STRICTLY IN ADVANCE 3 ■■fr— 1 -fr'" - A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY MERCHANTS TO KEEP PRICES DOWN HERE Now that the OP A is a thing of the past, persons in this community and surrounding towns are wonder ing if their pay will be sufficient to cover the possible rise of prices. According to the merchants with whom a representative of the News has talked we do not have to worry much about prices in Black Mountain. The store keepers here intend to do all within their power to keep the cost of living down as far as possible- Several dealers have stated that they will not increase their prices unless the price to them has been increas ed. We can not expect the merchants to sell their merchandise at the same prices to us if they have to pay more to the wholesale dealer. ’ The retail dealer is entitled to a fair profit on his sales. This attitude is an admirable one and will help a great deal in the upbuilding of the Town of Black Mountain. It was not necessary to talk the merchants into giving this opinion. In fact the attention of the News was called to this policy by several store keepers- There have been a few dealers here that have not been making a fair share of profit on their sales due to some peculiarity in the OPA price schedule. They have had to sell a few items at very low profit margin. On these items the dealers have stated that they in tend to slightly increase prices on these items in order that they may make a fair profit on their sales. The Mews congratulates the merchants of Black Mountain for this very patriotic attitude of “holding the line*' on prices. We hope that it will not be just talk. In order to have this policy successful ALL of the stores will need to cooperate. If one starts to get out of line slightly it will encourage someone else to do the same and there will be higher living costs. Black Mountain To Have Horse Show , 0 It ia possible that there will be a horse show in Black Mountain during the summer. This is ex pected to be held in August but the date and the place have as yet not been determined. It will be necessary to have some horses that are trained for use in such an occasion in order to have a suc cessful showing. This show is being planned by J. L. Bowers for the near future. It may be that the show will be ' ■M.pv ■ • •• -™ • . . V. ®pfe *sgp. tissußL NEW JAPANESE CABINET . . .

The most jolting events some people know are the disturbances that sometimes arise. These are those who feel that the greatest failure that one can make is to cause a disturbance. To be sure, the thoughtless person who disturbs because he is rude or anti-social is to be condemed but that is not the kind of distur bance we refer to now. The kind of activity that searches out and undermines the weaknesses in the (status quo) is certainly an up setting experience- There are many who much prefer to see life go on in its same old patterns and fight bitterly anyone who may seem to upset things as they are. For instance, the enemies of Jesus Christ were far more upset by the healing of the sick man than they were by his illness. The substantial people of the com munity were much more disturbed by the cleansing of the Temple than by the corruption in the ec onomic system. One of the great condemnations of Jesus was that He stirred up the people. Those who try to live by the teachings of Jesus today will find that there are some who become greatly disturbed by their preach ing and living of the teachings of Jesus. Many who fight change never lose any sleep over the cor ruption in our personal and so cial living. Are you disturbed over a disturbance? Or are you one of the followers of him who disturbed evil wherever i£ was found ? , tfßißniitiainijaHinHiiiiaißnnaii Our Short Sermon MUMHOTIHUBniIMUBiIIHIUHIIiniUBniIMI o The spirit of man has never tol erated bondage for very long, for man is bom to be free. Through the ages man has battled for freedom from oppression, from fear, from lack; he has pioneered new lands where he could have freedom of thought and speech and worship. The greatest freedom of all however is the inner freedom, the the inner victory over conflict in ourselves, without which we do not know freedom even in the land of the free. You can realize inner freedom by realizing your spiritual identity. If you have bound in any way, by any condition, by any emotional conflict or fugitive fear, set your self free now by unifying your self with the Christ Spirit, which is you, and say with divine authority. “I am now free.” Nothing can bind THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS you or hold you back when you acknowletdjge ypur freedom in Christ. His is the free spirit of life that knows no bondage or limita tion. Through His light within you you are forever free. And God said , Let there be light and there was light. From the very beginning this light of God has shown clearly, a beacon to illu mine our path and to make our way clear. Darkness and confusion al ways dissapear when we turn with in to God indwelling and rely on His help and guidance. Divine wis dom always reveales to us just what step to take at just the right time. At the beginning of this new day become still and say, “Let there be light,” then place yourself, your loved ones, and all your affairs under the wise and loving direction of God. Clear your mind of all thoughts of anxiety and doubt and know that God is illumining your whole life. Know that you have full and free access to a higher wisdom than your own when you have a decision to make.

The veterens, claiming Service men’s Readjustment Allowances for unemployment, must first ap ply for jobs. They must be able to work, available for work and will ing to take any suitable job offered them, except that, under the G. I. Bill of Rights, if a veteran is able to work when he files his first claim, but illiness or other disa bility prevents his weekly report ing to the local USES office in person, he may delegate a repre sentative to file later claims for him. On a state-wide basis, it is found that just about one veteran out of every four inducted into the ser vice had filed claims for service men’s Readjustment Allowance by the end of May, and also, on a state-wide basis, it is revealed that considerably more than an average of two inductees came from non agricultural activities for every one inducted from agriculture- Early this year, 351,146 had been inducted into the armed forces from North Carolina, an estimated 105,185 coming from agriculture and 245,961 from non-agricultural activities.
