Phone NO 9-8180 lllillllllllllllllllllllllF. ISlrak Outlook If the severity of the weath er we have had for the past two weeks gives any indica tion of things to come, we are in for a rough winter. The kids are mighty unhappy, what with having a whole day off from school and not even enough snow’ to make a de cent snowman, not to mention a good sleigh ride. One would have to be part Eskimo to withstand the Arctic blasts of air which are raging outside today. Who knows, maybe we will have a “White Christ mas" this year. If so, it will be the first since 1947. A ■White Christmas” is a really beautiful sight and quite tra ditional, although we do not enjoy them as often as do the New England states. There are those who had just as soon not enjoy a snowfall, and their objections are wrell founded, because they have to go about their business, whether it be snow or any of a number of discomforts mother nature can uniensix. Everyone is in a mad rush trying to complete the insur mountable task of Christmas shopping as the most beloved day of days draws near. Al ready, the most beautiful mus ic of all is; filling the air, and not a bit too soon for yours truly. If we had our way, Christmas Carols would be heard at least two weeks be fore Christmas. I know of nothing which will give a per son the “Christmas Spirit" any more than hearing the wonderful old carols. My ears never tire of this sort of mus ic, and from now through the Yuletide season, the old Hi-Fi at our house will be ringing forth with the sounds of Christmas. Hy the way if any of the reader’s are at a loss as what to give “Uncle Bill ’ or “Aunt Jane" or some loved one, why not give them a subscription to the Black Mountain News. A gift of this nature would be very thoughtful and would give a lot of pleasure each week of the year. Some very good columns appear in the News and I wish this one was one of them; but alas, maybe it will improve someday. If anyone wishes to inquire a bout subscription gifts of the Black Mountain News, contact me at the above mentioned telephone number, and you trill be filled in on all details Sick List St ’-6testes iiimiiiiimimmHmmmmmmmiiiiiitiiiitiiiiiiiH Mrs. Julia Kent has been ill at her home this past week.

Report cards went out last week, and many Owen students were nervously rehearsing that lit tle speech as the school bus carried them homeward to ward certain doom. In case some of you haven’t heard, there are no plus’s or minus’s being given on report cards this year. The actual num ber grades are kept at the school. With the close of the sec ond six weeks period there , are only 24 weeks of school left. By now there are around 22 weeks until graduation time rolls around. It is high ; time the seniors were working at peak efficiency to insure 1 receiving a diploma at the end of this year. Just 22 more weeks to correct those grade ■ blunders! ; —WGO— , Christmas Concert , We hear that the band and ! chorus are working their ’ heads off preparing for the | annual Christmas Concert to . be given December 18 at the , school auditorium. Reports . from eavesdroppers indicate . that this year’s concert will . top them all. Let’s make plans > to attend December 18. i —WGO— \ College Tests • Many of the senior class 1 rolled out of bed early last Saturday morning to journey to David Millard in Asheville to take the Scholastic Apti 5 tude Test of the College En ' trance Examination Board, Ouite a few have threatened to give up the hope of attend 1 ing college after taking that | test. But they probably will J, continue applying for entrance ’ to colleges. ’ School Paper The second issue of “Ower j Highlights,” the school pa [ per, went on sale just before the Thanksgiving holidays Preparing the paper is a hard time-consuming job, and we ! appreciate the work of Editoi Jannelle Ledbetter and hei min m iiiiiiiiiiiiiminiimiiiiimiiimimitiiimiimiii stall. J ne papi1' can aan much to the school spirit. —VVGO— Basketball Season Well, Basketball season is here finally, and the pre Christmas season is half over. The teams play Leicester and North Buncombe here at Owen and Canton to close the first series of games. Starting Jan. 1 the season resumes with 12 games to play before the county tournament. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams lost their first two games, but as the season pro gresses they are getting their feet on the floor. They play the teams from Leicester here this Friday, the girl’s game starting at 7:30, the boys’ contest following. Let’s cheer both teams to victory this Fri day. —WGO— Winter Is Here Well, Old Man Winter final ly gave us an extra day's va cation, but he also gave us an extra school day in the sum mer. There was no school Monday due to snow and ice on some of the county’s roads. We didn’t see much here, but Asheville and northward areas d seemed to have several inch es. Speaking of vacations, our Christmas vacation is right around the corner. We get out of school for the last time this year on December 18. Then the students of Owen High school scatter to the four winds until January 4. WASHINGTON — As we enter the final month of 1959, there are mounting expres sions of concern over our fail ure as a country to make head way in the space race. Fail ure to launch a moon rocket at Cape Canaveral last week added to the frustration of the people and to our psycho logical disadvantage. In pre vious columns I have attempt ed to make my position clear on this issue, pointing out the lack of direction and the confusion in the space pro gram. World Trade There is another issue that is developing which involves * PRESCRIPTION SERVICE * Black Mountain Drug Co, — UZZELL'S REXALL — When you need a prescription filled, just call on us.

Jur policy of aiding Sther ountries has restored many >f these countries to vibrant economies. They are now com peting for world trade to such in extent that the imbalance >f trade is another urgent natter for this country. De spite this condition, the clam >r for more foreign aid spend ng and concessions comes 'rom the Administration, and .here are indications that -‘resident Eisenhower will ask Congress for the largest bud get in peacetime history when ;he Second Session of the 8Gth Congress convenes in January ncluding great amounts for foreign aid. It is time that rther countries help share the rost of assistance to other rations in the struggle for the preservation of freedom, a post that has been borne sc long by the American taxpay er. As the President leaves for bis visit abroad, the gooc wishes of the country go wit! him for peace for which the peoples of the world so fer vently yearn. Steps Needed Upon his return to make his recommendation to Congress in January, it is my hope that positive steps will be advo cated to deal effectively with such pressing matters as the space lag, the trade gap and the rising cost of living, to mention only three of the pro blems needing prompt atten tion. —Falsifying any documents, pertaining to the ownership of registration of a moter vehicle in North Carolina is punish able by revocation of driver license, say Motor Vehicle De partment officials.
