From A Reporter’s Notebook
By FRANCES WALKER
With graduation over at the
high school and pending next
week end at Brevard college,
there’s an air of excitement in
the thought of receiving that
sheepskin for hours of classwork
and home work. This county will
he well represented in college
graduating classes as well. I
haven’t heard who the graduating
men are, but we have some girls
finishing who have made com
mendable records. Ruth Gaines
and Carolyn Kizer are both mem
bers of the graduating class at
the University of North Carolina j
and both are going into the teach
ing field. They have made excel
lent records, as has Sarah McMa
han, of Raleigh, formerly of Bre
vard, who is finishing Monday at
Queens college in Charlotte. And
at Columbia, Mo., Harriet Patter
son is graduating from Stephens
(junior college), and her parents
are going out this week for all
the festivities at this ultra-mod
ern, progressive school.
Taking precedence over gradua
tion in many homes is polities! How
hot the races get the week before
election! In many families the mem
bers are split on their candidate
selection, because party can be the
same and opinions differ during
the primary. The result of some vig
orous campaigning on the part of
several will mean a large vote,
which is preferable. The chairman !
of the board of elections even saw j
fit to have extra ballots printed be-1
cause of the expected large vote.!
It’s funny how politicians operate
and the results they do or do not
get. Going around talking to their
friends is one of the best methods
of politicking, and I can’t help but |
make some comparisons of candi
dates outside this county. Dale
Thrash has done more active work
here in this county for himself.
He’s been in our office several
times while working in Brevard but
I don’t recall having met either
George Shuford or Frank Parker,
who are running against him. In
the gubernatorial race Bill Umstead
spent a day visiting in Brevard,
and no doubt, Hubert Olive has
been here but I haven’t met him.
This doesn’t necessarily indicate
I'm voting for the men just be
cause of some handshaking, but
that handshake is never underesti
mated when it comes to politick
ing. Let me urge you to vote Sat
urday; you are merely exercising
a privilege of democracy.
Received a letter from Myrtle
(Mrs. E. D.) Trull last week
along with a check to renew their
subscription. The Trulls left
Brevard for Norwood, Pa., where
they are now making their home.
1 was amused at her notation
which said, “I look forward to
getting that paper as much as I
do my husband’s pay check.
Ha!” Mrs. Trull indicated that
she hoped that they would soon
be moving back to Transylvania
county. That’s the way it is; ev
erybody who leaves gets home
sick for these beautiful moun
tains and fine people.
The male species is continually
baffled by the clothing and ap
pearance of the female—evidently
from a very early age. I had bought
a white sports blouse made of ter
ry cloth with jersey ribbing around
the neck, sleeves and waist. Last
week after paying a visit to the of

Jonas Bridges Is
Promoted To Cpl.
At Fort Jackson
WITH THE 8TH INFANTRY
D1V., FORT JACKSON, S. C.-^Io
nas R. Bridges, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Bridges, of Boiling Springs,
recently received orders promoting
him to the grade of corporal at
Fort Jackson, S. C.
The promotion was in recognition
of Corporal Bridges’ outstanding
performance of his assigned duties
as chief of the radio-TV section of
the Eighth Infantry division’s pub
lic information office.
* A 1948 graduate of Boiling
Springs high school, Corporal
Bridges attended Gardner-Webb
college for two years. Prior to en
tering the military service in March
of last year, at Charlotte, he was
employed at radio station WPNF
as announcer.
fice on a day I was wearing it,
\Vz year old Michael Driscoll said
to his 6-year-old sister, “Sis, how
would you like to have a wash rag
shirt like Frances’?”
But that’s not all . . . there’s the
insult about my pony tail. For
months I’ve been letting my hair
grow from very short to sort of
longish, at least long enough to tie
back in a pony tail. I walk briskly
in to work one morning and Ira
Armfield wants to know what hap
pened to my hair. I explain. About
five minutes later, evidently after
some cogitation, Ira says, “Frances,
did you say that hair style is called
a mule tail?” Certainly not. “Well,
whatever it is, it’s freakish.”
Now, how would men like it if
we dressed and wore our hair in
the same ole hum-drum way that
they do. We just wouldn’t be wom
en, that’s all.
The Times Arcade has always
been such a bottleneck for traf
fic because it’s too narrow to be
anything but a one-way street.
It’s tough on truck drivers, too,
believe you me. They have to
come in to deliver to many stores
which border in the vicinity. Now
the town has put up a sign indi
cating they must not go out on
the Jordan street side. I guess
they’re just experimenting to see
if that will help the problem or
add to it. Anyway, several of us
were discussing it the other day
when a big truck was struggling
to turn around in front of here,
and a young mother hastened to
tell me what her three-year-old
said about the Blue Ridge van.
Watching it with interest one
day, the child said in astonish
ment, “Mommie, how in the
world do they ever get around
the corners?”
FISH HOOK DOES ITS STUFF
A firm believer in using some
thing that's proved its worth is
Murray Conaway, of Memphis,
Tenn. He found a hook inside a
fish he was cleaning and since has
caught nine bass with the hook.
