Page 4 t BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS—'Thurs. October 3, 1946 A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY This W/eek’s EDITORIAL Announcement by the city council that plans are under way to double the capacity of the present water system comes as welcome news to Black Mountain residents who have been forced to curtail the use o water except for domestic purposes. Termed by permanent residents as the worst drouth seen here since 1925, the long season without rftin has brought the first serious water shortage hei e in many years and clearly demonstrates that the pre sent system is inadequate to meet the demands of a growing town. The mayor and members of the council are to be commended for their foresight. o— The Black Mountain fire department is sponsor ng Fire Prevention Week, which is being observed October 6-12. Every year fire kills more children than polio and destroys more property than war, and the great pity of the whole thing is that a great many of the fires could be prevented—in other words they are the result of carelessness. Be careful with fire and save lives and property. Dr. Cooley To Study Medicine 0 — Dr. Samuel S.

Black Mountain Arts Club o “At his easel, eager-eyed A painter stands, and sunshine at his touch N. Gazes upon his canvas, and life glows.” Wm Cullen Bryant. Arrangements are being com pleted for a special art teacher for the eighth grade as these pupils havp made this request. Next week we expect to be able to publish full information. Circles are now being formed so that those interested in certain phases of the arts may study to gether thus gaining help and in spiration. Mrs. E. J. Anthony is chairman of activities. Please notify her in regard to your “pet hobby.” Each group will have a qualified leader whose names will be published next week. Within the next month, we will mention the works of the artists who, at the request of the Club, so graciously and generously of fered their pictures for our en joyment and instruction, during I the Arts Festival. Miss Jessie Stockard of Mon treat exhibited two unusual pic tures having the “modernistic j touch.” One that drew much at tention was a “Still Life” quickly assembled from nearby material so as to demonstrate how attrac tive and effective, “ordinary things” nearby become all depend ing upon artistic arrangement and color. A blue pottery bottle stood on a table that was draped with gray sateen. The background, three panels of old gold, was repeated in one table leg. One leg was dark blue-green, and another, light blue-green—all to harmonize with the satin drapery, and yet to give the startling “modern dash” of mixed colors. On the table w'as a ripe banana, likewise repeating the yellow of the back-ground. Under the skillful hand of the art ist, the sateen assumed the sheen and texture of finest satin, and the colors glowed with warmth and brilliance. Last Spring, this picture was selected by the Art Faculty of the Woman’s College of the ’Univer sity of North Carolina, for exhib ition in the Witherspoon Art Gal lery. Another “study” by Miss Stock ard was that of bronze and purple Dutch iris in a mahogany colored glass vase that reflected all lights. This vase was placed on a table cover of crumpled tan tissue pa per. With remarkable artistic in sight, Miss Stockard arranged a silver gray and tan gray striped background so that all of the col ors, even those of the iris, were reflected in the vase. These “studies” showed what a real true artist can accomplish with the simplest and most unin i viting materials, the common place | things of life, and, may it be i written reverently, even as Christ can touch the most sinful and ugly I life and make of it one of beauty, | an utter transformation. —Mr. A.

I Oct.-.’i; THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOL Is America A Christian Country. America is considered the most Christian of all the nations in the world. I do not think the Ameri can people do as much for the aid i and security of some of its most! needy as could be done. America has educated and sent missionaries to all countries to help the people to learn the Christ ian way of life and to help them to live like the American people. We have been most helpful in sending food and supplies to those who are starving and cannot clothe themselves. “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God," is a very good Bible statement that can be applied to Americans as well as to others. In other words, none of us is perfect and many of usj could go to church more often, j visit the sick, and always, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Katie Dalton. —The Honorable L. A. Oates,! British Consul, and his wife visit ed last week at the Monte Vita. —Mrs. Eugene Shaver from Jackson, Kentucky, is visiting her husband, Pfc. Eugene Shaver of Moore General Hospital.
