Reflections GORDON GREENWOOD BIG SHOT—NO MONEY What local big shot—and I do mean a wheel—made the trip into Asheville recently to hear his favorite politician, Luther Hodges, speak at the Democratic breakfast ? But—after having pulled himself out of bed at THAT early hour and driving to town, he was turned back practically at the dining room when he suddenly remembered that in his haste he had forgotten a very minor but necessary de tail. For the first time in a long time a man who could write a check running into just about as many figures as you have fingers and toes was caught with his purse empty. Since he was too indepen dent to borrow from friends, he ate alone in the hotel's coffee shop. How did he do it without money? Well, I said in the begin- I ning he is well known. It was I no trouble at all for him to i make arrangements with the i hotel to sign his check for 1 his breakfast. TOO MANY TICKETS The order of tickets which the Black Mountain News re cently furnished the Demo cratis Women of Buncombe County must have been hexed by the Republicans. First, Harry McDonnald of Montreat graciously agreed to deliver the boxes to the head quarters in the Legal Building in Asheville. He did. But while the tick ets were being unloaded Har ry got a ticket for overpark ing by the Asheville Police Department. The next morning while in Asheville I ran upstairs to see if the cards were all right— the same policeman must have CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Advertising under this heading will be charged for at the rate of 75 cents minimum for 15 words, per insertion.

In the Black Mountain iwannanoa area we have some f the finest lunch rooms and he best managers and “Lunch loom Ladies” in the state, ’arents who have not done o already should make it a oint to visit the Swannanoa Hack Mountain or Owen Ichool lunch rooms and see ow well the children are fed. 'hey’ll be pleased. At the dedication of the ew Barndrdsville Post Of ice on Sunday I was talking o some friends about how imes and schools have hanged since we went to chool there in the old brick uilding that sat on the bank t the intersection of the !ig Creek and North Fork loads. In those days lunch rooms •ere unheard of and most of he kids didn’t even bring inch to school. We wanted o use the entire hour for lay. That results in eating heavy breakfast and a big upper but no lunch. First time I saw a school inch room was in college and ■ was so strange that I didn't ven recognize it. But it was while in high chool that a classmate of line at the old Grace School rote an essay which said, in art, “and the day will come hen a school lunch room will e a necessity instead of a ixury.” Those lines written by ignes Calloway (now Mrs. lurt Teague of Asheville) ave proved to be correct. The school lunch room is ow taken for granted but it houldn’t be. All of us should how more interest. Next reek is a good time to start.

How To Finance A Car ■ ■ I Choose the car that suits the needs of you and your family. Then come to the bank and discuss with a lending officer in the Installment Loan De partment how much money you will need to pur chase the car. The lending officer will tell you how much monthly payments will be on various loan plans. Repayment may be made over a period of 12,18,24, 30, or 36 months. Let us discuss briefly the various items which are covered in a bank auto loan. Interest on tip, total amount of the loan is added to the principal. Insurance coverage including collision, required on all auto loans, may be incorporated in the total amount of the loan, or you may obtain this insur ance from your insurance agent Credit life in surance, which in the event of death pays the balance of the loan, is available at the customer's option. There is also a small fee covering the cost of recording the lien. To summarize, all car loans include the princl* pal, interest, and a small recording fee. The required insurance may be covered in the loan or obtained from your insurance agent Credit life insurance may also be included in the loan. The total amount of the loan is then divided into equal monthly installments. The number of monthly payments will depend to a great extent on your personal finances, your ability to repay, the amount of money borrowed, and the age of the car. Generally speaking,, the bank will lend the retail cost of a new car less about 25 per cent On used cars, the lending officer will refer to a published listing such as the RED BOOK edited by National Market Reports, Inc. for the loan value of the car. Do remember, with hank auto loans you have the advantages of stated interest rates and no hidden costs, and you build a bank credit reference.
