Ridgecrest Review By Jim Ballard Hi! This is the first of a series of columns about activ ities at Ridgecrest Baptist As sembly written especially foi you. A coulmn was carried last summer under the title “Pritchell Postscripts” by Jim Cox, who served on the staff as Press Representative. Jim did excellent work in this capacity for four summers, and he is now a reporter for the Atlanta Constitution. He is missed at Ridgecrest, but he is getting wonderful ex perience in newspaper work. Everyone is watching his car eer with interest. I am the new press repre sentative and I will try' to keep you informed of various activities for guests and staf fers. This is my first summer as a staffer, and I have found that so much happens at Ridgecrest to make the time flv quickly. 13 To Go Six conferences have been held so far. with 13 more a head of us. The Baptist Stu dent Retreat started off the season with a total of 1625 students registered. Atten dance at the YWA Confer ence was 1633; and atten dance during the Foreign Missions, Writers, and Brot herhood Conferences was 24 74. For Foreign Missions week, this figure is an all time high. Last year’s atten dance was 2111, with the pre vious high 2444 in 1959. The Church Music Leader ship Conference, which just ended, had 2588 outstanding church musicians in atten dance. The week most eagerly looked-forward to is now here. About 3800 intermedia tes, young people, and adults who work with them are ex pected to arrive for the Training Union Youth Con ference beginning today. More than 4500 applications were turned down because of lack of space. Every motel and hotel between Ridgecrest and Asheville seems to have been filled for that week. “Called to Responsible Free dom" is the theme of the week-long conference direct ed by Dr. Phillip Harris, sec retary of the Training Union Dept." of the Baptist Sunday School Board. Dr. Jack Noffsinger, pastor of the Knollwood Baptist Church, Winston-Salem. N. C., will be the principal speaker for the second consecutive year. Dr. Noffsinger is a pop ular youth speaker, having spoken on numerous college campuses, state BSU convent ions. He has been on the Ridgecrest faculty during stu dent week many times. Music director is Dr. Ken neth Cochrane, minister of music at the First Baptist Church of Augusta, Georgia, and Bible study leader is Dr. Marc Lovelace, professor of theology at Southeastern Bap tist Seminary at Wake For est, N. C. Drama For Talented Ridgecrest offers staffers with talent a chance to gain valuable experience and have fun while preparing, rehears ing, and pel-forming their tal ent. The Valley View Play ers, a dramatic organization begun last summer for staf fers interested in drama, has been rehearsing for its first presentation, “Endor”, by Howard Nemerov. Diannah Champion, an English major from Winthrop College, is drama director. The six roles, and the staffers who will play them, are as follows: Saul, King of Israel, Scott Hopkin; the witch of Endor, Katherine Smith; Commander, Dennis Weaver; Minister, Buddy Brock; Samuel, Marshall Ken nedy; and David, Paul Martin. Coy" Sharp is assistant drama director. Coughing A Lot? Information Service of Your Tuberculosis Association Jim coughs every morning when he gets up. Mary coughs every time she lies down Bob coughs for a couple of months every winter, though he’s all right the rest of the year. All three have what doctors call a chronic or persistent cough. You don’t have to cough all the time, yeai round, to have a chronic cough. For instance, a per son may know that he has a cold, he usually coughs for about two weeks. If his cough from a cold should hang on for five or six weeks, he has developed a chronic cough and may be battling something more than just a cold. Heavy cigarette smoking can cause a chronic cough. It is never safe to dismiss a persistent cough as “just a cigarette cough.’’ For one thing, a cigarette cough is serious in itself. For another, there’s the danger that a hea vy smoker may get so used to his cough that he can’t tell when something new has been added. He may be coughing more than he used to, or for longer at a time than he did; he may be coughing up more phlegm, or perhaps he has started to cough up a small amount of blood. Any of these happenings may be a sign that something is ser iously wrong. A chronic or persistant cough can be a symptom of tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema (in which the lungs lose their elasticity and hold in too much air), bronchiectasis (in which the bronchial tubes stretch and form pus-pockets), and other respiratory diseases. Untreated, these ailments can cause serious disability and even death. It is a great mistake to take self-prescribed cough medicine for a persistent cough. While the cough is be ing controlled, the disease causing it may be getting quietly worse. If you have a persistent cough, don’t shrug it off as something to put up with. See your doctor. CARD OF THANKS We would like to take this means to express our deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks to our friends and neighbors for their many acts of kindness and expressions of sympathy shown during our recent sorrow in the loss of our son, Phil Miller. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bullock LISTEN ~~ COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD WBMT Off Color One can tell the day of the week at Ridgecrest without a calendar just by the color of Mrs. Bryon Cox’s dress for the day. This Sunday she wore a blue dress, Monday she had on a grey dress, and yellow is her Wednesday col or. However, she confused a few people last week when she wore her Wednesday dress on Thursday. Mrs. Cox is head hostess. She is probably glad there are no staffers named Cox this year. Last year’s press representative, Jim Cox, was mistaken for her son often. She tells of the time though, when a Byron Cox worked on the staff. He was a singer, and Mrs. Cox was told often, “Your son sang so well to day!” although the two were not related.

Olive prunes her petunias unmerci fully when she transplants them. This encourages branch ing and keeps the growth low enough so that when they bloom none of the window is covered. T h e interesting Pennsylvania Dutch covering for her front door adds Antique lovers will be pleas ed to hear that the Business and Professional Women are sponsoring the annual (second) Antique Fair to be held July 16-17-18 at the Elementary school. Western North Car BACK YARD BEAUTY, TOO If you ever park toward the rear of the public parking lot off Broadway, next to the Western Auto store, you may have noticed the white picket fence which encloses the back yards belonging to Robert Teaster and Mrs. Granger. Mr. Teaster operates his electrical appliance repair shop on Cher ry street and lives in the lower part of the same build ing. Mrs. Granger and Mr. Teaster combined efforts to beautify their back entrances and the effect is most pleasing. Blaze roses, planted about a year ago, are beginning to add another unusual touch which contributes to the charm of her shop. A few steps further down Cherry I stopped long enough to chat with Rhoda Riddle in her florist and antique shop. One whole room is filled with choice articles of cut glass, cranberry glass, copper lustre and an assortment of odd plates, ail collected from this area. Pictured is a portion of her window this week which contains a “Gone With the Wind” lamp and several of the above mentioned specimens of glass. olina dealers from as far away as Statesville to the east, and on to the westernmost points, will participae in his event which last year drew many visitors in the first year of the show. the touch of color to the white trellis work and fences. The yard area is a carpet of green, and with the red roses, one could easily picture similar scenes in New Orleans or Charleston. One rock wall gives an interesting contrast, the others are brick. Although neither of these entrances is used by the pub lic, it is commendable that both persons involved were interested enough to contri bute their time and efforts toward making the back yards an attractive place instead of an eye sore. Nearly all the back doors were neat, but not especially beautiful.

Taylor Reports From Washington Obviously disturbed by yes terday's Supreme Court rul ing banning prayer in public schools, Congressman Ray A. Taylor today introduced an a mendment to the U. S. t on stitution which would permit prayers and Bible reading in public schools of the nation. The Supreme Court decis ion was “not in the best in terest of America," declared Taylor. “It is far-reaching and dangerous in its impli cations.” In a speech before the House of Representatives, Taylor stated that “education should be infused with some measure of religious faith.” Upon learning of the high court's decision yesterday, Rep. Taylor said he immedi ately discussed the decision with religious leaders, includ ing his constituent, Evange list Billy Graham. He quoted Dr. Graham as saying that if the court de cision is followed to its logi cal conclusion, “we will have to take chaplains out of our armed forces, prayers cannot be said in Congress and the President cannot put his hand on the Bible when he takes the oath of office. Taylor added that the de cision could he interpreted to mean that the Bible would have to he removed from the courtroom, “In God W e Trust” from our coins, “One Nation Under God,” from the pledge of Allegiance and would prohibit religious songs in school music programs. The Congressman said he agreed with Justice Stew ait, who said in his dissenting o pinion; “The court has mis applied a great Constitution al principal. “Freedom of religion was not intended to mean free dom from religion, declared Taylor. The resolution introduced by Taylor will probably by referred to the House Judici ary Committee. If passed by Congress, the measure must then win ratification in % of the states within a seven year period. _ Korean \'eterani Projections prepared by the Veterans Administration in dicate that there are 150,00C to 200,000 Korean Conflicl veterans still eligible to take advantage of the educationa provisions of the Korean G1 Bill, J. D. DeRamus, managei of the VA Regional Office said today. These veterans have only a bout two-and-a-half years ir which to complete their train ing or education. The law provides that ah education and training ol non-disabled Korean veterans will end by January 31, 19 65. Since the Korean GI Bil! program started, more than 2,372,000 Korean Conflict veterans have either gone tc college or taken below-col lege-level training or on-the job or on-the-farm courses. Mr. DeRamsu said there are about 100,000 Korean veter ans still in training undei programs now. However, sur veys of those eligible and in terested have indicated that as many as 200,000 addition al veterans may enter the program before it comes tc an end. They will have to cram their entire courses into the two-and-a-half years betweer now and the deadline cut-ofi date of January 31, 1965. Mr. DeRamus said tha1 those planning to enter class rooms should not delay Those already in class wil have to accelerate their cour ses if they hope to finis! their studies before the close of the program. WRITERS ENJOY VISIT TO HILLTOP On the afternoon of June 25th Dr. and Mrs. Fran! Howard Richardson were a' home to the members of the Writers’ Conference that wa: being held at Ridgecrest from June 21-27. It is an annua affair for those attending the conference to come tc Hilltop and get the view oi the Swannanoa Valley from the porch. Of course they are always interested to have the site of Billy Graham’s house pointed out and it always gives them a thrill to see sc distinctly our Black Mountair churches. It is a distingished group that attends the Writer’s Conference each year, jus1 another one of the advan tages to be availed of neai Black Mountain. Mrs. John Payne Williams of Montreat presided at the punch bowl. Both she and Mr Williams are attending the Writers Course. It was a hap py get together for every one as they exchanged wort! while views on many subjects Trailways Is Supported At I.C.C. Hearing Residents in and between Morganton and Asheville and in communities beyond these points have documented the need to continue full Trail ways bus service between Morganton and Asheville at an Interstate Commerce Com mission hearing: which opened in Asheville on Monday, June 25. Several private residents of Black Mountain appeared on this first day of hearings to testify to the need of provid ing continued full time Trail ways service. Frank Williams of the Jun ior Chamber of Commerce a dopted a resolution opposing Grayhound’s application for interstate right between Mor ganton and Asheville. The Junior C of C is made up of 34 members. Marcus F. Begley of the Black Mountain County Coun cil also appeared and pre sented a resolution subscrib ed to by the council mem bers. Other residents will be ap pearing before the hearing which is expected to conclude on Thursday of this week. Grayhound seeks to provide out of state travel only for passengers along the route. According to J. H. Quattle baum, vice president for traf fic, Queen City Trailways, his busses have provided “faith ful, continuous and unre stricted service” since 1930 with seven round trips be tween Morganton and Ashe ville. LAW REQUIRES IMMUNIZATION North Carolina law requires that children entering school this fall have proof of im munization against smallpox, tetanus, diptheria, whooping cough, and polio. In the past many children have entered school with none or few of the prescrib ed shots. The N. C. Board of Health and the State Depart ment of Public Instruction are working together on plans to “crack down” on careless parents. This fall parents must present to the school authorities a certificate from a licensed physician or from a health department which certifies that the appropriate shots have been given the child. A word of wisdom is that parents start now on getting their children properly vac cinated. Some of the shots come in a series and require several weeks or months to complete. I. R.

Excessive speed was the biggest killer on North Caro lina highways last year. In a special study of highways mishaps the State Depart ment of Motor Vehicles re ports that speeding was a factor in 436 death-dealing crashes. Next in the fatality line-up was driving on the wrong side of the road 238, followed by failing to give the right of way 07. Driving intoxicated was in fourth place with 60. Miscellaneous voolations such as improper passing, disregarding stop signs and signals, following too closely helped boost the year’s traffic death toll to 1254 plus another 34,438 in jured. Spotlight on Food Processing Space Plants A new look at the State “which eonsistenly ranks a mong the top ten states in the nation for new plants” is the way INDUSTRIAL DE VELOPMENT magazine des cribes its special North Caro lina section in its May issue. The 32-page survey, entitl ed “Dynamic North Caro lina”, emphasizes the indus trial diversification taking place in the State long known as the nation’s leader in textile, tobacco and household furniture product ion. Now the spotlight is turning on food procesing and space age industries. “An able new administra tion is intensifying North Carolina’s growth efforts Proof of the good plan ning and effective program was a solid series of new plants last year—in the face of set-backs some other states experienced,” wrote Assistant Editor Bernard A. Mcllhaney, who interviewed a cross-section of Tar Heel industrialists and developers on his survey assignment. Reprints of the survey are available free from the De partment of Conservation and Development, Raleigh. JUNE GLENN, JR.— (From Page 1) ion Six.
