4 • Black Mountain (NC) News — Thursday, May 18, 1961 by Eula N. Greenwood About ten years ago one of our friends remarked: “Why can’t WE have big-time bask etball down South like they do in other sections of the coun try—in the New York area, for example?” Well, we got it—real big time basketball. To The Conference This column pulled about six laps ahead of the other runners last week when it an nounced that the Governor was going to the Governors Con ference in June, etc., and tying this trip into the adjournment of the Legislature. We got it on an innocent tip -—no scoop intended—but the day we came out, the news stories blossomed with the item. It was correct . . . but the date was wrong. June 25 instead of June 15. Apparently Improving Frank Daniels, business manager of the Raleigh News & Observer, has been ill for about three weeks now with what was thought to be a minor heart attack. He has been under close observation. Our reports are that he is recovering nicely and will soon be back at his desk. No Help Needed Rumor has it that some of those plumping hardest for Gov. Terry Sanford’s tax pro gram are employees—in the upper layers—of the N. C. Revenue Dept. Reason: The Governor’s plan would remove approximately two-score ex emptions to the sales tax—and the Revenue Dept, people themselves admit privately they can’t tell sometimes when an item is taxable and when it isn’t. Although the Governor's pro gram should bring in about 80 million in new money, odds are no additional employees will be necessary . . . because col lections will be easier without the exemptions. Henkel and Vance While Lt. Gov. Cloyd Phil pott works diligently toward a mid-June adjournment of the Legislature, the runner-up in the No. 2 race last summer has a new project of his own. C. V. Henkel, who like Phil pott has few money wants, bought the old (built about 1922) Vance Hotel in States ville for $150,000. You could not build it now for a half million dollars. Mr. Henkel is renovating the building from top to bottom and the other way, too, at a cost of about $250,000. If he makes a go of it—and we are betting on him—he may come up with a pattern for other small hotels now defin itely in the doldrums. From South Carolina The largest delegation ex pected in Asheville for the 59th annual meeting of the N. C. Merchants Association will likely not be from this State —but from Rock Hill, S. C.l The chamber of commerce manager and wife, the mayor and wife, and six other cou ples have registered already * for the NCMA meeting, we are advised. Sixteen in all from Rock Hill. Purpose: to get ideas on downtown improvement and parking from Marvin Moody of Kalamazoo, Mich., and Bill Barr of Washington, D. C., head of the National Parking Association, and parking lot operator in Illinois. Uncertain While newly covered em ployers make plans to comply with the Federal Minimum Wage Law—revised version— Mrs. Pauline Horton, veteran N. C. administrator for the U. S. Labor Dept., lies ill and unable to assist in the big change-over. Nature of her illness is not revealed. However, our in formation is that Mrs. Horton has been ill for about a month now—and the time of her re turn to duty uncertain. An unusually fine person is Mrs. Horton, solid, stable, and able —and we are sorry she must be out just when needed most. News Notes —Meredith Vice Pres. Bob Deyton and wife are complet ing a tour of Europe — left some three weeks ago via Swissair ... or Airswiss . . . with friends. —Predictions you can hang your hat on: there will be no tax on soft drinks ... no tax on tobacco ... no tax on elec tricity ... no tax on luxuries . . . iio tax on beer. No new taxes on any of the aforemen tioned items. Virtually all of the new money needed will come from: a four per cent sales tax, thus leaving as it is the present exemptions mess, or three per cent sales tax pretty much across the board, including food. —State Baptists are looking forward with eagerness to a book just finished by their Wake Forest publicity man, Russell Brantley. It will be published by Macmilan. Its provocative title: “Dance With Me.'’ At Wake Forest? —Item on Malcolm Seawell and John Larkins: “It’’s some times just as good to run for Governor as to be elected.” Salary of a Federal Court judge": $22,000. Length of term: ’till death do us part. —Thoughts while dining: State Supreme Court Justice R. Hunt Parker never eats with the other members of the court, who often have lunch together . . . and, have you noticed when out at one of these fancy eating places ? The bigger the menu, the higher the prices. —If 10th Dist. Congressman Charles Jonas is edged out of his seat—directly or indirect ly—by redistricting, he is al most sure to be a GOP candi date for Governor in 1964. Possible opponent: Basil Whit ener ... in race for Congress or Governor. Watch this one develop! Revival Plans Announced For Swan. Meth. Ch. Dr. Robert G. Tuttle, super intendent of the Asheville Dis trict of the Methodist church, will be guest minister in the revival at Swannanoa Metho dist church. The revival is to begin with the morning service at 11:00 Sunday, May 21, and continue each evening Sunday through Friday at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Tuttle has served in many of the outstanding pul pits of the Western North Carolina conference of the Methodist church in High Point, before being appointed to serve the Asheville District. The minister, Ben F. Sta nley, and the members of the church feel very fortunate to have Dr. Tuttle. They invite the public to attend each of these services. SENIOR CLUB— (From Page 1) year. Elaine Stafford Fender, winner of the district music contest in the vocalist class, accompanied by Joan Lemieux, sang “The Lord’s Prayer,” the selection which earned first place in the contest for the club in April. Mrs. George Byram of the Story Tellers League of Asheville, told the story, “The Blue Rose,” which was beautifully done and which the audience enjoyed immense ly. Mrs. John Benedict, pres ident, made the closing re marks, telling a few interest ing facts about the year’s work. Art winners’ work was dis played the abstract design for plate by Becky Burgess, and the iris clump by Patricia Burgin. The Senior Woman’s club is recessed for the summer months; the first fall meeting will be the second Wednesday in September. REFLECTIONS— (From Page 1) ate and then final passage on the floors of the two bodies. Around legislative circles in Raleigh the feeling is that most of the governor’s quality education program will be adopted. The battle over where to get the money has just started.

Serves Town, Country Too The Volunteer Fire depart ment of Black Mountain oper ates for the pifrpose of sav ins* life and protecting prop erty. We ask for no pay for the time put in on drills and fire calls. Our equipment has been greatly improved during the last few years. It now con sists of an up-to-date fire truck which carries 300 gal lons of water with booster hose on both sides, a big G.I. truck purchased from Govern ment Surplus and converted (with the aid of J. G. North cott and Grove Stone) to an 1100 gallon pumper, with two additional booster hose, and an old LaFrance truck with a 150 gallon tank. We also own a resuscitator which is available for any emerg ency use. So far, we have answered calls regardless of distance from town. Since we have been answering calls outside city limits, insurance rates have been lowered. We hope that we will be able to con tinue this service. We hope soon to be able to raise our present rating of No. 6 to No. 5. Two paid full time firemen are on the job 24 hours a day. They are Chief L. A. Allen and Jack Leatherwood. Our budget for the coming year will be about $10,000. That is a lot of money. To help raise it, we are asking each home owner who lives outside the city limits for an assessment of $5.00 a year. There are about 5000 people in the area we serve. Surely we are not asking too much to ask for your help in main taining the Black Mountain Fire department which is for your safety. If you are will ing to make this contribut ion, please come by the Fire dept, building, send it by mail or call for someone to pick up your assessment. These firemen risk their lives each time they go out on a call. It may be your hduse next. It may be mine. But the point is, we need your help and you need our ser vice. Think it over. Fall in line and support your fire department. You have an open invita tion to visit the department at any time. Come by and inspect, criticize, or give us suggestions. We feel that the Black Mountain Fire de partment is yours, and we know that you will be proud of it as each member is. The number to call if you need us is NO 9-4211. (Signed) John H. Rice, President The undersigned resident, liv ing outside the Town Limits of Black Mountain, hereby agrees to pay each year the sum of $ by July 1 to the Black Mountain Vol unteer Fire Dept, for fire protection.

It's Got Me What is so fair as a day in May and what is so lazy as the Swannanoa reporter ?—Noth ing! Yes, I’m thoroughly entwin ed in the seductive clutches oi “Spring Fever” and you know something?—I don’t give a doggone, because I’m enjoying it. Penley Construction, (under the watchful eye of John R, Penley, chief thumb masher and owner of the concern)— (that’ll cost you John) is cur rently building a new home for our family on some lots ad joining the one we now live on, Old Jim has a good view' of all activities, (well almost all activities) and being one of profound interest in any type of construction and also a nut about sitting in the hot sun I naturally am found observ ing the goings on most any time. We are occasionally refered to as “General Superintend ent,” but it’s an odd sort of a job because I haven’t been paid yet. Carpentry is an art that is just as interesting now as it was many years ago when Jesus of Nazareth toiled at the trade. Carpenters will al ways be in demand unless na tions start clobbering each other with nuclear missiles and then the only items need ed will be a large leaf and a spear. Let’s hope this never happens. May Day Program We would like to sincerely apologize to those who worked verv hard on the May Day pro gram at Swannanoa Elemen tary school for not publicizing the event sooner but we only recently learned of the details. The 8th grades were spon sors for the program w'ith each of the low'er grades putting on skits in honor of the May queen and her court. Majorie Smith was crowned Queen of the May Day by Principal Ralph Smith. The May court was comprised of 17 lovely young ladies who are also top students (scholastic ally speaking) in their class es. They are as follow's: Kay Stewart,’ Debra Law, Pat Sev erson, Brenda Williams, Bren da Wilson, Emily Crain, Elaine Robertson, Linda Presnell, Barbara Allen, Patsy Hunter, Susan Gwaltney, Janie Willis, Nancy Robertson, Wanda Kay, Rainwater, Dorothy Clemons, Linda Armstrong and Wanda Burch. Marshals for the event were these: Joe Oats, chief marshal; Joe Brooks, Jimmy Brown, Lvnn Davis, Terry Bryant, Billy Deaver, and Allen Clark. Note To Pebble Tosser It seems that a well known gentleman around Swannanoa that answers to the name of Wilbur Ward and on other oc casions Wib Ward, playfully tossed a small pebble in the direction of the May Court. The pebble landed in the cor sage of one of the young la dies of the court and she, upon retrieving said pebble, flipped it back at said tosser, with it landing smack in the middle of that big ol’ pipe that Wib always smokes. Was that rock as tasty as Dills Best, Wib ? Moral To This Story Wilbur, old buddy of mine, don't throw no “cottonpickin” pebbles at the May Court next year! Beacon Coasts To Win You might say that Jess Owensby and his Blanketeer teammates have the Olin Matheson Indians in their hip pockets. They defeated them 6-3 Saturday at Camp Straws in Brevard. It’s the second consecutive win for Beacon ov er Olin Matheson. The Blank eteers, under the guidance of Manager Wade Martin have sustained but one loss; that at the hands of their old nem eses, Champion Y of Canton, who by the way downed Valley Springs Sunday to retain a tight hold on first place. Gene Lewis had a real big hit on Saturday when in the fifth inning with the bases loaded, singled, driving two runs. Jim Johnson had a dou ble and Mark Ferguson who is always dangerous with the bat, doubled in the ninth. He had two hits in three trips to )the plate, driving in three big runs. At a boy, slugger! First Presbyterian News Next Monday, May 22, is an important date to remem ber for it is when the joint men and women’s supper meet ing will take place. The Rev. Robert Gray will be guest speaker. The Asheville Presbyterian Senior High conference will be held from June 5 until June 10 at Montreat. The registration fee is $.'1.00 with a balance of $17.00. The Swannanoa church will pay $8.50 on each conferee who attends from said church. First Baptist Church News Sunday, May 14, being Mothers Day, the oldest moth er, youngest mother, and mother with the most children were honored with corsages. Mrs. S. J. Bailey was present ed a white corsage for being the oldest mother, Mrs. Mary Lanter was given a red cor sage for the youngest mother in attendance and Mrs. Roy Cook and Mrs. A. L. Ballard were presented pink corsages for having the most children. The church Brotherhood will sponsor a Ladies’ Night cov ered dish supper on Tuesday, May 23 at 6:30 p.m. Rev. Stegall of Montreat .will show a mission picture taken in the strife torn Congo. It should prove very interest ing and all ladies in the church are invited to attend. Miss Pauline Snelson, Vaca tion Bible school worker for the Buncombe County Baptist Association spoke Monday night, May 15, at the Calvary Baptist church in West Ashe ville. Her topic was Bible School in Every Church. Also a panel presented a program on Space and its re quirements, equipment, etc., for each department. A group from this church attended. BEACON COMPLETES— (From Page 1) The ground was broken for building to begin in 1924. At the corner of the present ware house there stood a large white house, the residence of Mr. Jesse Clifford, who was railway express agent at the time. Beacon moved the house to a location now near the main highway. Ma Stanton's boarding house where many New Bedford em ployees lived until their fam ilies moved south, is shown in the above picture as one of the large white houses, south of the railroad tracks in the fore ground. The contract for building the mill was given to Morton C. Tuttle, builders, of Boston; Knight C. Richmond was arch itect in charge; George Barker was engineer and superintend ent. Dixon (Dick) Connelly, when quite young, worked for the construction company as water boy; he is still with Beacon, holding a responsible position buying raw materials. The first plant of the Bea con Manufacturing company was ready for operation in early March 1925, and Frank Laycock was general superin tendent in charge. The growth and success of the plant, due to nearness to raw materials, availability of electric power, and abundance of manpower, contributed to the suggestion made by the present Charles D. Owen to his father, to move the entire “mother plant” of New Bedford, Mass., to Swan nanoa. His vision, and confi dence in the people of the Swannanoa Valley, have been rewarded with the steady growth of Beacon Manufactur ing Co., to its present status. From a small group of wo rk ers, under the leadership of Frank Laycock, the first sup erintendent, and the present Mr. Owen, who was continual ly at the plant to watch and direct its progress, it has grown to its present size and now employs a very large number from the surrounding community. —On Feb. 22, 1909, Pres ident Theodore Roosevelt re viewed the Great White Fleet at Hampton Roads, Va., upon its return from a world cruise. .cS* Eugene Ford Main Speaker For PHA Meet Eugene Ford, manager of the local Ex-Cell-0 plant, will be main speaker at the open ing session of the annual meet ing of the Western North Car olina Public Health Associa tion at Cashiers this Thursday evening.

Bill Hickey called to the at tention of those present, the new banking' hours which are intended to serve the working people of the valley better. The chamber voted to sponsor another feature of the horse show this summer as they have done in the past. Officials of the town were thanked for their participation in clean-up week the first of the month. Following the brief business session Bill Holcombe intro duced James Featherstone who showed the film “The Atom Comes to Town.” This film made it quite evident that the use of nuclear power for peaceful purposes is not as far in the future as many would think. This power is already being utilized for providing electricity, with many more plants in the process of being built, but the atom is used for the control of certain diseases, in the manufacture of various products, and in helping to provide more healthful and nutritious foods for the nation. Dr. Richardson, who heads the committee for roads for the chamber, made a report to the members about the ex tension of highway 9 to inter sect the Mt. Mitchell parkway. Mr. H. B. Craven and Dr. Rich ardson were appointed to con tinue the investigation of such a possibility and to report to the executive board at the next meeing.
