Published Every Thursday In Black Mountain, N. C. GORDON H. GREENWOOD.Editor GEORGE W. DOUGHERTY.Mech. Supt. Co-Owners Entered as Second Class Matter September 13, 1945, at the Post Office at Black Mountain, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Day Phone ilOl — Night Phone 4503 WORK HAS BEGUN . . . First work on the Southeastern Christian As sembly grounds started this week when, according to President L. T. New, the landscape engineers were authorized to begin immediately on the necessary work to be done on the assembly grounds. The init ial survey will include the lake site and a large area beginning at the gate entrance. First the dream of only a few men interested in seeing the Christian church establish an assembly in the “Valley of Religion,” the plans have grown in scope until they now have taken on an interna tional outlook. The Southeastern Christian assembly was endorsed by the International Brotherhood of the Christian church at the convention last year. Seven states have already joined and others are ac cepting the plan as fast as state conventions are held. A plan of such magnitude and scope does not de velop overnight, nor will it be completed by some magic formula. There is still much hard work, many long hours of planning, and years of building ahead for those who wish this to be the largest assembly of its kind in the United States. Those who have sparked the drive and kept alive the hope will need much encouragement in the days, weeks, and yeai*s that are to come before the plan is completed. Any thing less than an all-out effort on our part, on the part of all who are interested in the success of the Southeastern Christian assembly will not be enough. J. Richard Queen Is Candidate For Seat In Congress J. Richard Queen, well known civic, educational, and political leader of this district, formally announced this week he is a candi date for congress. His is the first formal announcement to be made for the post now held by Rep. Monroe M. Redden, who recently announced he would not seek re election. Mr. Queen, a native of Haywood, decided to make the race when his uncle, John M. Queen, defin itely announced he was not seek ing the office, due to his health. The former solicitor had been of ten mentioned as a candidate for the post. In making his announcement, the former secretary to two North Carolina senators—the late Sen ator J. M. Broughton and Senator Prank P. Graham—the young ag gressive present secretary of the House Land Affairs Committee, said: “The people of Western North Carolina, and the state as a whole, appreciate the untiring ef forts and splendid record which Rep. Monroe M. Redden has made. It is my intent and purpose to carry on the same fine work he has started, all for the full de velopment and utilization of the vast potential resources of the 12th Congressional district.” Mr. Queen has been active in the Democratic party, and prior to going to Washington, taught school in Haywood county. He is married and has three children. He is a graduate of Brevard col lege and Western Carolina Teach ers college.

They expect to be ready to recommend a suitable site in the near future. Those serving on the committee are J. G. Northcott, chairman, Mrs. E. V. Gouge, secretary, Hoy W. Alexander, I’aul Young, C. Latt McMahan, R. T. Greene, E. M. Kirstein, N. C. Shuford, and E. N. Howell. The new $600,000 Swannanoa Valley High school will be bud* out of the funds which were voted some time ago for the consolida tion and improvement of Buncombe county schools.

The Swan nanoa Valley building is part of the final phase of that program. Black Mountain and Swannanoa voted heavily in favor of the bonds which were necessary to bring the schools up to the level with other metropolitan counties of the state and nation. Packet!

RED CROSS ASKED From Page 1, th Sec. Cross since 1938,' was fir,t nounced on July 19 by pre; a”' Truman, honorary chcT-m!'^”1 the Red Cross. ' ‘,man of “Enormous demands ” “are being made he saj(t upon Red r"' resources in Kansas '■ 1 ss Illinois and Oklahoma ’flood The Red Cross has been ^ Missouri areas on the job with many other since the beginning of the t "C1M ency.

The great task is the giving of long-term 7e“ habilitation aid. Surveys show 1.538 homes destroyed, about % O00 damaged. The Red Cross must aid in financing the repair or out! right rebuilding of many of these homes, as well as pav for new homes furnishings. There also will be a substantial number of med ical bills to pay, and expenses in curred in reestablishing an occup ation by the family breadwinner As of July 24, a total of 11,300 families have registered with the Red Cross for assistance of this type, and this figure is expected to reach 19,000 before July 31.’’ There is no overlapping of re lief operations by the Red Cross ‘and relief provided from a recent ly announced $25,000,000 alloca tion by the federal government for the flood area, Simons point ed out. ‘‘The Red Cross,” he said, “makes fund grants on an individ ual family need basis, and sup plementing family financial re sources for its return to normal living. About 200 paid staff of the Red Cross are now in the flood area assisting thousands of volunteers of Red Cross chapters and other organizations. The re habilitation job will last for months yet.” Putting all these families back on their feet and in a position to help themselves takes money and lots of it, Simons emphasized. “Our local Red Cross is joining other chapters throughout the na tion in helping fellow Americans overcome the tragedy of this greatest of floods since that of the Ohio-Mississippi Valley in 1937. “I therefore urge citizens of this county to send their gifts to chap ter headquarters, city hall, Black Mountain. The need is great, and our help is essential. All con tributions will be gratefully re ceived and forwarded to the na tional flood relief fund.” Find It In The CLASSIFIEDS Black Mountain's SOME HEADS CONTAIN MORE SENSE-THEY BUY THE COAL WHOSE HEAT' —| CONTENT IS HIGH T Use your SENSE to »« your CENTS and gel m closely acquainted wd" , FORT and ECONOMY your coal from us.
