Autumn Season H ill lie I he Best of All
With Labor Day just around the corner—
just 10 days distant—and many of our good
summer residents and visitors thinking about
the job of packing up and heading for home
—we want to take this opportunity to re
mind that the autumn is THE season in our
mountain area.
So don't hurry away unless you really have
to—in order to get back on the job and let
the kids get back to school. Stay on with
us through the mellow days and crisp nights,
through September when Mother Nature will
bring her seasonal show to a real climax
with the brilliant red of the sumac, sour
wood and the gums, the maple, dogwood and
Virginia creeper—the yellows of the sassa
fras and poplar and hickory. If you linger
yet a little longer, you will also see the later
reds of the red oaks, the yellow of the chest
nut oak and the tans of the white oaks—
and later still see them fall into a carpel lor
the winter-long color of our evergreens.
There will be other visitors to augment
the ranks of any summer visitors who linger
—for the fall color show of Western North
Carolina draws visitors in record numbers.
Here you don't have to hit the crowded high
way to observe that show—you have a ring
side seat on your own front porch or from
the main street or any quiet, winding back
road. All you have to do is look up the
valley toward the hills against the bright
blue autumn sky.
The autumn is truly a special time in our
area—and we hope you’ll stay on with us
for a ringside view. But wherever the sea
son finds you. our good wishes accompany
you. Nice to have you with us—and come
back soon.
"( tutu* and See Tour ut ) our lire Department
Invites \ Ol
Every resident of Black Mountain and its
outlying areas, as well as members of the
communities of Swannanoa. Blue Ridge. Mon
treat, Ridgecrest and Broad River will have
opportunity to see the kind of protection
their property and loved ones are afforded
by the Black Mountain Fire department when
open house is held all day on the coming
Monday at the Fire department in Black
Mountain's City hall.
Taxes of residents of this town support
the department—with but little margin for
needed equipment and improvements which
allow the department to up its services and
therefore its ratings, which would result in
the ability of underwriters to lower our fire
insurance rates. Every resident of these
areas, as well as the town, has a real stake
in what the Black Mountain Fire department
is equipped to do. This margin is narrowed
bv the S3 annual voluntary contributions
made by residents outside the two limits who
join the Fire association. More members
are welcome and needed. This is a small
request, indeed, for augmenting equipment
needed for effective fire-fighting by the loyal
volunteers and department staff members
who are at the call of all of us 24 hours a
day.
Join “the come and see tour” next Mon
day—and also join your Fire association.
You can thus express your awareness and
appreciation of the results already achieved
by members of the community who have been
interested enough to give time and money
and gifts of merchandise and services for
YOUR protection from the hazards of fire.

WHO ARE THEY? ...Within 18
months from now, we will have
under way in North Carolina vigor
ous and ferocious campaigns for
Governor, for the U. S. Senate, and
for various State offices.
It isn’t even likely all our State
officials up for election will have
opposition, but odds are most of
them will.
And, as for Governor, we should
have a lot of fun...and there may
be some excitement for the U. S.
Senate seat now held by li. Everett
Jordan of Saxapahaw.
Nevertheless, as of today, no
body knows who has the inside
track for that big rambling resi
dence occupying one full block on
North Blount Street.
Four years ago right along now
when the Pearsall plan was on
everybody’s lips, folks were saying
Tom Pearsall of Rocky Mount
might be a shoo-in for Governor.
We heard on good authority a few
days ago that he is not the slight
est bit interested in the position
and would not make the race under
any circumstances.
Terry Sanford of Fayetteville,
who served a term in the State
Senate and managed the late Kerr
Scott’s successful campaign for the
l’. S. Senate in 1954. is getting
around a lot. talking, visiting,
shaking hands--and even doing a
little preaching. Sanford looks
and certainly acts -definately gub
ernatorial. He must be reckoned
with in any discussion of the Gov
ernor’s race in I960.
Sanford, originally from Laurin
burg, has another Scotlander on
his hands: Edwin Gill, state treas
urer. H knows the state, knows
people, has connections, and is the
last real simon-pure holdover front
the fine old Gardner regime which
pretty well ran politics in this
State from about 1925 until 1945.
Good friend of the Governor, too.
Will he run? Nobody seems to
know late in ‘58 what is cooking
for 119)0. Odd!
LENNON...Then there is Alton
Lennon of Wilmington, now in
Congress. lie has had experience
in the State Senate, in the U. S.
Senate, and beat out Lumberton’s
Ertel Carlyle for the Seventh dis
trict seat m the House of Repre
sentatives two years ago. He was
52 la>- Sunday, August IT. He is
energetic, well dressed, meets
people easily, and has a good head
of hair. Women say he is hand
some—not a bad asset.
Our firm opinion is that Alton

alumnus, attorney, will not run for
the House in 1960. He will either
run for the U. S. Senate or for
Governor. Since the same people
supporting Jordan so' vigorously
now, plumped hard for Lennon
when Kerr Scott took his measure
four years ago, we would say that
the Wilmington stemwinder will
not oppose Senator Jordan. That
means he will run for Governor,
with Scott forces rallying to San
ford and against Lennon—one more
time.
THE GROl I*...So. IS months
hence, ne could have quite a race
for Governor with the following,
all being mentioned prominently
for the post, fighting it out: Mal
colm Seawell of Lumberton. new
attorney general, farmer solicitor,
former judge, good friend of Ed
win Gill anrl the Governor, young
and ambitious; Luther Earnhardt
of Concord, lieutenant governor
and experienced legislator; Terry
Sanford of Fayetteville; State
Treasurer Edwin Gill: and Alton
Lennon of Wilmington.
If the voting were held tomorrow,
whom of the above would you fav
or? Not an easv question.
Can HE WIN?...We are almost
of the opinion that the average
person does not know, or care
much, about politics—that is, gov
ernment.
A newspaper reporter in Detroit,
says the current issue of "News
week Magazine”, a few days ago
conducted a little survey. This
Detroit Free Press newspaperman
strolled about in Cadillac square
discussing campaign issues with
good American citizens. Although
tin- primary election was to be tl^<
following day throughout .Michi
gan, the first 14 people he met
did not know it.
<)( these first 14. he also asked:
"What do you think of the chances
of this guy Bryan—William Jen
nings—will he win the nomination?”
V housewife said: "Yes. I think
his chances are pretty fair."
V well-dressed ntan thought a
moment and replied: “I've heard a
lot about him. He’s got a good
cha nee.”
To make a long story short,
seven thought William Jennings
Bryan would win—but admitted
they weren’t sure what he was run
ning for.
Well, if the seven—that seven
thought Bryan, would win, it was
obvious they expected more from
him dead than alive. The Demo
cratic party’ nominated him for
President three times and three
times he lost—in 1896 to McKinley;
in 1900 again to McKinley; and in
1908, to William Howard Taft. He
died 33 years ago this past July.
NOTES...The current issue of
“The State Magazine” has 1.36
pages—36 more pages than the lat
est issue of “Saturday Evening
Post”. The price: $1.00 per copy
and worth it.Although Jesse

To The Editor:
PARASITES NUMEROUS
A recent article in our enter
prising' little paper on the subject
of the wood borer or pine beetle
reminds that since the time of
Old Man Noah of the Ark and the
release of the plagues in the times
of the Pharaoahs there have been
destructive parasites of all kinds.
Even man is one form that lives
strictly on something else.
1 agree with Mr. Wood. The
Forestry Service doesn’t know-—
from a theoretical standpoint, all
insects start from a larva or egg
laid in the twigs of wood, same as
the 7-year locust, one of Phar
aoah’s many plagues. They lie dor
mant many moons, longer than
others. They hatch into grubs or
worms and these are the boys re
sponsible for killing trees. Even
the grubworm is a common June
bug. The royal moth turns into
the hickory devil. About frost he
forms his silken cocoon, and i'-n
hatches out in the spring as big as
a bat.
I must admit the Forestry ser
vice has changed to a great ex
tent our mountains and mountain
streams. 1 am not a member of
the Garden club but I make a g . -
den and will be glad to assi.-t in
then- efforts. Neither am I a for
ester, except maybe a natural one,
as I know most of the trees on the
Asheville watershed—about 40,000
acres. 1 don’t mean by name I
personally know them. There is
where 1 got my degree in fores
try. 1 have about 15 years in
horticulture in the open field un
der S. C. Clapp at State farm,
now Moore VA hospital. 1 studied
entymology under W. M. Burton
miller, a German scientist, while
working for the American Museum
of New York City as a guide in
the Black Craggies and Smokies.
My remedy for insects is simple
and easy to apply. Use crankcase
oil cut with about one-third kero
sene. Squirt a little in the in
sect’s hole; don’t bother to stop
it up, he will get it on him and
make his exodus; try it on tent
caterpillars in the spring, just
a few drops i-n his small tent; he
does the rest. If you want to ki.l
a pine thicket, cut a hickory pole
as soon as the bark begins to de
cay. Beetles lay their eggs un
der; in less than three years the
pines are all dead from this one
hickory stick. You can hear them
cutting. Caution: keep dead woods
away from your pet trees, as wood
termites hibernate there.
F. B. Burnette.

As previously explained in this
newspaper, the center is to in
clude a clubhouse and baseball
field on property leased from the
town of Black Mountain for re
creation purposes. The property
lies below Tomahawk lake and
back of Don’s Restaurant and
runs along the west side of the
stream. It is large enough for a
baseball field and other outdoor
sports.
“This is so obviously a worth
while and needed project that our
people should contribute without
awaiting a personal canvass,” Mr.
Bowness said.
“Youngsters,” he said, “like to
feel they belong, and if we do not
provide something wholesome for
their spare time, they will drift
into mischief groups and sooner
or later get into trouble. Let’s do
our part now, that we may have
better neighbors in the future.”

On Proposed Hew
Youth Center Here
“Young people who drift about
the community and sometimes con
tribute to happenings which ire
not desirable, do so in gieat P‘"
because they have no sense of be
longing—either at home or in the
community"
M K Head, one of the original
members of the Boy Scout com
mittee motivating a movement
which ha' “mushroomed into a
community effort to establish a
permanent youth center in Bl.uk
Mountain", made this reminder m
addressing a luncheon meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce at .he
Monte Vista hotel on Tuesday
The proposed center is a “Finer
Carolina" project.
Mr Head continued: “The drift
er with no place to go doesn 1
necessarily drift—and wind up in
mischief—because he wants ;o. so
much as he is following up on
the fact that everyone—young or
old -needs to feel he belongs
somewhere. We believe it is the
duty of the community to provide
a place for recreation and group
activitv We don t feel a vouth
center will solve all our prob! m>
of youth—but it is our duty to
do what we can " he pointed out
Plans for the youth center have
a goal of $7500 for a clubhouse
for use in Scouting and other
youth activities. Far fund-rais
ing purposes, the sponsors have
incorporated as Operation Youth,
Inc. with Carl Bowness as chair
man of the board of directors of
this non profit organization. It is
anticipated that funds raised for
the center will be augmented by
members of the community aiding
with labor and landscaping.
Results for the community. Mr
Head added, will include not only
decrease in problems posed by
restless youth, but also will make
property, on which a 25-year lease
has been granted by the Town of
Black Mountain, to become trans
formed “from a vacant tract of
weeds, briars and brush into an
attractive asset adjoining the lake
and clubhouse area, in which the
community can take pride." Most
clubs of the community have al
ready endorsed the project and
expressed their readiness to co
operate. and the matter of en
dorsement by the Chamber of
Commerce was on Tuesday refer
red to the executive committee for
action.
Action at this week's meeting
comprised unanimous vote on a
motion for the Chamber of Com
merce to express to the Town
Council a wish for enforcement
of existing laws prohibiting spit
ting on sidewalks in the commun
ity. Executive Secretary George
Moray was instructed to commun
icate this message to the council.
