Mr. Garrett Smathers of the Blue Ridge Parkway commission gave an illustrat ed talk on the wild flowers of that region, showing beautiful ly illuminated colored slides with gorgeous close-up views of the flowers. It was a spe cial treat for those of us who no longer want to walk the (rails, for we saw each flower in all its beauty. Others were made eager to go and walk the trails and find the flowers again. Many interesting details of how the flowers were named by the early peoples, and the medicinal and other uses of them were related. Thus we have fleabane, so named be cause it was supposed to drive fleas away, and planted around dog kennels and barns for this reason; cowstager, which made the cows stagger if they ate it; fly poison, the extract of its root being most efficatious in attracting and killing flies of all kinds; and Indian physic with its medcinal action. The hardness of the wood of the sourwood tree enables the early settlers to fashion nails from it, which they used in making their shoes. The encroachment of civil ization, we learned, has caused some of these wild flowers to receed to less inhabitated regions. The beautiful and fragrant arbutus is now in danger of becoming extinct. Those of us who still have a bit of it on our grounds should therefore prize and protect it. Goodman New Manager of In-The-Oaks Wallis S. Goodman has re placed John 1.

The crime was discovered early Monday morning when Manager Eugene Slat kin found the front door unlocked and the bullet hole in the fence.

Western North Carolina Outlet For American Broadcasting Co. Work on the studios and transmitter of Black Mountain’s new radio station, WBMT, is nearing com pletion and testing of the equipment should begin within the next few days, Eugene Slatkin, general manager, told the News by telephone this morning. Radio Center is located just off U.S. Highway 70, between the two Black Mountain schools, on the old Blade property which faces Charlotte street. The tower has been completed for several days and residents have expressed great interest in the lights which serve to warn aircraft of the presence of the structure and to act as a marker at night for aircraft. The tower is 155 feet high. Silo Circle Will Present Love Story The current light hearted comedy, “Kind Sir” by Nor man Krasna, playing- at the Silo Circle Playhouse, will be followed by “Middle of the Night” by Paddy Chayefsky. The playhouse continues to bring top flight Broadway drama to the red barn just off Route 70, near Black Moun tain. “Middle of the Night” by Paddy Chayefsky, a love story of powerful poignancy which is alternately touching and amusing — spontaneous and magnetic, will open Mon day night, when the “in the round” theatre brings its fifth production of the season to its arena type stage. “Middle of the Night” con cerns itself with the high volt age emotions of a wealthy manufacturer who finds him self approaching the brink of old age as a lonely widower, when he suddenly is subjected to the charms of a 24 year old employee at his plant. Quite surprisingly, she, dis illusioned by her marriage to a cold hearted musical ego mananiac, returns his love and the couple find themselves in fear of being thought ridicul ous by their immediate fami lies. The disparaty of their ages works into a rueful “Septem ber Song,” as they find that their plans to marry raise ob jections on all sides. The man ufacturer tries casually to pretend that there is nothing extraordinary in his finding happiness with a girl less than half his age, though he knows that his announcement will cause a gasp. Rustling with secret psy chological insights, the play tells how the business man’s daughter spouts Freudian ideas, the girl’s mother spouts narrow-minded complaints and the combination bids fair to spoil the romance. Co-starring with Frank Lo verde as the manufacturer will be Maggie Gerrity as the be wildered girl who brings warmth into his barren life. Suzy Saunders will be seen as his critical married daughter, John Steven Cox as his sym pathetic son-in-law, Mary Gon zalez as his over-solicitous sis ter, Dan Bly as the girl’s ego tistical first husband and Jo Xanders as the girl’s disap proving mother. Vicki Greene and Ann Grey complete the cast. Moore Opens Office Here To Practice Law William C.
