FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER
Bj
EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON
We always enjoy the Fourth
of July observance.
Maybe it’s because we like
to see flags flying and hear
band music playing.
Anyway, we feel that It Is
a time when people seem to
show that they like the
American way of life.
If you were uptown, you
saw Old Glory flying in front
of every business establish
ment, and if you listened to
WPNf, you heard the Stars
and Stripes Forever playing
several times.
We feel the July 4th oc
casion serves to awaken an
awareness that America is
the greatest country in the
world, however, we’re con
cerned that this apparent
love is only shown on holi
days.
A summer visitors asked us
yesterday, “How’s business in
Brevard?”
Before we could answer, he
said that he had visited in sev
eral sections of the country
lately and that there was a mild
recession everywhere.
We told him that this was
not true of Brevard.
In fact, one of the managers
of a large store here told us
over the weekend that Friday
was the biggest day in the his
tory of his firm.
Another said that last week
broke all records.
It’s true that we have a lot
of summer visitors this year,
but when they are gone, we
have more than 600 college stu
dents. So business is not alto
gether seasonal in Brevard.
We notice that these mer
chants who are merchandising
and advertising are doing quite
well for themselves!
If your radio has been cut
ting lip lately while listening
to WPNF, it. hasn’t been your
set.
We’ve had lightning prob
lems at the Radio Station.
Chief Engineer Leon
Southerland has been work

One bolt from out of the

dollars worth of damage, but

Hollywood
INEW YORK —Joan. Craw
ford, Super Star, lives on the
22nd floor of a mid-Manhat
tan building in an apartment
with such huge windows that
the view ot
the New York
skyline looks
like a m u r a 1
hungf there
just for her.
The interior

whites and beige, accented
with bitter greens. In addition
to the large living room, there
is a full-sized dining robm,
three bedrooms, kitchen and
pantry, and an office with
several TV and film scripts
visible oh the desk.
A queen could be happy liv
ing here. In a manner of
speaking, one really does—one
of the greatest of the former
movie queens.
Today, cooking Sunday
branch for an old friend from
Hollywood, she is not in a
queenly mood. The moderate
ly long reddish hair la pulled
back tight and held by a bar
rette. She Is wearing no make
up except lipstick so the
freckles show plainly across
her cheeks and nose. Hie dress
is a buttoned-up yellow smock.
For breakfast we are having
huevas rancheros, sausages,
herb-spiced salad greens, and
hot breads. Throughout the
apartment Is the month-water
ing aroma of the simmering
hot sauce of tomatoes, onions,
green and red peppers, and
powdered chili she has been
cooking all morning to spread
over the eggs.
“Only a couple of dames like
us who were bom in Texas
could eat this food for break
fast and not die,” she said.
She is just back from three
quick toed trips as ambassa
dress for the soft drink com
pany that pays her a whop
ping salary for representation
and is “very nice” about giv
ing her time off to make a
TV show or film when a script
she likes comes along.
She isn’t too happy about
the ones on her desk, the
stories she is reading now:

filled up.
'Tm writing: a hook, or;
rather dictating: one into a
tape machine, which Audrey1
Davenport will put together |
for me. It’s titled *My Way
of life,’ meaning more my
philosophies than, an actual
biography. My life story has
been told over and over. My.
thoughts about life are newer."
And when she is not dictat
ing the tapes, she’s off and
running on soft drink busl-.
ness. She reports gleefully
that many funny things hap
pen at the openings of new
bottling factories and at ban
quets.
Recently, in a small town in
the South, with herself and
other dignitaries on the grand
stand, an emcee stepped forth
and told the assembled crowd
that first on the program was
the singing of "The Star
Spangled Banner.” dust as the
vocalizing burst forth, some
one miscued and also started
the commercial theme of
Fepsl-Cola—loudly.
"And it came out like this,"
giggled Miss C.—“Oh, say can
you see ... you’ve got a lot
to live... by the dawn’s early;
light ... Pepsi’s got a lot to
give.’ What did I do? X
HOWLED!”
One thing the lady is not
amused about is the slackened
pace of the Hollywood she,
once loved and reigned over
with the Gable* Garbos and1
other greats. i
"My heart aches fbr all the i
fine actors who^urp being de-,

because of conditions beyond:
their control. .Ill be everlast-j
ingly grateful that I came'
along when I did in. the great
old days, Someone once said
that half the battle of achieve
ment is beings there at the
right time. I’d say it is 99 per
cent of the battle.
"But as grateful as I am, X
do not live in the past—you
don’t see any photographs of
me as a glamour girl around
here, do you?;—because I don’t
have to. I am very fulfilled by
the present, I am a happy per
son because I am a busy per-i
son.”
At Uxe moment, the business
on hand was to get that hot
sauce poured over those morn

While we have had onr
problems, the Franklin Radio
Station was knocked off the
air recently by lightning, and
it was two weeks before they
were back on.
Weatherwise, we are off to
a bad start this summer.
The rains hampered the
crowds at the annual Olin
Fourth of July picnic, but those
attending had a big time in
spite of the slight drizzles.
Would you believe that they
ate 900 dozen cups of ice
cream?
Drank 350 gallons of lemon
ade?
And consumed 5,000 boxes of
popcorn?
They did!
Have you noticed the plant
ers in the business section of
Brevard?
How could you miss them?
The ladies of the local
Garden clubs are to be highly
commended for putting them
out and keeping them water
ed.
They certainly add a splash
of beauty, and it’s surprising
how t.be flowers continue to
grow and to bloom.
“A thing of beauty is a
joy forever!”
Someone told us he saw this
one in a magazine:
He: “Whisper those three
little words that will make me
walk on air.” She: “Go hang
yourself!”

beauty; play it falsely, and It
will give forth ugliness.
