THE MARY NORTON FASHION SHOW, held at King’s Inn Tuesday evening for the benefit of Highlands-Cashiers Hospital was so highly suc cessful, and tremendously enjoyable, that everyone who had the pleasure of being pre sent is hoping that it will become an annual event. In addition to providing an even ing of outstanding entertain ment, we understand that our local hospital will receive a sizable sum. JOHN AND GARY PHELAN, owners of King’s Inn, are to be congratulated on the excellent food and service provided for this occasion, and the Mary Norton House of Fashion of Highlands de serves an accolade for making this gala evening possible. The fashions on parade were recently modeled at the Fontainebleau Hotel at Miami Beach by the Miss Universe contestants, and are the most stunning styles imaginable. The m odels in the Highlands Fashion Show, including several local young ladies, were radiantly beautiful. OBITERD1CTUM: Inciden tally, I would like to thank our two young staff photographers, Steve Fairbanks and Kevin Mirek, who made pictures of the show and of all the models. They worked hard, but enjoyed every minute of it. (After all, what young man wwulrin’a enjoy making pics of beautiful girls wearing glamorous clothes?) If any of themodels, their parents, proud husbands or other relatives, would like to have prints of these photos at a nominal fee please notify THE HIGHLANDER Newspaper, giving name, address, number of prints desired and type of dress modeled in Show. BOOMTOWN: From all re ports it seems that the Highlands-Cashiers area is having one of die best seasons in years. We know that there are more people here this year .... lots of newcomers. . . many of them stop by THE HIGHLANDER office praising our little "air-conditioned by nature” town to the skies. Many of these new faces are also casting their eyes around for future vacation or year-round homes or home sites. HIGHLANDS - THE BEAUTIFUL: Did you know that motor travel is said to be the major source of the litter that mars the scenic beauty of America today? Some 64 per cent of the litter-prevention experts recently surveyed by Keep America Beautiful, Inc., report that even trash-abandon ing picknickers do not leave as rtiuch litter behind as do motorists traveling along the highways. Remember- if you are a litter-bug, "the eyes of Highlands are upon you”! If you can't help us keep the Highlands area beautiful, don’t linger any longer. Highlanders are allergic to litter-bugs. FUNNY PAPERS: This is one for the books. I read a few days ago where the Red Lodge High School, in Red Lodge, Montana, has published a new policy handjjook. Included in the rules: “Immoral be havior in the school year will not be tolerated. Any student marrying during the school year may continue to further their education, but they cannot par ticipate in any extra curricular activity.” DEADLINE THOUGHT: Un fortunately, there is always a lot of "flap” in most small towns. Let’s not submit to gossip, or negative, ugly critical things said about us or our neighbors. The truth of the matter is that "flap”, or gossip, is usually NOT the truth of the matter.

As the story was told to us, it seems the two young men, Don T. Caffery, Jr. of Frank lin, Louisiana, and Lt. Ernest | Knight of Jackson, Mississippi, arrived at Whitewater Falls Monday just in time to save the life of another young man. Arriving ahead of other members of their party, which included their grandmother,die two young men heard screams of "Help’' coming from the river below the falls. They lost no time in answering the call, and plunged in to save a young man from drowning. The name of the man was not determined, but he had been fishing when he slipped on a rock and fell into the stream. His wife screamed for help, as she knew her husband could not swim. He was swiftly losing his battle for survival when Caffery and Knight came to the rescue. He was brought out of the river, water was expelled from his lungs, and soon regained consciousness. The Rescue Squad from Rosman arrived on the scene in answer to a sum mons, and he was carried to the nearest hospital to recu perate from his close call with death. CASHIERS METHODIST BAZAAR The Cashiers United Methodist Church will hold a bazaar on Friday, August 16 at the Cashiers Community Center. The bazaar opens at 10 a.m. and sandwiches, cake and coffee will be available for lunch. Collin Wilcox Movie Showing Here Aug. 22 The movie "The Name of the Game is Kill,” which co stars Collin Wilcox Horne with Susan Strasberg and Jack Lord, will be shown at the Galax Theatre here on Thursday,Aug ust 22. Collin, who with her husband, Geoffrey, and four children, is currently occupying her grand mother’s residence on Billy Cabin Mountain, will make per sonal appearances before and between showings, and will sign autographs. There will be four showings during the afternoon and evening at 3:20, 5:25, 7:30 and 9:30, with a percentage of the pro ceeds going into the Jack H. Wilcox Memorial Fund. The F und was established after the recent death of Collin's father, a founder of Highlands Com m unity Theatre, and will be used for much-needed capital improvements at HCT. It was Highlands Community Theatre that Collin at age 9 played her first role on stage. At that time her father was Town Clerk of Highlands and Collin was an elementary stu dent at Highlands School. Later, Collin studied philosophy, psy chology and drama three years at the University of Tennessee, where Mr. Wilcox was a socio logy and economics professor, and from there went on to study acting at the Goodman School of Drama in Chicago and at the New York Actors Studio. In New York she met actor Geoffrey Horne whom she married. Her acting career has in cluded a number of Braodway plays, numerous performances on leading television shows, and a previous movie, "To Kill A Mockingbird.” In commenting on “The Name of the Game is Kill," Collin was emphatic in her statement that she definitely does not recommend it for children. “The photography is beautiful and the performances are splendid,” she said, “but it is strictly adult entertain ment.” As a gesture of sentiment, Collin plans to place a small plaque with the name "Jack H. Wilcox" on the back of a certain seat in Highlands Com m unity Theatre. “He always sat in one particular seat while he watched me rehearse," she recalled. Geoffrey and Collin plan to remain in Highlands until the first of the year when the film ing of “Catch 22” begins under the direction of Mike Nichols who has called Collin “the best actress in Holly wood.” Both Geoffrey and Collin appear in the movie and filming willtakeplace in Mexico and Rome, Italy.

Collin tVilcox Horne Staff Photo by Kevin Mirek Youths Are Apprehended In Mailbox Destruction Three Florida youths were apprehended last Friday night after "blowing up” a total of 16 or more rural mail boxes in the Highlands area, a postal executive reported this week. A type of fire-cracker had been used in blowing up the boxes, which were situated on four thfferent roads out of High lands — the Dillard Road, the Franklin Road, the Walhalla Road, and the Horse Cove Road. Most of the damage was ac complished Thursday night of last weeK, but a return visit to Horse Cove on F riday night where more boxes were blown up proved to be the youths’ undoing. Horse Cove resident Jim Townley was instrumental in capturing the youths, phoning the police in Highlands and following the offenders' car into town where they were arrested. The boys also had in their possession a Highlands "city limits” sign which they had Artist Exhibits The Highlands Community Theatre was honored and pri vileged during its recent pro duction of THE ODD COUPLE, to have a lobby exhibit by George Snow Hill. Mr. Hill is an established artist from Saint Petersburg who has had a wood land summer retreat in Highlands for the past seven years. His wife Polly, is also a fine artist who showed some of her etchings at the Threatre last year. The range of Mr. Hill’s talent is remarkable. He is a master of colour and technique, and his vivid imagination and sly humour shine through the can vasses. From comments made by spectators it is quite evident that even though one is only an amateur in Art appreciation, there is no question of the appeal and pleasure-giving qualities of Mr. Hill’s work. The University of North Car olina School of Pharmacy is developing a cooperative med icinal chemistry training and research program with the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies. taken from the Horse Cove Road. For the offense of removing the sign the youths were bound over to District Court for trial, according to Magistrate Ted Crunkleton. They were turned over to the Federal Marshall on Saturday to appear before the Federal Commissioner in Brevard on 16 different counts of mailbox damage. The youths were living in the Peeks Creek area between Highlands and Franklin. They were John Norman Kleinschmidt, age 17; Gary Donald Moore, age 18; and Robin Edward French, age 18; all of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Highlands School Opens August 30 W.C.

Firemen’s Barbecue Saturday This Saturday, August 17, is the date for the annual barbecue held by the Highlands Fire De partment. Children will be given rides on the new fire truck, and those persons who have not yet seen the new fire station will have an opportunity to do so. Beginning around noon, barbecue will be served at foe new fire station throughout foe remainder of foe day—or until supply is exhausted. Drawings for foe three $100 Savings Bonds are scheduled for 2, 4, and 6 p.m. Third Play Great Success; Fourth Play In Making Judging from the enthusiasm of Saturday’s audience, THE ODD COUPLE was a wise choice for the third play of the 1968 season of Highlands Community Theatre. There was much laughter over the antics of George Schmitt, Ken Davis, Russell Eaton and his son Mike, as Poker players trying to avert a suicide attempt, adjust to a germ free atmosphere, and in cidentally, to play a little poker. The two daffy British dames in search of excitement got a hand for their efforts to make conversation with the uncom fortable and willing com panion for the evening, which resulted in a free for aU crying spree for all involved. Bob Dupree and G. Sam San filippo were exceUent foils for each other as the two mis mated, utterly opposite types trying to share an apartment. Their lines were extremely clever, and they played with vigor and verve. Mr. Lillie Speaks At Rotary Meet The Highlands Rotary Club held its regular weekly meeting Tuesday at 7 p.m. There were 14 visiting Rotarians and 2 guests in attendance. The local members were present with the exception of four who were involved in the highlands Hos pital Campaign Fund dinner and Fashion Show held at the King’s inn at the same hour. Among them was President V.W. (Bill) McCall. Fred Stewart presided. The program was brought by Mr. Clias. D. Lillie, who has leased a cottage in the Mirror Lake Section for the summer. He is also a Rotarian of many years standing and his Home Club is known as the Harris Memorial Rotary Club because the Founder of Rotary spent his boyhood days in its vicinity. After his retirment 5 years ago Mr. and Mrs. Lillie moved to Clearwater, Fla. and his talk was about a rather unusual pro ject there knownas “TheSenior Citizens Service Corporation”, a non-profit Corporation organ ized and operated expressly for the Senior Citizen, both men and women. Its members come from many walks of life and income levels, social exper ience and religious and cultural affiliations. It furnishes many services and social activities as well as furnishing an outlet for those with avocations and hobbies in the making of varied articles. They are sold thru their own Gift Shop which hand les articles made only by the hands of their members and before any article can be dis played for sale it must pass an inspection committee, com posed of members, as to quality, acceptability and price. The proceeds from the sale of an item goes to the maker except for a reasonable percentage re tained by the Shop for its operation and its items are varied and many. The out standing feature is that the Shop is not only self sustaining but returns a small profit to the treasury for extension work. It appears to be a most inter esting project and is worthy of the study by other localities. District 31-A Lions The iirst Cabinet Meeting of District 31-A for the new year will be held at Bailey’s Cafe teria, Westgate, Asheville, N. C., on Sunday, August 18, 1968, at 1:00 P.M.

Ramsey, Etowah Lions Club, will outline his objectives in Lionism for the year and make official announcements of all service committees ap pointed to work with him and the Cabinet during the year. District Governor Ramsey has announced the following Lions will serve as members of The set was well designed, and the Prop people did a superb job of providing the assorted snacks served on stage, as well as providing the contrasting “neat” and “sloppy” appear ances of the room. Bob Fore man, as usual was prompt and effective in his job of sound and lights. Now the stage is Uttered with lumber and flats which somehow, miraculously, in just a few day’s Ume, are assimi lated and painted and become a new home for new actors. The next, and last, play of the year will be Herb Gard ner’s engrossing version of the life of an unemployed television writer with his young ward and nephew. As the curtain goes up, Hurray’s one room apartment tells you that he is an origin al. As unmade as its bed, it is cluttered with filing cab inets, old magazines and newspapers, a trumpet on a chair, radios all over the place. Murray is in colloquy with the 12 year old nephew who is ob viously the responsible member of the menage, and is trying to talk Murray into looking for a job. The action is enriched and complicated by the arrival of two Social workers intent on getting the boy out of such an unsuitable environment. A THOUSAND CLOWNS is the title of the play and it offers a thousand laughs as the plot unrolls and you meet some zany television characters. A THOUSAND CLOWNS wiU begin its four day run August 29th. Mark the date on your calendar. You wiU meet a new Show face that you wouldn’t want to miss. the Cabinet during the year: Region 1 Deputy District Governor Boyd Sossamon, Sylva, N. C.
