WORTH NOTICE By EARLE HITCH THE CENTENNIAL SCENE . . . In the window of their store on Main street Tony Trantham and Jack Trantham have on view and ready for the pace setters in male attire an item in centennial neck ware. This is the first I’ve seen. It is a ready-tied black bow, with a pendant on each wing. The pend ants bear the legend: Centennial 1861 ... 1961. BOOKS .... in the Transyl vania County Library. From Mrs. Lehman Kapp’s an nual report, just completed, I have learned there are 11,313 books in the county library’s system. This includes the colored branch and the bookmobile. The total circulation in the last fiscal year (June 30, 1959 to June 30, 1960) was 34,077, of which 27,015 was drawn from the central library. In that number the ratio of fiction to non-fiction is 21 to 6, from which fact it would not be sensible to draw any solemn con clusions. It may well be that the imaginative passages of such fic tion as “The Leopard” stirred more intellectual curiosity than some of the imaginative non-fiction about time and space, and economic prob lems. BROWN CARR I • Disability Income • Life Insurance • Accident & Sickness Box 589 BREVARD, N. C. Representing Occidental ee- i OF NORTH CAROLINA Home Office — Raleigh There were 6,676 readers of chil drens’ books (fiction) in the cen tral library. Bookmobile patrons read a total of 5,993 books, of which 4,275 were of the entertainment variety for adults and 1,294 were for the entertainment of children. Bookmobile readers included few non-fiction fans—257 adults and 167 juveniles — The ratio was about 13 fiction to 1 non-fiction. This reflects a higher taste for fic tion in the bookmobile areas than in the central library, but here again interpretation must be tem pered with the knowledge that non fiction on the portable library is restricted; also, that an unknown proportion of the withdrawals made in the central library are by residents of bookmobile areas. The library bought 649 new titles last year; most of these are new fiction—270 for adults and 184 for children. Discarded because they were worn out or out of date were 219 titles. An analysis of book readers in general and the increasing load on library services will be prepared by Mrs. Kapp shortly from those studies may come some kind of approximate index to the influ ences of TV, the random pleasures of adults, and the current intel lectual employments of youth. Guest Column (Continued from Page Four) ticipant in almost all of the tour naments arranged and sometime good can be said for any man who will play. ‘Ted Villeponteaux, another ex Bishop England, and College of Charleston athlete, was with Beat ty when they were set upon by a gang of about six juveniles. “After we decided to get out of there and I heard what I thought was a firecracker,” Ville ponteaux said later “we were run ning for the car when I heard what I thought was a firecrcker. Bob said he had been shot but he kept running so strongly I thought “what a time for a joke.” He didn’t appear to be hurt much until we got to the hospital. “Big, darkly handsome, Bob Beatty was gentle and had tried to help many of the misguided kids who came under his juris diction in the court. He had often spoken of the juvenile gangsters as “just kids.” “But as Villeponteaux pointed out yesterday: This boy was only 16 but apparently that’s old enough to kill the best friend I had in Charleston. “We will miss Bob Beatty as a friend and as a patron of the art of tennis.” NAME_ ADDRESS____ TOWN_______ CONTRIBUTION TO "PIONEER FUND" TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION CENTENNIAL 1961 $5. □ ADULT □ STUDENT -$1.

RUSSELL HANSON i __ _ j Playhouse Holding Over “The Bishop Misbehaves” With attendance records soaring and capacity audiences at every performance, the Flat Rock Play* house announced today that ‘The Bishop Misbehaves” would be held over for a second week, through Saturday, July 30th. For the second time in 10 years, the Vagabond Players are holding over a production. Only with their productions of “My Sister Eileen” at the Lake Summit Playhouse in 1949 and last season’s “The Hap piest Millionaire” have plays been given for two consecutive weeks. Several productions including “The Moon Is Blue” and “My Three Angels” have been repeated dur ing the season but were never giv en an extended run. With Will Sandy playing the role of the dignified Bishop and Helen Bragdon as his old-maid sister, the play tells how these two rather lovable characters accidentally wander into an English “pub,” and much to their delight, find them selves involved in a just-perpe trated jewel robbery. The riotous cast of characters who bound in and out of the “Queen’s Head” taproom and the hall of the Bis hop’s Palace include such players as Mary Francis Watson and Ed ward H. Wilkinson as Mr. and Mrs. Waller, the robbery victims; Gor don Elliott and Martha Bundy as the sophisticated crook and his beautiful fiancee; W. C. (Mutt) Burton as the Bishop’s secretary and Robroy Farquhar, Gil Rogers and Jack Milton complete the other members of the hold-up team. “Mrs. Gibbons’ Boys,” the pro uucti i originally scheduled for this week, will be dropped from the 10-week season play schedule. The schedule of plays for the remaind er of the season will be as follows: August 2-6. “R.U.R.;” August 9-13, “Roman Candle”; August 16-20, “Petrified Forest”; August 23-27, “Golden Fleecing”; and August 30 —September 3, “Monique.” Americans buy an average of 675 newspapers every second. Brevard Youth Fatally Injured In Henderson County Wreck A Brevard youth was injured fatally about 2:45 o’clock last Thursday when he wrecked a stol en car some two and a half miles from Hendersonville while fleeing from officers in a Hendersonville police cruiser.

A passenger in the car, James Eugene McCall, 17, also of Bre vard, was injured. He was admitted to the hospital with multiple con tusions of the body.

He said the officers told him the car accelerated to a high rate of speed, and that they gave up the chase at the city limits and radioed to the State Highway Pa trol. The patrolman said Burlingame apparently lost control of the car in a right-hand curve, swerved to the left side of the highway, jump ed a ditch and crunched head-on in to the pole. The auto, owned by Charlie E. Shope of Royal Pines, was listed as a total loss. Patrolman Wilds said the auto apparently was stolen from Shope’s home shortly after midnight. Funeral services for Burlingame were held last Friday afternoon in the chapel of Moody-Choate fun eral home. Rev. Hubert Clayton and Rev. John Cox officiated, and burial followed in the Oak Grove ceme tery.
