C. 10 PAGES TODAY 5c PER COPY REFLECTIONS By Jack Greenwood If you think we’ve had dry reather here, talk to Leroy Mash llirn who recently returned from visit with his daughter at Tus n. Ariz. , Mr. and Mrs. Mashburn left at ke close of the summer and drpve Arizona to see their daughter, James A. Bell and her fam drs. By The Bells live on a ranch 33 niles out of Tucson. The only water they saw of any jonsequence between Alabama nd Arizona was the Mississippi •iver. The Rio Grande is 10 low that a good sized K>odle dog could jump it. Most ,f the cattle have been sold. At i cattle sale there Mr. Mashburn iaid the average price was 16 rents. The results of the election convince one group that dem ocracy is a great thing and an other that we are going to the dogs. But that's the best ex ample of democracy that I know. Each group doesn't hesitate to let you know how it feels. An advertisement in your home town paper is evidence that you are not ashamed of your products. Pepper Martin is waiting for the next election so that he can win another ride from Harley Moser. Each man believed so strongly in his ability to pick the winner that he was willing to risk a wheel barrow ride from the traffic light in Swan nanoa to Black Mountain on the outcome. It isn't hard to figure out what horse Martin backed. Last Sat urday morning the Valley was in a perfect state of excitement as Mr. Martin took his seat in the wheel barrow at the traffic light and yelled "Mush." Mr. Moser was glad to puff into Black Mountain wiser and sev eral pounds lighter a good while later. From James V. Pananes, Gulf itream, Bradenton Beach, Fla., [comes a note penned on a copy of ;he Islander, a newspaper “de rated to the people of the Anna laris Island.” According to the [slogan the paper is published where life is peaceful and fishing [is good.” Mr. Pananes has some nice |things to say about the Black fountain News for which all of is here say, “Thank You.” But back to The Islander. It’s newsy little paper, four pages, abloid format. There is an editor ind a fishing editor and an adver ting manager. The editor has in interesting article called “Snake in the Garden” in which he says that some people have called Anna larie Island a garden of Eden, jut. sayvi Mr. Editor, there is a make in the garden—Taxes. It seems the taxes there are based in the price paid for the proper 11 which price includes commis pon for the realtor. As the editor lints out, the home owner, thus, |ays forever on the commission lone.

Somewhere around the Swan lanoa school there’s a book on lisplay which is pretty famous, t’s the Blue Back Speller which nany of the old timers will re nember as well as some of those lot so old. Few years back when some of ur fathers and mothers were [rowing up, and school houses ■ ere as scarce as GIs who never nade ’ess than a $150 a week in :ivili -n life and never were below olonel in the army, the teachers ravelled from home to home and aught the children in return for loard, room, and a few gallons of nalasses or whatever the family ould spare at the end of the term, looks were mighty scarce but nany of our ancestors got all their ook learnin’ from the Blue Back Speller and a few other issues with ames equally as fancy. Many a lan’s education in those days con isted of a few lessons in “gogo hy,” ’rithmetic, and a trip or two irough the Blue Back Speller, tow well he was educated depend d on how well he mastered the itter. Although the book is now an od ity and has been out of print for,. any years, a story in the Swan anoa School news says one is on splay down there. It should be worth seeing and udying.

They also assisted with the packets for peace.

WANT-ADS SELL—Phone 4101 Black Mountain Defeats Swannanoa, 26-6, For Second Straight County Championship lim Uzzell Heads Alumni Associatian me aiumm ot Black Mountain High School met in the High School Gvm Friday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 o'clock with members present from the class of 1924 to the class of 1952. Before the business meeting be gan the alumni were entertained by the Black Mountain High School Band. The band has been the project of the alumni association having been organized under the sponsorship of the alumni associa tion in 1950. The alumni are very proud of the band, and the pro gress that it has made during the past two years. During the business meeting a proposed constitution of the or ganization was read by the retir ing president, Eugene Byrd. The constitution was discussed and adopted by the association. Of ficers for the year 1952-53 were elected as follows: President, Jim Uzzell; Vice President, Lou Lindsey; Secretary, Ruth Gilbert; Treasurer, Lawrence Wheelon. A great deal of interest was shown in the alumni meeting by the students and teachers of the high school. A prize was offered by the association to the home room that was best decorated, and that appealed most to the alumni. The prize was awarded to Mrs. Perley’s home room of Senior Boys. Her room was very at tractively decorated with school pictures ranging from 1918 through 1952. The judges gave honorable mention to Gary Carson, agricul ture, 2nd place; Miss Gilbert, Eighth Grade, 3rd place; Mrs. Mc Coy, Senior Girls, 4th place. Jim Uzzell selected judges from the organization and asked them to find the alumni member present with the highest forehead. Eugene Byrd, Worth Cook, Charles Lind sey, James Dotson, Harry Carland, Dr. A. E. Knoefel and N. C. Shuford were brought out to be measured. Mr. Shuford was first declared win ner, but after a conference it was decided that he was ineligible and the prize was given to Dr. Knoefel. Dr. Knoefel (class of 1924) walked off with another prize. He was the oldest alumni member present. The youngest member present was Bobby Bradley (class of 1952). Gor man Burgin, the alumni member with the most children was award ed a pair of ear plugs, and Jane Eckles Holden was the alumni member who had come the great est distance to the meeting. Since the alumni association will use no other means of making money this year other than col lecting dues of $1.00 per member it is strongly urged that all stu dents and graduates of Black Mountain prior to 1952, who have not paid iheir alumni association dues will please pay them to Law rence Wheelon at the Key City Pharmacy as soon as possible. All dues collected will be used for worth while school projects, es pecially the band. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Phillips Came, Saw, W ere* Conquered, Now Are Here To Stay Why do people from far away places move to Black Mountain? Have you ever wondered what at tracted so many people to a small community to make their permanent homes? The following letter written by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Phillips of Long Island, New York, may hold somo of the answers. Let them tell why in their own words: Friends of ours, Mr. and Miss Drake of Vance avenue, spent their vacations at Montreat lift the past 16 years. They recently moved here and wrote us about the beauty of the mountains and other attractions of Black Moun tain, enticing us to see it for our selves. Last September we came for two weeks and stayed with Mr. Claude S. Betts. ’Mr. Betts drove us around and we were as sured that all that was said in favor of this lovely valley was no exaggeration, and to say that we were deeply impressed by the breath-taking magnificence of the scenery is to put it mildly. It is surely the handiwork of the Lord. We liked it so well that in less than six weeks we returned — so far as we know — to live. As we look at the foliage on the lofty, rocky elevation sur rounding the town we agree that: “Only God can make a Tree.” W. B. Kyles, 61, Past Master of Lodge 663, Dies W. B. Kyles, 61, of East College street, a resident of Black Moun tain 31 years, died Monday night at the heme after a long illness. He was a charter member and past master of Masonic Lodge 663, AF and AM. He was a World War I veteran. Graveside rites were conducted by members of the Lodge. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Carolyn Lauber Kyles; the mother, Mrs. R. C. Kyles of Salisbury; one brother, William of Buhl, Ida.; three sisters, Mrs. Flodo Goebel and Mrs. John McChamrock of Salisbury and Mrs. Lilly Minton of Kannapolis and a number of nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held Wednesday at 2 p. m. in First Bap tist church here with the Rev. W. A. Huneycutt and Chaplain Wayne W. Williams officiating. Burial was in Mountain View Memorial Park. Pallbearers were A. G. Callison, E. T. Viverette, J. L. Potter, R. E. Finch, R. Y. Payton and Douglas Hill. Honorary pallbearers were dea cons of First Baptist church and members of the Bible class. Flower bearers were members of Glean ers and Fidelis Sunday School classes of the church. Harrison Funeral Home was in charge. Fire Extinguished After Threatening Homers Chapel Fire which was discovered at approximately 10:00 a. m., Friday threatened Homer’s Chapel on the North Fork road but was brought under control without damage to the building, according to Boyd McDonald, district ranger. Warning that the fire had brok en out and was burning in the Homers Chapel vicinity came from High Windy to Mr. McDonald Fri day morning. He, aided by stu dents from Black Mountain High school, men from Montreat, T. K. Brown’s crew, and landowners in the fire area, brought the fire un der control at 7:30 Saturday morn ing after an all night effort. Many times the men thought the fire was out only to have it burn un der the fire lines and break out in a new locality. This made it necessary that a crew remain on duty throughout the night. “Please say,” ]&r. McDonald stated, “that the Red Cross folks certainly did stay on the job and keep plenty of coffee and food right up where we were fighting the fire. They surely did take care of us.” Under general supervision of Mrs. Bessie Carr, Red Cross head quarters were set up at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Nanney on North Fork. Mr. and Mrs. Nan ney’s sons, Daniel and Dallas, were of great help, Mr. McDonald said. —Turn to Page 4 1125 Students Of Swannanoa Schools Start News Circulation Campaign Mr. & Mrs. Moray Here To Stay, At Least We Hope Mr. and Mrs. George E. Moray of Lansing, Mich., have moved to Black Mountain to spend the winter. If they like it, they in tend to stay here .as permanent residents. They are living at Fair lawn Lodge. A member of the post office force at Lansing for the past 37 years, Mr. Moray was retired at midnight Friday, Oct. 31. He joined the post office department in 1915. Under his picture which ap peared in the State Journal at Lansing on Oct. 30, Mr. Moray was quoted as saying: “Black Mountain is a pretty little place in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. We spent two weeks there last summer during our va cation. We’re going down for the winter. If we like it, we’ll move there for good.” They’re here and we hope they like it. They have already found friends. It developed that Mrs. Moray and Miss Ruby Hall at Fairlawn Lodg- attended grade school together back in Adrian, Mich. The Morays liked the commun ity so much last summer that they later subscribed for the NEWS just so they could see how their favorite community was coming along. They missed a couple of issues, for some unknown reason, and were quick to write, a polite but ( m “where is my paper?” u you live in tne swannanoa community, don’t be surprised if some one “comes knocking on your door” during the next few days. More than likely it’ll be one of the 1125 students of the Swan nanoa Schools who have begun a circulation campaign to earn mon ey for their home room. The Black Mountain NEWS has agreed to donate one-half of all monies collected between now and Dec. 1 to the school. This applies to both renewals or new subscrip tions. No matter what the date of expiration may be on a sub scription, those who wish to aid the school may do so. The date will be extended from time of ex piration, no matter how far that may be in the future. In addition three prizes are be ing offered, two by the NEWS and Students Will Be Shooting At Tivo Ambitious Marks Home rooms at Swannanoa will have a couple of ambitious marks to shoot at in their cir culation drive. At Black Mountain Grammar school Mrs. Laura O’Connor’s room won first prize with a to tal of 39 subscriptions. Mrs. O’Connor explained the disposi tion of the money in a letter of thanks which was published in the NEWS some time ago. Second prize was won by Mrs. Eunice Beddingfield’s room with 24. These records may tumble before the Swannanoa drive is over. one by the school authorities. There’ll be an extra $5 for the class room that turns in the most subscriptions in the primary, grades 1 to 4; grammar, grades 5 through 8, and high school, grades 9 to 12. Thus, the grades will compete against each other and not against the upper classes. Mrs. Betty Wade, who is spon soring the gathering of news for the “Swannanoa School Scoops,” which will appear weekly in the Black Mountain NEWS until June, will be in charge of the contest. The drive started Wednesday and will continue through Dec. \. This is a similar contest which was conducted by students of the Black Mountain Grammar school and the Carver School PTA earlier this fall. The Carver School PTA earned $118 and the grammar school between $300 and $400. Residents of Swannanoa are re quested to call the school to make sure that a representative calls to pick up the subscription. There has been no advance in prices for this drive. PARADE OF QUARTETS WILL BE SATURDAY AT CITY AUDITORIUM The Parade of Quartets, featur ing some of the section’s -best, will be presented at the City Auditor ium Saturday, Nov. 15, at 8 p. m.

LeVine Gallops 79 Yards On 1st Scrimmage Play JOHNNY ATKINS SCORES TWICE; DARKHORSE LINE CHECKS WARRIOR ATTACK Black Mountain High won its second Buncombe county football championship in a row here Fri day afternoon by defeating the Swannanoa Warriors, 26-6, in a cold game that was witnessed by the largest crowd of the year. It was homecoming at Black Mountain and many old grads came back to see the game and to attend the business meeting and dance at the high school Fri day night. The Darkhorses were riding the crest of an eight game winning streak and Swannanoa had knocked over five straight oppon ents to give this game, if it were needed, added color. But the hopes of the visiting Warriors were dampened in the opening seconds of the game when Jimmy LeVine, running as if he had already been selected on the All-American instead of given honorable mention, broke through the center of the line, faked the two line backers off stride, and then slammed 79 yards down the sideline for the score. Automatic John Corkran and his educated toe made it 7-0 before the spectat ors had found standing room. The second score came with great suddenness and surprise in the second quarter when Buch anan, star Darkhorse guard, re covered a Swannanoa fumble in the air and ran over from the 10 yard line. The try for point was no good. Johnny Atkins, who has been selected to play in the Optimist Bowl on Thanksgiving Day at full back, was responsible for the third Darkhorse score. He grabbed a fumble on the 25 and raced in to the end zone. The point was missed and the half ended with Black Mountain leading, 19-0. The homecomers were treated to some fancy capers by the Alumni Band, under direction of Mrs. Charlene Maydwell at the half and were in gay mood for the final periods. There were many reserves in the Black Mountain lineup during the third and fourth periods. A blocked punt gave the locals the ball on the eight yard line and a scoring opportunity in the third period. Dave Parris carried on the first try, then Johnny Atkins took over and rammed the ball over for the score. The Warrior touchdown came about in the final period and was the result of seme fast thinking and stepping by Orren Bell, Swan nanoa back. Bell leaped high ire the air to intercept a Black Moun tain pass out in the flat and raced 70 yards for the six points. Strangely enough three Black Mountain scores and the lone Swannanoa touchdown crme as the result of breaks. Black Moun tain scored on two fumbles and a blocked kick and Swannanoa on an intercepted pass. There were many standouts on both teams. Offensive stars for the Darkhorses were LeVine, Atk ins, and David Parris who called them right at quarterback. Patton and Roy Suttles did some nice plunging for the losers. Defensively, the Black Mountain line stopped the Warriors cold and limited them to a lone first down and 21 yards rushing. Jolly and Stroupe played well in the Swan nanoa line. Jimmy LeVine was forced to leave the game before the end of the haif with a badly bruised shoulder. Jim Stroupe was injured and left the game in the second half with a leg injury. His loss hurt the Swannanoa defense. Although fans and supporters would like to see the Darkhorses, as Buncombe county champions, play in the Smoky Mountain Bowl on Thanksgiving Day, there is a ruling against those below the class of senior playing in post season games. This eliminates Black Mountain. However, several of the Darkhorses and Warriors may be seen in action on Thanks giving Day with the Optimist Bowl teams at the stadium. A full report Will be carried next week. Swannanoa Ends: Davidson, Jones, Thomp son, Gibbs, Mills. Tackles: Mc Craw, Stroupe, Byas. Guards: Bur leson, Jolly, Waldrup, Phillips, Creasman. Centers: Campfield, Astley, Fox. Backs: Rogers, Pat ton, Ray Suttles, Roy Suttles, Jim Ward, Jack Ward, Greene, Bell, Slagle. Scoring TD: Bell. —Turn to Page 5
