Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Howie visited the Monroe Howies and new baby. Also visit ing the Monroe Howies Sunday af ternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Bud Elkins and children, and Murley Williams, all of Burnsville. The Loyn Howies and Charles Bryant | went on a picnic Sunday. We were sorry to learn of the illness of G. K. Morgan of Old Farm School road. We hope he is better. Visiting Mrs. Burnette Saturday were her daughter-in-law, Mrs. B. C. Burnette of Bee Tree road, and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Howie. Visiting the C. M.

Lawrence Howie happened to a very bad accident last week while unloading u’ood at the Canton paper mill. He fell from the top of the wood on the truck, injur ing his right arm, shoulder, and head. Luckily his arm wasn’t broken. —Norfolk, Va., was known as the “Cradle of Invasion” during World War n for it was here that the Atlantic Amphibious Force was created on March 14, 1942. From page 1 men in person who could make it up the 50 feet of rope, with no knots, climb through a box like structure without getting knocked unconscious, and make his way down the tree. That was part of the obstacle course we inherited. The sergeant said the 102nd did it but I never did believe him. When we took over their training ground, we thought for sure that it was something that had been prepared special. Arnold made me very unhappy by verifying what sarg has always claimed. It had been there before. Just to set the record straight —I never did get up that rope and through the “tree house”. No matter how nice the sergeant talked and how much he pleaded, I always fell a few feet short. One day he really exploded, blew his top is a better expres sion, and yelled at a GI who couldn't make it either, “What would you do if there was a J German in that little house?” To • which the private replied, not < making himself any more popular , by so doing: , "If they was fool enough to get f up there they could get down ; by theirself.” He wasn’t too grammatical but T there was logic in what he said. I Mrs. Crawford Given Watch ! The executive board of the Black Mountain Woman’s club i held its last meeting at the home ' of Mrs. Willard K. Weeks at ! Ridgecrest. Mrs. W. A.

Eckles 7 341 Member Asheville Board of Realtors BLACK MOUNTAIN, N c BOX 794 COATI 1954 Notlonol Wildlif# F«d«rollo» Whether we read the accounts of early explorer naturalists or those of current tourists in Mexico and Central America we are likely to hear of the antics of coatis. They may be seen in zoos but they ap parently are at their best in a semi-wild condition where they are frequent visitors to camps. A male Coati may measure over four feet with half this length be ing a highly eloquent tail. The animals may stand a foot high at the shoulder and weigh nearly 30 pounds. Usually they are smaller however, with the males being larger than females. Coatis walk flat footed and each foot shows five toe marks. The nail marks may or may not show. The track looks something like that of a eat only it is half again as large and the toe pads are more elongated and are usually closer together. It is reasonable that these ani mals should remind one of a rac coon because the two animals are closely related. Coatis like rac coons can swim, climb and are good travelers on the ground and they are more likely to be active in the day time than are the raccoons, and are apparently least actve around midnight or noon. Like raccoons Coatis feed upon a variety of things. They may eat birds and their eggs, insects in various stages of development, crawfish, mussels, squirrels, mice and other small animals. They also like fruits such as apples, peaches and berries. The young are born in spring or early summer about 11 weeks after mating. There are usually from 4 to 6 young in a litter. Coatis are found within the Unit ed States—in Texas, Arizona and N'ew Mexico—but always rather close to the Mexican border. Ap parently they are pushing their range farther to the north as seems to be the case with so many oth er animals. Coatis are clowns when they want to be. They have a varied group of sounds which they pro duce — grunts, screams, snorts, whistles and hisses — with each probably signifying a different re action of the animal to the situa tion in which it finds itself. This unique mammal is of in terest to the student of nature who General Insurance * Surely Bonds s ecurity (itis faction or vice ALL KINDS OF INSURANCE - ANY KIND OF INSURANCE The Policy with PERSONA!
