I received a letter from Carlos Rogers last week taking me to task for, as he says, "trying to make political capital out of the Hosiery Factory we are all so happy to get." He implies that we got the mill despite the Commissioners rather than partly because of their help. I offer these two facts to support my contention that the commissioners were helpful in bringing the mill here. Official* of the Burlington Mills Com pany stated that one of their reasons for locating here was because of the fine cooperation they received from the county officials here. The second (in disputable fact is that the com missioners had so managed the affairs of the county that they were able to make available on short notice $10,000.00 to help bring the mill here. Mr. Rogers Intimates that those who underwrote the work of the commissioners and those who made contributions felt that the commissioners should not have been commended for their work.

Blankidy-Blank Asheville TV ~ ~ ? " ? "" ~ ? _ y p_ Bf?dv ? As much I hesitate to admit it, I was actually forced into buy ing (financing, should we say) a television set. Of course, I use the word "forced" not in the sense of hav ing my arm twisted or my life threatened, but in a pschological way. To be blunt about the whole cock-eyed deal. I suddenly found that I was becoming something of a social leper by not having one. But this didn't bother me half as much as realizing that, with out a television set, I was slowly being forced entirely out of con versations with my friends. For example: In the course of my morning coffee <14th cup of the day) with some of the rising young brains of the town recently, this somewhat gregarious and gar rulous newsman had the unpleas ant feeling that the world was turning and news was being made without his knowledge. These coffee chums, instead of discussing the comics and what appeared on the front page of the daily press, kept going into mild hysterics over such unfunny ( to me i names as "ol' Sid Caesar", '"Red Buttons' and a number of other unfamilar names and sit uations. This stuff just whirled over my head in big question marks and, although there were three of them in the booth, I all of a sudden became lonely. The only Caesar I was familiar with was an emperor and if there was anything hyster ical about red buttoris I failed to catch the humor of the situation. So there I sat. And they kept laughing and saying "and do you remember when he did" this and that. And I kept ^sitting and won dering. And then it dawned on me: it was TV that was taking my friends from the warm fireside of my friendship and turning me out in the cold. I gave a great deal of thought to this for several weeks as my friends moved further away con versationally, caught in a storm of "Howdy Doody", "Dragnet", and "Mr. Peepers" and "those good-looking chorus girls". But it wasn't this kind of thing that put me in the market for a. TV. It was because I couldn't jet mad along with the rest of my TV-viewing friends. Yes, I said mad; mad about the new TV sta At . . .

I was walking down the street one day when a friend - well call him Mr. Z-angrily informed me: "That %8]?-*'](lb new Ashe ville TV station isn't even com ing in over here." "Really," t said, acting like I knew all about that 5%?l'**l[??? station over in Asheville, when really I didn't know what he was talking about. "Why doggone it all," Mr. Z raved, "I get channels 2, 5. and 11 1 out of Atlanta just using my kid's tricycle and an old umbrella for an aerial." 'No," I said in mock horror. "Yeah!", he spit nastily, "and that *l$$lb'/? Asheville station is so weak you couldn't pick it up if you had the Empire State Buildins in your back yard." "Gosh," I gasped. "The bums," he answered, walk ing off. And then I got to thihking. Why, I couldn't even go around making nasty cracks about a *S? Asheville TV station for not beam ing full power out this way be cause I didn't even own a TV set. So, I went out and financed one.
