LISTEN COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD WBMT PITCH 'N' PUTT HAS BUSY DAY IN TRY FOR TURKEYS Approximately 125 9-hole rounds were played on Bea con’s Pitch ’N Putt golf course Saturday, Nov. 17, with four nice fat turkeys being won by the following people: Bill Williams, whose 23, 4 under par was low score in the 22 up age bracket (as well as low score for the day); Ted Tipton’s 24, 3 under par shot in a play-off between Ted Luckadoo, Ronnie Lewis, and himself, won in the 13-21 age group; and Gary Lewis’ 42, 15 over par, shot in a play-off with Robert Rhymer who shot a 45, 17 over par, winning in the up thru 12 year bracket.

Bergman Works With Animals For Human Cure Dr. Robert F. Borgman, son in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Guess of Black Mountain, fore sees a remedy for muscular dystrophy in the near future. Dr. Borgman is associate nutritionist at Clemson col lege and although his work at present is done in connec tion with tests on mice and rabbits he believes there is some similarity with the same disease found in humans. The veterinarian is in the second year of a four year research program and already his findings have been pub lished in the American Journal of Veterinary Research. The research is supported by funds from the National Institute of Health, which awarded S12.000 a year in 1960. and by the United State Dept, of Agri culture. Does muscular dystrophy in animals hold the real clue to the disease in humans? “Just as in space.-’ Dr. Borg man reminds, “animals are tested before men”, Plant Hunters Studied By Garden Club The Black Mountain Garden club held their Thanksgiving meeting on Friday, Nov. 16, in the education building of the Methodist church. About 60 members and eight guests were able to consume most of two huge turkeys in spite of the attraction of superior side dishes, relishes, salads, and enticing desserts, plain tra ditional and with modern embroidery. The program was centered on plant hunters. What makes a plant hunter hunt plants anyhow? The realist would say, “Money—he gets paid”. The philanthropist would say, “Praise—he gets honored”. The scientist would say, “Knowledge—he learns more secrets and gets more satis faction than stay-at-homes”. Perhaps, but even so the re wards seem small compared to the struggles. laxe me earnest piani num ers known to be in America away back when the colonies were small—Michaux, who is commemmorated by a plaque at our city hall — came to gather plants for the French king’s gardens at Versailles and was thrilled by the abund ance of varieties in our moun tains. He came in spring and again in December so that he could gather seeds. Many shiploads he sent back and carried with him on his re turn the most precious. But shipwreck off the coast took many of these including his most valuable diary of which only a few water stained pages were saved. But on these pages was a record of a strange plant like galax. Dr. Asa Gray finding this record and a few seeds 40 years later, planted the seeds, grew the plants and named them “Shortia”. Then began the search for the originals which lasted for 60 more years be fore the source of Michaux’s discovery was located in South Carolina into which he had walked without knowing the difference. Meanwhile most of Michaux’s plants had been sent by Queen Antoinette to her uncle in Vienna as a gift, an act not sanctioned by even the “Guild of Hare Brained Movie Stars” of today. A strange part of Michaux’s story is the record of his hav ing brought to this country the mimosa tree, a gift or a curse depending on your “posture” towards it. The first American plant hunter was John Bartram, a farmer from Philadelphia who was recommended by Benja min Franklin because of his success in growing things. But John wasn’t ready to hunt un til he knew botany so at 40 years of age he studied Latin so as to comprehend the classification of plants made by Linneaus. John never came to North Carolina but his son William, also a botanist, dis covered a tree in Georgia which he took to Philadelphia and named 'Tranklinia” for Franklin. Never since has this tree been found in its wild state .all present plants being descended from the Phila delphia ones. Look for it yourself if you want. After the turn of the cent ury the Department of Agri culture hired Dr. David Fair child who was greatly inter ested in plant hunting. He had done some hunting in Java supported by a wealthy friend. He felt that plant im portation might be a great benefit to agriculture. He ar ranged private funds to fin ance plant hunting and sought trained and enthusiastic men to go all over the world in pursuit of varieties to fit cer tain needs. Until 1946 special grants from Congress had to be weasled through for ex peditions. Since then regular budgets are included for this work. In fact the only things we would have to eat today would be corn, squash, pumpkins, and beans if plant hunting had not resulted in finding new things or resistant strains of native things to benefit us.
