DOUGHERTY Mech. Sopt Co-owners SUBSCRIPTION RATES Buncombe and Surrounding Counties: One Year $2.00 Six Months 11-25 Outside Above Territory One Year $2.60 Six Months sl-50 Entered as Second Class Matter Sept. 13, 1945, at the Post Office at Black Mountain, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Editorial “Blue Ridge Road from the bridge to the top of the hill is littered with trash, garbage, filth and flies,” a reader writes. “Why wouldn t it be feasible to put large cans for garbage disposal at strategic points for those who live outside of the city limits, and sum mer people? Garbage disposal is a problem, but the present method of tossing it out of a car window is unsanitary and unsightly.” All that the writer says is true and more but the question is who is to be responsible and who is to pay for garbage collection and disposal outside of the city limits. We agree that the present method of tos sing garbage out of car windows does endanger the health of the citizens but the Town of Black Moun tain is not responsible. Residents of the town pay taxes which entitle them to police and fire protect ion, garbage service and other benefits but the town can hardly afford to extend these services into the districts outside of the town limits. What it all adds up to is the fact that the residents of- the town, and they form but a small part of the total population of the community, have been furn ishing fire and police protection free to 6000 or 7000 people. Competent observers declare that 6000 people live within a radius of five miles of the town’s city limits. It is next to impossible for 1200 people to furnish city services to this number. That brings us right back to our starting point. It would be fine if we could place garbage cans at strategic points around the community, but the mayor and board of aldermen might have a hard time trying to convince Mr. Town Taxpayer that he should spend his hard earned money to clean up the entire community. It might be done, but we doubt it. With The Sick Sarah Rogers has been con fined to her home for several days, due to an attack of tonsil litis. Mrs. Joe Mackney and daugh ter, Susann are improving after an attack of flu. Judy McAfee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George McAfee, is con fined to her home because of a leg injury. Dorothy Slagle is improving after a week’s illness. Mrs. Elmer Dees has returned from Mission hospital where she underwent an operation last week. She is progressing satisfactorily. Mrs. Ruby Helms has been staying with Dennis and Patricia Dees while their mother was a way. READ THE CLASSIFIEDS!

This Week’s Meditation... W. H. STYLES in For almost two years it has been my privilege to have in this paper this column known as “This Week’s Meditation.” Many of you have told me of your appreciation of some meditation that has helped you. In turn, I want to thank you for reading what I have had to say. It has been well said: “Os all the flowers that grow in the garden of the soul, there is none fairer than the flower of grat itude.” I am herewith announcing the beginning of a new coumn this next week to be known as “FOOD FOR THOUGHT.” Until then, I leave this challenge with you, “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, what soever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report . . ~ think on these things.” Warming The Bench The red-hot Asheville Tourists baseball club, local entry in the Class B Tri-State league, stacks up to be one of the best diamond combinations ever assembled in the history of the minor loops. At least that’s what sportswriters all over the country are saying about them. One look at the Tourists will show you the reason they are such an outstanding club. The boys have a fighting spirit that en ables them to come from behind and win ball games in the late innings, and their hitting, field ing, pitching, and base-runing are unsurpassed in the Tri-State circuit to date. The team as a whole is slugging the ball at a merry clip just under the .300 mark, and their base-stealing has shattered all previous records for minor league teams. Forest Jacobs, a speedy little second sacker, has stolen thirty-five bases against opponents at this writing and his fleet-footed teammates are not far behind. Norman Kon ey, centerfilder, has pilfered thir ty-four bags for runner-up po sition, and Ray Hickernell, husky first-basemen, has thirty-three to his credit establishing a new base stealing records. And if the Tour ists continue their torrid game winning pace, chances are heavy 7 that these new records will fall before you read this Thursday afternoon. Clay Bryant, one-time pitching specialist for the Boston Braves before he joined the Dodger clan, is the successful manager of the Asheville team this season. Last year his Zanesville, Ohio club placed second in a rugged Class B pennant race, but wound up a week later as winner of the Shaughnessy playoffs. This year he is doing even better, but still wonders just how it would feel to pilot a second-place club, since his team hasn’t vacated first place since the opening day of the season. At this writing, the Tour ists still hold down the top spot in standings, with the runner-up club only a mere fourteen-and-one half games behind.
