' .. i .m' Scene From Top O’ The HiH By: Jack Kelly This Column comes to you from Washington, D. C., where the weather is hot and sticky, almost as hot as the Po.itics. However, rigl now the hottest thing in own Is the approaching White House wedding of the Chief’s daughter, Lucl. This will be without a doubt, the most glorious wedding Wash ington has ever seen. The coup e at the canter of all the action will have best wishes world at large. Everyone everywhere always wishes the very best to any bride and groom but this wedding sort of symbo ls the timefe in which fwe live. Peop’e all over the Country are getting married earlier than was the custom over recent decades, and Luci Johnson and Pat Nug ent sort of stand forth as representatives of all these youngsters. Even Republi cans are bi-partisan on this deal. * Luci will carry two bridal bouquets. One of them will be left at the foot of the status of St. Agatha, the patros saint of nurses, which is in the National Shrine, and the other bouquet will be, fol'owing the old cus tom, tossed to the brides maids at the White House (Fl'ception. I don’t know whether President Johnson knows it or not but a new Bishop was appointed down Texas-way, and this Bishop used to be Cau-ht by LBJ. Come to think of it maybe that’s how come the gentleman got to be the BishoD. At lea.st It proves that “ecum enlca'ism” is here to stay. Further evidence of the new, or revived, Christian Broth erhood is seen in the recent appointment in Pittsburgh of a Methodist, . Alfred A. Darter, as Director of Insti tutions fjr the Commission for Catholic Charities and Social We.fare for the Dio cese. before w e got back here, my girl and me naturally had to leave BurnsvLle. Even on that rainy Sunday morning, we were sad to leave. Blanche took so many backward g ances at our Top o’ the Hill that she almost wrecked the car. We drove to Peaks of Otter Lodge and sta ,r ed the night. Just to be devi ish, I registered under an as umed name and didn’t tell my good wife. Bhe will be embarrassed when she rea-'s It. The weather faired up af ter we crossed the mountain and it was beautiful all the way to Washington which I no longer regard as home. As we unpacked, Blanche said “Won’t it be wonderful when we make a final pack to leave for Burnsville per manent’y.” Our buying a place In Burnsville mokes me wonder if the various businessmen, Chamber of Commerce so ks and so forth realize that Gordon Bennett is now re sposslble for 32 new sets of people going to Bumsvi le and surrounding area, in cluding Cattail and Mitchell Branch. If it hadn’t been for Gordon Bennett running the Playhouse and bragging on E urns vide upon his re-, turn to Miami there would not have been the first house on Mitchell Branch, because Bennett “sold” Mike Ross on the area, and, In 'turn, Mike sold others. A lot of Cattail psop e also came directly as a resu’t of him. sea, how come us Bur nsvillites don’t grab the Bennetts and make them a real deal to settle in our midst? I know a’l about the Wed nesday afternoon closing of businesses in Burnsville, and I like the idea, but I know a lawyer’s office that was closed at 11:30 a. m. either was closed or Just didn’t answer the phone. Didn’t make anv difference because I phoned him at home ard got everything straightened out. Here’s a closing idea: If the good Ladies of Burns ville, with the assistance of their husbands, care to get a Greeting for best wishes, good luck, long life, much happiness, and so forth to Luci and Pat for their wed ding, and have that Greet ing signed by everyone in Burnsville, clergymen and laymen, white and colored, I guarantee it wl’l be presented to the White House for them. No city or town except Burnsville has thought of this. \ NOW— Savings Bonds Pay 4.15% !

C. recently, marking the ml.l lonth ton of paper pulp to move cut of the port bound for Europe.. This particular siupmenc was headed ) for France, and came from the mill of International Bow ater Paper Corp. in South Carolina. The occasion was notable because there was a time when most of the newsprint consumed by newspapers and publications came from Europe. The United States produced very little. Production of paper In the United States has grown by leap 3 and bounds In the last 20 years or so. But even more significantly, it Is un derstood that the old-time mil s of Europe are turning toward the North American continent.. Several have In vested heaviiy with U. S. and Canadian, companies to make paper here. There is even a prediction that in the next few years there wi’l be even more. Papermen say there is a reason. Europe is running out of trees . North America still has plenty and modern improvements in equipment has made it possib'e to pro duce a high grade product from our trees. Tree farming is under going a boom. too. The mills chew uo a lot of logs fast and it takes plenty of wood to keep the wheels turning. All of which points up an important clue to the future. Efforts must bp made now to keep our reforested. Modern conservation meth ods must be used. Refores tation is important.. Else we may have plenty of pa per rj'lis and no trees for them to chew up. •• # a It Is du’v noted that Char les deGeu’.le, upon returning from his visit to Russia brought with him a Russian g ,f t of a cub bear, which when it is grown may wind ud giving him a Russian bear hug.
