The Fourth of July observ ance is always a busy time, more especially in Brevard and Transylvania county, and this year is no exception. There’s the Olin picnic . . .

That’s being young at heart. Brevard was well repre sented at the World Pre miere of “Jump”, and Gov ernor Scott and celebrities from the movie were on hand to greet t.he crowds, during the afternoon and evening. We lunched with Tom Ligon and Collin Willcox Horne, the stars of the show, and found them to be most charming. Somehow, we had the Im pression that Ligon might, be somewhat of an arrogant kid, but that’s not the case at all. He’s a regular guy, and he does an excellent job in the movie. */>.- ...

One was a semi-nude scene, but it will be shown in Northern movie houses, the film producers told us. Incidentally, “Jump” is cur rently playing here at the Co-Ed theatre. It’s good to see Dr. John Matheson back from Vietnam. During his spare time in that war zone. Dr. Matheson helped to relieve the suffering among the Vietnamese by working at a makeshift dental clinic at a Catholic school. He also train ed a Catholic nun for about a year. During this summer, Dr. Matheson will be working here in Brevard with Dr. Wilburn When you think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S, adv. Davis and Dr. Milton Massey in their Head Start program.

The dejected fisherman, car rying his rod and reel and other fishing equipment* was on his way home minus a single fish. Suddenly his face brightened. Entering the local fish market, he ordered three bass, then put ting down his fishing gear and holding out his hands, he told the proprietor: “Just throw them to me, Mac, so I can honestly say I caught them.” And we also like . . . The owner of a department store asked one of Us clerks what he was doing in the sporting - goods department when he was assigned to the greeting-card counter. “Well, it happened this way,” replied the clerk. “TUs fellow came in for a get.-weli card for his girl who had a broken hip.
