Chapel « Monday, August 25 i Hosiery Mill vs. Baptists Tuesday, August 26 Methodists vs. Ridgecrest Friday, August 29 Fr. Chapel vs. Presbyterians Council Adepts Budget, Sets Tax Rate The council adopted a budget | and set the tax in a special meet- j ing at the city hall Tuesday night.! Albert H. Blake, C. P. A. of Ashe- j ville and town auditor, compiled the budget. Figures as adopted by the city fathers show that the total expen ses for the fiscal year will amount to $40,770.96. This will be met by a tax rate of $1.75 per hundred, six cents of which will go toward the upkeep of the public library. “By living within the budget and paying as you go, you should manage to keep out of debt this year,” the auditor told the mayor and board. “Pay every bill at the end of each month so that there will be no outstanding debts,” he advised. As the library tax should pro duce at least $50.00 per month, the board decided to mail a check for that amount to the library head at the beginning of each month. For the first time in history the park department spent less than the budget called for. The aldermen and mayor praised the work of J. G. Woodard, recent addition to the Black Mountain police department, and announced that a motor grader will go over all the city streets at regular in tervals during the winter and sum mer.

W. San ders have meant to Blue Ridge, to the Y. M. C. A., and to the com munity was the theme at the an nual banquet of the Southern area YMCA summer school held Fri day evening at Blue Ridge. At tending were secretaries of the YMCA, guests, and officers. Hugh Robinson, state YMCA secretary of Atlanta, Georgia, served as J toastmaster. Mr. and Mrs. Sand ! ers have served at Blue Ridge for 29 years. Others on the program included Dr. C. R. Comfort of Louisville, who pronounced the invocation, Frank Dillion, chairman of the summer school and general secre tary of the YMCA at Louisville, i who introduced the guests, Mrs. ! Ruby Taylor Sanders of Murfrees boro, Tennessee, who directed the string ensemble, and T. P. Pear man, chairman of the World Youth Fund of the Southern area, who made the address of the evening. The high point of the evening came when Dr. W. D. Weatherford • made the speech of appreciation and presented Mr. and Mrs. San ders with a plaque to commemorate the occasion. Telling of the first time he had the pleasure of meet ing the Sanders, Dr. Weatherford spoke of the courage of Mr. San ders in the face of discouragement during the years, of his friendli ness and interest in young people, ' and of his fine sense of humor. ! IHe told of Mrs. Sanders’ beauty, ' of her voice and experience in mu sic that has added so much to the community of Blue Ridge. Dr. Weatherford said in part: “During the First World War, I was conducting a series of train ing schools for the secretaries who were to be workers in the Army and Navy camps. In the course of these eighteen schools of about 150 men each, th&re arose a need for a trained cashier and book keeper. Dr. W. W. Alexander, the personnel director of the South eastern Military Region of the Y. M. C. A., said he had just the man, whom he sent to Blue Ridge. “When Mr. Sanders appeared, he was very thin and spare- —look ing as if he weighed less than 100 pounds. His wife was his redeem ing feature. She was a charming, cultured young woman —a well trained musician who ever since has been one of Blue Ridge’s loyal supporters and helpers. “Soon everyone came to recog nize that this thin little man was not little in capacity for friendli ness. He always had a flow of good humor and good jokes. He could tell an old joke so well that you almost thought it was new. “He was also past master at knowing people and calling them by name. He so easily formed ac quaintances that someone said of him that he would not be in the presence of the desert Sahara for thirty minutes before he called it Sally. ' i-i • “Another quality which made him invaluable to me and to Blue Ridge was his scrupulous honesty. As a man handling the cost of two going institutions, Blue Ridge and the Y. M. C. A. Graduate School, which held its summer quarter at Blue Ridge, there was necessity for rigid care that there was no mixing of accounts. I told Herbert that some day someone would raise the question as to whether the accounts of these two institu tions were not confused or juggled. Sure enough, Mr. R. H. King, the ' regional secretary of the YMCA. r raised this exact question. I in ;vitf d him to bring a committee to study the books of the two insti tutions. They could not find a sin gle instance of mixing of accounts, although there was constant ex | (Continued on Page 5)
