Super Highway Is Only Beginning of Progress! From all indications the ‘Winding Stairs’ which used to be the only means of escape from the mountains to the east and which v ere eliminated by the opening of the new super highway to Old Fort last Friday, will, in years to come, be little more than an odd ity to be pointed out by someone as one of those ‘I remember’ when . . . Old No. 70, which was a super road in its own right when first built, served its pur pose but the growth of the mountain area, the Swannanoa Valley and Western McDowell in particular, had made it obsolete. The new road is an outstanding achieve ment for the area and for all of Western North Carolina. A few years ago it was lit tle more than a dream in the fertile mind of our state highway engineers. But by hard and persistent work the dream w’as trans ferred to the drawing board, then last Friday it became a reality as the mountain stretch was thrown open to traffic. Thus, two of the most historic points in Western North Carolina have been drawn closer together. Old Fort, western outpost of the colonists in the middle and late years of the eighteenth century, the place which the first settlers of Buncombe county used as their starting point, and the Swannanoa Valley, destination of those hardy pioneers who were restless unless they were on the move, discovering new land and exploring new country. Roaring along over the new highway one has a hard time realizing that only a few generations ago this was unconquered and largely unexplored land which the super highway now crosses. But this is just the beginning, not the end of progress which will advance as far and as rapidly as we want it to. —July 25-31 is National Farm Safety Week. Farm to Live and Live to Farm.

Besides the fast fingers and smooth light comedy patter of this versatile entertainer, Colin’s show of wonders will feature Xancy Smith, organist and pianist, who gives musical background for the performance as wrcll as her own special numbers as a stellar part of the second act. These two per formers, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw Smith, will be assisted by rabbits, doves, and unsuspecting members of the audience who will take a lively part in the entertainment. Full of surprises, the evening will be one of mystifying magic, relaxation and (upon occasion) hair-raising fun. A native of Mount Olive, N. C., King Colin as a youngster assisted Mintz the magician, also from Mount Olive, who taught him the art that was to help defray ex penses at Davidson college, where he was graduated in 1939. Later he earned an M.A. degree in Eng lish at UNC, writing his thesis on the use of sensation on the stage in the nineteenth century, a period when many magicians con tributed to the tricky stagecraft and gaudy spectacles audiences then loved. Besides making a name for him self as an after-dinner speaker ind entertainer at banquets, schools and colleges in the South, le has become at various times i teacher of English, a college VMCA General Secretary, Com mandant of Cadets at a military junior college, a co-ordinator of student activities, and a college anion director. From 1943 to 1946 Colin toured :n twenty-seven different coun ries and the United States. With U. S. O. camp shows he traveled a total of 175,000 miles, playing lo an estimated two million ser vice men while completely circling the globe. Riding a maharajah’s elephant in India, showing in the Grand Hotel n Paris, dining with the magical greats in China, doing tricks while astride a camel while gazing at the pyramids in Egypt, fooling G.I.’s on the deck of the Queen Elizabeth, playing a command per formance at the Sultan’s palace in Casablanca, all are happy meraor es of this interesting and exper enced personality. “All these things are thrills to recall” Colin said, “but one of the lappy memories of magic I have s a show we played over fifteen rears ago in Anderson Auditorium at Montreat. In honor of this oc casion I shall present on July 17 the cutest trick I’ve acquired in these many years—and she’ll furn ish the music for the evening’s performance!” HERE FOR WEEK-END Mr. and Mrs. Robert Watson of Charlotte spent the week-end with her mother, Mrs. A. L. Stephens, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Watson. MONTE VISTA Robert Edwards of South Yar mouth, Mass., was a guest at the Monte Vista hotel recently. He is a friend of Paul Tierney.

More About Former Resident Four pools centered with fountains offer refreshing bath? for the pigeons, amusement for the chil dren, and a background for a : photographer. Surrounding all this are lovely white stone paths that glisten so in the sunshine the pedestrian is blinded^^^^ A very large amusement park offers fun for all ages on a variety of rides, including a Russian Moun tain ride. It is the Coney Island of Iluenos Aires. No child in this city has any excuse for not seeing a tree or animal. The city main tains a free botanical garden and zoo. The zoo is so complete that it has a North Carolina turtle. Circuses visit the city and the North American Circus is one of the favorites. I doubt if many of its performers have ever seen North America. The Colon, one of the largest and most beautiful opera houses in the world, is a breath-taking sight. Thick, bright carpets line the floors and stains of this city block long building. Balcony upon bal cony rise to a dizzy height. Lights glow from a cluster of glass flow ers between each box of the bal conies. Lovely heavy curtains pe tition a small lobby from the seats in the balconies. One room is done in gold with exquisite furnishings. Several rooms contain ancient musical instruments and those used by famous musicians. This tem ple of art has witnessed many gala occasions. The import of American cars is prohibited so many foreign made cars are seen there. Yet, 1053 | American cars are seen occasion ally. Very occasionally since they ( sell for .<7,000 or $8,000. As a re sult many cars that are antiques here are being used there. Need I say the people take excellent care of their cars. Wouldn't you if you knew a U. S. car costs $1500 (19-10 model) and you made about $50 a month. Even so, traffic lights are used at one intersection only and the first day it took eight po licemen to enforce them. Other intersections in the city have po licemen in their elevated, unbrella covered stands during the rush hours. The problem of intersec tions in the residential sections has been rather cleverly solved.
