They left Lima in shirt beeves, gradually added ,weaters, mufflers, and top coats as they d'mbed the (now-covered Andes on the >ne-way roads that serve as highways over the range, ind then discarded the ex tra clothing as they des tended into the Amazon Basin in Brazil where the temperature ranged from |20 to 130 sizzling degrees. High up in the Andes the Lntains were covered with Lv and ice which made driv L on the narrow roads, cut El of solid rock, extremely zardous. And there were guard rails. A slip at the ,ng time has sent many torists hurtling over the er cliffs to certain death. Her these roads there is . way traffic, two hours one direction and then two irs in the other.

The people who have set id there have great holdings th most of the work being no by native Indians. Life cept for the landowners is ;re existence and exploita n is the rule rather than e exception. 3RE SOUTH AMERICA Argentina is also a land of ntrasts, Simon Berggrun, io spent 21 of his early life that country, told a large )wd attending the final ision of the missions study the Methodist church Sun y evening. "This is true because 5 per at of the people own 95 r cent of the wealth. As result 5 per cent is very h and the 95 per cent is tremely poor”, the speaker, 10 against the advice of his ends, came to the United ites to attend Catawaba col ;e. said. Although Argentina is a ation of great potential, it as not made as much pro fess as it should because f many factors. One of ie chief reasons is a class 'stem which permits the >ns and daughters of the ch and those with high •cial standing to go to dlege and to enter the rofessions. On the other and it is almost impossible lr the son of a working an to rise above the trade dlowed by his father. ‘Many people in Argentina J * like the Untied States ;ause they have been taught 11 we are their enemy,” the laker explained.

Defense Pays Off For Owen Warhorses A strong defense and a steady eye from the free throw line combined to give the Owen Warhorses a 55 to 40 victory over the Enka Jets Friday evening. Owen was behind 15-11 at the first quarter but pulled ahead by three points at the half, 23-20. But it was an uphill fight for the locals as they were forced to pull the defense out to half the long shooting of the home team. Once the Jets had to hurry their shots and were not permitted to get set, business for the War horses started picking up They took over the lead, 21 20, on a basket by McFee near the end of the quarter and extended it to 23-20 at half time on two free throws by Jake Hardin. BIG SECOND HALF Following the rest period the Warhorses came back with renewed effort and continued their hot scoring pace while U1C ucicuac waa lYGcpmg lilt Enka offense under control.

Between 8r000 and 30,000 Educated Africans Killed In Struggle For Self-Rule, Education And Citizenship In Angola A story of Portuguese bru tality in Angola, recalling Nazi techniques, was told by two Methodist missionaries touring Western North Caro lina last week. The Rev. Edwin LeMaster of Lexington, Ky., and Marion Way, Jr., of Charleston, S. C., told church and ministerial audiences about mass killings where bodies were buried in bulldozer-dug graves, and of deportations of men and wom en for construction purposes. The two men, along with two other Methodist missionar ies, were imprisoned for three months by the Portuguese on charges of aiding “terrorists” in the Portuguese colony of Angola, in West Africa. The Rev. Mr. LeMaster said while he was imprisoned in Angola, prior to being taken to Lisbon, Portugal, he talked with Africans who told him that trucks were carrying Afr icans off in the night from overcrowded jails, and these Africans were never heard from again, “This confirmed what a white friend had told me,” the minister said. “He said the Portuguese were hauling the Africans away when the jails became too full ani shooting them on the brin’ of bulldozed graves. One fourth of the able-bodie Methodist males i n Angol have been killed”. The missionary also tob about forced labor in Angoh “They (the Africans) ar forced to pay a head tax o six to seven dollars a persoi a year—that’s about what th African makes in a montt Then they are forced on th roads to work and to buib the schools for which the are paying taxes.” He said the African fair ilies are split up with me and women transportated t various parts of the natio to work a year at a time. Education of the African: he said, is the chief fear o the Portuguese. And, he adc ed, the Angolans are anxiou to get this education, for i means they can, in some area: take an examination whic will make them eligible fo full citizenship. All whit children bom in Angola ar automatically citizens. Today there are only 30,00 recognized Angolan citizen among a population of ovc four million Africans. Thi Third U. S. Army headquarters in Atlanta has announced the scheduled tour of the “Progress Ej hibit bus” which vividly depicts the modern U. i Army. The bus will visit a large number of citie and towns throughout Western North Carolina dui ing the next 30 days. Nephews of Mrs. J. L. Potter are Electrocuted Kenneth Ray Flack, 16, and George (Buddy) Flack, 15, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Flack of the Greenhill section of Rutherford county and great-nephews of Mrs. J. L. Potter of Black Mountain, were electrocuted Saturday, Feb. 10, when they came in contact with a high voltage power line while fighting a grass fire. The youths were helping a neighbor, Ellis Patterson, fight a small blaze, reportedly set on fire by a fallen power line. Buddy stepped on the power line and was killed. His brother went to his aid and also was electrocuted. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at Pleasant Grove Baptist church in Ruth erfordton. One of the displays to b seen is the weapons displa which shows the new M-l rifle and the new M-6 machine gun. These tw weapons replace almost a other light weapons now i use. Other displays sho> technical changes that hav been made in the Army du: ing recent months.

Information pe taining to the bus may b obtained by calling Haisli at AT 3-6921. 1 number has apparently been c reduced since Portuguese - fighting with the Africans has 5 resulted in the killing of be i tween 8,000 and 30,000 Afri cans, according to the Rev. 1 Mr. LeMaster. The mission . ary said the Portuguese have 3 centered their killings and f arrests among the educated l Africans. J He said the African is re ■ belling now because “any J thing is better than what we 1 have”. Asked if the Angolans f are ready for self rule, the > Mrs. Young To Retire From PO : After 28 Years t 1 On Thursday evening, Feb. -j 8, Mrs. Winnie G.

With Distribution To Foreign Countries A.s Well As The Two 'New States by Edith K. Benedict An interesting fact came to my attention this week in wokring on a letter to be sent out to our “readers away from home”. The truth is that I had never seen the files which contain the names of our out-of-town subscrib ers so, in dividing these let ters into groups according to the states to which they were destined, I became interested and accumulated the following data. Our weekly paper goes to 29 states and the District of Columbia. This includes sub scriptions to Alaska and Hawaii, also one to Brazil which begins next week. Those which go out of town to other towns and cities in North Car olina about equals the num ber which go to Florida. South Carolina and Georgia lists are nearly the same and Vir ginia and Tennessee are some what smaller. Our Michigan and Illinois readers compare favorably and the Illinois and Texas group are similar in size. Numbers of boys in the service receive our papers in foreign countries through the New York AI’O. In view of the fact that wu nave s>u many uui ui iuwu readers, we thought it might be of interest to write them a personal letter and ask that they, in return, write to you, the other readers, through the NEWS. If the response is as we hope, there should be reminders from many former residents and from readers who never lived here. We asked that each give the con nection with the Valley and something about their present occupation, their family, and themselves. The NEWS has a circulation of 2,000, most of these, of course, are in the immediate area. The publication is in its seventeenth year. LEGION AUXILIARY TO MEET WITH MRS. C.

At present, Mr. Jerr is in his second year of theological training at the Episcopal Theological seminary in Lex ington, Ky. He is a resident of the Swannanoa Valley, hav ing lived at Summer Haven, and is a writer and naturalist. missionary said, no. “But Linder the present system of Portuguese rule, they will never be ready.” He told of Portuguese ar rests, shootings, hangings and humiliations of African Chris tian clergymen and church leaders. Today, he said, of the four African Methodist district superintendents, in Angola, two are in prison, one has been killed, and one is still preaching. Of the 165 clergymen, there are 90 “we know nothing about.” The Rev. Mr. LeMaster called the 90 days the miss ionaries were held in the Lis bon prison “a blessing. It was more like a spiritual re treat. Anything less than 90 days would not have been worth the effort of the Portu guese to honor The Methodist Church, rt focused world at tention on what the Portu guese were doing in Angola”. “We were able to exper ience the conditions the Angolans have been going through for years,” he said. “It also identified us with the Angolans. When we were confronted with accusations so unreal, so preposterous, for the first time we realized what the Angolans had been going through.” The two missionaries said the Angolans have asked the American people to pray for Angola in this time of crises. The Rev. Mr. LeMaster and Mr. Way spoke in Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston - Salem, Asheboro, Salisbury, and Asheville during Feb. 4-5.

New Equipment Authorized For Swimming Pool The swimming pool at Lake Tomahawk will soon have the latest filtration and water purification equipment in stalled so as to be ready for the summer season, stated R. T. Greene, Town manager. Authorized by the Town Council at its regular meeting Wednesday, Feb. 7, bids will soon be advertised for the new chemical purification system, automatic chlorinator, and circulating pump. The town budget has provided for the cost over a two-year per iod and now is ready to in stall this equipment specified by the County health depart ment. Enlargement of the pool, planned some years ago, will have to wait until funds can be accumulated for this pur pose, explained Mayor Stone 1 at the meeting. The auto matic equipment to be put in now will be large enough to take care of the larger pool when this work can be under taken. Adding 12 feet in pool ! length at the deep end and 18 feet length on the shallow end would make a 90-foot pool. This size would much better take care of the heavy > use the pool receives during the summer months by the i children of the community. The new automatic filtra ' tion equipment will be a big 1 help this summer over the manual system previously used ; as well as meeting the sani ■ tary requirements of the • county. The pool is managed for the town by Operation 1 Youth, Inc., a non-profit char 5 itnhle organization dedicated 5 to the young people of the Black Mountain area. I JVs Rebound !
