The Transylvania Times A State And National Prize-Winning A.B.C. Newspaper PUBLISHERS AND PRINTERS GENERAL OFFICE SUPPLIES JOB PRINTING A SPECIALTY Vol. 65, No. 5 BREVARD, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1954 * SECTION TWO ★ Price Vi m From A Reporter's Notebook By FRANCES WALKER It’s fun to be cn the winning team, to win prizes, to know that you have excelled in some way. Although The Times is a consis tent prize-winner in newspaper contests, it is always a new thrill to find you have won again. It gives one a sense of pride and also a renewed enthusiasm for the days ahead. Winning awards in any field should serve as a stimulus to try to do even better rather than to rest on past lau rels. It isn’t very often that I get down to Chapel Hill these days . . . it’s a long trip. Saturday I spent a few hours there for a meeting of the board of North Carolina Press Women. Driving in via the Pitts boro road I was pleased to see that the highway had been improved, but that was not the most startling observation. Every time I look at the new hospial, the medical school and adjacent buildings, I sense something miraculous. The so-called village has grown so rap idly in the past few years it gives a returning alumnus a creepy feel ing. After the meeting at Carolina Inn, I turned the Ford toward downtown Chapel Hill, circled around the campus and headed out of town for Sanford. I had the strangest feeling, sort of ghost like. In the first place a college campus never seems the same again after graduation, but Chapel Hill has def initely grown and changed drasti cally in the past few years. 1 he C hapel Hill way of life and j the atmosphere peculiar to that place alone have not changed ... here’s hoping they never do. A recent proof of the wide appeal this university town has through out the nation is that so many people retire there to spend the rest of their days . . . prominent folks, too. Dr. Robert M. Lester, who holds the important position of secretary of the Carnegie cor poration and of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, recently moved to Chapel Hill. He commutes to his headquarters in New York at in tervals. He says he’s been com ing to Chapel Hill on business MONUMENTS 600 Beautiful Designs To Select From Priced Reasonable L. PAUL BECK 326 Probart St. Dial 2-3451 for 25 years and long ago decid ed one day he would become a resident. Folks down in that section of the state have been fortunate (or un fortunate, whichever way you look at it) in that they have had good snows on two occasions this winter. We here in the mountains have es caped. I could still see traces of it Saturday in the ditches along the highway from Ashboro to Siler City. With springlike (though nip py) weather, it doesn’t appear that snow here is likely. We can never tell, though, until April at least. “Cuckoos On The Hearth” is the intriguing name of the sec ond Brevard Little Theatre play this season. It will be given Tues day and Wednesday evenings in the American Legion building. Plan to come by all means, but leave home a little earlier than usual because starting time has been moved up to 8 o’clock. It’s really more practical because it means getting home and to bed before quite so late. The setting and stage will be completed and put up this Saturday. Anyone with a strong back (I didn’t say weak mind) and a desire to help out will be welcomed. Come along and somebody will find a chore you can do. The Little Theatre workers are a grand bunch who believe in making fun out of hard work. Anyone who likes this sort of thing should lend his or her talents in that direction. “The Moon Is Blue” is still de lighting large audiences and pro yoking controversy. It has been giv ?n by the Little Theatre of Char lotte. Driving toward that city Fri day I heard a public service spot announcement saying it had been held over for another week. Their Little Theatre, like ours, sells sin gle admissions, thus permitting everyone who is interested to see the play. Then again on Sunday, while listening to WBT, I heard the play sharply criticized on re ligious grounds by Dale Francis, conductor of the Catholic Hour. It’s a great country where we are all entitled to our own opinions, and though even in disagreement, we still respect that of the other aerson. Brevard should be quite proud of William Bell Clark, whose most recent book, “THE FIRST SARATOGA,” has been publish ed by the Louisiana State Uni versity press.

Judd, of Minnesota, will deliver the prin cipal address. Dr. Judd has repre sented his fellow citizens as con gressman from the Fifth District of Minnesota in the U. S.

(Times Staff Photo) William Bell Clark Has Fifth Book Published On United States Navy Local Writer Is An Authori ty On This Country’s Early Sea History By STAFF WRITER “THE FIRST SARATOGA,” Wil liam Bell Clark’s fifth book on the United States navy and her heroes during the Revolutionary war peri od, more firmly establishes him as one of the foremost authorities or this country’s early sea history. The story of John Young and his sloop-of-war, Mr. Clark’s book was released early this year by the Louisiana State University Press. In an interview here at his home on Neely road, Mr. Clark elaborat ed on his early ambitions to tell the story of Revolutionary nava] operations, a neglected link in the history books. It began when he was a mere lad and his father pre sented him with a book. At Christ mas, 1899, William Bell Clark re ceived Abbott’s “Naval History oi the United States.” His boyhood ambition from that day forward MOVIE BEGINS AT 6:301 THURS. & FRIDAY SPECIAL ATTRACTION! “3 Steps To The Gallows” —Also— Selected Short Subjects • SATURDAY ONLY • Packed with the Drama of Early California! “The Bells Of San Fernando” • SUNDAY & MON. • “Stars And Stripes Forever” Starring Clifton Webb Selected Short Subjects » TUESDAY & WED.

When he grew up a bit, Mr. Clark received an appointment to Annapolis but was not admitted because of defective eyesight. It was a blow to the young man’s dream of a naval career. But Wil liam Bell Clark became an oppor tunist and jumped on this failure to enter the academy as another means of serving his country and the navy — through research and compilation of data heretofore un known. Although Mr. Clark has accumu lated quite a full collection of in formation on this era, it did not come about immediately.
