BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS ★ ★ A PROGRESSIVE AND GROWING NEWSPAPER IN A PROGRESSIVE AND GROWING COMMUNITY ★ * Vol. 3, No. -IS Mrs. Pahk Gives Report On Korea Mrs. Induk Pahk, native Korean lecturer, spoke at the Black Moun tain Methodist church at the Sun jay morning service on “What It Means to Me to Be a Christian” and in the evening under the aus pices of the United Council of Church Women, on “Economic and Political Conditions of Ko rea.” Mrs. Pahk’s charming per sonality and her brilliance as a speaker won her over completely to the congregations. She is proud to be a Christian. When Induk Pahk was a little „jrl her mother heard about God and became a Christian. Girls didn't have schooling at that time so Induk dressed as a boy and went to the boy’s school. She was not “stupid with less brains than boy as Koreans believe of girls” so learned quickly. Her higher education was received at Ewha First Methodist missionary school and college for girls in Korea, and in the United States. Korea now needs, she believes, more young girls educated. The communists in the north of Korea need not be feared if the people in south Korea can hold on to their democracy and they are try ing hard to do this now. At the recent election 96 cent of the Koreans voted, 50 per cent being women. Mrs. Pahk was entertained in Black Mountain by Mrs. C. E. Keith. Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Miller, Miss Margaret Hay, Mrs. George Stone, and Mrs. S. S. Cooley.

Marett, rs. 0 0 China Will Remain Free: Dr, Chen The Chinese government is de termined that the country will remain free of the communists and their agents, Dr. Chen Chih mai, counsellor of China to the United States, told the Black Mountain Lions and their guests Wednesday night. Dr. Chen, who is the author of several books and articles in Chinese, received his Ph. D. at Columbia. He was mad* • vailable through the courtesy of International Counsellor Hugh G. Mitchell of Statesville. Dr. Chen, whose brother died in a Japanese prison camp dur ing the war, described the re sistance with which the Chinese met the Japs and told of the dire threat of starvation which faced the millions of refugees who swarmed into the cities ahead of the invaders. The diet which the government could provide for these people was enough to main tain life for a person who re mained absolutely quiet and in bed but not enough for an active person. Three years after the close of hostilities there are still more than 40,000,000 refugees in China. Although the communists and their agents are always a threat to the country, the government is determined that the nation shall remain free, the speaker declared. In addition to Hugh Mitchell and other members of the States ville Lions club, Dr. Chen was ac companied by his wife, whom he met as a refugee during the war, and his two children who were born in Chungking. The oldest child was flown out of China via the Hump when the Japs threat ened central China.
