C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. editorial A locker plant for the community has long been one of the desires of those who have been and are interested in civic welfare and improvement. Now that the Black Mountain Frozen Food Locker Com pany, Inc., has been organized and construction actually begun, that dream seems much closer to realization than ever before. The locker plants that have been built in various towns have proved to be of greatest value to the com munities. They provide service and convenience in processing and storing meats, vegetables, and fruits, at a cost economical enough to be within the reach of all. That the new enterprise should have the support and best wishes of all of us goes without saying. It behooves each and every person in this Valley to get behind this project and push it to the fullest extent, lending whatever assistance necessary to make this another successful enterprise for this community. ★ * RIDGECREST . . . . . .

STYLES ★ * (More than a year ago l wrote an article about the face. A num ber of people have wanted copies of the poem which 1 quoted in the article. In going through my files, I have found that particular “Meditation.” I am re-writing the article in order that those of you who want the poem may have it in its context.) As a general rule, man’s face reveals his character and per sonality. It is by the face that our inward feelings are made known to others. Love, hatred, desire, dis like, joy, grief, confidence, des pair, courage, cowardice, admira tion, contempt, pride, modesty, cruelty, compassion, and various other affections are shown in one’s face. “The countenance,’’ as one phrases it, “is a crystal, wherein the thoughts and affections, other wise invisible, appear; and is a natural sign known to all.” Men and women think of and give a great deal of attention to the appearance of the face. —for which we should be commended. But we should also remember that our face, every hour of the day, is giving forth a message to the world. “You don’t have to tell How you live each day, You don’t have to say If you work or you play. A tried, true barometer Serves in the place, However you live, It will show in your face. The false, the deceit that You bear in your heart, Will not stay inside Where it first got a start. For sinew and blood Are a thin veil of lace, What you wear in your heart, You wear in your face. If your life is sunshine, If for others you live, For not what you get. But how much you cun give; If you live close to God In his infinite grace, You don’t have to tell it, It shows in your face.” Have you ever noticed the dif ference in the face of a person who has been transformed from a life of sin to that of a Christian ? We should never allow the new ness of salvation to fade from our faces. SPENCER’S RETURN Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Spencer returned Friday from a visit with friends and relatives in Indianap olis and Greenwood, Indiana. They own and operate Spencer Pines. While away Mr. and Mrs. Spencer attended ladies’ night at the Greenwood Lions club, the Greenwood Lions club, the railway mail association gathering and a square dance at Indianapolis, and the golden wedding anniver sary of a friend.

April 20, 1948 Dear Mr. Editor: Black Mountain and this com munity will be better off without industry of any kind. The interest ed reader who wrote you last week, Mr. Editor, to ask about the industry committee of the Cham ber of Commerce is by his own admission a newcomer to our town. If he had been here longer and had seen the beauty of this section during the spring and summer or, in fact, any time of of year, he would know’ why we who have lived here make the above statement. There are many who would turn our fair valley into a stream of furnaces and smokestacks in w’hich the smoke would all but hide the Cragies from morning till night. May this never happen. With the factories would come all that goes with communities of that kind,beauty hidden by smoke and labor unrest. Now we have none of that and may we never have it. It seems strange that there are so many people who can move in to a community and change the entire situation overnight—or so they believe. Scattered around the United States are thousands of mill villages which offer oppor tunity for those who desire this kind of existence. This being so then why change Black Mountain from a religious and cultural spot of beauty which affords pleasure yearly to more visitors, probably than any town of like size in the United States, to a village of smokestacks and standardized homes? We like our town as it is. The chamber of commerce is right in wanting it to remain the same. May it never change. A resident of Black Mountain Who has lived here for more than a year. VISIT MRS. STINCHCOMB Lt. Mary Frances Tapp from Fort Bragg and Raeford, Lt. Martha Mayfield from Fort Bragg and Cedar Towm, Ga., and Lt. Frances Haywood from Fort Bragg and Mt.
