By telling the rest of the nation . . . over and over again ... to “Look Ahead Look South” for industrial opportunities. Month after month...year after year...we’re putting (out hard-earned cash to buy millions of pages of adver tising in nationally-circulated publications. So that we can “sound off” about the fast-growing Southland. So that we can place persuasive facts before the nation’s industrialists, businessmen, and financiers. SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM graphs and floor plans of Blue Ridge, which was the college’s home from its founding in 1933 until 1941. Step two of the exhibit shows the plans that were made by Wal ter Gropius and Marcel Breuer for a group of permanent buildings that were to be erected at Lake Eden. These plans were drawn up when the College purchased its present Lake Eden site in 1937. Lake Eden was selected after sev eral years of searching for the best possible site. The Gropius- Breuer plans called for a group of large, connected buildings of modernistic design, which would be built right over the banks of Lake Eden. The wooden summer resort buildings then standing at Lake Eden were to be torn down. The plans never got beyond the preliminary stage, and were aban doned in 1939 because of the war. Step three continues with the plans that were made by Norman Fletcher of the Architects’ Colla borative for a large post-war dor mitory for 40 students. Plans for the large dormitory were set aside when Don Wight, a student, pre sented a design for a small dor mitory, together with suggestions for combining studies and sleeping quarters. Both the Fletcher and Wight plans, which were rejected by the College, are on display. Step four of the exhibit shows the plans that have been made in recent weeks by the Architects’ Collaborative on the basis of dis cussions growing out of the Flet cher and Wight proposals. The new plans call for the initial con struction of one small dormitory. Plans for subsequent building are flexible, so that decisions can be made later for other buildings on the basis of experience with the first small dormitory. They also call for living quarters for one or more faculty members in connec tion with each dormitory unit, a zoning plan which will guide the long-range building program, and more space for college social and theatrical events. These plans are TRAINED EYES Long years of experience are the stock-in-trade ol our watch repair depart ment. When we repair your watch it's a job well done for long continued timekeeping. C. I. McDOUGLE Matchmaker—Jeweler Jumper Bldg.—Black Mountain “Your watch repaired the factory way.” “Letting people know” is paying off, too. Just look at the many busy new factories throughout the South. And more are on the way! We’re blowing your horn. Sure! But we know it’s our horn, too. Because the Southern Railway is part and parcel of the South. Because we also benefit when we help the territory we serve to grow and prosper. President Lt. Jane Wade On Terminal Leave 0 After completing three years and three months as an army nurse, Lt. Jane Wade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Wade, ar rived in Black Mountain last Fri day from Ft. Lewis, Washington. She is on terminal leave until December 20, and has no plans for the future, but will probably re turn to private duty. Lt. Wade completed her nursing training in the Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, February, 1943, and did private duty until called to service in September, 1943. She was in the ETO for a little over a year, and was with the First Army during combat. After the war she was with the Army of Occupation for 6 months before returning to the United States in December 1945. tentative and subject to criticisms and suggestions. The exhibit was prepared and presented so that ! these suggestions could be made before permanent construction gets , under way.

How a misused word can change the entire meaning of a sentence or paragraph is illustrated by the fol’owing story for which we are indebted to R. S. Eckles, Black Mountain realtor, who heard it from Jerry Repass. It seems that the latter’s father knew a man in South Carolina named Billy Williamson who had never been to school in his life but who had made a lot of money blockading cotton to the British during the Civil war and who was prone to use the longest or big gest words he heard. One day while driving through the rural district the elder Repass saw Billy hanging over a rail fence in front of a knoll upon which quite a respectable building was under construction. After the usual salutation the visitor said to Billy: “Looks as if you are building a pretty fine house on that knoll.” “Yes.suh,” Billy replied, “Bro ther Repass, “ah’s building a ferdando all around it, and a porto rico up above it, and a revenue up to it. And pretty soon ah’ll be able to entertain mah friends in a hostile manner.” • READ THE ADS TOO!

S. savings bonds are still the safest invest ment in the world, IVilliam H. Neal, president of the North Carolina Bankers association, today urged the public to buy bonds during the special period of November 11 to December 7, and pledged the full support of the banks to the cam paign. “Savings Bonds are the same safe and sound investment that the war bonds were,” Neal said. “They provide a means of investing surp lus money today to buy the things re shall need in years to come and cannot buy today. Every three dol lars grows to four in ten years, and these bonds are not subject to market fluctuations. “Becinning Armisice Day, Nov ember 11, and extending through the Anniversary of Pearl Harbor, December 1, the treasury depart ment will conduct an intensive na tion-wide effort to promote the sale o/ Series E bonds. As during the war, the bonds may be purchased outright or through payroll deduc tions. The banks of North Carolina, which sold tremendous amounts of war bonds, have pledged their co operation and facilities in the trea sury department’s peacetime pro gram to sell saving bonds. “Every dollar we put in saving : bonds helps to hold down inflation | and aids the government in manag ing the public debt created by the ; war to maintain our freedom. | North Carolinians responded mag nificently to the appeal of the war ■ bond drives, and I am confident I they will respond to this peacetime ! request of our government.” READ THE ADS TOO! j FORMER RESIDENTS HERE FOR VISIT Mrs. Wright MacMillan of Montclair, New Jersey, arrived, Sunday morning for a week’s visit with her mother, Mrs. S.
