Reporter Learns
Hi-Top Colony Is
Making Progress
At the foot of High Top Moun
tain just south of Black Mountain
is a community called “Hi Top
Colony.” It was founded in 1919
as a summer colony on a tract of
la-d comprising 29 acres. As of
now several of these houses have
been converted into year-round
homes and others have been built
as such while more are gradually
being remodeled for year-round
occupancy. During the past 35
years the colony has changed in
character from crude summer cot
tages into permanent homes.
J. W. Bergthold, one of the
founders of the colony, settled
back in a chair on the porch of his
home overlooking Black Mountain
and part of the Valley and ex
plained in detail how this com
munity operates. From time to
time he leaned forward and gazed
across the valley to the mountains
beyond.

Four-way Light
Recommended For
Intersection
A recommendation that a four
way light be placed at the inter
section of Montreat road, Broad
way. and State street was passed
at the traffic meeting at the town
hall Tuesday night.
Walter Burgess, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, presided.
Pointing out that the biggest
bottleneck is at the Broadway
State street 1 interesection, those
present expressed opinion that the
four-way light would improve the
safety conditions there.
In addition to the light it was
suggested that State street be lined
with lanes for cars turning left or
right, and through traffic. This
would relieve the situation at the
intersection of Cherry, State, and
Church streets.
Local citizens were requested to
set the example for visitors and to
cooperate more closely with the
police department in observance of
all traffic ordinances. This in
cludes “U” turns on lower Broad
way which have become a traffic
hazard during the past few months.
The directors voted to offer the
position of office manager of the
Chamber of Commerce and the
Western Union to Mrs. William
Gibbs to replace Mrs. Laurence
Brandon who is resigning.

The reception will honor Morgan for his 18 years of ser
vice with the assembly. From 1936-46 he served as manager
of the assembly. Since that time he has been business man
ager of Camp Ridgecrest for Boys.
Morgan will retire from his present position at the end
of this year.
Assembly Manager and Mrs. Willard Weeks are directing
the informal gathering. “The many friends of Mr. Perry
Morgan are invited to attend this informal occasion,” Mr.
Weeks said.
Miss Litlzie Waite, bookkeeper
of the camp, will also be honored
at the occasion. She has retired
from her work with the Baptist
Sunday School Board.
Mr. Morgan will also be honored
in the Friday evening service dur
ing the Bible conference this week.
A paper, prepared by Dr. Hight
C Moore, will be read as a tribute
for the retiring business manager.
Among those taking part in the
recognition service are: Willard
Weeks, Dr. Moore; Dr. James L.
Sullivan, secretary of the Baptist
Sunday School Board; George Pick
ering. director of Camp Ridge
crest for Boys; and Harold Ingra
ham, business manager of the Sun
day School Board.
Improvements made to the as
sembly during Morgan’s time as
manager include erection of the
auditorium and the auditorium an
nex buildings, plus enlargement of
accommodations.
George Pickering, camp director,
said of Morgan: “Mr. Morgan has
been with the camp for 19 years,
during which the camp has grown
from 50 boys to 358. It has reached
the point in the American Camp
ing association where it is now
recognized as one of the three out
standing camps in the Southeast
United States. A great deal of
this progress is due to the work
and endless effort of Mr. Ferry
Morgan.”
