More Support For Christmas Decorations Needed! All merchants interested in the Christmas decorations plan as outlined by the commit tee are requested to notify W. W. Earley, chairman, at once. More pledges are badly needed if the streets are to be completely decorated this year, the chairman said. “The time for making definite plans for the coming season is fast running out, only about two weeks are left to decide what decorations will be purchased and to get our order in the mail". Mr. Earley warned. The committee has several catalogs with very favorable prices and the members be lieve that an effective scheme of decorations can be worked out if the merchants will co operate now. Although several pledges have been received, the cooperation of all business places is needed to make the program a suc cess, otherwise the efforts will result in a job of which no one will be proud Those interested in decorating the town for the Christmas season should call the chairman or any member of the committee at once. The time is short, the need is urgent. Hurry! Don't let your town down. It never has you. PATRIOTS, INC. — C. L. Shup ing. the Democratic warhorse of other years, hit the headlines again last week as one of the chief organizers of Patriots of North Carolina, Inc. 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 growing 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 $2.50 per year Outside Buncombe and McDowell $3 00 per year Awarded A rating by Commun ity Research Bureau. The organization, because it list the names of 356 Tarheels—a lo of them pretty well known—ha already made quite a bit of new and promises to make much more We need not have been too muc' surprised at the formation of sue an organization, for there are nor similar federations in most of th Southern States. Our State wa among the last to come up wit] one. In Arkansas is White America Inc. In Delaware, you find th National Association for the Ad vancement of White People. Ii Louisiana, there is the Knights o: the White Christians. The States Rights League is the organizatioi fighting integration in South Car olina, while in Tennesseee there i: the Federation for Constitutions Government. This latter organiza tion is not confined to any on< state—in fact is even now spread ing to Mississippi, Alabama, anc Louisiana. In Maryland, there i: an organization called the Mary land Petition Committee. Whether we agree with them 01 not, it is better to see organiza tions of this type formed than ar uprising of a Ku Klux Klan move ment. In times of racial foment in the South in times past we have ofter resorted to night-prowling, cross burning, and a lot of secrecy ir the membership of the organiza tion. We are not going to try to list here the items which Patriots ol North Carolina, Inc., can or can not do in its fight for segregation But at least we know who they are. They listed their reason foi being—and they are out in the open and above-board with theii intentions. SPEECHLESS.—My good frienci Albert Coats of Chapel Hill, gen ial director of the Institute oi Government whose offices are sit uated there, has a great reputation for various accomplishments—and a lot of them are due to his ability to talk under any and all circum stances. Such was not the case on at least one occasion recently. Notice of Sale of Real Estate for Taxes At 12:00 noon, Monday, September 12, 1955 at the City Hall in Black Mountani, N.

Fisher, . who now owns one of the most lu crative beer distributorships in s North Carolina. t Fisher was one of the original 3 charter members of the Highway 3 Patrol who worked his way up to ■ become captain of the Western Di t vision of the Patrol and was the i only member of the Patrol to be t come Commissioner of Motor Ve 3 hides. 3 It might be noted here that in > this time the Patrol increased from the original 19 members to over i 500. The Patrol Training School - was established under the coopera ■ tion of Capt. Fisher and Albert i Coats. It is still conducted by the ■ Institute of Government. ’ Now at the recent meeting of i Fisher and Albert Coats, Albert ■ shook Fisher’s hand warmly and i began with profuse compliments and words of friendship and praise. He was abruptly interupted by Fisher: “Well, I see you are still dish ing out the same old salve. Al bert, do you remember the many times through the years when you spoke to various groups—and es pecially when speaking to mem bers of the Patrol—you used to put your arm around my shoulders and say, ‘Yes—-sirree, when the history of the Highway Patrol of North Carolina is written, here is the man who will get the lion’s share of the credit for the wonder ful work he has done.” “Well,” Fisher said to Albert, “some time ago you came out with your talked-about book on the Pa trol—and nowhere in your book was my name even mentioned— so don’t hand me any more of your salve.” With that, Fisher strode away— leaving Albert standing there speechless — which is hard to be lieve, but true. RECAPTURE WILKES? — For 1 some little while now the Young Democrats of the Wilkes County area have been planning for the : big rally in North W'ilkesboro on ' Friday, September 2. The Democrats took over Wilkes ; for a short spell about a genera- 1 tion ago, but couldn’t keep their ' I grasp. Now it is one of the real Republican strongholds of the na- ‘ tion again and the Democrats— 1 young and old—are determined to do something about it. As one of their representatives ‘ ; expressed it at the Winston-Salem ! j rally last week-end—“We were J successful in getting rid of boot- ’ j leggers. Now we are going to get rid of Republicans.” , i Anyway, a large crowd is ex- t pected at North Wilkesboro,—one . i of which we hope to be whom . . . , LANDIS. — These Young Dem- = ocrats about the State are excep I tionally busy these days. Another , ! turnout crowd is expected for the ■ ! rally being planned for Landis. This will be held on Saturday * afternoon, September 3. , While it will not be as big a . todo as the one held in Winston Salem last week, the Democrats in the Morganton-Ilickory-Newton , area can be exceptionally vigorous j at times. I PARK DEDICATION.—Raleigh, ( which has never been exactly sat isfied with the name of the big, * beautiful State park which lies just ; outside its city limits toward Dur- ’ ham, should be happier now that it is officially the William B. Um- , I stead, a good substitute for Crab- , tree, the name of a creek which . cuts a section of the park and serves in general as the northern and northwestern boundary of Ra- J leigh. We went out to the dedication Sunday afternoon. , One of the most impressive fea- J tures of the dedication was the . fine little, modest statement made 1 by the Governor’s widow. The State is now spending approxi mately $50,000 in improving the ' roads in the park. Amos Kearns of High Point, chairman of the Parks Committee | on the Dept, of Conservation and : Development and the man who ■ supervised plans for the dedicatory ' ■ exercises was master of cere monies. Did a good job, too. It i was a fine occasion, well attended 1 by people from Raleigh, Durham, 1 1 and other sections of ihe State. > WOOD AND SPENCER.—This fellow W. Z. Wood of Winston Salem should be complimented on 1 the fine rally put on there by the , Young Democrats last Saturday. As chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Forsyth i County, he was in the forefront of I the planning/ and had good assist ance from the vice chairman, Mrs. ' W. 0. Spencer. ) Aside from the planned pro ; gram, the main activity was con . cerned with handshaking and jock eying for position on the part of ) candidates, prospective candidates, | and their prospective supporters. . It was fun. A nice affair. Well 1 planned. But nothing concrete and 1 definite materialized. ) -- 5! 3; 3 9 o; 5 | <5 ' 9 j 4 8 ; 1 : 5 1 2 | 8 3 9 3 for QUICK RELIEF of HEADACHE NEURALGIA Ease Pains of Headache Neuralgia - Neuritis with Quick Acting STANBACK Test STANBACK against any preparation you’ve ever used . . .

GI home loan guaranty applica tions received by the Veterans Administration during duly topped he 50,000 mark for the 12th straight month. YA announced. VA received 54,210 home loan ap plications from private lenders last month bringing the total received luring the past year to more than 508,000 for an average of 56,673 applications per month. The July total was off ~'i per ,-ent from the 58,738 received in June but was still 19 percent over the 45,586 received in July, 1954. YA received appraisal requests for 85,339 proposed and existing homes during July, a drop of 5.i percent from the 90,525 units for which VA received appraisal re quests in June. Of the 85,339 units for which YA received appraisal requests in July, 52,412 were for proposed houses and 33,927 were for exist ing homes. Q—I understand that if a veter and breaks two appointments for YA outpatient medical treatment, he will not be entitled to further treatment. 1 broke two appoint ments, but each time I gave VA at least two days’ notice. Will I be barred from further treat ment ? A—Since you gave VA at least 24 hours’ advance notice, you will not be barred from further treat ment. The bar applies only when veterans break appointments with out prior notice, and without good reason for doing so. Q—I am in the Reserve and 1 also am drawing disability com pensation payments from YA. Will my disability pay continue for the periods during which I am on Re serve training duty ? A—No. Your compensation pay ments must be waived during your lease from such duty. q 4 am buying a house with a Gi loan The builder has (riven me an estimate when the house will be completed. Based on this estimate, would it he wise for me to pivc notice to the apartment where I now am living ? ^ Generally it is better to wait until you have a firm settlement date before (Twins: notice that you aro point? to move. Many unpre dictable factors, such as inclement weather, can serve to delay com pletion beyond the date estimated by the builder._ «*" h»!f • 01 Bl" At UNer up mv Gl tr • 81 ratf A--VA nme « ' A COn«irto, U»‘«K your <;, d' r ' ^ ^u«tcr •f your course ]a<t w,n h»ve used UI a year’s entity, months. :h<>o| j ■ the K* .
