By Oden W»ik«r Karleen Cordell was admitted .o the St Joseph hospital last week where she underwent surgery. She Ls doing very well, and Jack is doing his own cooking He doe=n , seem to be doing ‘o-c «*• -di 10 -■* culinary arts. Cline Atkins got a nasty faui from a treacherous scaffold last week on the job where we work. Fortunately he didr. t sustain ser ious injury. This reporter com mitted a very dumb trick last week We were insulating ar. at tic and missed stepping on a joist and knocked the ceiling down in a freshly plastered cioset We were very glad it wasn t in the middle of the living room This was such a foolish act that we yearned for Arnold Jones, a carpenter on the job that has a substantial foot, to come forward and give us a resounding kick. We know a person that says that they are on their way to heaven. We have heard of the broad way that leads to destruc tion. this seems to be a much traveled thoroughfare and most likely has traffic problems. Then there is the narrow path that leads to celestial regions. One can tread this way without fear of being run over by rushing feet, but this person seems to be trimming him self an original trail right through the thickets and brambles. We are still remembering the exquisite pleasure that we ex perienced singing with the choir of the First Baptist church before the holidays. We dearly love can tata music, and then it was really nice to sing under Mrs. Maydwell's able and patient direction. The choir was populated with delight ful people, especially some most charming ladies including our own winsome daughters. The Craggies must have been very cold last Monday evening. We noticed that they had pulled soft and downy, light gray and brown blankets of mist over their heads. We could see the snowy sheets showing underneath. From time to time we hear of vandalism committed by young boys. Today we heard of some boys that went into a house that was under construction and punched the newly installed sheet rock full of large holes utteriy ruining it This is such a pity They ably mear never rea th;s with': us A fri years ago field from A bunch td How she knew ail ■ut reading it is beyond end said maybe :* wa* u* never obscene For =on this reminds us o» : ’.ha* happened man} A lady lived across a an “ole swimmin' hole of boys got to going ir. wi’hout bothering to use oatninz suits Finally the lady sent worn to ’he boys' parents that they were causing her untold enu»ar rassmer." Someone asked her how she could teli so far away if they were nude or not. She said. Why I have a pair of very good field glasses." It occurred to us 'hat all was needed was to confiscate miladv's binoculars Thursday. Jan 22 the bloodmo bile will be at the Svannanoa Methodist church between the hours of 10:00 to 12 00 a m. and 1:30 to 5:00 pm. Everyone ’ha’ is ready to be "tapped" should go down and give a pint of blood Pecjde* doing a lot of good this is really lots of fun. These folks feed one's ego furiously. _ It is better to cal; Mrs. Bessie Carr at Black Mountain and make an ap pointment. then you won t have to wait. They will also furnish transportation if needed It is er roneous indeed that the Red Cross sells any of this blood. What isn *. used in local hospitals goes to the armed forces. We had a satisfying visit with Col. and Mrs. Wilbur Simons last Saturday night. We hadn't called on the Simones for some time and we surely did have a long and refreshing talk-fest. Mrs. Simons and Grace each have a toy Manchester puppy now to take the place of the late and beloved Spooks. There have been better than 100 persons that have come into the full fellowship of the Moun tain View church since the Rev. Eugene B>Td has been pastor Some have come by letter and statement, but mostly by baptism. It seems to us that this is an all-time record since the old days of the original church across the creek. Of course, the church made greet strides forward under the pastorage of the late Rev. M. D. Gant. We have seen him have the creek standing full of candidates for baptism with the clear, cold water swirling about their legs, as we stood on the bank and sang “Shall We Gather At The River" acappella. Our own daughters and most of our beloved nephews and nieces were convened under the preaching of Mr. Gan* Well, it is a great work, we can remember when the church lay dormant, and the things that went on in the M*ii.

You Gardeners May Find These Tips Helpful Hotbeds and coldframes are structures used to grow early plants from seeds for transplant ing in the garden after danger of frost is over or in some cases to give sufficient protection to certain kinds of plants to allow them to mature during the late fall or winter seasons. A coldframe is built like a hot bed but has no source of heat ex cept the heat from the sun’s rays. A hotbed is supplied with some artificial source of heat such as electricity, steam, hot water, hot air or manure. The frames are covered with glass sash, celloglass. glass cloth, plastic material or heavy' muslin cloth. Glass sash are the most ef ficient covers, but they are rather expensive. However, if given good care, they will last for many years whereas the other materials will have to be replaced every two or three years. The kind of heat to be used will depend on what is most easily available. On farms very often manure is easily ob tainable. Fresh horse manure is the only community are not nice to re member. Mr. and Mrs. Mack Burnett have just about finished the interior of their new home on the banks of Laurel Branch. Mack is doing the cabinet work now. He has only recently returned from many months of service in Korea. Mrs. W. T. Shook spent last Saturday night with her daughter. Mrs. Coleen Blankenship. We were very glad to have her with us at church services Sunday morning. kind that will give satisfactory results. Where electricity is available, that is the mod efficient and de pendable source of heat because l* can be controlled by means of a thermostat so that the heat control problem will not be as great as in other types of beds. An electric hotbed 6 by 6 feet in size will require 60 feet of lead cable as a heating unit and two standard glass sash for cover. A hotbed of this size should grow sufficient warm season plants of all kinds for the average home garden. A coldframe without heat but with glass or other type of cover will take care of the pro duction of most cool season crop plants such as cabbage, lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower. Control of temperature, water ing and ventilation are the im portant operations in the care of hotbeds and coldframes. Tempera tures should not be allowed to go too high, and watering should not be excessive if you wish good plants. Both of these operations are controlled by ventilation as well as by thermostats. Have a good soil thermometer — don’t guess at the temperatures. Bulle tins on construction and manage ment of hotbeds and coldframes may be obtained by writing the N. C. Extension Service, Depart ment of Horticulture. N. C. State College, Raleigh, N. C. —The nation produced the sec ond largest volume of crops in his tory in 1952. This was done de spite the drought in a large part of the country, particularly in the Centra! and Southeastern areas. The acreage from which crops were harvested was smaller than average but yields per acre were generally high. —The 1952 U. S. pig crop totaled 91.8 million head, a decrease of 10 per cent from the pre%ious year. The spring crop was down 9 per cent and the fall crop 11 per cent.

Hiring Teacher Presents Many Many Problems “It's getting late in the sea son to be hiring a teacher, said the superintendent of Millville Consolidated. ‘But even so. we must ask you a few questions. Miss Hummer. He paused. “Or is it Mrs Hum mer?" “It’s Miss Hummer. Flora Hummer." said the applicant. “I have taught six years.” “Oh. yes.” nodded the head of the school. "Are you willing to coach the Glee club besides teaching chemistry and Eng lish’" “Yes. but no baton twirling or tumbling.” “Humm. odd. I was just go ing to ask you that." The super intendent looked at the ceil ing. “Would you mind helping the Juniors out in their class play and making a debate schedule for the season. We have four high schools in the debate league. And how about P-TA—are you willing to ar range some of their programs and serve on the refreshment committee’ We also have a 4-H achievement day, about Thanksgiving time, and a rather pretentious Christmas pro gram—the English teacher al ways helps with that. How about personal habits. Miss Hummer?” The young lady sighed heavily. “I've been told that I talk in my sleep," she said. "I don't know that I have any others. I will help with dishes where I board and room, but I don’t want to get dinner for the school board any time." “Well. I guess we understand each other,” nodded the super intendent. "But I wish you knew tumbling.” r LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE. Having this day oualiW as Executor of the Estate oi OPHELr IA KERLEV late of Black Voun ’am. Buncombe County. Nor...
