Outstanding Program Saturday Black Mountain will be fortunate to be able to enjoy the type program which will be presented by the Department of International Affairs of the \\ oman s club at 7:30 Saturday evening. Feb 20. in the Fellowship Hall of the First Bap tist church here. Principal speaker for the occasion, the Rev Gertrude Harris, is being sent to Black Mountain by the Koinonia Founda tion of Baltimore. Md.. to give informa tion about opportunities through that organization for world service, especial ly in countries that have recently gained their independence. Other speakers will include Dr. Rob ert H. Spiro, Jr,, president ol Blue Kictge Assembly, Dr. W. D. Weatherford, and Mrs. Walter A. Davis. For those interested in helping the hungr>r two-thirds of the world, this pro gram 'will provide an excellent oppor tunitv to have their questions answered as to how the job may be accomplished. Also they will learn from Dr. Weather ford the results of his study and re search in the five states in the Appala chian range. This is a worthy program that the Black Mountain Woman’s club has undertaken. One of the best ways to show our interest is by our attendance. Raleigh Roundup ASSOCIATION — It is inter esting to note that each an nouncement of a candidacy for political office is usually ac companied bv side statements to the effect that the candidate is identified with such-and-such an organization, machine, or political faction. Further down the line, the candidate is to a great extent supported or opposed on the basis of who Ins friends are. ONE OR OTHER — In other words, if So-and-So is for him. then of course that means that Thus-and-So will be agin him. It is always near impossible for a candidate to get the sup port of two opposing local groups. Ho must sottlo for one—and then hope that the one on his side of the fence will in the end bring to him more votes than the opposing group would have. McDonald and hoey — It is a quirk of nature that people iust seem to work harder “agin" something than for something. Condemnation by association may have its merits, but it has its weaknesses, also. Several personal examples come to mind. In 1940. I rode to the Na tional Democratic Convention in Chicago with Dr. Ralph Mc Donald. who had been defeat ed bv Clvde R. Hoey in a bitter contest four years earlier. 1 rode back from the Conven tion with Gov Clyde R. Hoey Back home, there was a hornets nest. My political friends who were friendly to Gov Hoey were later antagonistic toward me. Mv so - called McDonald friends felt the same way. be cause of my association with Gov. Hoey. I hasten to say that neither of the gentlemen involved shared the feelings of theii arderd supporters and both remained mv friends. AT WHAT TIME? — Later when I was administrative as sistant to U. S. Senator Josial William Bailey. I was consid ered a conservative. I never could see why That line of reasoning would make every employee of big business a conservative By the same token. Bill Whit ley— now secretary to U S Sen. Everett Jordan—may be considered by some to be £ conservative But before be ing associated with Sen. Jord an. he was secretary to U S Sen W. Kerr Scott Now. at what exact time die Bill Whitley cease to be a lib eral and become a eonserva five? My answer is that Bil Whitley is probable what he was when he was working foi the late William B. I'mstead whatever that was. RECORD ONLY — It al adds up to the fact that the only way to know—to really know—what a man is. or whal he will do under a given cir cumstance. is by his deeds— his record. For example: John Larkin; and Terry Sanford and C. V Henkel and Cloyd Philpott Larkins, Henkel, and Pliilpot have a record to be reviewed and studied, and agreed witl or not. On the other hand Terry has very little of a pub lie voting record—since he ha: served only one term in th< state legislature as comparer with nine for John Larkins four terms for C. V Henkel and four terms for Clyd Phil pott. NO POKE PIGS — Shal Sanford be supported or op posed because he is identified as was Bill Whitley, with th< late W Kerr Scott” Shal Larkins be supported or op posed because he is, or is not favored by Gov Luthe Hodges” No. It would appear tha the intelligent thing to do is to look at the record—when there is a record—and never buv a pig in a poke by think ing that the Unknown is more to be desired than the Known. REFUSALS — As a rule, candidates dislike being arbi trarily tied to another candi date—-except on the national scene where the party ties whole sroups of candidates to gether. , „ But here in North Carolina I am sure that Terry Sanford would care nothing about be ing tied to Sen. Everett Jord an or Addison Hewlett—and it is true that Hewlett would prefer not to be lined up with either John Larkins or Terry Sanford or Cloyd Philpott. And. while Gov. Luther Hodges has close friends who are hot for Terry Sanford and others just as hot for John Larkins, he seems to be suc cessful so far in playing it neutral. NOTES — Look for an im portant announcement from Bill Rogers, the man whom the administration recently kicked out as chief engineer of the State Highway department lie's expected to be one of the leaders in the Larkins campaign for governor Toast masters wanting a good lesson in how to talk off-the-cuff should have heard Sen. Sam Ervin, who was called on to pinch-hit for Earle Clements of Kentucky at the Jefferson Jackson Day dinner Saturda> night—the dinner was expect ed to put upwards of $40,000 in the Democratic treasury If there was any pessimism about Democratic chances against Nixon this fall, it was not ap parent at the dinner, where all was sweetness and light. TROOP 25 SCOUTS— From Page 1 out of tin cans, and many more. The group joined in loud applause for the fine work being done in the troop by Gay Wells, the Scout master, and Car! Bowness, his assist ant. “We can not praise these men too much." Mr. Earley said, "they have taken a dead troop and brought it back to life. These men deserve our thanks for their work." Refreshments were served by Mrs. Gay Wells. Mrs. R. C. Bowness and Mrs, E. E. Mir acle. KIWANIS CLUB— (From Page 1) The treasurer announced that he had issued and already mailed a check in the amount of $130 for two uniforms to the Owen High School band, and another check to the North Carolina Symphony So ciety of Chapel Hill, both grants being authorized at re cent Kiwanis Board meeting, their first of 1960. Bill Ratch ford. Don Quarles, and Chuck Siegel, chairmen of three working committees, each spoke at length on their ac tivities and proposed activi ties of their various commit tees. They concentrated on benefits to youth, including vocational guidance, swim ming and life-saving lessons. It was also announced that the local Boy Scout troop sponsored by the Kiwanians. would have an “At-Home" Monday. Feb. S, at 7:30 p.m. in the new Youth Ce: ter build ing. Sam Leonard, a past officer of the Asheville club, was a welcome visitor.

FREIGHTER VOYAGE— • From Page 1 seems so relaxed and so at peace with the world, so un conscious of the conflicts that may be going: on elsewhere. The radio operator gives us the news but since we are 1,000 miles from land nothing seems very real to us and we smile and go back to sleep or back to our reading, game or handwork. We seem to real ize with the poet that there is a Great Destiny that guides us—so why worry. St. Patrick's day — March 17. Every one appeared at breakfast wearing the green. Another boat drill today. It is getting hotter and hotter as we go farther south. Just off Mexico now. I went up on the flying bridge for a ‘look see” and saw a ship in the distance. Since we have n't seen any thing but a few Plying fish and gooney birds for 9 days I was quite excit ?d so scrambled down the stairs to tell the other? who were lolling in deck chair? on the starboard side. They ran to the port side and seeing the ship, scrambled up to the flying deck—the better to see another ship which appeared to be on its way to Los Ange les from the Panama Canal. March 22, Palm Sunday — We sat on the deck till mid night last night for it was hot inside. A radio was rigged up for us on the deck and we got the world news and music from Mexico. We follow our course on the • map each day as the 3rd mate puts a record of. speed, location, miles cov ered. miles yet to go .temp erature, etc. We are off Mex ico but of course too far at sea to see land. Armande wanted some ex citement so she announced at dinner that this is “her birth day. Every one congratulat ed her and some one stuck a lighted cigarette into a block of cake and presented it while we sang Happy Birthday. Paul says this is the third birthday she ha? had this year. When she run.- out of something to do she has a 1 irthday—that the one on the Lurline was quite a celebra tion. I appeared at cocktails in my Elsie Krausual original for which T had paid $2. Ev ery one knew about this fam ous dress shop and when I told them that I paid only $2 for it and how it happened they were most complimen tary. Armande offered me S20 on the spot for it but I shall keep it for the fun it affords me. March 23—Our fourteenth day aboard the Antinous was heavenly. There was a good breeze and a nice roll that rocked us to sleep last night so we all slept soundly and the steward had to knock on our doors and call “last call for breakfast" to wake us. Last night v as heavenly on deck—the rod of the ship, some white caps (it hap been so calm we haven't seen any for several days) the stars and especiaii. the Southern Cross were beautiful. The moon will be full tonight and how lovely it will be here more than 1000 miles from the Panama Canal. We never lack for things to do. I feared boredom on a long sea trii ke this but ev ery one came armed with idea besides games, books, etc. To night is Hawaiian Night, so I had to open a suit case I had sealed and get out my holoku, shell lei hair .rnaments, etc. Armande ha> no niuumuu but I'll bet she w .1 rig up some sort of original costume. Later—Sh did.

Worthy Cause For a period of four con secutive years this reporter was hospitalized for the sole purpose of care and rehabili tation from an attack of polio, which was contracted in the latter part of the summer of 1944. There was no such thing1 as the Salk ^ aceine in those days—nor was there even a familiarity with polio itself. It took about one week for the doctors to diag nose my illness. Nowadays, a doctor can make the diag nosis almost immediately. From 1944 until 1948. 1 spent many long hours in po lio hospital's at Hickory, Char lotte. Warm Springs, and Asheville. As anyone who has ever had a lengthy stay in a hospital knows, it can be quite expensive. To put it plainly, it would take a millionaire or the next thing to one to af ford a bill compiled from four years of hospitalization. I mention these things for one reason, and that is to re mind the readers of the tre mendous task set before the National Foundation in pro viding care and treatment for patients in hundreds of polio treatment centers throaghoui the nation. Also in the past vear or so they have broad ened their scope, and now take care of numerous other diseases in addition to polio. We were extremely happy to see the New March of Dimes Telethon on WLOS-TV meet with such resounding success. Those never-tiring celebrities who came here from New \ ork and ( alifor r.ia did a whale of a job. The true stars of the show were t h e wonderfully generous souls who pledged and gave what was estimated to be 900 dollars at the last tabu lation. Prime Viewing From the contents of this column, it highly resembles a TV review, but I couldn t re sist mentioning one of the fin est public interest programs ever to be televised in this area. This program was en titled Spearhead, which was seen over WBTY from Char lotte Memorial hospital. The program centered around an open heart operation which was performed on a little four year old girl. The program was loaded with interest and emotion. It's almost miracul ous a-s to the amount of skill a surgeon possesses in his hands. A highly complex heart-lung machine was em ployed to take the place of the child's heart while the team of four surgeons re paired the defective organ. It was an experience the tele vision audience won't likely forget. By the way. the lit tle girl recovered sufficiently to walk out of the hospital on her own tw- legs just twelve days after surgery. The doc tors expect the child to live a normal life after tw . months of convalescence. Good Prospect I was verv pleased to learn that my good friend Wade Hall will be seeking the nom ination for the State House of Representatives seat recently vacated. Like myself, Wade is a polio victim. We spent about a year together at the Asheville Orthopedic hospital. Wade is a fine attorney and an equally fine person. He has worked very hard to achieve his present position, and I think he would make a good running mate with our Mr. Greenwood. We ceita nly wish Wade all the luck in the world because he deserves it. Foggj Trip Mrs. Anna Moretz and Mrs. Lovey DeWeese recently re turned from Charlotte where Mrs. Moretz attended a meet ing and Mrs. DeWeese visited her daughter Mrs. Nadine Hutchinson and her family. They reported miserable driv ing conditions all the way down and hack, with fog and rain. Mrs. Moretz and Mrs. Hutchinson attended a meet ing of the North Carolina As sociation of Industrial Nurses, which was held in the confer ence rooms of Belk Brothers Department store in Char lotte. Friday, January 29. Miss Gertrude Stewart. R. N., was guest speaker. She came to the meeting through the courtesy of the IBM Cor poration of Washington, D. C. The members were given a luncheon at the Charlotte City club. George W. Dowdy, general manager of Belks, as their host. Send It Back Everyone who ha> had a bout with the flu bug which hails from Asia, probably wishes it was back where it came from. We had a 's'eK^ of it hack in 1957. and ended up with pneumonia. This iiu is as rough as the inside ot a stuccoed bathtub. (And you will have to admit, that > pretty rough.) Sick List , Among the many, many wno are sick is Bruce Whitaker, who was ill at his home over the week-end. Mrs. H. H. Ingle Sr., re mains ill at her home. Fir-1 Presbyterian News The annual School of Mis sions started Wednesday, heb. 10. and will continue for three more weeks. A study on Af rica will be the topic of the sessions, with movies _being shown on February 1 . and March 2 in connection with this study. The women's circles met February 8.

Dr. Douglas M Branch, Baptist state secre tary, of Raleigh, delivered the morning message. After lunch everyone was treated to some very fine music by group from this area. Taking part in the singing were the Rice ville Men’s chorus, a quartet from Asheville First Baptist church, the Newbridge Bap tist church choir, the Bethe. Methodist church choir, and a women’s trio from the Bev erly Hills Baptist church. Many were disappointed that the Owen High School chorus were unable to sing because of illness of many members and the director, Woodfin Rhodes. Genera! W. M. F. Meeting The general meeting of the W. M. U. met Tuesday eve ning. Feb. 2. in the church. During the business meeting, plans were made for the week of prayer March 8.

If hat's Gain' • . At Owen by Tim Spiro u nat is school spirit. Is school spirit yelling at ball games? Is it supporting the athletic teams? Surely these are part of good school spirit, but the true spirit goes farth er than athletics. True school spirit can be seen in the halls and class rooms of a school every day. It is demonstrated by those who are polite to their teach ers, friendly to other> and obedient in all school func tions. The spirit of a school can be seen in the way the student's dress, talk, and act. It can be seen in the way students keep, or don’t keep, their school clean and pleas ant. Writing on walls, carv ing on desks and dropping pa per are signs of poor school spirit. A clean school, neatly dres-ed students, and courte sy in halls and class rooms are signs of good school spir it. Are we helping Owen’s school spirit? The junior and seniors re ceived their - ore on the Pre liminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, or the preliminary col lege entrance test. Mr. Mar tin and Mrs. Weeman ex plained the meaning of the scores and their relationshi] to college admittance. Thi was another step in the pro grant of advising uniors am seniors in planning for col lege.
