REFLECTIONS— From Page 1 gine. He knew to the split sec ond when he must be at a certain point in the race in order to equal or to break the world’s record. If another runner raced off and left him, Nurmi refused to be drawn out until his watch told him it was time to go. His reasoning was, no doubt, that few were go ing to equal the world’s record and that if he could just keep even with the time he’d come out all right. When Mr. Davis had completed his talk to the boys, a man who had stood nearby unnoticed walked over and smilingly said: “Thank you very much for using me as an example for your boys. I’m Nurmi, the man you were talking about. Until that time Mr. Davis didn’t know that the Finnish great run ner had liked it in America so well that he became an American citi zen and remained here. At the time he saw Mr. Davis he was a telegraph operator at Duke uni versity. —R— •Albert L. Kraus of the New York Times describes our chang ing nation in these words: “In grandfather’s day, the typical American consumer paid rent for a flat, rode to work in a street car. sent his starched collars to laundry and for entertainment took his wife to a vaudeville theatre occasionally- Today he owns a house in the suburbs, drives an automobile to work, gives his wife no-iron shirts to process in an automatic washer dryer, and watches television for entertainment — all largely be cause of consumer credit.” _ This clipping will entitle Mrs C D Thomas and one guest to free admission to see “The King and Four Queens” at the Pix Thoatei. —All Bell were silenced the funeral of Bell in H>22. System telephones two minutes during Alexander _(Iraham UNIQUE COMMUNITY— 1 From Page 1 Many summer visitors have ob served, and some whose children lave taken part in these activities lave made praise worthy com- , nents about the interest and plan- ] riing on the part of Black Moun- ] tain citizens. These activities, of course, have much room for growth, but at least something positive is being at- ] tempted. As for the older people who live here, if they so desire, there are civic, social and literary clubs and organizations and various re ligions denominations in which they can take part. Whether in terest is in hobbies, music, art, nature, literature and other fields, there is some group in Black Mountain in which a satisfaction can be found which is unique to a small community. Mr. Editor, ! wonder if you have brought all this up just to see whether or not we really read The Black Mountain News. __ —One Who Does.
