FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER
By
EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON
We really got a fast tip on
the crash of the Piedmont Jet
and the light aircraft in mid
air near Hendersonville Wed
nesday morning
We were talking with the
manager of the bus station
over there about that time
concerning engravings coming
in on the bus for The Times.
All of a sudden he said:
‘■Wait a minute Mr. Ander
son."
After a long pause, he be
gan telling us that he was see
ing the aftermath of the plane
crash right there from mid
Hendersonville.
He said he could see burn
ing pieces of the planes
floating to the ground and
billows of smoke were boiling
up skyhigh.
As we were talking on the
phone, we could hear ambu
lances screaming in the back
ground.
Plane crashes are always
bad. but they seem to be much
worse when they happen near
home.
"A newspaper means a lot to
someone away from home!’’ says
SP5 Benjamin L. Fi.sher in ref
erence to the gift subscription
given to all local boys in Viet
nam last Christmas.
Bennie, returning home a
couple of weeks ago from a
year’s stay in Vietnam, took the
time to c'bmc by and tell us how
much his hometown newspaper
meant to him while in service.
And we appreciated it too. He
told us that he even shared it
with other North Carolinians.
Son of Mr. and Mrs. John L.
Fisher, of Lake Toxaway, Ben
nie was eager to return home to
see his 10-month old daughter,
Kelley, for the first time. His
wife, is the former Brenda Nieh.
clson. also of Lake Toxaway.
About Vietnam. Bennie relates
that it is a hard life to adjust
to. but that it was a good ex
perience in that he learned and
saw a great deal. Emphatically,
he .stated. ‘'It's no place to he
anybody’s enemy!”
Jim Brennan, former resi
dent of Brevard who was con
nected with Olin, writes us a
good suggestion for the radio
station.
Jim now lives in Trenton,
New Jersey, and he says the
station there every night at
10:00, 11:00 and 12:00 o’clock
makes the following an
nouncement:
‘Parents, where are your
children at this hour?”
★
Of course, we are very happy
that we do not live in New Jer
sey a; this time, especially Ne
wark.
A1 Morrison, former Du Pont
plant manager here, says the sit
nation is even worse than re
ported in the daily press or on
tv, if that is possible.
For several days it was noth
ing but undeclared civil war
with no one winning. But isn’t
that the case in every war?
★
An article in this week’s
Times brought back many
childhood memories.
Much of our very young life
was spent on a large farm just
outside of Reidsville and adja
cent to the Chinqua-Penn
plantation of Mr. and Mrs.
Jefferson Penn.
We used to hike the hills
and valleys surrounding this
palatial mansion.
Today, it is a public show
place, and Adelaide Van Wey
does a beautiful job of de
scribing it.
Read her article on page 2,
third section, of this week’s
Times.
Joke of the W’eek . . .
A grammar school test paper
asked students: ‘'Give an account
of the creation of man.'’
One little sweet 0xrl answer
ed: “First God created Adam.
He looked at hi.m and said, ‘I
think if I tried again 1 could do
a better job than that,’ then he
created Eve.”
