His wrecker [‘couldn't move the tractor ti ;iilor load of cattle which L:lS stuck on the mountain of Black Mountain. But even though he couldn’t ,, ,ve the truck there was something he could do. He icould go and get the driver something to eat. He hur led back to McMurrays with his wrecker, then on home to pick up a hot dinner for the driver who had been stuck gnd without food for sotne time. About the time that Mr. Frady left to go hunting food, Austin Dickens of the Me ld array force went down the mountain to see if he could Lnder any help to the strand ed truck. He soon saw' that 1),. couldn’t, made a mental note of the situation and left. Back at McMurrays Gabe Peek, wanting to see what was happening, jumped in his car end headed for the trouble spot. He didri’t stay long, but got in his car and drove away. Meanwhile back at the ranch—excuse me, in the kit chens at three Black Moun tain homes—three ladies went hurriedly about the task of fixing the finest “take-out” dinner it was possible to do on such short notice. Urged on by their husbands, the wo men did themselves proud and Soon the three men were on their way with baskets crammed full of steaming food and jugs of hot coffee. Back at the site of the Stalled truck the hungry driv er waited for help and tried to keep the load of restless jattle quiet. Then as if by prearranged [ignal three cars appeared, ihree men alighted, each car ding a heavy basket. The tien looked at one another Sheepishly, then started to augh. The startled driver lidn’t know what to say hut is his benefactors looked on le tore into the food. What had happened? Each lad seen that the driver was iadly in need of nourishment Hid had quietly decided to do lomething about it. As a re mit the appreciative driver Iras perhaps the best fed man n buncombe county. In the Suture he intends to arrange ill of his breakdowns in or Icar Black Mountain. —R— —Turn to Page 8 hitman Tells Sen's Club of iimel Plans "Our company selected Western North Carolina as ne site for our new plant for evi-ml reasons, but chiefly cause of the healthy labor pirnate here,” Elkins O.

A Fireman’s Prayer When I am called to duty, God, Wherever flames may rage; Give me strength to save some life, Whatever be its age. Help me embrace a little child Before it is too late; Or save an older person from The horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert And hear the weakest shout. And quickly and efficiently, To put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and To give the best in me; To guard my every neighbor and Protect his property. And if according to Your will I have to lose my life, Please bless with Your protecting hand, My children and my wife.

Search Is On For New Post Office Site It has been learned from an authoritative source that sev eral properties are being con sidered as a possible site for a new post office building in Black Mountain.

Officials are also interest ed in three other locations on West street, directly behind the present building' on Broad way. One requirement is that there be at least 15,000 square feet of space for the building, parking, and loading lamps.
