi dancy, and that of my G I. comrades It is my desire that we can fully justify this confidence, I do regret, however, that some of our local political opponents saw fit to in voke into the election, the con tested issue of extending the city limits of Black Mountain. Why, I do not know, as I had not approached for any commitment on the subject nor expressed a<jr intention of introducing such a bill. In an effort to remove any ex isting confusion, my position is that such a matter should be de termined by the will of a majority of the people effected. I would be forced to oppose any measure deal ing with the subject, which does not give every citizen in the terri tory to be included, a right to vote for, or against the extension. That is democracy. The main pur pose of this G. I. movement is to end political dictatorship and ma chine politics in Buncombe Coun ty, and to return the reins of government to the people. Mrs. M. Z. Thomas Died Saturday In Asheville 0 Mrs. M. Z. Thomas, 89, of Vance avenue, Black Mountain, died in an Asheville hospital Sat urday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock following an illness of several months.
