Among these was Mis. 1 aul Young, a most charming lady, and a faithful reader of Bit tersweet. Toward the last of the party we saw many parents and grandparents searching tor errant children. We talked a while to Pee Wee Pruitt, who was la meriting about the high cost ol maintaining a Ford convertible and “all that goes with it” It was my understanding that I was to do an exhibition waltz with a certain young widow, but we never did find out if there was to be a dance or we never did find the widow either. When we left the park we went to East Marion and spent the night with the Bruners. We found that they had just bought a new Chevrolet.

Bullard, of Quitman, Ga., who 8 years ago spent the night near Black Mountain, made up his mind then and there that he wanted to move his family to the mountains and live here. He spent the day recently in search of a business that would keep the lar der in use, and expects to join us soon. He and Mrs. Bullard and sons, Clyde, Jr., and Allen, are of the same opinion, the mountains ap peal to them. W hen Carrol Alexander worked two or three days at the Southern Railway depot in Asheville in 11118, he didn’t at the time know he had found a life-time job. He has been with the Asheville divi sion for 26 years. His late father, H. H. Alexander, was a retired baggage man in Asheville at the time of his death. Whether Carrol inherited a yen for railroading is a matter of con jecture. At any rate he is acquainted with the ins and outs of handling express and freight, anything con cerning baggage and routine freight station jobs. He does his stint both in the Black Mountain and Swannanoa stations—and is on the last lap toward retirement. E. R. Owensby, of Swannanoa had never met our Caldwell Owen by of Black Mountain until Cald well’s Austin went kaput. The Swannanoa, an expert machinist, built a crank shaft for the Black Mountaineer's baby automobile. They became more than passing acquaintances to one another. Since the Austin manufacturer went out of business our Austin enthusiast has bought three dif ferent cars, in order to have parts for repair. Mrs. J. K. Peterson furnished one, Luther Kanupp an other. Zcb Suttles, champion fox hun ter, was happy Friday night. A lain had dampened the leaves and to the woods he went, as did his six Walker hounds. Suttles, a well known painter by day, came from an old line of hunters. His late father, William “Bill” Suttles, and his brothers Harry and Kenneth both of Ashe ville, all are hunting men. 1. H. Gibbs, 81-year-old young man, father of Mrs. Pearl Jar rett of Swannanoa, claims he needs a regular job. He has had ex perience in numbers of jobs, he says, but he never wants anything whatsoever to do with “hoss-swap pin.” There's a doubt about that business in his mind. He would prefer something that called for dealing with the public, prefer ably a job with music in it. He plays a fiddle and banjo, all the old-time tunes one may mention,— and is a jolly eonversationlist. In 1918 Second Lieutenant Nor man Clifford Shuford came to Black Mountain. He was on fur lough and was hired, while in uni form, to come back here as prin cipal of the Black Mountain school. The entire school was housed in the old Monte Vista hotel build ing, now a wooden annex to the hotel. When he returned the next school year things began to happen. He didn't allow smoking on the grounds. No gambling, such as playing marbles for keeps, was permitted. Corporeal punishment was in use, and the only recom mended way to solve behavior pro blems^ Sometimes things were rough. Home made black jacks, bean shooters and once and awhile a pistol-totin’ guy was reported. All in all, the red-headed “Prof,” as we all called him—has come through with distinction. He has been in two wars—World Wars I and II—and is one of the most admired men in the county. The Dewey Kirstein’s, Broad River, who own one of the finest orchards in the county, report a heavy crop of apples this year. Golden delicious and Stayman winesaps are plentiful. Mrs. Kirstein, mother of three boys, Dewey, Jr., Joe and Jack, explained that Dewey, Jr., walked Wherever^A You Call*.*-* I I ( ^.-•ssr ARE SOUTHIRN BILL TUIPHONI AND Tll«G*APH COMPA See How Low Long Distance Rates Are: Tbete sample rates are for three minutes, station-to-sta tiou, after 6 P.M. and all day Sunday.

GIRL SCOUT TROOP 55 ELECTS BETTY FORTUNE Girl Scout Troop 55 held its first meeting of the year at the Methodist church Thursday after noon, Sept. 9. The following officers were elected: president, Betty Fortune; vice-president, Regina Stafford; secretary, Connie Taylor; scribe, Beverly Bryan. Patricia Browning from Mrs. R. H. Kaplan’s troop will assist Troop 55 this year. Those attending were: Maty Ham. Betty Fortune, Connie Tay lor, Regina Stafford, Carolyn Dot son, Beverly Bryan, Wanda Luns ford, and Judy Marret. an estimated 3,000 miles to at tend Black Mountain high school, before buses were provided for that section. Dewey is an instruc tor in the geology department, Universary of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Loyd (that’s the way he spells it) Phillips, has been busy lately at getting a '41 Ford ready to com pete in amateur auto races. He has equipped the automobile with an- airplane seat, and up-to-date safety bars. He is the only Swan nanoa or Black Mountain man known to be engaged in entering the Western North Carolina con tests. D. L. Rumple, for six years a merchant a mile east of Black Mountain on the old Ridgecrest road, is the first of businessmen on the old route to reestablish a business in this section. He has a new store on the Broad River road. The Martins, headed by M. L. Martin, state champion fiddler, are a talented group. Not one but all of them do more than one job! Wade, who won national fame as a woodcarver, stays everlast ingly at that craft, while his brotheis, Wayne, Fred and Quin ten, in addition to trying their hands at carving, have done excel lent jobs in building with stone. Fred, a yegular Bieacon em ployee, is also a photographer. Their dad, M. L., is called on continuously to play at conven tions, fairs and gatherings in all sections of the State. He has taken top place twice at the State Fiddler’s jamborees, in Raleigh. Eight Black Mountain house wives are engaged daily in one of the most important of every day activities. They are the work ers in the grammar school lunch room. These busy women feed an estimated 300 daily and seemingly have fun listening to childish chat ter, settle hungry stomachs with soups and foods. They indlude: Mrs. Florence Melton, supervisor, Mrs. Augusta Brackett, Mrs. Hazel Creasman, Mrs. Alma Bailey, Mrs. Nell Mc Afee, Mrs. Mona Lindsey, Mrs. Jeter Riddle, and Mrs. Clark Nan ney. James V. Reeks and his assis tant, Woody Stepp are living in hope. That is, they hope they will be lucky enough to find $300 loose dollars, as did the second-hand furniture dealer, where he once worked. He found the money in a flue box of an old stove. The State Depatrment of Motor Vehicles says the death rate in North Carolina is about 60 miles per hour. Why be in such a hurry to reach the end of the road. Slow Down and Live. • CLASSIFIEDS SELL • Dial 4101 Warren Speaker At Montreal MONTREAT, Sept. 10-—Students and faculty members of Montreat College and Montreat Preparatory School today heard the Rev.
