Christmas ideas
These ideas, some of them.
re sketchy, because like
vervone else we have been
fcgught in the last minute
lush and T didn’t have the
usal time to browse around
Tbut here goes.
Kiddle’s Florist shop has a
kjco assortment ..of Christmas
Eegonias, azaleas, poinsettias
Jboth red and pink shading
|o cream) cemetery wreaths,
fresh green wreaths, and all
forts of table arrangements.
Rhoda has even tried the
Ffried marbles” mentioned in
*ne issue of the Sunday Pa
lade magazine recently. These
nake delightful ornaments for
miniature tree. Many per
sons like to place poinsettias
In their churches during
Christmas in memory of loved
bnes.
The windows ot the Outlet
jjhop are filled with lovely
ted dresses and lingerie which
Hooks like good gift giving.
There is still a good assort
nent of the skirts, mentioned
[some time ago. A skirt with
natching sweater would be
most welcome gift for the
['clothes conscious girl.
Sarah Lee’s window has
luscious looking winter white
[party dresses for that dress
fup occasion. For native-made
handicraft gifts the shopper
Icou'd never go wrong at the
fGiftcraft shop of Mildred
[Villaincourt. Especially nice
■are the hand carved wooden
figures of mountain folk so
'cherished by those who want
[a lasting memento of the
[region.
Knight’s Pharmacy is spe
Icializing in appliances made
I by Universal with a special
[■discount given by the factory
[for the season. There are
| frying pans, irons, hair dryers,
[and coffee pots. Amity bill
i'folds for both men and wom
‘ en. for the latter in soft
* pastel shades; Yardley toilet
ries in attractive sets; Old
Spice outfits for men: Timex
j. watches; Montag’s stationery;
[Tweedie cosmetics for the
[young miss just beginning to
use them, and Hollingsworth
and Pangburn candies. They
■ also have a few of the Nancy
i Drew mystery and Bobbsey
Twin books.
For toys by the hundreds
and gift wrappings at pleas
ing prices, H & W Variety
store is a good idea. They
also have boxed gifts, espe
cially for the home and for
that person to whom you
would like to give an assorted
gift of sewing items, there
are many from which to
choose.
The Grey Eagle now has
Williamsburg pewter and a
very interesting line of un
usual candies which make fine
“little gifts” for stocking
stuffing. Olive also has more
books than anyone else in
town, look there before you
feel you must go out of town.
She also has beautiful candles
of all sizes and shapes, linens,
and dainty cards with ador
able round faced children pic
tured thereon. Surely there
cannot be a person on your
list whose desires you could
not only meet, but better, in
one of our three gift shops.
There are still about three
places here in town to visit,
but next week, weather and
time permitting, I would like
to visit Swannanoa and see
what merchants there have
in mind for the Christmas
season.
bright idea
After wondering if the va
cant stores on State street had
suddenly found occupants. Bill
Holcombe at the local Caro
lina Power and Light Co. ,
tells us that the store owners ,
have given permission for ^
displays to be placed in the (
stores so that they will not
look so desolate. Tyson Furn
iture has placed some of their
most attractive furniture in i
the store formerly occupied 1
by Spann’s Feed and Seed 1
and Grocery store. Pence’s
Variety store has expanded I
into the building occupied
until recently by Viverette. ;
This building has been leased
by Mr. Pence and here they ^
are able to spread out and
show more of the attractive
merchandise lately brought to
your attention. 1
LOOK AT THIS
For the first time in years,
some say for the first time ‘
ever, we have a paper of 1-1
Pages this week. Read all j
ads, our town is trying to get ^
the idea across to you that j
you should give them the (
first chance to please you. (

TIMELY TIP
If you enjoy spending time
in a hospital with broken
bones, stop here. But if you
wish to avoid that experience,
read the following on how to
walk on a slippery surface.
When walking on ice or any
slippery surface, walk with
your weight on the forepart
or balls of ynur feet and with
practically no weight on your
heels. It works. Try it and
save yourself pain, time, and
money.

OBSERVER
LIKES OUR LIGHTS
As has been reported in
the NEWS during the past
few weeks, the Christmas
lights and decorations have
attracted wide attention and
have drawn generous praise.
Latest to join those prais
ing- Black Mountain’s efforts
is the Charlotte Observer
which covers the two Caro
linas with more than 100,000
circulation.
In the Saturday, Dec. 8,
issue in listing towns with
noteworthy Christmas decor
ations the Observer said
editorially:
. . If anyone happens to
be heading for Asheville, he
should drive through Black
Mountain at a very leisurely
pace. The decorations on
every lamppost are fetch
ing.”
The clipping from the Ob
server was sent to the NEWS
by Willard S. Farrow, Black
Mountain native now admin
istrator of The Methodist
Home at Charlotte.
Mr. Farrow Said:
“We thought you would
be interested in seeing the
enclosed that appeared on
the editorial page this morn
ing. We who are proud to
call Black Mountain our home
town are tne first to catch
these little tidbits.
Mrs. Farrow and I continue
to enjoy the Black Mountain
News each week,”
Post Office
Gives Advice
For Mailing
Postmaster Williams, of
the Black Mountain Post Of
fice, put his “Mail Early for
Christmas” Campaign into
high gear today.
The Postmaster said, “We
’re ready for an all time re
cord Christmas mail. Every
facility of the Post Office is
being expanded to render
maximum service. Special
mailing schedules will be set
up to insure prompt hand
ling of the tremendous flood
of both incoming and out
going mail.”
“However,” the Postmast
er continued, “the vast vol
ume of Christmas mail is
only a part of our problem.
When names and addresses
are carelessly written and
packages are poorly wrapped
or have insufficient postage
on them, such oversights re
sult in delays and disappoint
ments, most of which can be
avoided if everyone will fol
low these simple require
ments—
(1) Be sure your Christ
mas cards and gift mailing
lists are up-to-date.
(2) Use the new 4? Christ
mas stamps on your greeting
cards.
(3) Pack your Christmas
gifts securely in sturdy con
tainers.
(4) Use complete addres
ses—include street number,
rural route or post office
box number. Be sure street
names are complete with
avenue, parkway, road or
drive. Avoid abbreviation of
street and state names. Use
zone numbers, and be sure to
include your OWN zone num
ber in your return address.
(5) And most important
of all-MAIL YOUR CARDS
AND GIFTS WITHIN THE
NEXT FEW DAYS.
STARLIN WHITAKER
IS IN HOSPITAL
Starlin Whitaker, formerly
of Black Mountain, is in the
Charles Cannon Memorial Hos
pital at Banner Elk, N. C.,
where he underwent a serious
operation a few days ago.
A veteran of World War II,
Mr. Whitaker was on the staff
of the Black Mountain News
for a short period in 1950.
Cards and letters should be
sent to him at the above ad
dress.
Turn Your Used
Pcsfeee Stamps
!"to Milk!
Impossible? Not at all. The
Girl Scouts of Troon 98 are
assisting in collecting used
postage stamps of anv kind.
These stamps are soaked off
by the girls and sent to Miss
Edna Haaz, Pearl River, New
York. Miss Haaz counts the
stamps into various type
packs and sells the stamps to
dealers. Miss Haaz uses the
money to buy dried milk for
the children of Indonesia.
Miss Haaz is an invalid, be
ing paralized from the waist
down. She became interested
in stamp collecting as a hobby
and then by corresponding
with other stamp collectors
all over the world, she found
out about the need for milk
among the children of Indo
nesia. The milk is distributed
in schools to children in the
first two grades by one of
the two dentists in the
country. He is the one who
told Miss Haaz that the lack
of milk was the prime factor
in the wide spread of tooth
decay among these children.
To date, Miss Haaz has been
able to send four tons of
powdered milk to these child
ren. The late Mrs. Franklin
Roosevelt helped Miss Haaz
get the mechanics in motion
for the shipments and wrote
Miss Haaz a greatly prized
letter that complimented her
dii the project and pointed out
the advantages to be gained
by such individual projects
to help those in need in fore
ign countries rather than all
the help coming from the
government.
Troop 98 asks that everyone
in the community to help in
this project by saving the en
velopes from Christmas cards
and other Christmas mail so
that the stamps can be re
claimed. Stamps and envel
opes can be left at the NEWS
office or after Christmas you
can call Mrs. W. M. Styles,
6-86-3854, and the cards will
be picked up.

The Book Shelf
The Black Mountain library
received last week the first
book in George Bernard
Shaw’s new phonetic alpha
bet.
The book is a gift from the
Shaw estate and is the plav
ANDROCLES AND THE LION
printed in regular English on
the right side and in the new
phonetic alphabet on the fac
ing page.
Shaw’s will provided 523,000
for the development of the
new phonetic alphabet creat
ed by Kingsley Read, a retired
British lettering designer. An
additional $13,000 was set
aside to furnish every library
in England and the Americas
with a copy of the play in
the two alphabets.
George Bernard Shaw soent
much of his lifetime in “cru
sading against the general un
tidiness of English” and this
new phonetic alphabet is his
contribution toward making
written English simpler and
more precise.
Mrs. McGraw, Black Moun
tain librarian, says that the
reviewers claim one can read
in the new alphabet after
only a few hours of concen
trated study. The characters
look like Egyptian hierogliph
ics at first and remind one
of the stone age. The book
will be an interesting chal
lenge to word study enthus
iasts.
