Brady's BLARNEY By A Brady Called J. P. I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that this column has been goofing off the last couple of weeks just because it hasn't ap peared in print. The truth is, the last two issues of the paper have been so crowd ed there was no room for amblin's such as this, with the result that each i was tossed into the melting pot? which is where they probab ly belonged in the first place. And now to more worldly things. The wife and I took our annual trip to Grandfather Mountain over the week-end for the annual professional-amateur camera clin ic held on the mountain and in Linville Carvens. As usual, any number of things happened. For example: I had two flat tires between Sylva and Asheville. The first happened on Main Street in Norman Holland and family, of Asheville, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones, Jr., of Sylva, and Mrs. Sara Bowers and Roy Holland, of Toccoa, Ga. There were sixty persons pres ent. Sylva, and, fortunately, I was able to qiiickly turn into a filling sta tion. I showed off my collection of rubies and sapphires to the at tendant while he put on my spare. On our way again I lightly re marked to my wife and Julia Moody (my entry in the "Miss Carolinas Press Photographer" contest) how amusing it would be if I had another flat and no spare to use. Ha, ha! Just at the city limits of Asheville I started sweat ing when a tell-tale dragging started in the left front tire. When I pulled into the in-laws' home it was flat. Taking turns, my father in-law and I pumped the leaking tire back up with an old timey hand pump (5,000 strokes to the pound) and I jumped in and lit out for a recapping place where my credit is still good. About two hours and two new tires later we were on our way again. Even though Grandfather is an annual trip for us, It always man ages to end up as a spur-of-the moment thing and we wind up in the resort town without reserva tions. And, when We got there,1 this time accommodations were practically nil. Sleeping in the car isn't my idea of a vacation, so we accepted the only room we could find. It was in a small motel and we shared a bathroom with a vsemi-intelligent couple on the other side. They were semi-intelli gent because they had sense enough to lock the door on our side when they were using the bathroom, but not enough to un lock it when they left. So, we were locked out of the bathroom for two days and became close friends with a filling station operator down the road a piece. I found that you can get by in a station with as little as one gallon of gas. After the first day my gas tank was too full to accept more and I started buying candy bars. I plan to make reservations well in ad vance next year; and there won't be a connecting bath either. To dodge "tourist prices"; about a half dozen of us ate our meals at a mysterious little restaurant outside Linville. At any hour of the day or night (we were there at all hours) the parking lot in front of the restaurant was pack ed almost to capacity. Inside, how ever, we seldom found more than a half dozen of the two dozen tables in use. A floating crap i game, maybe? or some profitable bootlegging? or . . . At the above mentioned res taurant, the juke box appeared capable of rendering only one tune. We stuffed it with nickels for other music but the only thing that would come out (in window shattering volume) was "You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog", sung ( ? >'? by Elvis Presley.

The manager, obvious ly an Elvis fan, scowled everytime I suggested setting fire to the jukt ? box and/or Elvis. On Grandfather, during the se lection of "Miss Carolina Press Photographer", I established some- ] thing of a record by shooting 64 j pictures on a 12 exposure roll of 1 film. "Some people like to bird ] watch," I explained wisely, "byt I j like to girl watch." To which the wife replied for all to hear: "You'd ' better start watching this girl for a change . . jpb A load of tourists sitting in a local restaurant had a good laugh the other day. I just happened to overhear what prompted the laughter. One of them comment ed on the "strange looking people walking up and down the street". Everyone at the table thought that was just too cute. Everyone but me. And, of course, I wasn't at their table and wasn't supposed to be in on their little joke. Since they started it about "strange looking people" I con centrated on an appraisal of them. I arrived at the conclu sion that the laughter had been misdirected. The good woman (a point of debate since her mustache sug gested otherwise) who authored the "strange looking people" comment that provoked the laughter was so broad in the beam I immediately tabbed her as the lead battlewagon in "Task Force 59". She lapped over both sides of her chair a good four inches. She also was wearing high heel | shoes and red anklets. At the head table was a man, i presumably her husband. He, like his mate, had a mustache. I de elded it looked like a stomped-out ? brush fire His ears were unusually large, too ? "looks like a taxi cab backing down an alley with both doors open," I chuckled. I over looked the fact he picked his teeth with the nail of his little finger. Another woman of some 30 odd years I figured to be a daughter of the older couple. She, too, wore shorts. But, unlike her mother, she had enough room in the seat to carry the family laundry. <1 re called the old joke about the girl who was so thin that when she drank tomato juice folks thought she was a thermometer.) If she j had stubbed her toe the makeup j on her face would have chipped off like plaster from a wall. And now the fourth person ] Surely, he must be her husband. An anemic little character puff ing frantically on a cigarette.) Henpecked ? answers '"Yes, dear" like he's afraid she's going to slap him winding. Last, but by no means least, ; was "Junior", the dirty-faced ur chin of the young couple. What : an uncouth little begger he was; the whiny type who had to be fed and coddled along. And there they sat, laughing at "strange looking people" walking down the street. New Church Officials New officials of tin- Franklin Carson Methodist Churches^ will assume their duties at the morn ingservice Sunday, when the pas tor, the Rev. S. B. Moss, will recognize all the church officers, those whose terms have not ex pired as well as the new ones. i Meanwhile, the Carson church, by vote of :ts own congregation, has taken on new status.
