Lions, Guests See Color-Sound Film “Meet North Carolina” At Assembly Inn Monday Night Fun, Dinner, Movie Provide Full Evening For Large Group o Members of the Lions club and their guests were loud in their praise of the new sound-color pic ture, “Meet North Carolina,” which was shown at the Ladies’ night held Monday evening at Assembly Inn, Montreat. Prepared and shown by the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey, the film is now being shown to civic clubs and county schools throughout this area. Attending the meeting was J. Lovell Smith, district man ager of Southern Bell Telephone company, and W. R. Fesperman and C. C. Hope of the Standard Oil company. The Lions came for fun as well as business and the 173 members and guests were hardly settled in their seats before Herb Sanders was on his feet with a motion to punish Bulletin Editor A. W. Mc- Dougle because of an error in the meeting date. In the bill of particulars Mc- Dougle was charged with trying to mislead the Lions by sending out the wrong meeting date. Even though he later mailed post cards correcting the mistake, Herb (Call me Thumbs Down) Sanders roar ed for the kill and asked that due punishment be meted out. “I asked that Lion McDougle be frozen in his job of editor for five years and that he be forbidden to kiss his wife for 60 days,” the prose cutor screamed. At once the room was a bee hive of activity as Lions and Lionesses alike clamored for the floor to second the motion. After the ex citement had subsided, club presi dent 0. E. Leeman recognized W. W. White, who stood ready with a second for the measure. “All in favor of this drastic punishment for our fallen brother let it be known by the proper method,” shouted Sanders. “I” bel lowed the crowd. “Opposed, no.” Amid the silence which followed one “no” was heard. Not being close enough to determine what the source was we are violating a traditional journalistic don’t and aking second hand information. The statements follow: Ronald Finch, first witness .--aid: “I was sitting just to the right of the McDougle table and had an excellent view of the whole (Continued on page eight) Thursday, February 27, 1947., Black Mountain, N.

F. W. Post Will Be Organized At City Hall Tuesday Evening; All Overseas Veterans Eligible Well, Why Not??? It seems that the suggestion made two weeks ago that the American Legion and other public spirited individuals in the community were toying with the idea of providing lights for the athletic field struck a respondent note in the city. Since that time many have voiced their opinion on the matter and all have hearti ly approved. But there seems to be one difference of opinion. About 99 per cent of the folks around town want the field at the grade school lighted instead of the one at the high school. Being strangers in the town, we inquired into the situation with the following results. To quote my informers, the sod on the grade school is better, it’s closer to town and will draw a better crowd; there is a natural seating arrange ment already present at the State street field in the form of the bank which is directly behind the playing field, and the seats could be placed the east side. Thin would pre vent the sun’s shining in the eyes of the spectators as it does now when they sit on the hank on the west side of the high school field. But be that argument as it may, the business men around town, as well as the friends and patrons of the school are definitely interested in lights and seats for the field and many of them want to see them installed in time for softball tins summer. If we had lights we could start the games later and not run into so much trouble by having the players late all the time, one business man said. With lights we could start at 7:30 and this would give the players and spectators time to get home from work and back to the ball field. In case it does become a reality it has been suggested that a Black Mountain Athel lic association be formed to work with the school authori ties in taking care of the lights, upkeep, and other necessary details. At present the entire setap is being investigated and those in charge will make their find ings known at an early date. Dr. Marshbum To Reopea Office o Dr. James A.
