Historic Past
Recalled For
Kiwanians
When a pinch-hitter comes
thru with a hit he is applaud
ed. Although it was not base
ball, William McMurray was
the substitute speaker at the
August 5 meeting of the Ki
wanis Club of Black Mountain
Swanannoa and was applaud
ed.
His rapid fire delivery had
all gasping for air as he com
mented on the history of
Black Mountain and Swanna
oa valley. He stated that the
first settler in this Cherokee
area was killed. Land at one
time sold for five cents an
acre. The advent of the stage
coach introduced a new out
look. As people poured into
this area tourist inns and more
homes sprang into existence.
When the railroad made its
debut, steamer trunks and
luggage used to pile up to
such an extent that it took
all day to deliver them. After
World War I there was a
boom in real estate. Mr. Mc
Murray told of the coming of
the various assemblies and
their influence on the com
munity. He spoke briefly on
beauty of our mountains and
valley, fishing spots, hiking
trails and scenic roads. He
noted one sad fact that the
last wild turkey around here
was shot in 1903.
When Mr. McMurray col
lapsed from his own exertion,
he had stirred up so many
memories that the meeting
lasted another ten minutes.
Subjects covered during that
time were swimming holes,
flowers, Indian trails, bear
grass (which according to
“Hugh” White is neither a
bear nor a grass but a lily),
the wondrous train ride from
Black Mountain to Old Fort.
Mr. McMurray reserved his
greatest sentiment for our
mountains and rightly so as

RARE BIRD SEEN
IN VALLEY SKY
Latest thrill for bird watch
ers is the sight of a swallow
tail kite glimpsed Sunday
afternoon by E. M. Hoffman
and friends from the neighbor
hood of Last Resort. The kite
was soaring on the wind cur
rent and although clearly
visible with the naked eye the
members of the group also
viewed the bird through bino
culars.
Although the swallow-tail
kite is rare in this part of the
South, bird books state that
they are occasional visitors to
this area. Since this visitor
Sunday was identified beyond
any doubt it must be that the
group was treated to one of
the rare visits by a transient
kite.

AARP CANCELS
MEETING IN FAVOR
OF LIBRARY FAIR
The members of the AARP
at their last session voted un
animously to forego their reg
ular meeting on Friday the
thirteenth so that each mem
ber might be free to attend
the Library Fair at their
leisure.
This was done in recogni
tion of the fact that some of
their members are active in
the organization of the fair.
It was also realized that the
Library Fair is a really worth
while event benefiting a ma
jor community project, the
Black Mountain Library Build
ing Fund.
Education depends on the
dissemination of knowledge
and one means is a good li
brary—a place truly for the
young and the not so young.
Guests Become
Speakers For
Rotary Club
With the scheduled speaker
failing to show for the Mon
day meeting of Rotary club,
many visitors were pressed
into service to give the mem
bers and other guests not only
an informative but interesting
program on activities occuring
in other clubs.
Ihe majority of these speak
ers were from out of the State
and events in their clubs
brought new ideas not only
for the local club but for those
represented as well.
