DOWNWARD. — When the Leg islature cante to Raleigh, five months ago last week, North Caro linians were told that ^52,000,000 in new taxes would be needed to see us through the biennium ex tending from July 1, 1955 through June 30, 1957. After the Legislature had been here for about four months, the amount on new taxes needed was reduced to $37,000,000 for the bi ennium. Three weeks later the need for new revenue plunged again. This time she slipped to about $28,000, 000. There was some more figuring. We heard whispers that all signs pointed to an estimate showing we could struggle along during the 1955-57 biennium on $25,000,000 new taxes or less. Then, on Friday, Governor Lu ther H. Hodges addressed a spec ially called joint session of the House and the Senate. He said the new tax require ments would be $20,000,000—ten million for each year of the bien nium—and he would leave it to the General Assembly as to where this money should come from. DIVIDENDS. — All of these re ductions from $52,000,000 in Janu ary to $20,000,000 in May—led some wag to remark that we would he down to even money if the Leg islature could stay here until June. ‘‘Yeah,” said his friend, “and 1 do believe at the rate they're go ing they would be paying us di vidends if they could stick around until July.” FEW DAYS TO GO. — If the Legislature stays here until May 25—and that’s just around the cor ner—it will establish a modern record for the number of days .-.pent in the service of the State. We predict the old record of 1931 will be broken. The old leg islative expert, Secretary of State Thad Eure, pointed out last week that the champ session of 1931 began on January 7 and ran until May 27. So, if this session makes it for a few more days, it can become the giant of them all. It began on January 5. By staying until May 25, it can establish a modern record and equal that one set up 24 years ago. Should it stick around for one day extra, it could really go dowm in history. TEN COUNTIES. — Approxi mately one-half of all money com ing to the General Fund—the fund which runs the schools, the State, colleges, etc.—comes from only ten counties. These ten top counties—in the order named—Mecklenburg, Guil ford, Forsyth, Wake, Durham, Bun combe, Gaston, New Hanover, Ala mance, and Cumberland. Togeth er, they brought into the State Treasury last year a total of $86, 891.631. The ten lowest counties are Al leghany, Jones, Gates, Pamlico, Currituck, Avery, Tyrrell, Hyde, Camden, and Clay brought in $1, 076,126. To give you an idea of the un even distribution of wealth in North Carolina, Mecklenburg brought to the State $18,133,715 while Clay at the bottom, brought in $52,248. h's interest ing little weekly called “Facts”_ and facts they are—Felix Gris sette shows that one out of every 12 children born in North Carolina «3 born out of wedlock. This is an astounding figure. But among the non-white children, one out of five ts born out of wedlock. Pender County leads the State .•n this regard, with 16.8 per cent —or one child of every six—being born out of wedlock. Mr. Grisette makes an informa tive observation as follows: “It is also interesting to note that births out of wedlock fluctuate up and down from year to year in about the same manner as total births. For both white and non-white per ^nns, births remained low during the depression years, increased re markably after the war, and have remained high in recent years. The same is essentially true for births out of wedlock. They have varied in the same direction and degree as have all births. “It would thus appear that the forces in American life which shape birth rates have similar ef fects irrespective of whether the parents are married couples or otherwise.” DRUM. — The current number of Sports Illustrated, the thriving tittle weekly magazine started last August by Time, Inc., has an in Black Mountain NEWS One of Buncombe County's fore most weekly newspapers published every Thursday at Black Mountain, N. C., in the heart of the prosper ous Swannanoa Valley, great re ligious and resort center and grow ing industrial area. Gordon H. Greenwood Editor and Publisher Entered as second class matter September 13, 1945, at the Post Office in Black Mountain, N. C„ under the act of March 3, 1879. Subscription Rates Buncombe and McDowell counties $2.00 per year Outside Buncombe and McDowell $2.50 per year Awarded A rating by Commun ity Research Bureau. teresting article by Famed Writer Paul Gallico entitled “Manteo’s Red Warriors." The storv, over three pages in length, tells' about the fun of catch ing drum—referred to more fre quently as channel bass—around Oregon Inlet. Here is one paragraph from the piece: “I’ve had a crack at many a game fish in all kinds of waters. I dm writing this atop an alp in Central Europe. I shall come home this spring. I shall go chan nel-bass fishing off Manteo, for that is what the heart yearns for, the wonderfully exciting spray whipped coasts of the Carolinas and the exquisite and lovely thrill of the blue waters turned to crim son by the rising of the red drum.” In case some of you folks are interested in the proposition of go ing out after drum in the Nags Head—Manteo area, the cost for five in a party is $40 per day, and. as Gallico points out, this in cludes the use of a rod if you don’t have one. It’s the best day’s fun you can have for $8.00. Pou will find Sports Illustrated interesting. This is the magazine which has given Dickie Hemrick and State College basketball a great deal of national publicity in recent months. WEDDING BELLS. — Speaking of Dickie Hernric reminds me that the Jonesville giant in June gets a bride along with his diploma at Wake Forest. Dickie Hernric, six-foot-six, is marrying Janice Saunders of Rich mond. She is a shade over five feet. Dickie met her at Wake Forest, where for two years she was a student. Her father is a psy chiatrist and a member of the col lege’s board of trustees. On the night the people of his section of the country honored him with a big to-do in Jonesville, giv ing him a new car, he gave his bride-to-be a diamond. This fall the Hemrics will move to Boston, where he has a contract to play with the Boston Celtics. LETTERS VIEW OF THE BEST Ridge Spring, S. C. April 8. 1955. Black Mountain News, Black Mountain, N. C. Dear Editor: While on a recent trip to my home at Black Mountain, the week end of April 3, I visited Mountain View church on the North Fork road. I stopped there primarily to get the view from this spot. I was alone that Sunday after- 1 noon and I am inclosing a poem that I composed while there which j expresses the inspiration that I ; got. If you can use this little piece ( of composition in your paper some time, you are welcome to do so. There are many beautiful spots ' around Black Mountain, which I ! have discovered in my 34 years ‘ of summer stays there, but I am , sure that this one at Mountain 1 View is one of the best. ! Yours truly, P. J. Quattlebauro. ■ FROM SEATTLE 1854 North 52nd Street, J Seattle 3, Washington, \ April 6, 1955. < Black Mountain News, i Dear Sir: A few weeks ago some one ; (probably Miss S. Kate Davidson, ' Swannanoa), sent me a copy of ' your very interesting paper. Hav- ( :ng mislaid the paper, I have no 1 idea how far one dollar will go— but at least it will give me a few copies. ( I spent four summers in Black i Mountain and Montreat many, ; years ago, and had a day there j about ten years ago and a couple of days five years ago. That area around there never i fails to intrigue me, and I always urge Seattle friends to include 1 Black Mountain and Montreat in ' their itinerary. Very sincerely, Mae F. Carroll. GOOD SAMARITAN Dear Editor: : The Lord will provide. Some- 1 times he uses a 12 year old lad as ' in the Bible times the loaves and fishes of a lad were used to feed the 5,000. Sometimes he uses the ladies of the church who bring in ! delicacies from their kitchen. ; Sometimes a grown man in the neighborhood who brings in fuel for the fire, never missing a day 1 of a six-week period. Larry Fisher, a 12 year old boy, found the lady sick in bed and looked after her until the ladies found out and they took over. Then when they were snow-bound, the young Samaritan took over again, trudging up the hill through the snow, laden with good things from his mother’s kitchen—sometimes preparing the meals himself with remarkable skill, and staying at night just in case. This is not a sales scheme to get anyone to move to Black Mountain or Rhododendron avenue but it would not be a bad idea. You will find no better neighbors anywhere. Sincerely, Mrs. Charles Hawkins.
