Reflections
By Jack Greenwood
The Lions Club has made the
rounds of the assemblies. _ The
members have eaten “painted
watermelon and disguised canta
loupe with Herbert Sanders and
E. S. Jackson at Blue Ridge,
platters of fried chicken with
Willard Weeks, Perry Morgan, and
W. M. Pate at Ridgecrest, and
stuffed on chicken, delicious salad,
and all the trimmings with C. A.
Stubbs, Mike Wyly, and Keith
Townsend at Montreat.
If the Lions were asked to
choose between the fare and the
programs at the three places —
they couldn’t do it. Each was diff
erent, each was highly entertain
ing, and each was appreciated.
The Lions, (E. N. Howell says a
Lion is a man too old to be a
wolf) loved participating in the
program at Blue Ridge, thrilled
to the magnificient numbers de
livered by the staff members at
Ridgecrest, and marveled at the
quality and rich tone of Miss
Mirta’ Borges’ voice at Montreat
last Thursday night.

Ike Cook and John J.
O’Connor, ye olde tailtwisters,
did that and more Thursday
evening at Montreat. Appar
ently the dignified atmosphere
of Howerton hall had no affect
on these pests. To the delight
of the Lions, visitors, and smart
waitresses who left nothing to
be desired from point of ser
vice, Ike cornered Walter Cook,
visiting Lion from Miami, and
whacked off his beautiful tie
with a pair of tin snips. Then
to show his versatility he pro
duced shaving cream, towel, and
razor and gave Harry Barkley
what Ike called a “very much
needed shave.”

Who are the Black Mountain
people who had their pictures
taken looking through the bars
while on vacation recently? Now
they’re scared to death that the
newspaper will get hold of the
picture and publish same. All
six of them certainly do look sad
and lonesome, but the jailer
must not have kept a close eye
on them—they were out and
back home within a few days.
No one has been able to figure
out what the charges were.
Does anyone know ?

From far away Ireland comes

Jack O’Connor, through whose ef
forts the post was organized, has
written to John J. O'Connor,
commander of Waycaster-McFee
Post 129, Black Mountain, telling
of the difficulties encountered in
organizing and of efforts being
made to broaden the work of the
Legion in Killamey.
"1 am enclosing a few post
cards and views of Killarney.
Their beauty will refresh your
memory and gladden your heart,
the commander of the American

At an ol<l-fashioned revival
meeting, a penitent sinner was
fired by the eloquence of the
evangelist but did not overlook
the possible practical results of
a confession.
“Friends,” he said, "1 do want
to repent, and I want to tell
you how bad I have been, but I
don't dare do it while the grand
jury is in session.”
“But the Lord will forgive
you.” shouted the revivalist.
“I know,” replied the wary
convert, "but He ain't on that
grand jury.”

“They say that paper can be

An agitated young man ran
frantically down the ferry slip,
leaped across a strip of water
and landed with a crash on the
deck of the boat.
“Well,” he gasped, as he picked
himself up, “I made it.”
“What’s your hurry?” asked
the deck hand. “This boat is com
ing in.”
