United Church Women Attend Reg. Meeting Representatives of Black Mountain churches joined other women of this area in a regional meeting at Lenoir, Tuesday, March 21. A program of worship and inspiration preceded the ses sions of planning for practical work in their churches and communities. Officials of the national, state, and regional groups were heard as efforts for evangelism and world peace were outlined for local churches. The new Harvester which the United Church Women of this state have just purchased for use of the “ministers to migrants” was on view. It is the stationwagon which they have purchased for this use. Fitted with first aid kits, toys, music - recorder, charts, books, pictures, and a worship cent er, this Harvester serves many purposes for the workers to the 15,000 annual migrants who work in fields, forests, and orchards of our state. Mrs. Walter A. Davis of Christmount, is the president of the Black Mountain Coun cil of United Church Women. She and Mrs. S. S. Cooley, past president, led the local group to Lenoir.

For strictly atnateur ac tresses, the girls are doing very nicely with their parts and very convincing, too. Hel en Soos’ realistic portrayal of Beth brought real tears from her fellow actresses during Friday’s rehearsal. Becky All red and Lynn Hemphill as Jo and Amy respectively carry off their bickering as true sis ters and Ann Stubbs as the oldest sister, Meg, is also do ing a fine job. Other cast members are working hard al so to polish their parts so that the final production will be well worth seeing. “Little Women” is a three act play adopted from the fav orite novel by Louisa May Al cott. It is a play the whole family will enjoy as it tells of the fun and trials of. the March family during the sec ond half of the last century.

History of NEWS Heading Is Of Interest Today The March 22, 1951, edi tion of the Black Mountain NEWS gave an interesting ac count in “Reflections” of how the NEWS obtained the head ing used on the front page. This is the account: “The new heading for the Black Mountain NEWS, which has brought forth much favorable comment during the past few weeks, was the work of Ed Leimberger of Schmidt Lithe company of San Francisco. Mr. Leimberger, who has purchas ed a home in Black Mountain, will wind up his duties with the company soon and become a permanent resident in the community”. “A man of action, Mr. Leim berger, who along with Mrs. Leimberger, spent a vacation here, was not satisfied with the old NEWS heading and decided to do something about it. When he returned to California he asked the artist in his office to prepare sev eral layouts and sent them along for approval. The one selected is that which greets you on your NEWS each week”. Investigating further, we learned that the Leimbergers did come here to live for a short time. Their home was the present site of Mrs. Greg ory's Sunshine school on Blue Ridge road. The heading has been in use ever since. W. S. (Bill) Holcombe, manager of Carolina Power & Light company’s Black Mountain office, has won “Pioneer” status in the CP&L organization for a quarter-century of service. Holcombe will receive his pin of membership in the hon orary Pioneer club at its an nual meeting in Asheville April 11. CP&L President L. V. Sutton will present the pin to him.

A year later he trans ferred to the company’s book keeping department as meter reader and collector and in 1939 was promoted to service man with the line department.

One league will be for those aged 12 and under, and the other for those aged 13-15. Teams will be organized for older girls and adults as interest is in dicated. All girls who will be not more than 15 by August 31. 1961, and who desire to play softball should register at the Youth Center. Registrations will be accepted anytime be tween now and March 31, 1961 From Paris, Illinois, to Paris, France, from Swed en to Syria, Christians find hope and joy in East er. They also find differ ent ways to celebrate the holiday. In France and some other European countries, church bells do not ring from Good Friday to Easter. According to a legend, the bells fly to Rome. On their way back for Easter, they drop the eggs which children find. Germans color eggs green on Maundy Thursday and carry them around all day for good luck. The Shrove Tues day festival is called Fast nacht, or fast night, in Germ any and Switzerland. The English are expecially careful to wear new clothes, because an old rhyme warns, “At Easter let your clothes be new, or else be sure you will it rue”. The custom of wearing new clothes comes from the early days of Chris tianity, when newly baptized persons were dressed in white linen garments. Easter has always been a favorite time for baptism. Religious processions mark Good Friday in Spain. Some times the processions include pasos, or wooden figures mounted on platforms which represent scenes from the last week in Christ’s life. Easter Day is celebrated with danc ing and bullfights. Children in Denmark and Norway trim birch branches with paper streamers on Shrove Tuesday and playfully beat their elders until they receive hot cross buns. During Lent, Swedish people decorate their houses with birch twigs trim med with chicken feathers. In Armenia and Syria, church officials wash the feet of beggars on Maundy Thurs day, while Eastern Orthodox officials hold a public foot washing ceremony in Jerusa lem. In the United States, New York City’s Easter parade and the White House egg-rolling contest are well-known cus toms. In Bethlehem, Pa., the trombone choir of the Morav ian church awakens the people early on Easter morning, and they sing and pray as they wait for the dawn. Outdoor sunrise services are observed in many places, such as the Hollywood Bowl in California and the Hawaiian Punchbowl, overlooking Honolulu. T. R. Junvitz To Represent Unit’d Funds Inc. Waddell & Reed, Inc., prin cipal underwriter for United Funds, Inc. (a Mutual Fund) have appointed TT. R. Jurwitz as a duly licensed registered representative for the Swan nanoa Valley area.

The peo ple of the valley are fortunate in having a man of this cali ber and fidelity ready to serve them in the field of securities and share with them his ex perience in this field. According to Julian E. King, Asheville, divisional manager of Waddell & Reed, Inc., the four American Funds and one Canadian Fund comprising Un ited Funds, Inc., hold over one billion dollars worth of secur ities in their portfolio as of March 1, 1961.
