Owing- to suggestions offered by two delightful people, we nam f- j % ^’^en Smokie Biscuit — kind of a curious double name, but if you have ever had the exper ience with a camp stove you will know that there is such a thing as a smoky biscuit. Anyway, the blots that the News staff sees on this sheet were made by the said cat trying to render the Nutcracker Suite or some other selection on the typewriter keys. \\ e was indeed glad to welcome our lovely niece, Alice Burnett, to church services last Sunday morning. Alice favored us with a >ery beautiful solo. She has been in New York studying voice and music, and will return this fall to resume her studies, but no matter where she goes or what she does she will always be the sweet little girl to us that used to come to the corn field and beg to ride the horse to the barn at lunch time. Garland “Russ” Morris of Pick ens, S. C., paid a flying visit to North Fork last week. Blane Morris has erected bat ter boards for his new lounging barn, and will start construction soon. Mrs. Julius A. Walker cut her thumb with a butcher knife while pruning the wisteria vines around her porch last week. John Witherspoon of Columbia, S. C., spent last week end with his family at the home of Mrs. James P. Kinard. * Mack Burnett has arrived in Japan with the armed forces, and finds the people kind and friend ly. He says you can get a week’s laundry done for a couple of pack ages of American cigarettes. (Perhaps we all should go to Japan.) Although Mack is charm ed with the Fast, we will wager that he dreams of his lovely wife, and the hills of North Fork. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Warren of Durham, N. C., visited the William Browns this week. Mrs. Warren is Mr. Brown’s sister. Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Brown enjoyed a long horseback ride on North Fork last Sunday after noon. We visited Mr. and Mrs. George Burnett last Sunday afternoon. George’s arm, which he injured recently while shoeing his horse, is still in a bad condition, and it will be several weeks before he can do his work. George had an interesting experience while he was in the hospital—he met a buddy of World War I that he had served with in France, a Mr. Ralph Cordell, whom he had not seen in JO years. Jeter Riddle and daughters of Montreat also visit ed the Burnetts Sunday afternoon. Robert Bronsink, his wife and small son, Robin, spent last Fri day night with Mr. and Mrs. Blane Morris. Mr. Bronsink has a high rating in the navy, but we aren't sure what it is and will leave it off until we know. Anyhow, the Bionsinks have bought the head of the Big Branch, and intend to build a house and retire there in a few years, and will therefore be our neighbors. Mr. Bronsink has recently been transferred to Texas. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Leonard of Winthrop college, and Miss Iva Bishop, secretary to the president of Winthrop, who was also secre tary to the late Dr. Kinard, are staying at the “cabin” at Wicker sham and are the guests of Mrs. James P. Kinard. These folks found the “cabin” already occupied by a family of wrens that had built a nest in an aluminum pitcher hanging in the kitchen. All tenants are living happily to gether. Mrs. Lavinia Smith and her daughter, “Ginger,” of Char lotte, daughter and granddaughter of Mrs. Kinard, are visiting her, and John Witherspoon of Colum bia, S. C., is back (Gee, it’s hard to keep up with these folks) for two weeks, we understand. Mrs. Frank McIntosh and her son, Billie, and wife of Virginia BLACK MOUNTAIN INSURANCE COMPANY GENERAL INSURANCE and BONDS Representing Leading Stock Companies GREENE BUILDING BLACK MOUNTAIN, N. C. Plenty of Seats Available For Indian Drama CHEROKEE, N. C„ July U_ General Manager Carol 'White denied wide-spread reports today that tickets are unavailable for performances of “Unto These Hills, the drama of the Chero kee Indian. “Tickets are available for all performances of the show,” White said. “The rumor that we are sold out for the season is noth ing but a rumor.” White said tickets could be pur chased for any performance by mail or at the theatre box office. There are performances nightly through July 8 and thereafter six nights weekly, Tuesday through Sunday, until Sept. 4. are visiting at Wickersham this week, and Mrs. Mac Wood was visiting the Wickers Sunday af ternoon when we went to get all this data. Charles and Carl Taylor and their families were at the Wallace pool Sunday evening. Thomas Summer and family of Newberry, S. C., came to visit us last Thursday. He and his fam ily, his mother Mrs. Essie Sum mer, the Rev. Chester Miller, Minnie and this reporter went to the Great Smokies on Friday. The most interesting event on this trip was all of us having our picture taken with Chief Big Feather, and Minnie loved to go through lush Haywood county, the land of green pastures and the scenes of her childhood. All the Summers went home Saturday and left us deso late. Mr. and Mrs. Blane Morris went to Craggy Gardens last Sun day afternoon. They say they Saw the McAfees up there. Thomas and Grace Morris bought our Minivox piano. HERE FOR HOLIDAYS Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Moffett of Atlanta spent .the holidays with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Watkins and family. SPENDING SUMMER Joe L. Roberts of Athens, Ga., has arrived to spend the summer with his daughters, Mrs. E. F. Smith and Mrs. O. B. Norton. RALEIGH ROUNDUP From Page 2, this Sec. the schools “separate but equal.” Majority—but not all—of the Negro schoolhouses built by the counties are a disgrace when com pared with those constructed for the whites. To make these plants equal will cost an estimated $50, 000,000. If the counties are not able to do it, the state will have to take this over as it has roads, teachers’ salaries, and other county responsibilities during the past 20 years. Should the state assume com plete responsibility for building and maintaining all schoolhouses, one of three things—or a com bination of the three—must occur: a sharp hike in sales tax; an in crease in the state income tax; or a state tax on land. A bond issue floated by the state would get us out of the separate—but unequal cutcn, Dut it would take much more than that to keep us out. Meantime, Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota has tossed into the congressional hopper ad ditional fuel for the civil rights fire. If this should squeeze by a conservative Senate, then our troubles along the separate but equal line will seem small indeed.
