From A Reporter’s Notebook By FRANCES WALKER This Saturday will go down in history books as one of North Carolina’s most important dates to be remembered. We shall vote for or against a constitutional amendment regarding our schools. I know this column is not for the purpose of making any profound statements or wei ghing any heavy problems. But I would like to give the readers a brief resume of my reaction to the Pearsall plan. At first I was completely negative and my mind was made up to vote against it. This was typical, I fear, of the at titude of many in the Tar Heel state. The reason I was against it was that I did not fully under stand the provisions of the plan. After reading the complete text, (I said complete and not some one else’s interpretation) of the amendment and analyzing it, I began to see why we should ac cept it. For those of you who haven’t done this, please read it before Saturday It’s carried in complete form in this week’s Times. There is also a letter car ried in this issue signed by offi cers of the P-TA in several schools in which they urge that we vote against the amendment. I don’t think this is quite fair in that they imply they are rep resenting their membership when no P-TA meetings have yet been held for them to poll opin ions. Parents who understand the provisions of this amendment can see that it is designed to save our public school system and not de stroy it as a few minority groups have argued. Now I’ll crawl down off the soap box and turn to lighter things. We get lots of chuckles in newspaper offices because people are always calling for information. The other day I answered a call front a wo man who wanted advice on how to dress for a wedding. She asked to speak with the “fashion editor’’. I I told her we didn’t have any such and thought at first someone was pulling my leg. But she was ser ious and I tried to answer her questions to the best of my know ledge. It wasn’t five minutes after that when the phone rang again. This time it was a woman, also. She wanted to know if Monte Carlo was in Monaco. I told her yes. She then asked, if when addressing a letter, it would be correct to put Monte Carlo, Monaco. Yes, again. She must have been writing to her Highness, the Princess of Monaco. After seeing how beautiful she IJffijSARE YOUR HOUNDS PARIN' TO OO? Hard-running hunting dogs burn up i terrific amount of energy every time they hit the trail.

C ■a looked at her wedding (on in color at a local theatre last week), many of us could have been prompted to do just that. Grace really and truly looked the role of the princess. Don’t think I’ve ^ver seen more gorgeous color photography. Sheer pleasure is the only way to describe driving over our new Highway 64 to Hendersonville. It’s such a wonderful road that you can’t believe it’s really true. Sunday I had to sort of pinch myself. The highway is already paved to Blantyre and for a short distance into Transylvania. Judging from the progress made in recent weeks, it shouldn’t be too long before all of the road is paved into where it joins N. C. 280. En route home I 'turned off onto the old route when the pav ing on the new road ended. Driv ing on it in comparison seemed like a narrow, winding pig track. Buncombe county should fuss about their road situation. This is the first new road construction in Transylvania in years and be lieve me, it’s time we can appre ciate it! Had a very welcome letter this week from the former Dotty Ham ilton. of Brevard, now Mrs. Ray Dillard, of Boise, Idaho. She sent a clipping from the Boise States man concerning a teen-age girl from that city, Barbara Shook, who was a scholarship student at the Transylvania Music Camp this summer. The item, taken from the “About Town’’ column gave the girl’s description of playing in “The Castle of the Swan”, Biltmore House. Naturally for a teen-ager that was quite a thrill. Dotty went on to write that she is working for the Idaho Press Association. Thanks for the compliments, too, Dotty. She wrote that into her of fice come the weekly newspapers of Idaho and none of them are as fine as the hometown paper. May be she’s the least bit prejudiced! [ I’ve never particularly envied the life of a school teacher. They have it pretty rough even under the best of circumstances. Should I ever stretch a point and say I do envy one, it would be the first grade teacher. There is some thing so adorable and downright stimulating about a child in school for the first time. Here’s one that a first grade teacher told me happened last week: Teacher: “Can anyone tell me the main use for cowhide?” Johnny: “Yes, ma’am. It keeps the cow together.” Teachers Group Plans Picnic At Lake Sega Today Members of the Transylvania county units of the Classroom Tea cher association and the NCEA will have a picnic supper Thursday night.

BUS COMPANY TO MAKE SAME RUNS Smoky Mountain Stages Withdraws Requests. Ac tion Follows Protests Rosman to Asheville bus line will continue to operate until fur ther notice, according to statement received yesterday by C. M. Doug las, secretary of the bus commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce. Original request had been made by Smoky Mountain Stages through its receiver, Queen City Coach com pany, to discontinue the one round trip daily from Rosman to Ashe ville via Brevard and N. C. 280 as of Sept. 9. Objection to the bus stoppage was made in official letters from the Brevard and Rosman chamber of Commerce bus committees last week, with the notation made that objection to stopping the bus would be withheld providing the Smoky Mountain operators would give their franchise over the route. Effort has been made in the meantime by the bus committees of the two civic groups to secure other service over the route proposed for closing by Smoky, and contacts have been made. Queen City has asked the Utili ties commission at Raleigh to hold up proceedings until after Sept. 19, and the bus company is asking that it be allowed to continue holding the franchise with a possible lease of rights over the Rosman-Asheville section to another operator. The Queen City officials state that they hope to work out a rout ing beyond Asheville and Ander son, S. C., through Brevard and Rosman, and on this basis do not wish to relinquish the franchise outright.
