About eight vears ago , rs; 1 h7a' Sharp, came to my ’"‘7' S !e asketl, “Did you not U :U ' ^’J'ndergaricn for several yeai < ' The answer was “yes.” 71'1 ''lV0 the person I’m looking he said. It was through ;""r h' ip ami influence that we were able to open a kindergarten. I ho first year there were 12 chil dren enrolled. We chose as our name "Sunshine School.” 1 he next year, we grew to be I tm to • from S•' annenun, Montreat, Ridgecrest, ™.ral, i ..teen. One nay a mother asked if her little girls could be cared for all day. This was a challenge! h". we would keep her children all day. So many of our mothers work and need to have their chil dren taken care of all day, she would like for them to be in a group, and feel at rest while she works. By some mysterious means, the word got around to other mothe. >, and before long there were a number of children staying all day. Every year, I realize that there was a need, a great need for an established nursery in Black Mountain. Two years ago. little David and Donna Fellows came to us from Ridgecrest. Through the children, we began to know Jack and Edith Fellows. One day Jack said to me: “What you need is a larger place so that you could care for more children.” The question is, “where to find a place?” Well believe it or not, Jack has found a place! Had he searched the wide world over, I don’t think that he could have found a better ■ location than the “Monte Vista.” j In September we plan to open a nursery, kindergarten and first grade. Ofter all of these years. —Turn to Rage 10 DEDICATION OF OLD FORT ROAD JULY 9 , Dedication of the new Old I Fort highway has been set for 11 a.m., Friday, July 9, on the steps of Rhododendron hall at Ridgecrest.

Daily Vacation Bible School At Swannanoa First Presbyterian Church U Dickens' Stars Take Victories The Black Mountain All-Stars, led by M. C. Dickens of McMurray Chevrolet company, won a double header from Clinchfield of Mar ion here Saturday evening. In the first game the locals shaded the visitors 7 to 5 as Everett Stephen son hurled three-hit ball. The Stars found their batting eye in the second and walked off with a convincing 14 to 7 victory. The first game saw the teams battle on even terms until the third when with the visitors ahead 3-0 the locals nailed down the decision by scoring five runs on one hit in their half. They counted two more in the fifth and Clinchfield rallied for two in the seventh but it was too late to do any harm. Clinchfield had full stean^sbead and rushed over a run in the*first and three in the second to take the lead in the windup. But here Stephenson, on orders from Man ager Dickens, turned off the steam and the Stars took the track to knot the count at 3-all in the bottom of the second and go on to a commanding four run advantage in the third. The locals scored three in the fourth and fifth and one in the sixth. Reese hit a homer for Black Mountain in the second game and L. Robertson hit successive triples in the fourth and fifth.
