Y. R. S. Eckles, Black Mountain realtor, told me that you would send me four copies of your fine weekly newspaper. Will you please see that these are sent? “I intend to subscribe for your newspaper but right now I want the four copies. We are interested in your section of tile country as a retire ment home”. The four copies requested were soon on their way and we hope that the Buffalo resident finds plenty of inter esting items and will soon be here as a permanent resident. DELUGB When the Black Mountain Chamber of Commerce insert ed a line in one of the bro chures, published for mass distributions to those inter ested in tile Black Mountain area, to the effect that four copies of he Black Mountain News would be sent to any one requesting them, WE, meaning the News staff, got more than we bargained for. The requests have poured in from all along the eastern seaboard, from Maine to Florida, and west to Chicago. THIS IS snorner service of tho Black Mountain Chambor o f Commerce which low others than the directors knew about. It is an excellent way to adver tise our community without any cost to the C of C. DEAN BROWN C Dean Brown, all western fullback at Owen High school, has been named to the na ti< nal high school all-Ameri , can all-stars. The certificate received last week says in part: “The Football Committee, k meeting in annual executive “ council to consider 'current season performances of all high school senior football players in the United States and District of Columbia, hereby designates Dean Brown, Charles D. Owen High school, as a member of the N.H.A. All-American Football Team 1961.” At latest report Dean was undecided as to whether or not to play in the all-star game in late May. Some have frowned on the idea since an injury might jeopardize his chances at Wake Forest col I lege where he has already accepted a football grant-in > aid. AFRIKA CORPS “The Foxes of the Desert”, an account of the Afrika Corps told from the German’s viewpoint, makes excellent ' reading if you are interested in military history. Written by Paul Carell who interviewed more than f a 1000 former soldiers and officers who served with Rommel in Africa, the book gives an eyewitness account of how and why it happened. I saw several detachments of these Germans after they were prisoners and was im pressed by their military bearing even with the funny uniforms and the huge “PW” on their backs. They march ed in perfect step wherever they went and carried their brooms, shovels, or picks like a gun. They didn’t think much of us as soldiers and watched in amusement as we went through our training. One of them is supposed to have been overheard saying to a companion, although it was never confirmed, as he watched our outfit slouch along: “If that’s the outfit they are sending to Europe, then I have no fear for the fate of the Fatherland. It’s safe”. CHURCH BUDGET H. Clifton Blue, publisher of the Sand Hill Citizen at Aberdeen, N. C., is a staunch Presbyterians so I don’t know how he happened to acquire the information which he pub lished regarding a Texas church budget. Since W. Dean Willis of Ridgecrest is business manager of the church mentioned, the follow ing article is of great local interest: “Members of the Baptist Church are known for their dedication to their Church and for their belief in strict tithing. “The State of Texas is known for its bigness and the description of bigness by its citizens. —Turn to Page 8 Concert Duo To C.
