TAYLOR ADDRESSES
TOBACCO DEALERS
The economic importance
of hurley tobacco in Western
North Carolina was discussed
by Rep. Roy A. Taylor in a
principal address Monday
(Oct. 1) before members of
the Burley and Dark Leaf
Tobacco Export Association
in Asheville.
He noted that hurley to
bacco is the major cash crop
for more than 18,000 farm
families in WNC who this
year expect to harvest some
23,000,000 pounds of hurley
on 11,200 acres.
“I was pleased to join with
other congressmen on two
occasions in supporting six
percent increases in hurley
acreage allotments,” he told
the delegates.
—More than $1,000,000,
OO'i in wages and salaries are
lost each year because of
diseases of the heart and
blood vessels.

more of the same
Our recent comments on language which sounds
strange to the outsiders brought a generous response
E. B. Kimsey, 78, suggested that the word “pas
sel , or that is what it sounds like, is an expression thal
was at one time in common use in the county of Macon
You could add Buncombe to the list without stretch
ing the truth very far.
One expression that amused Mrs. Austin Dickens
when they first moved to the mountains was our wa)
of answering when someone asks if we want some
thing. "I don't care if I do", makes sense to me but
I can understand that it might be confusing to some
Another one that confuses the non-native no end
is our way of saying when we want to complimenl
someone:
"That's the best football game I nearly ever saw/'
My friends from the flatland had a lot of fun
with me about that one. They would wink at one
another and then ask in a serious tone:
“Now let me see. do you mean you saw the game,
saw part of it, or didn't see it at all?”
It took me quite a while to convince the doubters
that it WAS the best game I nearly ever saw. What’s
wrong with that?
However wrong I might have been on some, 1
found after travelling all the way to England thal
I was right on the word prize.
I like to prize a stump or rock out of the ground
but some of my friends pretended not to know whal
I meant- They maintained that I meant pry.
But I did mean prize and was glad to learn thal
the word is in common use in English newspapers
In fact, it’s the fifth usage given in Webster’s Diction
ary.

EVENING IN MANSION
The first time he went to Raleigh several years
ago, Mark Bennett, candidate for the House of Re
presentatives from Yancey county, spent the evening
in the Mansion as an uninvited guest.
He was supposed to pick up a friend at a hotel
in downtown Raieigh. Being unfamiliar with the city
he sighted the Mansion all lighted up and thought
it was the hotel.
Going in and finding no one around, he took
a seat in what he thought was the lobby and waited
and waited.
Finally a man dressed for all the world like
a hotel porter appeared on the scene and asked his
name
As the man disappeared through a door through
which the sound of many voices indicated that a
meal was in progress, it suddenly dawned on Mark
that he was in the wrong place.
He waited only long enough to hear the butler
ask,
"Governor, are you expecting Mr. Mark Bennett?"
Mark never did know what the answer was. He
was in orbit and on his way to the right place be
fore the answer came.
Looking back on the experience, Mark opines:
“I could have carried half the building off and
no one would have known it”.

Anti that is the unique advantage of the flameless
electric heat pump.
Since there is no flame, there are no products of com
bustion such as moisture, soot, grime or smoke. The electric
heat pump consumes no oxygen thus insuring a clean, con
stant, healthful supply of filtered air. It is the truly modem
way to “climatize” your home the year ’round.
Using no fuel except electricity, the same unit cools you
pleasantly in summer—keeps you comfortably warm in
winter. If you are wondering how the electric heat pump
compares in operating cost, just ask your CP&L represent
ative to show you case histories and actual operating records.
In this way, you can prove to yourself that this unique cool
ing and heating system costs no more than competitive
systems.
Remember—only flameless electricity provides matchless
