One of the more able young sen ators in the 1957 session of the General assembly was handsome and erudite Bill Cobb of Morgan ton, new chairman of the Repub lican party in North Carolina. As modern as they come with a flair of publicity and sharp public relations, Cobb recently began taking steps to put new life in the GOP in North Carolina. His predecessor, Ray Jennings of Tay lorsville, needed to get back to his law practice and big, growing family. Stung by some pungent Cobb comment, Gov. Luther Hodges said perhaps the "office has gone to his head.” Not at all, Governor, Bill Cobb is just being a good Re publican. You may not agree with everything he does and says while leading the party—but there will he activity. Radio stations and newspapers will be vying for the interest of the merchant in a concentrated manner when the N. C. Merchants association holds its 56th annual convention here in Raleigh on May 18-20. The newspaper advertising' di rectors are putting on a contest for the best ads. They will have Arthur H. “Red" Motley as one of the convention speakers. Not to be outdone, the radio people have reserved the Governor’s suite in the Sir Walter for open house throughout the convention. They will also have a speaker on the best use to make of radio. Not to be outdone, the Ameri can Trucking association will have on the merchants’ program their top-flight guy. Hon. Calvin John son, former Congressman from Illinois. And, meeting with the merchants will be 150 ladies with the N. C. Assn, of Credit Wo men’s clubs. W owl You can get some idea about the automobile business from a look at new car figures available from the N. C. Department of Mo tor Vehicles. In January, G.107 new cars were sold—as compared with 8,276 new cars for January of 1957 and 7,924 in 1956 January. In January of 1955, new cars sold in North Carolina were 7.130. In 1954 Jan uary: 6,626. In January of 1953: 8,57*1. In 1952 January: 6,715. So, of the past seven January’s that of 1958 was the worst. Although admittedly having its troubles with Edsel and worried a little by Mercury Ford sales in North Carolina in January were 1,643 to 1,615 for the new Chev rolet. Other new car sales in North , Carolina for January: Buick, 479; Cadillac. 124; Chrysler, 97; DeSo to, 83; Dodge, 175; Edsel, 51; Im perial, 17; Lincoln, 31; Mercury, 138; Metropolitan, 14; Oldsmo bile, leading Buick, Pontiac. Mer cury, Dodge, and its other old sta blemates, 492; Packard, 4; Ply mouth. 506; Pontiac, 364; Ramb ler, 91; Studebaker, 71: W illys, 1; foreign cars, 117: and miscellane ous, 8. In the nation. 1958 compares this way with 1957, so far: De Soto, down 42 per cent; Mercury, down 33 per cent; Dodge, down 28 per cent; Chrysler, down 26 per cent; and Buick—although down last year—down 15 per cent from this stage in 1957. Oldsmobile, up nine per cent. What automobile manufacturers are worried over is this puzzle: Cadillac is selling good because it's big; Rambler is hot because it’s little; Olds is good because it’s flashy: and Chevrolet is way up from last vear because it’s new. General Motors, worried sick by Buick’s downfall, is now laying plans for a completely new Buick and a try for third place in sales again (behind Ford and Chevrolet) in 1959. Raleigh has changed a lot in a decade, John Harden of Burling ton Mills found out the other day. He left here shortly after Gregg Cherry ended his four years as Governor in January of 1949. In time to come, Cherry will he ie membered as one of our bettei governors—and much of the cred it for this must go to Haiden. speech-writer, greeter, and meet John Harden comes back to Ra leigh frequently on business and to renew acquaintance with old friends. The other day he did, and parked on devilish Downtown boulevard. Shortly after o, he went back to get his car. It was gone, towed in, off the street, as scores of others have been treated in recent weks. After rescuing his auto, John told a friend: ‘‘Raleigh sure has Black Mountain NEWS One of Buncombe County's fore most weekly newspapers publisned every Thursday at Black Mountain N.

Then comes Duke, by far the largest of our non-public colleges, with 5,310. These figures are from the N. C. Dept, of Education. Chapel Hill ten years ago this winter had 7,670 students and State had 5,333. Duke: 4,890. In second place among non-public colleges is Wake Forest, with 2. 289. Total N. C. college enroll ment this year: 55,000. The Chapel Hill unit of UNC has 1,320 girls enrolled this year, with State having 105. Duke has 1,707 girls and Wake Forest, 489. The largest junior college in North Carolina is highly rated Mars Hill, with 1,062. In second place is Campbell, with 780. One of the most rapidly grow ing schools is East Carolina, which has 3,367 students this year as compared wtih 1,404 a decade ago. East Carolina has 1,695 women and 1,672 men. Friends of Carl Venters of On slow county, candidate for Speak er of the House in the 1959 Leg islature, say he has the support of Gov. L. Hodges ... It looks like a neck-and-neck, right down-to the-wire race between Venters and steady, greying Addison Hewlett of New Hanover county. KEARFOTT EXPANSION— From Page 1 which we have enjoyed with the Black Mountain-Swannanoa com munity,” Mr. Riley and his assist ant, Raymond Caell, said in mak ing the announcement. “We are glad that the business has grown to the extent that we must increase our physical plant in order to step up production. “The new addition will mean ex tra employment for the citizens of this area and we are happy for this.” William H. McMurray. Jr„ pres ident of the Black Mountain Cham ber of Commerce, expressed the appreciation of the community in offering congratulations and as sistance in any way possible. “This is good news for the entire Swannanoa Valley and I know that the businessmen and other groups here will consider this as welcome news." Mr. McMurray said. “It means much to us and we want Mr. Riley and the Kearfott company to know that they may call on us for help in any way.” Construction of the Kearfott company plant on the Old Hamp ton property, two miles west of Black Mountain, was begun in October. 1954. and completed the following year.

Hardin Phone: NO-9-7134 Clouds, rain and colder weather had been forecast for April 6. Then dawned one of the most beautiful of all spring days. The glory and beauty provided by na ture created the very atmosphere for the deeper spiritual joy within the hearts of worshipers as they wended their way over the hills to the little stone church in the glen. In the Intermediate department of S. S. (as, probably in all groups) young people sang joy ously and asked for more songs. As one girl said, “I could just sing on and on!” Later, in the quiet of the sanctuary, with sweet organ music, white Easter lilies laden with perfume, prayerful at titudes, it was no wonder that when the people stood for the doxology. a true paean of praise arose from the throats of the larger-than usual congregation! The singing of allelujahs by the youth choir; an inspirational mes sage of life and hope from Pastor Perry; then the worshipful par taking of the Lord's Supper, all made the Easter morning service one to linger long in the hearts of those who were there. Mrs. Charles Jollay was hostess to the Woman’s Missionary society in her home on Tuesday after noon. April 1. Sixteen women and two men were present. Rev. Cecil M. Perry was guest speaker for the program entitled, “Entering Wide Doors.” Mrs. John May entertained mem bers of the Young Woman’s Aux iliary at a supper meeting in her home on Saturday evening.
