By Perry Morgan Well, it is all over. The sum mer assembly we mean. The meet ings closed Sunday evening with the singing of Handel’s “The Messiah.” Almost 500 voices of the great choir delighted a packed aud itorium with the Halleluiahs of the wonderful Oratorio. For a week the choir had studied and re hearsed the music under the di rection of DuPhre Rhame of the department of music of Furman university, Greenville, S. C. The hour was a grand finale to the greatest season in the history of Ridgecrest assembly. More than 30,000 people were touched by the 23 conferences of 12 weeks since June 1. Manager Willard K. Weeks is to be congratulated on the successful season and the marvelous ac complishments of the summer, the forward look of the future, and the promises of growth and de velopment of the institution which is so close to the hearts of South ern Baptists. A good word must ! be said for Mr. Week's assistants , in and around his office, the staff, - the carpenters, painters, truck drivers, yard men, farmers, gard eners. painters, everyone who had j a part. These all worked long and tedious hours to accomplish the * goal of the greatest season. Mrs. ■ Weeks was alu'ays at the center of activities cheering the workers, scattering sunshine, keeping every- c body happy and busy and especial- t ly so when the captain of the crew, j Willard, was at Mission hospital recuperating from that appended- v omy from which he has about re- t covered.

Greene Reports Better Than This Reporter Reports R. T. Greene is a better re porter than “Your Reporter.” When “T” gave the News the story last week regarding the new parking lot on Broadway, he was very careful to point out that the lot belonged to Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Dougherty, and not the Black Mountain Lumber company. But what happened? The re porter went straight to the of fice, sat down, and with noth ing else on his mind wrote in black and white just the re verse of what he had been told. 1 The explanation,' if there is any, is that Jim or J. A. Dough erty and the Black Mountain 1 Lumber company are so closely 1 associated that it is hard to think of one and not the other. There! That explains it. But the lot does belong to Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty who donated its use for a parking lot. That is the mark of two civic minded people. —There’s a simple way to keep up with the Joneses. Just slow down and soon you’ll meet them coming back. —Grocers Advocate Church Barbecue Will Be Friday Al Club House There’ll be plenty of barbecue, apple pie, and coffee at the barb ecue which is being sponsored Friday by the Tabernacle Metho list church at the Black Mountain club house.

S. deputy marshal and member of the orphanage board oi trustees at the Black Mountain club house last Thursday evening Telling the Black Mountain Lions and their guests of the great work carried on at the or phanage, the speaker praised Mr and Mrs. Harry Barkley and How ard Russell for the excellent re cord made during the past few years.

Citing the record of Mr. Barkley in operation of the farm, the speaker pointed out that the 14C acre farm last year cost $6,000 tc operate but produced food worth $13,000 which reduced the cost 3 cents per meal per child per day. Mr. Roberts read a long list of accomplishments of the boys and girls at the orphanage which indicated that they had lived up to their training and had taken an active part in activities at the Black Mountain schools.

In a bulletin from Editor Charlies Spencer, Lions are urged to see that a complete list of names for the calendar and names of those who have paid for cal endars be brought to the meeting tonight. All money collected should be turned over so that a final settlement can be made. But the work will come on Mon day when the club will meet again at the town hall at 7 p. m. to prepare the copy. At least six typewriters and operators must be present Monday, the bulletin said, to list all names and com plete the copy for the printer. This is a job which can not be put off, the editor concludes. The calendar campaign is one of the most important launched by the Lions here in some time and indications are that it will be the most successful. Proceeds will be used for the program which is conducted by the sight con servation committee, H. D. Craw ford chairman.

Goring of Asheville is building a new Sinclair station at the corner of State and West streets in Black Mountain.

Although the former Cullowhee star has been driving the boys hard for the past three weeks, the team still .lacks experience and must still prove itself under fire. Brevard handed the locals their only defeat of the 1951 campaign and the boys will be seeking revenge. The Transylvania county team is expected to be as strong this year as last. According to Humphries, the Darkhorses are very weak on re serves and need much experience which can be gained only from competition. “But in spite of this we have been shaping up pretty well and hope to give a good ac count of ourselves Friday night,” the head man said. “They’re green but they’re trying hard and might develop with a few games under their belts.” Some of the lettermen from last year’s county champions will be in the starting lineup. Starters are expected to be: ends, John Corkran, Dallas Calloway, or Stan Davis; tackles. Swan and Buch anan; guards, Jones and Dave Cork ran; center, Smathers: backs, Dave Parris, Braska Odom, Jimmy Le vine, and Johnny Atkins. • WANT ADS SELL—Phone 4101 Executive Secretary Leaving To Enter Private Business In Jackson, Tenn.
