Pis ■ gah was granted Station WLOS, i Asheville, last Saturday by the National Forest Service, and sta tion manager Charles M. Britt said work on it may begin this week end. The announcement of the for mal approval came after a rather heated controversy which ended in a public hearing in the Buncombe city last month. The formal announcement came from Richard E. McArdle, chief of the Forest Service, who said that the secretary of agriculture had confirmed his decision. It was pointed out in Mr. Mc Ardle’s statement that more than 9,000 individuals and 39 local gov ernmental and civic organizations had endorsed the tower site. A por tion of his statement follows: “The Forest Service therefore concludes that the public interest would best be served by authoriz ing WLOS-TV to use Mt. Pisgah as a TV site in accordance with the expressed views of a great major ity of local citizens, their locally | elected representatives, and civic j organizations. j “The easement to be issued | WLOS-TV will require that appur tenant facilities be constructed as inconspicuously as possible. Un necessary disturbances of the en vironment or development not re quired for operation of the TV sta tion will be prohibited. Access to the summit will be by cable car from the west side and not by road so as to minimize disturbance of the summit. Commercial ventures not connected with TV broadcast ing will not be permitted on the area.” A number of projects adjacent to and on the peak must be com pleted before the actual tower construction begins around June 1st, according to Mr. Britt. These include improvement of an old road from Cruso to a point 2,200 feet below the summit. The road will connect with a three-rail two car hoist to be used by company and forest service personnel for reaching the tower. There will be no road to the summit. A station house on the western slope of the peak and concrete foundation for the tower must also be constructed. Mr. Britt says that the tower is already on hand. It is 300 feet high with a 50-foot antenna. The station plans to begin test patterns between August 1 and 15th ind expects to start commercial telecasting early in September. Special Services Set At Oak Grave Special religious services are be ing held during this week of dedi cation at Oak Grove church, Rev. W. A. Kerr, the pastor, an nounces. All members of Oak Grove Meth odist church and English Chapel are especially urged by the pastor to attend, and Mr. Kerr extends a most cordial welcome to the pub lic. Services begin each evening at 7:30 o’clock. The young people had the pro gram on Wednesday night, and the older members will be in charge on Thursday and Friday nights. There is special music planned each evening.

On motion by Ralph Fisher, rep resentative from Transylvania, the chairman named a committee on nominations to report at the coun ty convention here on April 10, Serving on that committee are the following: Ralph R. Fisher, Ed Mc Coy, Roland Owen, Mrs. Millard Teague, Eugene King, Frank Mer rill, Harold McNeely and Lloyd Burhans.

AGAIN PROSPECTING (Continued From Page One) the finest quality he has ever seen. There is little of this mineral found in the eastern United States. What has been mined is of poor quality, although Mr. Horner says there are mines in the west pro ducing a great deal of manganese. This mineral sells today for about $120 a ton. The greater part of it is bought by the federal govern ment for use in defense materials. The principal use of manganese is in the hardening of steel. The great est producer of manganese is Rus sia. However, due to strained inter national relations little of it has been imported in the past few years. Mr. Horner showed a sincere in terest in the other mining opera tions which have taken place in the county—asbestos and mica, mainly. Throughout the past century min ing has had a prominent place in the economy of upper Transylva nia, mainly, although there has been some activity in the vicinity of the present maganese opera tions. At Little Mountain, near the present property, manganese was mined as far back as the period of the War Between the States. It was shipped from Blantyre for use in the manufacture of arms for the Southern soldiers. Mining activity was noted as late as 1929 when manganese ore was shipped from Pisgah Forest after being taken from the Little Mountain section. OBSERVANCE (Continued From Page One) ent country are responsible for the program. This year’s was planned by Sarah Chakko of India. A silver offering will he taken and sent to foreign and home mis sions selected by the national coun cil. Women of all faiths are cordially invited to worship at this service. An automobile radiator throws off enough heat, on a day when the temperature is zero, to heat a 6 room house. (Continued From Page One) Mr. Fisher was placed on a com mittee to seek a candidate for con gress to oppose George A. Shuford, of Asheville, Democratic incum bent. The only speech at the Waynes ville meeting was made by W. W. (Tony) Candler, of Candler. He praised the Eisenhower administra tion and said, “You can’t correct all the mistakes of government for 20 years in 12 months.” He assert ed he was not condemning the Democratic party “but the things it has stood for.” The convention approved the following resolutions: Endorsing President Eisenhow er’s administration. Endorsing “what Republican congressmen are trying to do.” Endorsing “efforts to root out Communists and pinkos.” While at the Waynesville con vention, Mr. Fisher told reporters that if he returned to the general assembly he will vote for repeal of the so-called “secrecy law,” which he favored in 1953. He explained that he voted for the measure then because he felt an “emergency” existed. In this connection he remarked that there had been an abuse of responsibili ty by a few newspapers, but that he did not imply any blanket crit icism of the press. Mr. Fisher was in court in Hendersonville yester day and could not be reached for a fuller statement of his views about the “secrecy law,” which amended a 25-year-old section of the executive budget act to permit the joint appropriations committee, or any of its subcommittees, to hold closed sessions after public hear ings have been held. Attending the Waynesville con vention in addition to Mr. Hamlin, Mrs. Teague and Mr. Fisher were T. N. Davis, Jud Morgan, Mrs. Eu gene King and son, and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth McDarris. A similar group will attend the state convention in Charlotte on Saturday, at which Senator Frank Carlson, of Kansas, will deliver the keynote speech. Senator Carlson is a staunch supporter of President Eisenhower and was one of his con fidants during the 1952 campaign. GOP delegates at Charlotte will nominate for high state and fed eral offices, including the U. S. senate and two seats on the state supreme court, a state treasurer and insurance commissioner. New officers are also to be elected. Health Department Urges Immunization Of Pre-lst Graders| The Transylvania health depart ment has issued a statement to pa rents urging them to begin immu nizations of six-year olds who will be starting school this fall. The immunization shots for whooping cough, small pox and diphtheria will be given by any physician or may be secured from the health department at the gen eral clinic on Fridays. Miss Martha Choate, health nurse, states that pre-school clinics will begin this month. However, she urges parents who do not wish to have to wait in line to take advan tage of the clinic days which are usually not too crowded. The Friday clinic hours at the health office in the Tinsley build ing are 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. When you think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S_ad\ TOWN BOARD (Continued From Pace One) city fathers with a petition with 31 names, requesting that Ashworth extension be opened up. Mayor John A. Ford explained that before the street could be opened the property owners had to first deed the land to the town. After hearing a complaint by Thomas Galloway concerning flood ing of his lot on Johnson street, the aldermen referred the matter to the street committee for immediate investigation. On behalf of T. T. Loftis, owner of the Brevard bowling center, At torney Robert Gash requested the board to permit Sunday bowling in Brevard. Action was deferred un til the next meeting. Stop signs are to be erected at the following intersections: Maple and Gaston streets; Railroad and Whitmire streets; Morgan and Caldwell streets; and Oaklawn and Main streets. Mayor Ford presided over the meeting, and aldermen attending were Henry R. Henderson, Dr. E. 0. Roland, Joe H. Tinsley and C. R. Sharp. APPROPRIATIONS (Continued From Page One) body group had been advised to keep the State Board of Education informed on the findings and the recommendations regarding the Transylvania school system. The board decided to invite a rep resentative from the state depart ment to the meeting when the rec ommendations are made public here. This should be sometime in April, Supt. J. B. Jones stated. The board of education also de cided to compile a set of school policies in looseleaf form, which could be expanded from time to time. Items to be included, for exam ple, would be the fact that all school board meetings are open to the public and visitors are always welcome. Another example, Supt. Jones explained, is the policy re garding the employment of teach ers. Every attempt is made to em ploy teachers with standard certifi cates, and those without them are employed only when teachers with : standard certificates are not avail able. Martha Fortune In Finals For Nursing Scholarship, Duke Miss Martha Fortune, Brevard high school senior, has received word that she is in the finals for a scholarship to the Duke Univer sity School of Nursing.
