Library Site:
Tht Friends of the Library,
■ about which one reads and
' . j0 much these days, are
.. .king toward better facil
it:i; for that service. The
CLimittee, faced with the
i responsibility of selecting a
! suitable lot for the anticipa
te,! building of the future,
! wonders if there are others
[ who may have property they
| would like to offer as a gift
t,, the town for a site. One
.■uch place has been offered
and it is a nice one, too, but
! the committee would like to
j have a little wider selection in
case this first gift might not
I meet the need for some rea
son.
The committee has not
made known the requirements
for which they are looking in
a lot. From former discus
sions I assume they want a
| location convenient to down
j town and large enough for a
one-story building since the
I flight of stairs is difficult for
j some of our elderly people to
accomplish.
So, if you have downtown
property on which you are
j tired of paying taxes and
would consider donating for
a worthwhile cause, notify
Jim Uzzell, chairman of this
j committee.
Further Service:
While I’m speaking of the
Friends of the Library it
seems more than worthwhile
to comment on the new home
service for shut-ins which is
being offered by this group.
How nice that someone
thought of the idea. Now
Town
least make known their de
sires and others will see that
the best choice is made and
delivered to the shut-in once a
week.
Nice Arrangement:
When it came to our at
tention that the Spruill fam
ily from Columbia was oc
cupying the rectory in the
absence of the Donald family
and the Rev. Edward Spruill
would conduct the St. Janies
Episcopal services during the
Month of August it seemed
like an ideal arrangement.
Surely there is no more dis
agreeable place for the sum
Mer months than the town of
Columbia, lovely as it looks.
Fortunately this does not
Mean that the Donalds are oc
cuPying the Spruill’s resi
dence, or I suppose they
a*en’t and for Rev. Spruill
this is not a true vacation,
on,y a change of scenery and
a Pleasant climate in which to
Pa*s the month of August.
Eve often thought how
wonderful it would be to have
a friend with a home, say in
1 b'rida, or at the beach, with
whom you could exchange
acation location. I mean
just walk out of the house
and let the friend plus family
;alk in. The snag here is
• at the only people I know
•om Florida want to come to
tne mountains in the summer,
naturally, and the very
"'oughts of travel through
jonie parts of Georgia and
u.uth Carolina in the swelt
lnP' heat gives me sunstroke.
- nvhow, for year-round liv
!ns- °le Black Mountain is
"ard to beat.

Vegetables
Add Variety At
White Donkey
On Saturday, Aug. 10, one
can find for sale at the White
Donkey shop a variety of
vegetables, all contributed by
members of the organization
Friends of the Library.
In spite of increasing volume
in sales, however, Mrs. J. W.
Bergthold, chairman of the
committee operating the shop,
says additional articles are
continually being offered—for
example, earrings, necklaces,
and other kinds of jewelry,
as well as sterling silver
knives, dessert plates, and
saucers.
At the same time Mrs.
Bergthold announces the need
of gifts of more things which
can be sold because the sales
during the past two Saturdays
have been rapid.
The selling period at the
shop is 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on
Saturdays. It will be appre
ciated if those making dona
tions of articles to the shop
will deliver them on Thurs
days between 10 a.m. and
noon. The shop will also be
open on Thursdays from 2:30
5 P.M. beginning this week.
Mrs. R. C. Wright will be in
charge at this time.
Those who have articles
wnicn iney wuuiu ukc iu uu
nate to the shop but who
are without means of deliver
ing them, may take advantage
of an offer by Mr. and Mrs.
Bob R. Martin. They request
that such people call the
Martins’ home, 669-7334, and
leave their names, addresses
and ’phone numbers, as well
as information concerning the
nature of the articles. The
Martins will then arrange to
pick up the articles and de
liver them to the shop.

TOWN OF BLACK MOUNTAIN
The parking meters in downtown Black Mountain have been very much in the
news recently with some merchants maintaining that the mere fact that they are in
operation at all has hurt business.
For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the type of tickets distributed
here by the town police, the News is happy to reproduce above one of the same.
Tickets On Sale
For Annual Club
Pancake Feast
This week Kiwanians will
be given tickets to sell for the :
annual Pancake Jamboree ,
which has grown into one of
Black Mountain’s main an- ,
nual events. Last year was ,
a record breaker, just like ,
“old home week”, smiling
faces, old and new, many re
lated, others just friendly ,
folk, but all happy to sit ;
down at the festive board.
Ihe feast is being held at
the same place, Owen High
school cafeteria, Saturday,
Aug. 24, from 5 p.m. to 7:30
p.m. Adults $1, children
under 15 years ,50(- and
children under 6 years FREE,
if accompanied by their par
ents. Proceeds are for our
local youth activities, only
once annually do the Kiwan
ians appeal to the public for
assistance, feeling that by so
doing all people will patro
nize their pancake feast.
The Kiwanis club concen
trates on assistance to youth,
although they donated to the
local horse shows, Christmas
decorations, and many other
worthy projects.
In addition to pancakes as
light as feathers, and sausage
meat of a quality and prep
aration undreamed of, with
that home-made flavor, last
year there were balloons and
lollypops for the children,
and appetizing music for the
adults.
They want to know how
much meat to procure —
147 pounds were consumed
last year, which was more
than estimated — so please
help out, get your tickets
early. All this meat, plus
100 lbs. of pancake mix, 40
gals, of milk, 30 lbs. of but

eggs, cream and sugar, would

Backers believe that to

Especially in this type of pro
motion and a full time staff,
[t is thought that a budget

Present As Club
Hears Dist. Gov.
The board of directors and
heads of committees from the
Rotary club of Black Moun
tain-Swannanoa met at the
Asheville Federal bank one
hour prior to regular meeting
time on Monday to receive
advice and words of direction
from their district governor,
Archie W. Shuford of Hick
ory.
In telling regular members
later at the meeting on Mon
day he sketched the begin
ning of Rotary which was
first of all for fellowship,
then community service be
gan to be stressed along with
ethical practices in business
which brought into being the
vocational service.
With the spread of the Ro
tary movement outside the
country, growth was enthus
iastic, reaching proportions of
five to one greater outside
the country as the popularity
gained momentum.
There are no slogans for
this year from the interna
tional president who lives in
this country where freedom
and justice predominate. There
are no Rotary clubs behind
the Iron Curtain because
there is no freedom.
Mr. Shuford closed his talk
by saying that Rotary is an
investment the individual
makes in happiness because
he is helping himself at the
same time he is helping others
through the four avenues of
service.
Guests for this meeting

Folks On Move
Have Feeling of
Not Belonging
“Friendship in Civic Devel
opment” was the topic dis
cussed before the local Ki
wanis club at its Aug. 1 meet
ing. In observance of Friend
ship Week Dr. Albert E.
Demmock, director of Evangel
ism of the Presbyterian
Church of U. S. under the
direction of the Board of
Church Extension, Atlanta,
gave the address.
Dr. Demmock, a summer
resident of Montreat and a
forceful young speaker, point
ed out the difficulties of
practical brotherhood efforts
today because of the ever
shifting population — one of
every four families changes lo
cation every year — and the
tendency of families to live
in apartments. Both of these
factors produce a certain root
lessness resulting in a feeling
of “not belonging” in manj
individuals. Many do not

SAFETY TIP
What if you had to make
a hard, sudden stop to avoid a
traffic smashup? A lot would
depend on your tires and
brakes. In other words, the
condition of your car could
be an important factor in
saving your life—or losing it.
The North Carolina Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles makes
this suggestion: Let a quali
fied mechanic check over your
car for safe summer time
driving. Check your car.
Check accidents on Tar Heel
aighways.
