Without a doubt, “Mountain Musings" by tiene Byrd is the best and most popular column appearing in the Black Moun tain News, and well it should because there is an air of pro fessionalism about the column that is sorely lacking in the other ones—yours truly in particular.

I wish you well in your new venture Gene my old cohort. VVe will miss you no end and nope for a visit from you in the days to come! The Gem of Mother Nature Every spring for the past lew years, a male scarlet tan ager has stopped by our hum /.le abode for nourishment and rest. Heretofore, he has only remained for one day at the most and then would depart for a destination unknown. Well, we spotted a brilliant gentleman about two weeks ago, flitting about enjoying himself immensely. I was happy to have had the rare opportunity of spotting the (in our opinion) most beauti ful of all birds. It’s now three weeks latter since we first saw him and lo and behold if he isn’t still around—and as tame as the Chicago White Sox (as of late). Sure hope he and the better half (although she can’t compare in beauty) hangs a round all summer! Beacon Splits Two Games Tuesday, May 2 the Beacon Blanketeers romped over the Olin-Mathieson Indians with the greatest of ease. So help me, I can’t remember the score. Came Saturday, May 6, and the real tough Champion Y team from Canton rolled onto Nolan Field. This was ex pected to be a squeaker from the beginning and the forcast was correct. Beacon, with Jess Owensby pitching, was well in command leading 4-2 in the seventh in ning. Before the dust had settled in the eighth inning, Champion Y had gone ahead (i-5. Jess pitched good enough to win, giving up only three earned runs, striking out ten while walking only two. Rogers made two errors at shortstop but vindicated him self nicely by putting a home run ball into orbit and driving in three of Beacon’s five runs. Better luck next time boys, you’ll find the handle before long! Swannanoa Garden Club The garden department of the Swannanoa Woman’s club met Tuesday, May 4, at the home of Mrs. W. B. Stone in Grovemont. Program leader was Mrs. Joseph Dunlinson who pre sented a flower arrangement. She dwelled especially on the “Fan Shape” which is used so extensively in church arrange ments.

I had a wonderful time last Friday meeting with many, lovely ladies at the United Church Women fellowship day held at the Montreat Inn. I especially enjoyed the devo tional period.
