C. Brady's BLARNEY By A Brady Called J. P. The wife is currently on a casserole kick at our house. Anything that will support cheese on its top soon finds it self in the dish and cooking in the oven. Nothing, not even week-old left overs, ip safe. "What gives with this casserole kick?" I ventured at the table the other night, after fighting off the urge through about four casserole meals in a row. "You mean the 'budget kick'," j she replied haughtily. "If you'd make enough to feed us I would n't have to use my ingenuity. . . "Ingenuity!" "Yes, ingenuity," she continued as if I hadn't even spoken. "Cas eroles are nourishing, filling, and very economical. . . "So is garbage . . ". . . and they're easy to tlx on these hot days," she concluded. "I'll say easy to fix. Looks to me like you Just empty the relrig- 1 I erator and then cover the mess j with cheese." "Well," she said angrily, "you ! seem to be thriving on them from I the looks of that layer of fat | hanging over your belt." "That was a very unkind re- 1 mark and you've cut me to the j quick," I fought back feebly, "and that's not fat, it's undeveloped muscle!" She drove the barb home: "Why I don't you admit you've got a j spare tire around your middle and let it go at that." "If it was spare you'd have it trimmed off and in a casserole dish topped with cheese," was my triumphant rejoinder. "Not a bad idea," she decided menacingly, poking her knife to ward my midriff, "but lard like that lends itself more to tomato j sauce than cheese."

"You say the sweetest things," she complied, putting down the knife. 1 Jpb | I keep hearing tnrough "the grapevine" that folks are finding some good rubies at the Cowee Ruby Mines. Carrol Gibson relayed a mess age the other day that a young girl, Nancy McGinnes, found a pigeon blood of about 35 carats in the rough. She's from Chester- j town, Md. Proof that the mines are a top drawing card is the fact that there are many "repeaters" a mong the hundreds digging for the stones. One family, we hear, has been 'down here at three diff erent times. There's been some gripping on the part of visitors that they're being sold stones that aren't worth anything by young boys hanging around the diggings. My only comment to this is to paraphrase Branum's classic state- , ment, "There's one born every minute." Anyone unfamiliar with stones should have more sense | than to buy the proverbial "pig in a poke." I'd like to add, too, that to my knowledge, none of the mine owners are guilty of this de ception. jpb Ranger Bill Nothstein was tell ing me the other day about a "monster" brown trout that waged a 70 minute battle with an angler and won. This action between the fisher man and the trout 'the ranger said it was more than two feet i long) took place in the Nantahala I River at Calloway Stand in the 1 Standing Indian area. A light leader and equipment prevented the angler from taking much starch out of the trout and the fish finally went to the bot tom to rest. The fisherman <a man from Waynesville ? he didn't recall the name) in desperation decided to wade into the hole and get it. Pate, however, was on the side of the trout. The fisherman got the leader tangled In his boot and It broke. The ranger is sure, though, that the man will be back for a re turn engagement. Jpb My thanks to J. W. Gustaw for a good laugh. Mr. Gustaw, of Long Island. N. Y., sent me a clip from a New York paper of an outhouse with a TV aerial. The outlines under the pic, ?which, incidentally was taken in North Wilkesboro, noted that ". . . some people wouldn't miss their favorite TV programs for anything." Jpb Hear that Gatlingburg, over in our neighboring state of Tenn essee, is cashing in on the ruby mines here. In recent weeks I've heard that Mrs. Picklesimer Succumbs Sunday In Washington News has been received by rela tives of Mrs. S. B. Picklesimer of her death in a hospital in Gold bar, Wash., on Sunday. Mrs. Picklesimer, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Dilly Jores. of Macon County, went to Wash- 1 ington last spring to live with her j brother. Sam Jones. Funeral services will be con ducted at Dryman's Chape: here, | but the date and hour of the fu neral have not been announced, pending the arrival of the body from Goldbar. Hiker Discovers Nantahalas A1 Moore, hiking director at Camp Mondamin, near Henderson ville, finds the Nantahala Moun tains the most beautiful he has ever seen, and the view from Al bert Mountain the finest in the Nantahalas, he said Tuesday. Mr. Moore, who is a nephew of ; Frank A. Starrette, of Franklin, was hiking with fi group of b'.ys from Dick's Gap, Ga? to Wesser Creek. The group camped at White Oak Bottoms, ran out of bread, and Mr. Moore came Into town for supplies. He makes his home in New Or leans. where he teaches in the Metairie Park Country Dav School. Bethel Community Slates Meet Tonight The Bethel Rural Community Development Organization will meet tonight (Thursday' at 7:30 at the Bethel Methodist Church. This is the regular monthly meeting, which was postponed last week because of the revival. All members are requested to be present because of Important business. Gatlingburg motel operators are telling visitors that Franklin doesn't have any accomodations, with the result that they're pre registering visitors 'paid in ad vance. of course), who are then forced to return to Gatlinburg for the night after a day at the | ruby mines. "Isn't there something we can do to stop that?" I've been asked. | Well, yes and no. In the first place, all's fair in | love, war, and tourists ? and we've got to admit that those in Gatlin burg are using their noggins to j keep business. The job of counteracting this I kind of thing, however, could turn ; into a big one. Appears to me that | the only way to lick 'em is to 1 flood the tourist byways with more and more literature on the ruby mines and drift out of the situation in a natural way. Baptist Bible Class Meets With Ex-Sheriff The Alex Moore Bible Class of the First Baptist Church met last Sunday at the home of ex-3 criff Moore for their lesson. Mr. Moore read the scripture and the Rev. W. N. Cook taught the lessor.. Mr. Moore, teacher of th? class for a number of years, ha:> be::n unable to attend since January because of illness. He recently spent several weeks in tat hos pital. but is now able to be at his home.
