He was just a little old white mule, but he was weary and hot when we first saw him parked in the sun out side a local restaurant on Tuesday of last week. He had walked every step from Wheeling, W. Va., and if he has the endurance, will walk every step to California The only reason we even happened to know about the event at all was because some kind person called in to tell us that they thought we might be interested in a picture. The voice went on to say that I three young men were on their way to California in a covered wagon being drawn by one small mule. We found the venturesome group having lunch; the mule and wagon were parked out side in the boiling sun al though there was plenty of shade to be had. One look at the little old mule, shifting his weight from '1 UZZELL'S PHARMACY for PRESCRIPTIONS and PROFESSIONAL SERVICE 1. Free PRESCRIPTION DELIVERY 2. Competitive PRICES with no gimmicks 3.

I foot to another and a raw. bleeding place on his leg wnere the harness buckle had bee n allowed to rub. con voiced us we wouldn’t like their story, no matter what it was. We notified the local ofri ccrs of the SPCA—Emily and Mac Wood—who went immed ntelv to investigate. They of fered the young men the choice of attending to the physical needs of their animal or answering to the author ities. To show they weren't fooling, they notified the Asheville office of the SPCA who had the highway patrol meet the young men with salve for the sore and further admonishment about proper treatment. The morning paper showed the wagon somewhere between here and Asheville, the little feller plodding along trying to get in his 25 miles for the day. The young men reported via the morning paper that the only trouble they had en countered was the theft of some food and their guitar One comment was that it appeared as though the young men should pull the wagon and let the mule ride. We agree, at least part-time trans portation for Em. Wood’s "little horse” should be pro- : vided. BE CONSIDERATE There are those who, when ■ darkness comes and lights go on, lock every door and win- ; dow because they are afraid; i this applies to both men and > women. ' We have in our community ] an unusual number of widows, , many have children still at i home with them, some do not. i A rap on the door and a call i from anyone wishing to visit j does not bother many of these ; persons, other are apprehens- , ive and wish the visiting j would be done before dark. , Worst imposition of all is < the “telephone borrower” — j in spite of the increase in the i The perfect time to get the best deal on America’s No. 1 cars Traditionally, Chevrolet has been America’s best seller. And right now, more than ever, because the ’64 model year is almost over and your Chevrolet dealer has to make room for the ’65s, it’s America’s best buy. But don’t wait. Come in and see how great the deals are on these No. 1 cars. Come in now while there’s still a big selection of models and colors. Come pick your favorite while the picking’s still good.

The occa ional use o' a private phone bv a neiehh -r who is in need of this immediate means of rommunieati'n would not b' denied by a >vone, but there is a line between an emerg ency and imposing on the rood graces of a friend. Ap parently there are a few voune people who seem to think that the> are privileged to use the phone any time they wish for purely social purposes. Everyone would like to be kind and generous to those who an less fortun ate, even to the lack of a phone, and some women simp ly do not have the heart to deny the use of their phone, day or night, for any purpose Consideration is asked, if you are borrowing the use of a private phone, do try to make culls before dark. Seems like a small matter to those who are unafraid of the night and knocks on the door at any time. To anyone who has such tears everyone, especially the neighbors, should give aid. USA RETURNS TO TV For those who have missed Lisa, Eileen Fulton stage name), Margaret McLarty (real iame), we have great news. She will again play her role n the TV show “As the iVorld Turns” beginning this veek. Several months ago she levered her relations with :BS to devote her time to ither things and because there vere parts of the contract lot particularly to her liking U1 has been changed: she vill return to the show with natters pretty much as she wishes them to be. Her act ng has been so convincing nd she was so downright lood that apparently sponsors ound that simply the mention if her name with a flash-back ii an old picture did not sat sfy the viewers—so Lisa re urns. Look for her to ap >ear more often than in ormer days; this is only a >uess on our part but it seems ogical. For those who do not know —Lisa is the daughter of the dev. and Mrs. James McLarty if Black Mountain. BREACH OF PROMISE? Better be careful these lays, boys, because when you isk a young lady to marry gu she expects orange blos oms and bridal music. As I’ve mentioned many imes before we do have ome very cute youngsters on >ur street, so when one of he “older” men on our street isked Anne Keever, aged 4. a marry him, and the date vas set for the following Sun lay, she was a trifle peeved .vith the groom-to-be when he didn’t show up. According to brother Lenny, vho reported the jilting to the other youngsters on the alock, “Daddy said if he had i two gauge shotgun he w/culd go after that boy.” “Daddy” really meant to blast him off this earth be cause I’ve been told that a (wo gauge would be about small cannon size. So men. don’t fool ’round with these mountain women because feudin’ is still stylish in these parts! By D. C. Nichols Field Representative Someone has defined retire ment as “'an extended vaca tion without pay”. The point is: When you retire your earnings will stop. Naturally, your chief concern then is when you will receive your first social security check. You can speed up the re ceipt of that first check by visiting your social security office, or meeting the repre sentative, two or three months before you plan to retire. By doing so you can find out exactly when you should file your claim and what records or documents you will need to furnish. If you have everything you need with you when you act ually file (which if possible should be at least six weeks before you retire), your claim should go through promtly so that the postman can be at your door well ahead of the “wolf”. Remember, if you are plan ning to retire, visit your social security office or meet the representative to inquire some weeks at least before you retire! by GORDON GREENWOOD ( •.V.S'&Xv.....❖.w.v.v THE EMERALD ISLE It takes but a glimpse m Ireland for you to know wh\ 1 hey call it “The Emeralc Isle”. It's greener than gra-e and as beautiful as the geir itself. My first sight of Irelanc came in 1943 as we rounder the northern tip on our waj to Liverpool. There wasn't room on deck for everybody and we spent most of thr time below. But we did see massive rocks rising out of a preen sea. At that time after many days of twisting and tinning on the way from New York, any kind of land looked good. But if you take the night boat from Glasgow, you'll ar rive off the Irish coast just as the last shades of darkness are fading. It is an impress ive sight as the boat winds its w’ay through the bay to the dock at Belfast. fn fact if I’d never seen Western North Carolina I might be tempted to say it’s the most beautiful place in the world. But—? At first as I looked out at the green hills slipping by, dotted here and there with Ihe stone cottages and walls. I thought we were looking at a huge painting. And I thought that the artist cert ainly had not spared the ?reen paint. At that time the boat was net by a drove of cabbies ,vith horses and cabs. There ■vasn’t an automobile to be >een. A story in one of the na ional magazines this week hat Ireland was changing wrought back these and many >ther memories of the count ryside around Belfast and Larne. They may change the looks of the cities and the highways, but they’ll never improve on that color. It’s greener than anything you've ever seen. But if and when you go to Ireland, take your raincoat and keep it with you. It rains several times a day and what walking you do is between showers. FVERETT DIRKSEN One of the first political wheels that I heard speak after migrating to Illinois back in the mid-thirties was Everett Dirksen. now senator from the Prairie State. In those days he was run ning for Congress and wasn’t ar well knowm as he is now. It was in the town square in LeRoy. 111., a small farming community in Central Illinois, that I met the man destined to wield a big stick in the politics of the Republican Party in Illinois and the na tion. Prior to the speech Dirksen came out and shook hands with many. He has a fine personality and is—or was in those days—easy to talk <o Even then he was a good speaker. Til never foreet what h said. He spent 10 min»f“ telling us that we were >o ins at one politician didn’t believe in mud slinging The preliminaries over, he tore into Roosevelt and the Democrats with great enihus iasm. Whatever he said it must have worked. He was electee and has been in the house or senate since that time. STATE CHAMPION Black Mountain now boast; a state champion as one o! its citizens. John Alexander, who spend; part of the time in Raleigh won the Watermelon Seec Spitting Contest at the Farm er’s Market in Raleigh re ccntly. He hit the target at 3i feet 10 inches without am trouble. His nearest compet itor could manage only 2( feet. A four column headlim proclaimed the new stati champ in the Raleigh New and Observer. When Alexander sent tin seed hurtling through the ai for the record—spit-spat-spit ten — anyway distance, th< news accounts said hats wer blown off. baskets were ovei turned, and all ladies withii the confines of the hug market grabbed their skirt and held on for dear life. But when the big wind ha< subsided John, who owns th Raleigh Tractor and True Co., was proclaimed as th best spitter in all of Tar Hee land. Residents ' of the Nortl Fork, Lakewood, and Mor treat road areas, which ar overlooked by the Alexande ranch here in Black Moun tain, were hoping today tha he didn’t practice while rest ing in the mountains. i North Fork j I Hews I Mrs. Gordon Lunsford gave a birthday luncheon for Mrs. Seward Glenn on Wednesday of last week.
