I've Had It
Last week we reported the
presence of a new virus which
was plaguing the area in
which we live. V e even had
the audacity to call it a“dad
burn” bug! Well, after the
siege of it we had over the
week-end I am sure 1 could
think of something more ap
propriate to call the thing.
Our only observation on the
matter is that this STUFF is
rough—how about that? We
y [/ work and Bible study
daily.

made a rhyme. (Excuse us
Muser, we’ll leave the poetic
corner to you from now on.)
Many Thanks. Ladies
and Gentlemen
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the won
derful folks in the shop of
the Black Mountain News for
deciphering the jumbled news
report sent in each week by
yours truly, and turning it in
to a readable column.
1 have always been im
pressed by the very low num
ber of typographical errors. As
with any paper—even the
large dailies, a few of the
little errors always pop up,
and some of them are quite
amusing. In our column last
week we were referring to
church news being imparted to
us each week from one of the
churches in Swannanoa, but
when it appeared in print it
read “imported.”
We received a big laugh
from this little typographical
error and after thinking about
it we decided it could just as
easily have been imported as
imparted because the church
news was imported from a
crosss the Swannanoa river,
since we reside in Grovemont.
The Black Mountain
News Is Read In Detroit
We received a very nice
telephone call from Mrs. Kate
Taylor of Detroit, Mich., last
week. She is here for a two
weeks’ visit with her mother,
Mrs. L. H. Gibbs and her sis
ter, Mrs. Lillian King.
Mrs. Taylor told me that
she and even some of her De
troit neighbors look forward
to reading the Black Mountain
News each week. We also ap
preciate the nice things Mrs.
Taylor had to say about our
column.

ing the shutout, Jess struck

OUT WHERE THE COUNTRY CAN

Chevy

get more
work done
in a day!
Where they used to deliver 2.300
gallons of liquefied petroleum gas
in other trucks, Pctrolane Cas
Service of Loup. Beach, California,
can now deliver 3,500 gallons a
day! That’s 7 days a week usually,
over hack trails and up into high
rock country with maximum GVW
loads. And with Chevy’s Torsion
Sjning Ride paving every foot of
the way! “You don’t get any more
jolting on washboard roads than
you do in a passenger car, or any
side sway on curves,” says driver
Bernie Stone. “/ used to take some
rough roads at from 5 to 8 miles
an hour. Now I can go 30 over
them.” Petrolane has over 200
Chevrolets hauling for them.
If you think were excited about
Chevy’s independent front suspen
sion, you ought to talk to the truck
owners who are jyrofiting by it.
They’ll tell you Chevy’s torsion
spring design is the hottest thing
to hit the industry since trucks be
gan. Drive one—that’s the proof,
short and sweet.
