Lumber and building material dealers and con tractors can build all the homes America needs—if building materials are available. But unless produc tion of materials is unblocked, no one can build homes. Whether a house is labeled “Public Housing” or “Prefabricated Housing’ or a “Privately Built Home” —all are bidding for the same supply of ma terials. What has happened that all these essential build ing materials are lacking? Have we exhausted raw material supply? Or plant production? No! But the irresistible force of industry has run into an immoveable body! It is still more profitable for the lumber mill to cut items for export to foreign countries, or to cut logs into sizes used by industry than it is to manu facture lumber for home construction. Premium prices for industrial items have been granted in some instances during the war, but now that peace has come, price adjustments encouraging home construc tion lumber have not been made by OPA. Price adjustments are needed to obtain maximum production of hardwood flooring, millwork, ceiling, siding, and plywood. » Recommendations have been made to the OPA repeatedly, but action is not forthcoming. The Building Industry stands ready to build the homes Americans need. But until the production and flow of materials is unblocked by OPA, thousands upon thousands of homes for Americans and vet erans will go unbuilt! FIRST BAPTIST „ .

The author is, so far as I know, unknown. Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree And talked of things that were to be. Said one to the others, “See here, you two, There’s a rumor afloat that can’t be true, That man descended from our lofty race— To think of such is a great dis grace. No monkey ever beat his wife or Starved her child or spoiled her life. And you’ll never know a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk; Or pass them on from one to an other ’Till they scarcely know who is their mother. And another thing you’ll never see, A monk build a fence ’round a coconut tree And let all the coconuts go to waste Forbidding all other monks a taste. Why, if I build a fence ’round this coconut tree Starvation would force you to steal from me. There’s another thing a monkey won’t do. Go out at night and gelt in a stew, Then use a gun, a club, or a knife To take another monkey’s life. Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss, But brothers, he didn’t descend from us!” Our Short Sermon Today we want ,to think about one of the best known passages of scripture in all the Bible. So often the passages that we have learned from childhood; we have failed to discover the depths of their meanings. In the sixth chapter and nineth verse of Matthews we have the be ginning of what is known as the Lord’s prayer. We want to think on the salvation of this prayer. Jesus said, “after this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. The world had never known God as Father until the coming of His Son. Jesus introduced God to man as Father, and in teaching his deciples to pray he wanted them to call God Father. The Jews had known God for many generations. They knew him as Jehovah, the God of wrath as well as the God of love, the God of fire and the God of peace, but not until the coming of Jesus had they thought of God as a father. When we think of father our minds turn back to childhood days when our earthly fathers provided us with the necessities of life. We saw in our father love, kindness, gentleness, and a father who cared for us as children. Jesus wants us to see in God all of this and even more. He wants us to respect the name of God because he has asked us to keep holy His name. When we think of God may we think of him as Father, and as a Holy one, who is gentle, kind and loving ready to help when we cry unto Him as our Father. Mack M. Summey 1 Oteen, N. C. Life-Saving Spiders A spider web of wire helped save the lives of thousands of men adrift at sea In lifeboats during the war. The web was a radar device which weighed slightly more than a pound and which reflected the radar sig nals sent out by planes or ships. The reflections showed up as pin points of light on the search craft’s radar scope, indicating the raft’s position. THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS .> MM -- s - v • ~ v --• SURVIVES MIGHTY ATOM . . .

Town Officials And Civic Leaders Endorse Colored Citizens Recreational Program We the undersigned, as citizens of Black Mountain Township, heartily endorse the efforts of our colored citizens to provide a Rec reational and Community center for their people, and pledge them our whole hearted support. Our colored citizens did not come seeking help but some of our public spirited citizens realiz ing their need and being impres sed with their earnestness and zeal, offered to enlist some public cooperatioa. One of our generous citizens agreed to contribute SSOO. provided the colored citizens would raise $500.00 from their own people and a like amount from the white citizens. This fund of $1500.00 supplemented by the work already done and to be done by the colored members, will pro vide recreational facilities for the entire colored community, a play ground for the children, an athlet ic field for the youth and adults, and a community center where groups may meet for movies and other forms of entertainment. At present the colored people have no such privileges. These facili ties will also put at their disposal the services of various agencies hitherto denied them. They already have property' ad jacent to their churches and school which is well adapted to the development of such a com munity center. Once the center is established the colored citizens will carry on with such assistance and direction as they may need from a well chosen committee of white citizens. Already one white citizens has assisted in the organi zation of a play ground and pre school for the young children and will continue to direct such activi ties with a member of the colored group as supervisor. As soon as the colored citizens have completed the campaign Dance Treatments Many crippled people can dance easily and smoothly even though they walk with a decided limp. Dancing is being used in treating disabled veterans as well as people suffering from mental shock. Trace Malayan Ancestry Roots of the Malayan peoples are traced to the neighboring Island of Sumatra, but racial strains have been complicated by Chinese, Arab and East Indian Mood. Chief Ma layan occupations are tanning and fishing. Major crops are rubber and rice. Minor crops have includ ed coconuts, pineapples, coffee, tea and bananas. “Horsepower” to do heavy hauling and tin rice fields Is contributed by the water buffalo. Among old arts and crafts are pot tery manufacture, weaving, lace making, wood carving, basketry, and metalworking. among their own people they will begin a canvass among their white friends. While $500.00 is the min imum amount to be contributed by the white citizens in order to se cure the conditional gift of $500.; an additional $500.00 could be used to great advantage. So it is hoped that the response will be liberal on the part of each one approached. A lift to our colored neighbors now will help them secure privi leges which they rightly deserve and should inspire them to greater effort and better citizenship. Signed: J. L. Potter, J. C.

Beaten he is, but not to stay Down with the rank and file; That man will win some other day, Who loses with a smile. By Louise Craig. —: IN PLACE OF MOTHER o One wet day when it rained and rained, Mother went shopping and was detained. Some callers came. It was up to me to entertain her company. I felt quite proud I must confess, So I went up stairs and changed my dress; I very deliberately powdered my nose And practiced my most assuming pose. With confidence I descended the stairs, And entered the room with my grown-up-airs. For goodness sake! They had all gone away! I had quite forgotten to ask them to stay. By Louise Craig- THE TRADGEDY OF A LITTLE COOK “With eager hands I measured, And beat, and stirred so hard To make the eggs all frothy, And mix flour up with lard. Dad’s favorite pie was pumpkin, So a golden, spicy pie Was ready for his luncheon. Placed to catch his eye. The lovely pie was cut, friends. Excuse me if I halt! I’d put into my pie, folks, Not sugar, but—plain salt. By Louise Craig. —: FISHIN o I love to go a fishin In the silent summer balm, When the breeze is cool and soothing, And the lake is still and calm. I love to sit and watch the cork, As the fish begins to bite, And I love to feel the happy thrill, As the fish comes up in sight. I love to sit in a rocking boat, As the evening shadows fall. To try my luck with the wary fish, And listen to the night birds call. Far from the din of the cities, In the shade of a leaning tree, Just fishing, thinking and dream ing. That is where I love to be. By Louise Craig. Popular Match Prior to the U. S. - Mexican war. one of the most popular forms of match was the fire producer, con sisting of a bottle of sulphuric acid and 50 chemically-treated slivers of wood. The combination sold for $2, or four cents a light, as compared with one-sixtieth of a cent per match today.
