HONE calls
V article last week re
JLo the anonymous tele
on calls which have flood
L ,hc community during the
'I two or three years
£L„ht an immediate re
P “nsc from many sources.
. had no idea the calls
had been so widespread or
that the old gal doing the
ailing had such a wide
spread variety of friends.
But that she does. If you
don't believe it, compile a
,ist of the names of those
iwh0 have been annoyed and
see for yourself.
' gne woman reported that
caller sometimes rang
,eir telephone as late—or as
]v __ as 4:00 in the morn
‘ Many said they had been
med until midnight.
How do we know it’s a
roman?
Wdl she has and does talk
som’e. In our case I’ve
■ard her clear her throat as
[ to speak but she never has.
Inc woman tricked the old
iddv into answering but she
jen immediately hung up.
IUEER FEELING
It’s a queer feeling to be
[wakened by the buzzing of
ie telephone and answer only
hear—-music in the back
■ound on the other end, a
)ugh or two — and silence,
ie calls at all times, day or
and during and after
:hool hours.
How sne seiecrs ntr vic
tims no one knows. We
ttried to establish a relation
ship by church membership,
olitical parties, by the way
She names were listed in the
phone book but no pattern
works. So far she has been
onsistent in talking only to
[the women and asking for
(their husbands.
[if that’s her hobby, I wish
he’s find something else to
fcupy her time. I’m tired
listening — or not listen
jig — to her on th» dead end
file telephone.

residing in the Black Moun
tain area?
2. What are some of the
people age 65 and older doing
during their leisure time?
3. What are some of the
hobbies of these people, par
ticularly unusual hobbies?
4. What would the people
age 65 and over like to see
in the way of facilities to help
them make better use of their
leisure?
5. What are their unmet
needs — their desires for im
proving unmet needs?
6. What would you as a per
son age 65 or older like to do
as recreation?
If anyone can supply answ
ers to any of the above quest
ions they are urged to write

Library Board
Holds Annual
Meeting
18,167 books were borrow
ed from the Black Mountain
Library in the year ending
July 1, 1961 according to the
librarian's report at the an
nual Library Board meeting
July 10.
Miss Ruby Hall, librarian,
stated that this was an in
crease over last year of over
2,000 books. Miss Hall’s re
port showed that 663 new
books were bought during the
year and placed on the library
shelves making a total of 8,
683 books available in the li
brary to date.
Adult and children’s books
continue to be borrowed with
about equal frequency. The
trend, Miss Hall states, is to
ward more interest in non-fic
tion for both children and
adults.
Among the newest books ad
ded to the library is the cur
rently popular “Ring of
Bright Water” by Favin Max
well. This is a fascinating
story of a well known natur
alist.
The Library Board re-elect

CLAN GATHERING IS EVENT TO
REMEMBER. VFW. AUXILIARY
BENEFITED IN SEVERAL WAYS
By Edith K. Benedict
The local VFW and Auxil
iary members may not have
raked in a mint of money with
their concession stand in Mac
Rae Meadows at the foot of
Grandfather Mountain where
the Scottish Clans gathered
for their sixth annual meeting,
but they did enjoy the exper
ience.
Bagpipes were wailing and
one young lady, (the only en
try of the female gender for
individual competition — and
winner too) was playing a
way near the local VFW stand
gathering interested and cur
ious spectators too near other
competition to suit Jimmy Mc
Swain, who wanted to push
her wares. So versatile Jim
my asked the young perform
er to “step over in front of
our stand, we have never
heard the bagpipes played’’
. . . result, crowd gathered and
the VFW and Auxiliary were
in business.
The breezes were chilly, but
the lassies who danced the
Highland Fling didn’t mind,
neither did the track partici
pants who drew much applause
for the high jump, the pole
vault and especially the tradi
tional caber toss. This bal
ancing- and heaving of a 160
pound pole, end over end, is
no mean accomplishment and
the winner was not nearly as
brawny as some of the other
contestants.
And oh, that bagpipe band
from Carnegie Tech in Pitts
burg! They marched and
piped around the arena attired
in perfectly pleated kilts, to
such tunes as “Where Oh
Where Has Your Highland
Laddie Gone” and “Robin Ad
air” the tune of which Handel
is said to have remarked he
would have given all his com
positions to have composed this
one haunting melody.
The men and women of the
local VFW post had one of the
tnree concession stands on tne
Meadow during; Saturday and
Sunday. They had hoped for
sufficient income from the two
day event to pay for the re
cently acquired building from
old Moore General hospital to
be moved to their new site on
the Lake Eden road. The re
ceipts were only fair and Sun
day night when all surplus
food had been brought to the
Post building some 215 sand
wiches were left. These were
donated to the Mountain Or
phanage by post and auxiliary
members who, with children of
their own, know how impossi
ble it is to satisfy the appetite
of youngsters who work and
play outdoors during the sum
mer. Although members were
disappointed with financial re
turns, the pleasure of working
together more than compen
sated.
Many persons from Black
Mountain attended the two

From Silo
Mrs. Carlton Konrad has
made a generous offer to those
who are interested in the Silo
Circle productions and also in
the Asheville-Biltmore Botan

Anyone purchasing a ticket
from either Miss Ruby Hall
at the local library or Mrs.
W m. Peyton, Cumberland

A portion from the sale of
these tickets will be given to

terested in backing this worth
while project and many have
already done so. A Botanical
garden of this sort will mean
a great deal to interested
groups in the area as well as
summer guests who wish to
have easy access to wild flow
ers of the mountain section.
People of N. C.
Want To Bring
USS N. C. Home
Governor Terry Sanford an
nounced today that 20 of
North Carolina’s 100 counties
have reached their goals in
the statewide drive to raise
$250,000 to preserve the U.
S. S. North Carolina.
The Governor congratulated
the County Admirals who are
in charge of the drives for
funds and announced that a
total of $153,000 is now in
the bank.
He expressed hope that all
counties would “get up a full
head of steam” and achieve
their ouotas so that the fam
ous battle wagon may be es
tablished as a memorial to the
Tar Heel men and women who
served in World War II.
Governor Sanford noted
that Surry, Martin, New Han

Songs, Poems
Given For
Tea and Topic
Mrs. A. P. Perley III was
hostess to the Tea and Topic
club on Friday evening, July
7.
The program was given by
Mrs. Lawrence Barnhill who
presented some of her songs
and poems to ,the members.
“Abbie of the Cabbie Corn,”
Mrs. Barnhill’s first song, and
“Voices” a more recent com
position were sung by Flo
Barnhill and Sara Marcia Per
ley, Flo also accompanied on
the piano. Mrs. Barnhill read
“I Am Music.” Her ballad
about Big Tom Wilson tells
the story of the search and
discovery of Dr. Mitchell’s
body after his fatal accident,
and “01’ Crook Tail Rock” is
a ballad about one of Fred
Burnett’s hunting dogs as he
wrote of him in his book “This
Was M y Valley.” M r s.
Barnhill next read “Cemetery
on the Hill.” She closed with
“Jes’ Tolable” a mountain
song which was enhanced by
the accompaniment of the au
toharp.
Mrs. Barnhill gave credit to
Mrs. James Crawford who en
couraged her in her early at
tempts at creative writing and
to Dr. Benjamin Dunford who
has shown much interest and
skill in harmonizing her or
iginal melodies.
Members present were Mrs.

Religious Play
Is Substituted
At Silo Circle
Silo Circle Playhouse, North
Carolina’s only professional
arena theatre, located on Old
US 70, has substituted a re
ligious drama for its sched
uled play “A Moon For The
Misbegotten”.
Michel Bouche, managing
director at SILO, in announc
ing the change stated: “Our
1960 production of ‘Rashomon’
was a great success and we
ran it for two weeks by pop
ular request. It was a great
moral play. We feel that we
should, this year, do a relig
ious play for this area which
is so widely known as a center
of religious conferences and
is sometimes referred to as
The Bible Belt of America.
The selection of “J. B.”, Arch
ilbard MacLeish’s modern
version of The Book of Job,
is very timely in that the In
ternational Uniform Sunday
School lesson for the majority
of churches in the quarter just
ended has been The Book of
Job”.
The Book of Job has lived
in men’s lives for thousands
of years and the myth of Job
for longer, perhaps. Job asks
for all mankind the crucial
question: how can the world
be justified? How, if the
world is what we see, can it’s
Creator be just? How, if God
is just, can God be the Creator
of the world? As Nickles,
who plays the part of Satan
within Mr. MacLeish’s play,
puts it in his mocking jingle:
“If God is God, he is not good.
If God is good, he is not God”.
It is a puzzle MacLeish does
not attempt to answer, but
only brings to the attention
of his audience. He has adapt
ed contemporary circumstan
ces to the biblical tale of the
destruction of Job.
“J. B.” was first produced
at Yale, with graduate stu
dent casting. Elia Kazan
brought it to Broadway in
1959 where it enjoyed a full
run and was given the Pulit
izer prize for drama. For the
