Montreat Will Feature New 1 Tenor July 5 1 Mario Berini, leading new tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Asso ciation, will be heard in perform ance at Anderson auditorium here at 8 o’clock Saturday night, July 5, under the auspices of the Moun tain Retreat Association, of which Dr. J. Rupert McGregor is presi dent. Mr. Berini recently returned from a successful nation-wide tour with the Metropolitan Opera Company. After having scored a triumph with his debut at the Metropoli tan Opera House in the title role of “Faust” on last Thanksgiving Day, the thirty-year-old American tenor went o nto repeat his suc cesses with appearances as Don Jose in “Carmen,” and as Dimitri in “Boris Goudenoff.’ 1 ’ Music cri tics state that these performances have established him in the front rank of the Metropolitan tenor wing. Berini has traveled about a mil lion miles for his opera perform ances and concerts in every coun try in South America except Ar gentina; through Canada, Central America, and the United States. He is the only foreign tenor, ex cept Caruse, to be invited to sing in the Toreo, Mexico City’s fam ous bull fight ring. He appeared there in December 1943. Mario Berini starte das a news boy in Los Angeles. He began his musical career with the San Fran cisco Opera chorus and left there at the suggestion of Martinelli to devote himself seriously to a musical career. He returned to San Francisco as a leading tenor i nthe opera company during the 1946 season. He went to New York in 1936 and subsequently became the leading tenor of Radio City Music Hall. He made his debut with the San Carlo O'pera Com , pany at Radio City Center Thea ter in 1940. Remembering his own newsboy • daps, it is said that Berini spends several hours a week when in New York helping a disabled newsdealer on 57th street to sell newspapers. This led Fred Allen, who lives in the same apartment as Berini, to remark, “Is the Met i ropolitan just a sideline?” His . personality is winning even as his [ voice has brought him far out on the front rank among American • artists. 11. L. BOONE OPENS SHOP AT SWANNANOA H. L. Boone has returned and opened his plumbing and heating plant at Swannanoa, following several years absence during the war years. He has established headquarters in the building next to the post office in Swannanoa.

Guests Have Cool Time At Ice House Party i 0 1 Customers who called the Black 5 Mountain Ice company a few r rjghts ago for service may have' 5 been startled out of their wits c by hearing a voice at the other 2 end of the line shout in their ears: f “Play the ace on the queen! No, * not that one, the queen of hearts!” And then just when the customer was about to hang up and declare that he had dialed the ice company ' and got . . . well, he didn’t know 5 just what he had ... a voice as | nice as you please would break I in with: “Black Mountain Ice company.” In order to ease the minds of those "folks who since that time have been going around looking behind trash cans to make sure they weren’t being followed, the true story has at last been un l covered. The voice you heard giving in structions to a fellow player was not your imagination and it DID come from the ice plant. { One night last week the time , for Mrs. Cyril Huffman to enter , tain her bridge club rolled around , and being unable to leave the plant she decided to hold the club there. The guests were agreeable, the room was “cool I ’, the walls were attractively decorated with motor tools, tarpaulins, army blankets, rubber hose, ice hooks, and a few cakes of ice. The tables were smartly covered with the latest edition of the Black Moun tain NEWS. Between service calls the guests played bridge, talked of the “cool weather” as they buttoned up their fur coats, ate hot dogs and slaw, and topped it off with a freezer full of home-made ice cream. So if you called the ice plant that night you may have talked to Mrs. Huffman or one of her guests, who included Mr. and Mrs. D. O. McDougle, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Jones, Doss Kerlee, Mrs. Charlie Godfrey, and Mrs. Dins more Crawford. —Mr. and Mrs. John Stepp and Mrs Hubert Stepp of Marion, Mr. and Mrs. W. I).

McDougle, member of the organization and extension com mittee of the Rhododendron dis trict, presented the charter to Boy Scout Troop 25 in an impres sive investature ceremony at the Black Mountain First Baptist church Sunday night. The charter was received by Ronald E. Finch, j president of the Lions Club which sponsors the troop. The troop committee composed of Tom Sharp, chairman, Dr. F. H. Richardson, J. L. Potter,-J. G. Northcott, and John Rice, were presented certificates by Mr. Finch.

Young conducted the investature ceremony, at the close of which Mr. Williams awarded each boy with his certificate and tenderfoot badge. The investature was an impres sive candle lighting ceremony. . Upon lighting each candle the dis trict chairman had the boys re peat the scout law which that particular candle represented. Scouts who received their badges included Charles Swayn gim, Jamie Marshburn, Mack Hill, Ossie Nanney, Bobby Goode, Rus sell Rowland, Phillip McMahan, . and Paul Shinton. Baptists Lose Second Time In Two Years Everett Stephenson and his , been treatening all season finally Friendship Chapel mates who have • the high flying Baptist crew, sto broke into the limelight Monday . when they rose up to knock down 2, in a Church Softball league game at the Grammar school field. It was the second loss in two years for the Baptists and threw the race for the first half crown wide open. Now half a game behind Walter Styles and his hard pushing Pres byterians, the 1946 champions will have to beat off the determined bid of the Chapel boys to hold on to second place. Either of the first three teams is now given an even chance to cop the first half title. Stephenson, star hurler for Friendship Chapel, hung the horse collar around the opponents’ col lective necks Monday for five in nings, but hits by Pug Morgan and Medford scored two runs for the Baptists in the sixth. But the damage had already been done and they went out in order in the seventh. After scoring once in the third on a single by Stephenson and a triple by B. Gray, the winners got their big guns working for three in the fourth. Sueessive hits by Carpenter, Pittman, J. Rus sell, and H. Gray spelled ruin for the Baptists. The final run came in the fifth on a walk to Gardner and safeties by B. Fortune and Carpenter. Lineup and scores: BAPTISTS ab R H B.
