Reflections by GORDON GREENWOOD mammm HKgjjT - V; /MWiK -V-ft .W.Yr.-i--—.*. Excellent Citizen The master of ceremonies looked around the auditorium, then announced: “Now we’d like to hear from one of our best known citizens, Dave Jones. Dave stood up and looked the crowd over as he walked slowly to the speaker’s stand. He reached out and grasped each sde with his hands as he began: “We are here tonight to talk about politics and how we can go about electing our men in the coming election. “We’re glad to have you folks with us. We want everybody to know that we is welded together in one lump.” The crowd cheered his re marks, but today I doubt if many can recall much that anyone else said or anything else that Dave said, for that matter, but his “one lump” statement will not soon be forgotten. When Dave Jones was bur ied last week following a long illness, the community lost a fine citizen. Dave always fought hard for his own Negro race, but he was always fair, reason able. and respected. He worked hard to bring about cooperation between the races. Because of Dave and many more like him, both white and colored, we have had no problem in our com munity. North Carolina 226 When Ernest Poteat, re tired Northwestern Bank ex ecutive of Bakersville, ran for the House of Representatives from Mitchell County in 1962 he promised, if elected, to VmrH fn snped un the building of a new road from Spruce Pine to Bakersville. Mr. Poteat must have been very effective. An announ cement from Raleigh last week was to the effect that the Highway Commission will receive contract bids on Jan. 28 for the relocation of NC 226 from Spruce Pine fto Bakersville. Anyone who has ever driv en over this “winding stairs” will agree that this improve ment did not come too soon. If I lived in Mitchell County and were of voting age, I’d make sure that Mr. Poteat returns to the General Assembly in 1965. The W*rhor»e» Prior to the Christmas holi days when the Owen High Warhorses were on a 6-game winning streak, the boys were hitting their free throws at a 72'9'c clip. They were scor ing\an average of 61 points per game. They have slipped somewhat during their last three outings which they have lost to Enka, Chase, and Waynesville but should get back on the victory road dur ing their long home stand which opens this week with North Buncombe on Tuesday and runs through Friday, January 24. Hard To Loie Owen lost a hard game at Waynesville Friday evening. Leading by 10 points with less than four minutes to go, the THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS Published Each Thursday at Black Mountain, N. C.

In storming to the victory Waynesville used the nearest thing to a midwest full court press witnessed around here for a long time. The Mountaineers used in tercepted passes, fine rebound ing ,and ball handling, and uncanny accuracy from the free throw line and the floor for the victory. Their speedy guards out in front made several vital interceptions during the rally. North fork News The North Fork Community meeting has been postponed until January 20 th if the weather makes this possible. The place will be Holcombe’s basement at 7:30. Knock on any door in the valley, and you will find someone, or all ill. Whoever decided to start this cold germ picked up a “lu-lu”. Don’t expose yourselves un less it is absolutely neces sary. In another column of this paper, there have been com plaints that the evening gros beak no longer feeds at their station. Would you mind luring a few of the hundreds which are keeping even the bluejays away from our feed ing tray? It makes no dif ference when we fill the tray, nor how many times a day, no other birds have even a glimmering of a chance, and even though the grosbeaks are pretty, we miss the tit mice, the chickadees, the pur ple finches, the cardinals, the juncos, the wrens, towhees, and thrashers. Even the -Woodpeckers thave deserted us. MRS. BERTIS FAIR FEATURED SPEAKER TO BAPTIST WOMEN Mrs. Bertis Fair, who with her husband, Rev. Bertis Fair, is a Home Board Missionary to the Migrants, was the featured speaker at the Jan uary meeting of the First Baptist Woman’s Missionary Society. The Fairs own a cottage at Ridgecrest, which they use as a base for their work in North Carolina, Mary land and Virginia. At pre sent their work is chiefly of a promotional nature, with emphasis on enlisting the interest of local churches in ministering to the migrants in their areas. Formerly they ■were stationed in Florida, living in a house trailer and working directly with the people in the Migrant Camps. During the program, Mrs. Fair showed color slides of various phases of their minis try in Florida. One item of interest to the women was a showing of gifts to the mi grant children, donated by members of Girls’ Auxiliary Their press reminded me of a famous university coach in the midwest who used a full court press so effective ly, while leading his high school team to several sec tional and state champion ships, that the other coaches passed the word along that his team members picked their men up as they came out of the dressing room and stuck like a brother all night. When properly applied by a team trained in such tac tics there is no defense quite as interesting to watch and so effective to use. There are few teams that can do it.

Leimvali Field Representative Q. When I applied for so cial security benefits earlier this year I estimated that my earnings would be $1900. I have since received a raise in pay. Should I notify the social security office of this? A. Yes. You should notify the Social Security Adminis tration immediately any time your rate of earnings changes and affects your entitlement to monthly checks. Q. When I retired this year and applied for social securi ty benefits, I had already made $1700. My boss has asked me to return to work on a part-time basis earning no more than S100 a month. Do I have to notify the social se curity office that I have re turned to work? A. Yes. Even though you will be earning less than $100 in a month when you return to work you will have increas ed your total earnings for the msr tberebv affecting bene fit payments for the entire year. Q. I receive checks on be half of my son. He works part-time during the school year. This summer he has a job that will pay him $70 a week. His total earnings for the year will now be $1380. I originally thought he would earn less than $1200. Should I notify social security? A. Get in touch with the Social Security Administra tion immediately so your son’s benefits can be suspended. We will withhold around $90 in payments. His checks will start again as soon as that amount has been withheld. Q. When I filed my annual report of earnings for last year I estimated that my earnings for this year would be $1400. I now find I will earn $2,000 this year. When should I notify the Social Security Administration? A. Your monthly checks were based on your original estimate. Your new estimate of earnings could result in an overpayment which you might have to repay at a time that is inconvenient to you. So you should notify your spcial security office immediately to prevent any overpayment. Q. I will be 72 years old in August of this year. I am working part-time now but since I understand that you can earn as much as you want when you reach age 72, I will return to full-time em ployment and earn over $1200. Do I have to notify the Social Security Adminis tration of my increase in earnings? A. Yes. Though you may earn as much as you want to beginning in August, your total earnings for the year could affect the number of checks you can receive in the months prior to August. Starting next year when you are 72 or over in all months of the year you can earn as much as you want and you do not have to notify the social security office. IT'S THAT TIME— (From Page 1) ses, doctors, dentists, scien tists and citizens. Yes, Girl Scouting is im portant, important enough to merit the interest and support of every adult American.

ART FEATURED— (From Page 1) taught children art for manv years, pointed Put that child ren draw and paint for the same reason that they dance and sing and should be en couraged equally in all art forms. She also said that children do not need much help in expressing themselves in drawing and painting until they become conscious of space and perspective. This is the point at which an art teacher is needed, unusually between the fifth and seventh grades. When the scheduled pro gram speaker failed to make an appearance, the club mem bers gathered in the dining room where Mrs. W. M. Styles repeated as many comments as she could remember that had been made by the judges as they viewed the exhibit several hours previously.
