SURPRISE . . . Close friends
of the Brewer family here are
still speechless at the high
way sign scandal which al
most took the life of one of
those most prominently con
nected with it.
They can hardly believe it
has happened to friendly,
carefree, free-spending Kidd
Brewer, the nearest thing in
these parts to the adult, fam
ily-man version of the All
American boy.
And yet there it is—one
surprise after another—shock
on shock. In general, sym
pathy around too-sophisticated
Raleigh seemed to be with
Brewer until the story moved
out of the $40,000 class and
into the big-checks payments
moving to Brewer via a hard
ware firm in Boone. When
this development hit the head
lines, loss of face for Brewer
came almost as suddenly as
the first mention of the case
from the Governor’s office.
Now that it has all gone
this far, Raleigh is ready for
anything, for any announce
ment. Feeling here is there
can be no more shocks.
ISOLATED? . . .. How the
affair became so big and in
volved only three local people
—Burch son and father and
Brewer—is difficult for old
heads here to understand.
With the thousands of
people associated with high
way construction and the
thousands more on the state
tmii nmnM OTIO
or two more would be direct
ly involved . . . but appar
ently not. As of this past
week end, it still looked —
strange as it seems — like an
isolated thing: a violent turb
ulence touching no other part
of the plain.
But just a whole lot of
questions must still be an
swered. There is more than
one person in Raleigh who
thinks “more heads will roll”
before finis is written to the
case.
GOT TO HIM? ... The
word we get from neighbors
of the Brewer's is that he
had slept very little, had
paced the floor like a caged
animal fo/ nearly two weeks
before slashing himself with
razor blades. He finally broke.
Who wouldn’t? Every street
corner here is abuzz with
what Brewer’s attorneys told
him just before he slipped
out of the conference and
drove the six miles to his
suburban home. When a trail
of blood was found and it was
announced that Brewer was
missing, one Raleigh resident
indirectly close to the case
said: “It looks as if-got
to Brewer”. This, of course,
proved incorrect—but it was
a most interesting reaction to
the announcement.
WHY NOT REX? . . . Now (
what was the real reason Kidd
Brewer was moved from Rex
hospital in Raleigh to Duke
University hospital in Dur- :
ham? And, under the circum
stances, would it not have 1
been better for him to be
moved to Memorial hospital
Gray in Brewer’s hometown
in Chapel Hill or to Bowman
of Winston-Salem?
NEXT . . . Now the next
round could involve the
Burch’s or the Minnesota
Mining Co. It looks as if Kidd
Brewer will be out of it for
a season. The belief here is
that he will recover physically
before he does mentally.
Before the apparent suicide
attempt, the N. C. Revenue
department was calling the
shots. Now it is a psychiatrist
over at Duke university. He,
and only he, will say when
Kidd Brewer is able again to
enter the fray.
Meantime, watch for some
interesting—and rather unique
developments.
HAND-SHAKING . . . Just
before he began his speech
to the National Association
of Travel Organizations in
Washington’s Willard hotel last
week, Commerce Secretary
Luther Hodges tore himself
away from the august group
at the head table, and made
a quick handshaking tour
among 25 Tarheels gathered
there for the luncheon.
As of last week, only Dean
Rusk seemed more of a fixt
ure in the Kennedy cabinet
than Luther Hodges. He looks
young, vigorous, full of health,
makes a good speech — and
still reads it so hurriedly you
miss whole sentences. Gov.
Sanford . . . drawls ... his
. . . out . . . like . . . this
. . . Suh.
NEXT TIME . . . Fifth Dis
trict Congressman Ralph Scott
is telling ambitious young
Democrats of that section
they can fight for the honor
jf succeeding him two years
hence—but he would be very
much obliged if they would
just leave him alone this time.
And—we rather think they

which has just added Wilkes
county to its listings.
CAR SALES . . . New Car
sales in the state for this past
December were 9,680 as
igainst 9,027 for the same
nonth of 1960. Chevrolet led
Ford—2,424 to 2,078 . . . Auto
sales in the nation for the
Eirst 10 days of this year were
iveraging 17,668 per day —
18 per cent over the first 10
lays of 1961.
NOTES . . . We had a nice
etter of Cong. Harold D.
Fooley, who said in his charm
ng way he has no guberna
orial ambitions, is interested
n continuing his work in the
louse as a “balanced Demo
crat” . . . We still say he
could make a great governor
cut no doubt will mean more
:o the state and nation as
chairman of the House Agri
culture committee . . . But
ve DO have at least a half

could run for governor at the
Irop of a hat. Here’s a list:

Charles Jonas. Horace Kore

Henderson, and Lawrence
Fountain.
Whitener has it worst as

At The Church
It was weather that made
church news here on Jan. 28
Snow that had begun earliei
in the morning fell in blind
ing density just about time
people were starting to Sun
day school. Several had trou
ble with stalled cars and skid
ding, ,and many others were
just afraid to start out in the
teeth of such a storm. Only
42 folks finally arrived at the
church, but those who did
come received special bles
sings from worshiping toget
her and listening to pastor
Hocutt’s good message. At
11:15 there were four inches
of snow on the ground and
more falling from the laden
skies, so the group voted to
call off the evening services.
In The Community
The Rambler is greatly
indebted to Mrs. T. E. Wal

NEWS from the
CRAGMONT
COMMUNITY
—By Lib Harper— j
Phone NO 9-3028
For a number of weeks,
folks have called me, wanting
to know more about the
“Knight’s of Daniel Club”,
when it was organized, its
purpose, and how they could
be of help.
First of all the club was
organized by a few men of the
Cragmont, Brookside, and
Swannanoa sections, who were
interested in securing a large
tract of land to be used for
a recreational area for the
Negro boys and girls.
During the latter part of the
summer members of the club
gave word that they had found
a suitable tract of land that
could be purchased for $1300.
Soon letters were sent out to
Business firms in the Black
Mountain and surrounding
areas. There were dinners,
Programs, Turkey and Ham
shoots, and things really be
gan to click.
We are happy to announce
wonderful support from each
of the communities, and at
present over half of the money
needed has been raised.
On Friday night of last week
a special call meeting for the
club was held at the Mills
Chapel church. 12 new mem
bers were added, ,and the fol
lowing officers were named:
President, William Hamilton;
Trustees, T. D. Daugherty,
Frankie Owens, and James
Burris.
On Saturday Feb. 10th the
club is sponsoring a Fish and
Chitterling supper with all
the trimmings at the Carver
School from 12:00 noon until
7:30 P.M.
Free delivery of three or
more dinners to the same lo
cation may be had. Tickets
are on sale for $1.00 with
special rates for children. For
tickets in advance see or call
William Hamilton or Albert
Harper.
Any donations given this
club will be greatly appreciat
ed.

“Virus” seems to have hit
a number of Ridgecrest resi

The E. F. Hardins’ recent
trip to Greenville, N. C. also
included a visit in Chapel Hill

In spite of the rain, snow,
mud, and kindred hindrances,
Mrs. R. W. Turner and family
last week moved from the
home on Yates Ave. which
they have occupied for more
than twenty years, into a new
cottage across the avenue
which is just being finished
for them. They are greatly
pleased with the arrangement
of rooms which are much bet
ter suited to their needs than
the old home.
Mr. and Mrs. Porter John
son and family have moved
from Madison Co. into the
home just vacated by the Turn
ers. He works at the Assem
bly and has for months “bat
ched” during the week in the
little Paul Harris cottage near

On Monday morning, just
as these notes were being
finished for publication, one
mail brought to the Rambler
three very sad bits of news:
(1) Her only remaining aunt,
Mrs. S. A. Fair of Orangeburg,
S. C. had just died; (2) her
brother-in-law, Seward Oliver

arv thrombosis while visiting
in Charleston, S. C. and is still
in critical condition in the hos
pital there; a favorite and be
loved first cousin in Montgom
ery Ala., was the victim of a
paralytic stroke which leaves
life hanging on a thread.
Sadness comes to all of us,
but “Joy cometh in the morn
ing.”
Several members of the

Black Mountain News,
Black Mountain, N. C.
Dear Mr. Greenwood:
My wife and I have been
subscribers to the Black Moun
tain News for the past 3 years
and thoroughly enjoy reading1
this interesting publication.
Since we are planning to
spend our retirement years
in Black Mountain, your paper
has contributed much toward
keeping us abreast with the
progressive events of the town.
We have found your column
“Reflections’’ particularly in
teresting and informative, how
ever, we would appreciate it
very much if you could include
something each week pertain
ing to weather conditions in
Black Mountain. For example:
last week, accordingly to the
high and low temperature read
ings published in the News, a
low of zero (0) was recorded
on January 11th. Are we right
in assuming that zero is a
record low for Black Mountain,
however, no mention or com
ments were made regarding
this matter in your column.
Sincerely,
Harry Trompter

Dear Gordon:
I am delighted to present to
your newspaper a citation
from the Treasury Depart
ment for 20 years of service
in supporting the United

As you might imagine, this
is one of several awards they

are very pleased to pass it on
to you with our thanks for
dedicated service to this im
portant phase of our economy.
All good wishes.

HUMOROUS WILLS
One of the strangest places
to find items of humor in the
law would appear to be in the
wills of testators. Wills are
written when testators must
consciously face the contem
plation of death. Neverthe
less, incidents of pure humor
may at times be found in re
corded wills.
One testator directed that
no woman be present at his
funeral.
The love of the French peo
ple for the culinary arts is re
flected by a provision in a
Frenchman’s will that a new
cooking recipe should be post
ed on the testator’s tomb each
day.

One man left all of his prop
erty to the devil. The name
if the legatee appeared in
capital letters throughout the
will. The inference was that
;he testator wished to make a
rood impression upon him,
with an eye to securing indul
gence when they met.
A man who had made a for
tune in the financial world
wrote in his will:
“To my wife, I leave her
over, and the knowledge that
[ wasn’t the fool she thought
[ was.
“To my son, I leave the
ileasure of earning a living,
