A 30-TON DRILLING MACHINE was too
much for the platform at the Southern Railway de
pot here Tuesday morning. As it was being un
loaded from a flatbed railway car. it crashed
through the platform. Observers say it was mirac
ulous that it didn’t turn o,ver and receive extensive
damages. Railway and other crews worked for
five hours getting it righted on solid ground. To
day, the machine is being moved, under its own
•power, to the site of the new satellite tracking sta
tion in upper Transylvania. There it will be used
for drilling foundations. It is said that there are
only four of these custom-made drilling machines
in America. This particular one was shipped to
' Brevard from Denver, Colorado. (Times Staff

“Miss Brevard99 Had Thrilling
Experiences At State Contest
By FREDDIE NORRIS
Tuesday, July 10th, matted
the end of many weeks of
preparation and the beginning
of one of the busiest and most
exciting weeks in the life of
Shirley Hammill, Brevard’s
1962 representative to the Miss
North Carolina Beauty Pag
eant.
This writer had the delightful
responsibility of chaperoning
Shirley to Charlotte — and I do
mean chaperone.
The first instruction we re

+—- . ■■■■'■ —*
By - A1 Martin
Brevard’s
Official Weatherman -
On Friday afternoon of last
week the mercury climbed to 89
degrees to equal the record high
for the year set in May. On Sat
urday the 90 degree mark was
broken when the temperature
reached 92. Sunday afternoon, a
new high for 1962 was reached
when the mercury hit 93 degrees,
the highest to date in the year.
The early morning low reading
averaged about 60 degrees for
the past week with precipitation
totaling just over one-third of an
inch.
Official readings for the sev
en day period are as follows:
High Low Prec.
Wednesday- 85 61 0
Thursday- 85 62 .06
Friday . 89 62 .04
Saturday-— 92 57 0
Sunday_-. 93 58 .10
Monday- 89 64 .15
Tuesday.— 87 09 .00
ceived on registering was that
Shirley was never to answer
the door, telephone, or speak
to any male unless in the pres
ence of the chaperone; and ab
solutely no male was to be al
lowed in the room, except the
immediate family.
With Shirley’s registration on
Tuesday she became part of the
largest pageant ever held — eith
er local, state, national, or world
wide. North Carolina’s reputa
tion as the largest and best state
pageant soon became evidenced
by the number of notables at
tending. Among the judges were
Brad H. Frapart, business man
ager of the Miss America Pag
eant and Mrs. Margaret (Peg)
O’Neal, official chaperone of
Miss America.
The pageant Mistress of Cere
monies was Marilyn Van Der
Bur, Miss America of 1958, and
T. V. Mistress of Ceremonies Sat
urday night was Marian Mc
Knight Carmody, Miss America
of 1957. Of course, the favorite
by far was Maria Fletcher, the
current Miss America, who
crowned Janice E. Barron of
Morganton, Miss North Carolina
for 1963.
We rushed from registra
tion Tuesday to the Coliseum
for orientation and from orien
tation back to our room to un
pack and change for the
night’s activities. By happy
mistake we were assigned an
extra large room. It was so
luxurious that we were sorry
we could only spend about six
hours out of 24 in tt. (Sleep
wag something you just didn’t
get around to.)
Things really swung into high
