LOOKS LIKE "THE GIRL
NEXT DOOR"
Petite and cute as a kitten
was Eileen Fulton of New
York who is really Margaret
McLarty, daughter of the Rev.
and Mrs. James McLarty of
Black Mountain.
Dressed in a pastel suit of
modest design with a most
attractive large pink turn-up
all-around straw hat she was
prettier than TV showed her
to be when she played the
part of Lisa in “As the World
Turns”. The entire congre
gation wanted to speak with
her and meet her and she
was very gracious with her
time and conversation.
She looked more like the
“girl next door”, the typical
dewy fresh, wholesome, All
American girl than she did the
girl from Broadway. We’ve
000000000000000000000
never been able to understand
why the stage make-up should
be worn on the street anyhow,
it is most unbecoming and no
amount of natural beauty can
possibly break through the
large amounts of gook.
This was Miss McLarty’s
first visit home in two years.
Her busy schedule makes it
impossible for her to get
away, but of course her fam
ily visits her in the interim.
I believe I understood her
mother to say that Margaret
is now studying voice, or it
would be correct to say she
is continuing her study be
cause it seems to me she
majored in voice at Greens
boro college.
Seeing Margaret was nice
for all of us; we only hope
her visits will be more fre
quent.

ORIGINAL RONNIE
In case you have seen the
apparation of Ronnie Brandon
on his unique bicycle and
have decided your glasses
need changing, look again.
From a picture in Popular
Mechanics Ronnie made a
first model which was a little
different from the second at
tempt; it was overbalanced
to the back so that every time
he rode over one of the big
humps in the shopping center
the bike reared like a horse,
throwing the rider. In the
pictured model the balance is
as intended and the riding
looks like fun.
To make this bike, Ronnie
inverted a regular bicycle to
get the sprocket wheel high;
replaced the normal front
wheel with a small one and
had a series of rods welded
to get the effect you now see.
He dismounts by slowly ap
plying brakes and shifting his
weight backward so that the
front wheel leaves the ground
and he quickly dismounts,
pulling the bike with him.
The picture is a little pe
culiar in shading because the
best of the pictures made to
day (Thursday) had in the
background a large moving
van and a cab pulling a very
large mobile home. We simp
ly removed Ronnie and bike
from that background and
placed them on another which
was more desirable. This has
been done several times for
proper sizing of pictures, or
for balance desired; not too
long ago we added a single
figure to a group picture in
which he belonged. It must
be disconcerting in the least
to know one’s location in a
picture and to find onesself
in a different spot in the
finished product. Ask Steve
Uzzell, he knows!
GUILD MEMBER FROM
BLACK MOUNTAIN
We are pleased to have so
many artisians of one kind
or another in our community,
but from them all I believe
we have never before had a
resident of Black Mountain
who was a member of the
Southern Highland Handicraft
Guild. We now have such a
craftsman living here — Cliff
Hotchkiss — who makes knot
ted rugs.
To go back for a little
background — Mr. and Mrs.
Ed DuPuy are weaving enthus
iasts and a few years ago Ed
wrote to the Hotchkiss Craft
studio in Connecticut for

Phone 669-5951 Mrs* Queenie Walker, Mgr.
ask, “Is the doctor in?” Barry
some yarn which could not
be obtained around here any
where, it was imported from
Canada and was of the text
ure, I presume, for weaving.
Ii wasn’t too much later that
the DuPuys were in the New
England states and dropped
by to see the Hotchkisses. The
four found that they were
very congenial and several
months later when the Hotch
kiss couple wanted to come
South for a vacation the Du
Puys offered them the use of
Mr. Dixon’s house (he was
Mrs. DuPuy's father and his
house had stood vacant fol
lowing his death).
I remember when Mr. and
Mrs. Hotchkiss came Attawa
said they were going to stay
until they saw the rhododend
ron in bloom. It was then
winter time, or maybe even
in the fall. Anyhow, the
blooms came and faded and
still the two remained. They
too found that this is the
best of all places to live and
now have become permanent
residents.
The knotted rugs are new
to this section, we know the
hooked, the braided and the
looped. Work is done with
a latchet hook using wool
yarn on special canvas back
ing. Most of the materials
are imported, the canvas from
England and as mentioned
before, the yarn from Canada.
This yarn was sold all over
the country by the Hotchkisses
frr hand heavers to use as
did Ed DuPuy.
Now Mr. Hotchkiss belongs
to the Guild which I believe
is the highest honor any
craftsman may achieve. At
the Craftsman’s fair in the
City auditorium beginning
next Monday and continuing
all week through Friday he
will have a booth, or stall, in
which he will demonstrate the
making of his knotted rugs,
have some on exhibit and
some for sale. Although this
show isn’t strictly a local pro
duction everyone in this part
of the state should go at least
once. We are happy that the
Connecticut member of the
Society of Connecticut Crafts
men has become a member
of the Appalachian group.

PRITCHELL
POSTSCRIPTS
BY BARRY MORRIS
^TTTirrirTrBTraTnroTTS'inr
Barry has a colum to write
today. He finds it difficult
to write his column because
must of his office time is
spent in meeting new people
who frequently come to the
assembly. For instance:
Lloyd Householder, in charge
of vocational guidance for the
Baptist Sunday School Board,
enters the press relations of
fice, introduces himself to the
workers saying “Will you send
this teletype message for
me?” As he says this he
shuffles through the stack of
papers which he is carrying.
Eyeing the stack of papers,
which is obviously his mes
sage, Martha grits her teeth,
smiles and says, “I’d be de
lighted”.
All is not like this, espe
cially during the week, just
past, that 3,800 teenagers in
vade the grounds. There is
nothing to quite compare
with the zest of youth just
five years younger than most
ot the staffers.
You realize that everyone
here knows how to give di
rections. We are in the east
wing of Pritchell Hall on the
second floor. The assembly
infirmary is on the second
floor, west wing of Pritchel!
Hall. Seems like everyone
is looking for the infirmary
They ask for its location al
the information desk in the
lobby. They invariably fol
low the instructions straighl
to the press relations office
They walk in and as the tele
type machine sings away they
says no, can I help you? Oh
well.
The day is then enlightened
by the drama director, Carl
Kell, who insists that every
morning is a good morning.
What is Barry to do? His
deadline is fast approaching.
There is so much that
needs to be said in the col
umn this week. If only
people would stop coming in
the office. Like I could tell
about the staff’s powder puff
football game, or about those
early morning hikes. I cert
ainly need to introduce Dr.
Robert Faulkner; he’s the
medical doctor that has been
i dded to the Ridgecrest sum
mer staff. This is the first
year that Ridgecrest has had
a doctor in residence. The
doctor is a former staffer too.
Some guest just stuck his
head in the office and asked
if it was the dining room.
Surely now kid. this room
doesn’t look like a dining
room, does it?
Better include something
about next week. Five con
ferences will be in session.
Let’s see. There’s the Train
ing Union conference, the dea
cons’ conference, retardates
conferences, vocational guid
ance laboratories, and the
first of four youth klesis’.
Mornings are nice in the
Ridgecrest press office. We
go through the local dailies
and look for articles about
Ridgecrest. In the process
we read Abbie, Earl, Ann and
Peanuts. We check the mail.
We send and receive teletypes.
We tell people where the in
firmary is.

Broadway Hit
Show This Week
At Playhouse
Inside a small, private
English hotel, love and loneli
ness sit at “Separate Tables’’
as Terence Rattigan’s engross
ing comedy-drama unfolds or
the Flat Rock Playhouse stage
this week, beginning Tuesday
evening.
The Vagabond Players have
chosen this long-run Broad
vvay hit as their fourth pro
duction. The memorable film
starred Deborah Kerr, Burl
Lancaster, David Niven and
Wendy Hiller. “I think ‘Sep
arate Tables’ is a triumph”
reported Richard Watts in the
N. Y. Post.
Composed of two plays
“Table at the Window” anc
“Table Number Seven”, the
plots utilize the same char
acters with few exceptions
and the same setting, a gen
teel dining room and lounge
in Bournemouth. In “Table
al the Window”, a down-at-the
heel journalist is confrontec
by his ex-wife, a formei
model, who provoked him te
an act of violence whicl
ended in ruin. Still in love
with each other, they never
theless seek a way to repail
their broken lives.
Of special interest will b(
the original setting designee
by Martin Lepisto. The three
level stage will allow the aud
ience to view several scene
ot action simultaneously, add
ing a completely new concep
to Flat Rock presentations.
“Separate Tables” is direct
ed by Anita Grannis, who ha
previously staged it for the
Tampa, Fla. Communit;
Theatre. The production con
tinues through Saturday even
ing, with matinees on Wednes
day and Saturday.
