It is nice that Margaret has someone she knows to help her through the first few days. We want to say as a whole: Welcome to Swannanoa. Margaret! Swannanoa GOING TO THE DOGS Monday, March 2. 8 B-l had an unexpected visitor. He was Tippy Watkins, a dog. Oh, not an ordi nary dog, for he acted as though he enjoyed coming to school He was so fat he could hardly walk and full of mischieviousness. He seemed to find it entertaining to try to tear the dusting cloth to bits while the rest of us were do ing English He shuffled along, nosing in this and that for awhile, then found his master's arms more comfortable, who by the way is Jackie Watkins. He cuddled and chewed Jackie’s fingers. Al though Mrs. Sawyer had some trouble trying to get attention, I'm sure she enjoyed having him. (I know we did!) I hope the next time he feels the crave for a bit of “rcadin’,” “ritin’,” and “rith metic." he will come to visit us again. —Barbara Barnes 8 B-3 HAS CLUB MEETING On Friday, Feb. 27, Mr. Shaver’s class had its regular club meet ing.

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT The Swannanoa Valley Plastics Company of the Asheville Junior Achievers is getting a lot of ex perience in running a business and understanding how it operates. This Swannanoa company is made up of about 17 students from Swan nanoa. They are producing a beau tiful combination salt and pepper shaker made of plexiglass. These shakers are hard to pro duce as the material used is very hard to drill and it is hard to finish smoothly. illlllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1111111111111111111111111 cos* ■ . . but this washer gives fa ’■ -:t^g washing ;>er hxcluaive Gyra Wishing action gets 1 spotlessly clean. NO DOWN PAYMENT POISON FURNITURE STORE L -No Comparison When You Trade With Harrison” [ 0 Garrison & Co. Swannanoa, N. C. = recent school legislation HB lio. introduced by A. C. Edwards of Greene and C. Gordon °f Hcr,ford' appropriated Sdn.OOO annually from the General fund to the State Department of f l*blic Instruction to employ six area music supervisors to train leaders to promote music in schools, churches, and communit ies. The House Education Com mittee amended the bill to delete the duty of the supervisors to pro mote music in churches and re ported it favorably. It was re ferred to Appropriations on Feb. 5. SB 124. introduced by Adam J. Whitley, Jr., of Johnston, and Hamilton Hobgood of Franklin, provides for non-credit courses in nitlVFR TRAINING and safety in public schools. It appropriates $339,720 per year of the biennium to be added to the 9 months school term and to be apportioned by the State Board as follows: (1) $9,720 to administer the program. (2) $330,000 for teachers’ salaries and equipment. To Education. HB 319, introduced by Roy Tay lor of Buncombe, requires Grand Juries to inspect and report on the condition of school buildings, visits and reports to be made only once each six months. To Educa tion. This bill supersedes HB 168, which Representative Taylor in troduced earlier. The first bill, contrary to Mr. Taylor’s intent, required Grand Juries to report upon operation of schools as well as condition of buildings. HB 197, introduced by J. Ray nor Woodard of Northampton and others, requires school buses to be routed so as to get within one half mile of all school children who live a greater distance than one and one-half miles from the school to which they are assigned. The present law requires buses to be routed within one mile of such children. To Education. HB 228, introduced by Odell Williamson of Brunswick and others, places upon the state the responsibility of purchasing orig inal school buses. Present policy requires the county to purchase original buses; state to purchase replacement buses. To Appropria tions. Elementary Essay WORMS AND PARASITES We all know what ringworms and hookworms are, and what their cure is: but do you know what a wiggle-worm is or a cure for the disease? The eighth grade is very desperate to find a cure for it because w'e have several bad cases in each room. While not naming anybody, we all know who has been bitten by the germ. A temporary cure for this disease is “the board of education” ap plied to “the seat of learning.” Parasites, as you knowr, are something that live off some liv ing plant or body. Ours are no exception to the rules of science because Larry Gravette and John ny Edwards stick to each other all the time. We feel that many people who have “borroeitis” should also be classed as parasites. All groups contain these varieties, and we are hoping that science will come up with a vaccine of prevention which will be a permanent solu tion. Reporter David McMahan These finished shakers are sell ing at a price of $1.00 each, and we think this is a very fair price for the finished product. Anyone wishing to purchase one of these beautiful and useful shak, ers can get one by contacting any of the Junior Achievers of Swan nanoa.

It was picked as one of the many outstanding essays turned in to the teacher. CAN COMMUNISM BE CONQUERED? I live in a small town in the South Atlantic Division of the United States. Even though it was a small place, it was my home and mine to be proud of. After I finished my education, I got a job with the Junior Chamber of Commerce. We had lots of tourists in the summer and I was head of the “Welcome to our Moun tains" committee. One day I re ceived a telephone call from Washington. I). C. I was told a man from Moscow, Russia, was spending a couple of overnights in our town on his way to Cali fornia. I was to make overnight arrangements and show him what our part of the country offered to its free peoples. He would see a free growing people, working together and accomplishing their good. This kind of life was dif ferent from his. He came from a place controlled by the govern ment. They did not have our Bill of Rights or a government repre sented by the people. With these thoughts in mind, I met him at the airport at noon. It was to my surprise to find a well-cultured man who seemed not at all astonished when we dis cussed the importance of freedom of press and speech at our noon lunch. The things he told about his people were thoughtful and left a sense of love and sympathy for them. Then I learned he was in the United States to learn about our Democracy and carry the truth to his people, though in secret. That afternoon and the next day we visited many points of inter est and learned about each other. We visited the rural districts, in dustrial region, historic markings, educational centers, and talked of our natural resources and gov ernment affairs. The things that made a bigger impression in his mind to carry back to his people was our freedom of worship and democratic way of life. On our way to the airport, we stopped at our small city library. When he said, “Your books are not published by the government! W’e have millions of books, but they are published by our govern ment”, it gave me a vivid picture of his library compared with ours. As he boarded his plane for California, I had a feeling that we both had learned a lot that will be helpful to both of uS. I had not done all the talking be cause he had made the communist ic life of his clear to me and yet it had muddy spots in it. “Can Communism be con extra privilege of hearing the stor ies of Jesus. In January we were privileged to hear a talk by the Rev. O. C. Nelson, the Southeast Area Secre tary of the American Leprosy Missions. Inc. Following the talk we saw a very fine color film about a little African boy who contracted leprosy, was taken to a mission hospital for proper treat ment and after some time he was pronounced negative and allowed to go home again. The children found this film to be very in spiring and interesting. Project No. 2: Stamps for Africa We have been working for sev eral months on this project of col lecting cancelled stamps OVER 3c— also air mail, special deliver ies, all United States commemora tives, foreign and all precancelled stamps. We send our stamps to the Sudan Interior Mission in New York which sells them to collect ors. The proceeds are then used to purchase supplies and equip ment for the Bingham Memorial Hospital in Jos, Nigeria, in West Africa. Many, many stamps have come in but the boys and girls have learned already that when we set out to help others there should not be any stopping place in our efforts. So we will continue on throughout the school year with both projects. Meeting Schedule MASONS Black Mountain Lodge No. 663 AF & AM. Stated Communica tions First Friday of each month, 8:00 P.M.

Copeland, commander. quered” is a question that con fronts every person in the world today. It is like a disease. It doesn’t pick out certain classes of people to attack, but is a threat to all our lives today. Communism is also spreading like a contagious disease. It is getting a foothold in all parts of the world, in the United States, South America, China and other important places. If someone told you, you were the only means of saving the world from Communism, you would think him nutty. But it is through you and I who still can enjoy life in a democracy that this problem can be settled. Also with closer relationship with them so we can win their trust in us and ours in them. How are we going about it? Will we arrive at a conclusion by talking and writing essays about it? Are we going to let teachers who belong to Communist parties teach our future men and women? How about propaganda; is that going to melt the hearts of the ones affected by this disease or will they surrender under our gun fire or we under theirs? I think “no” is the answer to this quest ion because we don't want to take their lives, but convince them of the kind of “dictatorship” they are living under and how they could have a free Democracy. But, on ihc other hand, they are trying to sell us their doctrines. What is to be done? It is going to be a hard fight to keep Democracy? The answer to these questions and “Can Communism be Con quered” will be in the hands of Grandfather Time and You — “Can Communism be Conquered?” How? —Jacqueline McMahan —Experiments in the practical application of a newly devised method of testing for the solids not-fat content of milk begins soon at the University of Mary land.
