Collisions

Shown In Film
It would be well if every
automobile driver could see
the film entitled Broken
Glass” shown before the Octo
ber 22 meeting of the local
Kiwanis club. This film was
prepared by a group of en
gineers from the University
of California. It shows the re
sults of collisions of actual
automobiles loaded with life
size manikins of adult and
young humans when traveling
at different speeds. Even at
twenty miles an hour when
one car hit another broadside
as at an intersection the re
suit was te|rrifying. When
shown in slow motion the
flying bodies along «th b™
en glass and other debris
made one shudder.

SCHOOL
FACTS. VOTERS URGED
Important facts concerning the upcoming school bond
issue will be a vital matter to this community since the con
struction of a new primary building is long overdue. With
this in mind, the following data is both informative and ih>
teresting to the voter.
The bond issue can be pass
ed without increasing local or
state taxes. Each voter will
pay these taxes even if the
bond issue fails. Our present
state tax structure is bringing
in additional revenue each
year to create a surplus. Our
schools need a part of this
surplus.
Buncombe county schools
need 121 additional class
rooms. Of the $1,657,288.29
to be allocated to the county,
Black Mountain will receive
a portion for their expansion
which has already been ap
proved.
Up to the present time our
school building program has
been largely financed on a
local level. Let the state tax
structure carry a part of this
load as the passing of the
bond issue will accomplish.
The Southern Association
accreditation, of which we are
so proud, will be endangered
if this bond issue fails. Bun
combe county will be forced
to use a larger portion of lo
cal taxes for building pur
poses.
It is important to know that
this is a non-partisan issue.
Both candidates for governor
have endorsed this program.
Many state and local organ
izations have endorsed and
will actively support the bond
issue for the further improve
ment of educational opportun
ities for each child.
The bond referendum was
authorized by the 1963 Gen
eral Assembly for $100 million
to alleviate overcrowded con
ditions by providing financial
aid toward the construction
of 11,187 rooms.
Mere endorsement of the
bond issue by the many groups
which have given their stamp
of approval does not author
ize the bonds; it is necessary
for a favorable vote at the
polls to make the issuance
effective. Voting a straight
ticket does not include the
bond issue. You must pull
the lever which says “Yes”
above the bond issue label.
Increased enrollment, shift
ing population, broader curri
culum offerings and obsolete
buildings have caused the
present emergency.
It is noteworthy that the
only state-wide bond issues
recently have been the years
1949 and 1953, both of which
were for $50,000,000. The
financing of school construc
tion has been a county re
sponsibility.
The benefit from the state
wide bond issue will be for
the children of the state.
Be sure to vote “Yes”; we
cannot afford to miss this op
portunity.
LEGION TO MEET
AT VFW CLUBHOUSE
Waycaster-McFee American
Legion will meet Tuesday
night, Nov. 3 at 7:30 at the
Veterans of Foreign War club
house. All members are urg
ed to attend.
Fi.mness is that admirable
quality in ourselves that is
merely stubbornness in oth

Public Invited
To Exhibit Ot
Arts - Crafts
If you want to know how
some of your neighbors spend
some of their spare hours
then come to the Arts and
Crafts Exhibit to be held at
the First Baptist Church in
Black Mountain from 10:00
A.M. to 5:30 P.M. on Friday
ot this week, October 30th
There you will see displayed
weaving of various kinds
paintings, chair upholstery
braided rugs, arrays of green
ery and foilage, metal work
bird feeders, flower arrange
ments, jewelry, chair caning
and several other kinds of
creative endeavors which help
people while away what might
be otherwise lonely hours.
The purpose of the
exhibit is not only to permit
the public to see what others
have done but mainly to create
interest on the part of many
to try their hand at doing
creative activities. It is gen
erally agreed that making
things with one’s hands is not
only in the usefulness of the
articles made but in giving
the individual improved health
which usually results from
these types of activity. Old
er people especially are find
ing that eng? mg in the arts
and crafts a'is years of sat
isfaction and enjoyment tc
their retirement days.
The public is cordially in
vited to attend the exhibit al
any time between 10:00 A.M
and 5:30 P.M. Some of th«
exhibitors will be engaged ir
their various activities bet
ween the hours of 2 and 4
P.M. The exhibit is communi
ty wide in scope and is being
sponsored by the local chap
ter of the American Associa
tion of Retired Persons.

TREAT HELPS
UNICEF
When the door bell starts
ringing on Halloween, October
31, give the Trick ’n Treaters
coins for UNICEF.
The local chapter of the
United Church Women are
sponsoring the drive through
the Youth groups of the
Churches in the Swannanoa
Black Mountain area.
The United Nations Child
ren’s Fund (UNICEF) is tak
ing on more and more duties
in feeding today’s millions of
children throughout the world
who are ill-fed, unschooled and
threatened by disease.
Just one coin means so very
much to those who have so
little. One penny buys five
glasses of milk or a vaccine
to protect a child from tuber
culosis. Five cents buys
twenty-five glasses of milk or
vaccine to protect five child
ren from TB. Ten cents buys
penicillin to cure four child
ren of yaws. Fifteen cents
buys enough D. D. T. to pro
tect two children from mal
aria for one year.
All these coins make an im
pressive amount. This is a
splendid opportunity to teach
the youth to share with others
and help those in desperate
need.
