Dial: NO 9-5411 Mountain youth, sports pro gram has taken on a 'shall we say) rosy glow. The activities which are planned, are said to be com parable to the ones employed at Swannanoa for the past •nv years. The results have been extremely gratifying, es pecially last summer, when a complete recreation program was carried on. Baseball, swimming, square - dancing, crafts, and many others too numerous to mention were of fered. and most enthusiastic ally accepted by the children who participated. Americans, in comparison to peoples of other countries, are pretty low on the “Totem I’ole” when it comes to match ing muscular development in children, and probably adults likewise. In conclusion, a well-rounded sports calendar which Beacon Manufacturing Company sponsors in Swan nanoa, and now financially backs in Black Mountain, is of utmost importance i n building better bodies and a healthier mental outlook as well as time consuming hours of wholesome entertainment.

Carbon Monox ide Silent Killer SILENT KILLER — Carbon monoxide doesn’t make soft drinks Fizzle—that’s carbon dioxide, an innocent gas. But CO, carson monoxide, Is dead ly. It’s manufactured most commonly by a running gaso line engine. Piped through a faulty exhaust system in an automobile, it endangers driv er and passengers alike. It’s called the silent killer because it is colorless, tasteless, non irritating and almost odor less. It can kill within minutes! Authorities say running the engine of your ear in a closed garage for as little as five ( minutes may mean death. In North Carolina not a year passes but that this leth al gas claims* a number of vie- ( tims. Not as many as the j smash ups get, of course, but j they’re just as dead. The toll includes thought- \ less drivers who warm up 1 their cars behind closed doors, j aisto mechanics working on j cars in confined spaces, with- ( out proper ventilation, people ( who sit (even sleep) in park- \ ed cars with the engine run ning to keep warm. < MAN-SIZE—Wallace Gardner, line per formance analyst for Carolina Power & Light Company, works on a scale-model line structure used by Carolina Power & Light Company in planning future construction. Tests here head off struc tural failures in the field. Gardner fashions these exact replicas with which to simulate stresses on full-size poles. Motor Vehicle Department official Ollis I), (iriffin says CO frets in its dirty work while motorists are traveling, too. Griffin is assistant di rector of the agency’s acci dent records division. In many one-car mishaps, rear end col lisions, and accidents in which drivers claim to have fallen asleep the real villain may easily have been carbon mo noxide, he warns. Anytime your ignition's on watch for these symptoms of CO poisoning: Tightness a cross the forehead, throbbing' temples, headache, weariness, weakness, dizziness, nausea, loss of muscular control. CO is sneaky. In a strong concentration the victim falls unconscious without any warn ing signals. Five pointers on how to beat Lhe silent killer are offered ;>y Griffin: Check your muffler and ex laust system for defects. Make prompt repairs if nec essary. Never start your car en gine before opening the gar ige doors wide. When driving keep at least me window partially open. In traffic dori't follow the • ar ahead too closely. His ex must fumes can easily enter /our car. If you’re sleepy on the road, hen CO could be the cause. Stop at once, get out of the •ar and breathe in fresh air. Continue your trip with win lows wide open for awhile. - -Get the "feel” of a new •ar before you do much driv ug on the open road. Safety sxperts of the, State Motor /eludes Department caution hat a brand new car can in erfere with old driving- hab ts.

Speak Thy soft word In cloudy days; Nor let us think ourselves forgot When common lot Of sorrow hems us round. Let generous impulse shame the niggard dole That dwarfs the soul.

The "Little Town of Bethlehem,” now in Jordan, still lies peacefully in the December sun. Chosen as the birthplace of Christ, this unassuming village has witnessed the pageant that Is Christianity from Its earliest second. (Jordan) Stood bare and dangerous— it must be taken down.

You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. “You’ll only find what you left behind. For there’s nothing that’s really new; It's a knock at yourself when you knock your church. It isn't your church it’s YOU. “Real churches aren’t made by men afraid Lest somebody else go ahead; When everyone works and nobody shirks, You can raise a church from the dead. “And if while you make your personal stake Your neighbor can make one, too.
