—North Carolina's cucumber growers are expected to produce about 650,000 bushels of cucum bers for fresh market. This is an average yield of 100 bushels per acre on the 6.500 acres for harv est. If realized, it would be the largest cucumber production in the state since 1930. • CLASSIFIEDS SELL Dial 4101 A Customer is not an interruption of our work - - - He is the purpose of it.

Some of this stuff will be dated so you will know when it happen ed, for I didn't write anything last A-eek, although there will prob *bly be a column that should have eome out the week'before (I’d bet ter stop I’m getting confused igain). I must be getting better on wise cracks. 1 gave with one the other light that caused a bobby soxer :o laugh so hard that she split ler blue jeans down the side, A’hich might have been interest ng, too, except for certain found jtion garments. One of our favorite redheads is studying commercial art. Several weeks ago we heard a person being unjustly accused of partiality. Well, this column IS lartial. I know a woman that is most certainly one of the “blue hen’s ■hickens,” she got her hand pain cully lacerated the other day, it :ook four stitches to close the agged wound. She let the doc :or sew it up without any sort of ocal anesthetic, and came on back »nd finished her day’s work at her machines, and hasn’t lost any time since. SA VE!!!

Mrs. Howard Willett has been in an Asheville hospital for some time where she underwent major surgery. Mrs. Dan Watts of Canton spent some time at the home of Fred Shook last week. Mrs. Watts is Mrs. Fred Shook’s mother. Mrs. Mae Pressley had a violent attack of illness last week, and is still in a critical condition. Miss Shirley Watts of Canton is visiting Betty Jean Shook this week. Fred Shook Jr., is visit ing his grandmother in Canton. There is nothing more educa tional than to be mauled in the head until the mauler is satisfied that the maulee is dead, and leaves him lying in the ditch. 1 went through such an experience once. Melvin McGinnis acted as host to an afternoon coffee break for Minnie and her co-workers at Camp Merri-mac one day week before last. The time of year has come for wearing shorts. If one likes to look at limbs one doesn’t necessar ily have to gaze at a tree. This usually applies to the feminine gender, but we saw a male the other day working on his car in a pair of white shorts, and we had to look closely to tell if it was one of Black Mountain’s younger citi zens, or a Greek God. A daily vacation Bible school will st^rt at Mountain View church Monday, June 27. Bob Miller will be the principal, with Mrs. M. T. Shook as associate. It looks as if I will have to make a correction. Last week’s column said that Mountain View was to have 11 deasons, this is wrong. There will be 7 when they are all installed. The Rev. Fred Byrd and family have gone to Seattle, Wash., for an indefinite period. At preaching service Sunday evening, June 19, the lights went out in the middle of the song ser vice and stayed off during the whole meeting. We kept right on singing without missing a note, and finished the entire service in the dark. John L. Haines of Camp Merri mac rendered some lovely music at the church Sunday morning, June 19. He took care of all the instrumental parts, and did a cou ple of solos. Once when he was playing an introduction to a fami liar hymn that I was going to lead, it sounded so different from what I was used to that I went around and peered over his should er to see if he had the right song, this amused a part of the congre gation. Mr. Hames has a rich baritone with a wide range up ward, and he sings with a spiritual conviction that is wonderful to hear. We greatly enjoyed the Garden club meeting at Fairlawn Lodge recently, and Doan Ogden’s talk on native shrubs. This meeting was to be held at the Mountain View church, but we foresaw that too much water and debris was go ing to go “under the bridge,” so we cancelled the meeting a couple of months ago. The article on page 55 in the July issue of the Reader’s Digest voices my beliefs about religion. It’s funny how certain things stick in one’s mind. I have an in delible picture of a baptizing many years ago, we were using the creek then and it was a fairly cold day, there were only 3 or 4 candidates one of which was a frail little girl, the chilling water streamed from her tresses as she was led from the creek, her white dress Business --- Professional — Service DIRECTORY ?VE TEMPER - SAVE TROUBLE SAVE TIME - • WHERE TO EAT ANN’S CAFE Cherry St. — Black Mountain Home Cooking, Good Things to Eat.

PARHAM Home Service Representative of Carolina Power & Light Company your dream kitchen A kitchen that is as modern as tomorrow is here today. This clinging close to her slender body, her grandmother was standing in the edge of the water shouting. I must have known this child from babyhood, but this was the first time I remember noticing her, it is remarkable now she has figured in my religious life since. The water was very shallow and as the minister immersed another buxom young lady the water failed to cover her ample bosom, and cold liquid rippled around her breasts like two little pinnacled is lands. It must have been a good day for remembering. Week-end before last Mrs. W. S. Smith of Hendersonville visited the Emory Penlands, the group visited the Wood Yorks of Burns ville during the time. Patty McGrath visited relatives in Hendersonville last week. After church services Sunday, June 19, I went out and joined the Christian church in a delight ful picnic dinner, and later led singing for them in a most im pressive afternoon program. It has been many a day since I have felt so appreciated, indeed, it was such a strange feeling that 1 guess that 1 will go back every chance I get. The Grady Jordons of Columbia, S. C., are spending some time at their place on the Big Branch this week, we will try to get up to see the lovely Savonne and her chaps before they go back. Evelyn Norton of the McCoy Cove road and Donald Byrd of the U. S. navy were married in the Mountain View church last Fri day evening. It was a simple but very lovely wedding, with the bride’s uncle, the Rev. Jim Friz zelle, “tying the knot.” The little red headed bride looked very sweet in white, while the groom was dressed in the navy blues. Donald plans to make a career of the navy. Betty Jean and I fur nished the music, and Ed DuPuy took many pictures later. It was so close to our anniversary that Minnie and I had our picture made in front of the altar candles. Af terward the families and a few invited guests had a reception in the educational rooms. I drank deep of this cup of sweetness, in cluding shaking hands with the groom, and kissing the lovely bride. The happy couple went to Fontana Village for a few' days’ honeymoon. We wish them many years of married bliss, and every success. Visiting us this Sunday were: Mr. and Mrs. Pink Lewis, Charles Knowlton and family of Old Fort, and Mr. and Mrs. Phil Morris. There was a very impressive or daination service at the church this Sunday night. Clyde Gray and Clyde Nanney were ordained as deacons, and all Sunday school and B. T. U. officers and teachers were installed .
