McMurray, Jr., a young business executive in Black Mountain, delivered a timely, thought provoking, and challenging address on “Giv ing Time to Help Others” at the Black Mountain - Swan nanoa Kiwanis club luncheon meeting Thursday, Oct. 11, at the Monte Vista hotel. The speaker stated that since we are greatly helped by those people who are will ing to give time, we too should be ready and willing to share the responsibilities in our community, nation, and the world. There are plenty of excuses for not giving time to help others. The fact re mains that all of us have time to do things for ourselves and fail to see the needs of others. In the work of the commun ity, there are a few people who are ready, willing, and have the time to carry the responsibility. The rest of the people are willing to let the few do the work. Mr. McMurray appealed to those present to give time, thought, and energy to all worthy causes in the commun ity. H. B. Craven of Lakeland, Fla., made a few pertinent remarks on the thought of having time to help others. Visitors were Mr. Craven, C. R. McHwaine, Jackson, Miss., Wiebe Wilson, Atlanta, Ga., and Perry L. Stone, N. Charleston, S. C. Don Quarles presided. Canton's Black Bears Coming To Town Friday Canton’s Black Bears will furnish the opposition here Friday evening as the Owen Warhorses play their next to the final home game of the 1962 season. The Erwin eleven scored two touchdowns in the second half last Friday as they hand ed the Owen team its seventh straight loss of the year, 20-0. Erwin led at halftime, 6-0. Head Coach Howard Barn well was still searching for a combination to give the Warhorses a badly needed of fensive punch. As has been the case in more than one instance this year, the locals held the opposition to an even zero yards on passes, but as in the other cases the enemy has found it relatively easy to gain via the ground route. When the T didn’t work, the Warhorses switched to the single wing but with this type —Turn to Page 10 Chairmen For Fall Festival Are Announced Mr. and Mrs. James Buck ner, co-chairmen for the Black Mountain P.T.A.

Guest Lecturer Grant Reynard, widely known painter and lecturer, will be a guest lecturer at Montreat-Anderson college on Oct. 24, as part of the junior college's Distinguished Visit ors program. He will address the student body at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. In addition to his lecture on “Great American Painters”, Mr. Reynard will lead a group of students in sketching on Oct. 25. A selection of his paintings will be on exhibition in Assembly Inn lobby on Oct. 25. Born in Grand Island, Neb., the son of parents of unusual musical talents, Grant Rey nard devoted his early life to the study of piano and composition. When his love of art and active interest in drawing proved too strong to resist, he relinquished his music in favor of art. He at tended the Art Institute and Academy in Chicago, painted in France and England, and studied the paintings, etchings and lithography in the great art centers. Mr. Reynard has presented seven one-man shows in New York. He is represented in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Fogg Museum at Har vard university, DeYoung Mu seum in San Francisco, New York Public library, Newark Art museum, New Jersey State museum, Montclair Art mu seum, and the Library of Congress. Grant Reynard believes that an artist has a talent peculiar to himself which should be nurtured and developed with specific care so that the prop er characteristics will find expression. “Acquaint stu dents with the tools and the media, the traditions and history of art”, says he, “but let’s not insist as teachers that we know the BEST way to make art”. Mr. Reynard’s appearance on the campus here is ar ranged by the Arts Program of the Association of Ameri can Colleges, 200 West 57th Street, New York 19, N. Y. Dr. Richardson Has New Book Just Off Press With the recent upsurge in juvenile delinquency through out the country, not only in low income areas but among children of middle and higher income families, many parents, teachers, and all those con cerned with guiding young people are asking — how can we guide our children toward responsible behavior? The experienced pediatric ian, counselor and author, Dr. Frank Howard Richardson, turns to this problem of dis cipline which is bothering so many of today’s parents in a new book, FOR PARENTS ONLY: The Doctor Discusses Discipline, published Oct. 15 by McKay. Dr. Richardson’s point of view is based on a common sense attitude which insists that the child be treated as courteously as possible at all times and that he be “dis ciplined” instead of “pun ished”. He guides the parent to a middle course, between over-strict rigidity on the one hand and excessive permissive ness on the other. In FOR PARENTS ONLY Dr. Richardson discusses many common situations that often cause friction between parent and child, offering workable and effective solutions to the problems of infancy through those of adolescence. Dr. Richardson is well known for his books FOR BOYS ONLY, FOR GIRLS ONLY, and FOR YOUNG ADULT'S ONLY, all of which have gone through numerous printings and been widely ac cepted by both young people and adults. He is the father of five children and grand father of more than a dozen, and has practiced pediatrics in North Carolina for many years. Newcomers Are Made Welcome By Richardsons Dr. and Mrs. Frank Howard Richardson and the Black Mountain Woman’s club held open house for the newcomers of our community on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 14. It was held at Hilltop, the Richard son home. The day was sunny and warm and the people came, about 70 or more. Al though there were many old timers most were those who have recently moved to Black Mountain to make their home here. It was a group that Black Mountain can well be proud of, a segment of the population that can add much to our town. It is interesting to note what states are represented in Black Mountain: Alabama, California, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Indiana, New York City and upper New York state, New Jersey, Ohio, Penn sylvania, South Carolina, Vir ginia, Washington, D. C., and three from England. Yes, there were also two or three from North Carolina who have moved here. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking with one another and discovering that they had friends in common. They en joyed looking down the valley and over the town, especially as they were able to pick out their homes with the binoc ulars. The old magazines and books attracted the attention of some. The atmosphere of the home had a touch of autumn. Mrs. Carter, a good neighbor at the foot of the hill, shared some of her huge dahlias as a welcome to the newcomers. No tea is really complete without the magic touch of Mrs. W. I. Willis of Ridge crest. She sent the two floral arrangements in the dining room that were enjoyed by all. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bowness lent a helping hand. Mrs. Bowness, president of the Woman’s club, presided at the punch bowl as she welcomed the guests and Mr. Bowness with M. E. Head helped Dr. Richardson park the cars. Last but not least Mrs. Head did her bit. She saw to it that everyone signed in the guest book as they entered and it was she who gathered the information of the different states. It was really a happy occasion.
