Benedict When a mother anJ father have a daughter whole face ii familiar to TV watchen and a voice that is a delight for all to hear, then their faces all reflect happiness. This is exactly what happened when Miss Margaret McLarty came home to visit her family one weekend recently. On Sunday morning at the 11 o’clock service Miss McLarty thrilled the congregation with her expressive solo “There is a Balm in Gilliad” which was highlighted by the final phrase sung a capella. A tribute to the clarity of her tone and qual ity was her near-perfect diction which was surprisingly dis tinct. I say “surprisingly distinct” because it seems to have be come an accepted fact that the listener isn’t supposed to un derstand the words of a song, no matter in what language it is sung. When words are as easily understood as tbo»<> of Margaret’s solo, then it is cause for comment. There were many visitors from other churches, both in town and out, to hear the little actress from “As the World Turns” who portrays Lisa so effectively that persons, seeing her on the street, cannot separate her private life from that of the can’t-make-up-her-mind girl of the make believe world. One visitor, an elderly woman who likes her daytime dra mas, stood with tears streaming down her face. They were tears of joy which came to the surface because of the gracious manner with which Margaret greeted her.the color of her skin had made no difference to Margaret nor to the people with whom she had sat during the service. On Sunday afternoon one of the circles of the church held a coffee for Miss McLarty. Girls from the Senior MYF assist ed with the serving. From left to right they are Vicki Osteen, Lee Hudson, Martha Bryant, Emily Glenn and Mary Benedict. Nancy Pollard also served. Owen Students Attend State PTA Convent'n Ten members of the Charles D.

METHODIST MEM OBSERVE NIGHT WITH LADIES ire1hcdist men with their ladies, observed Ladies1 Night Monday at the Black Mountain Methodist Church with a cov ered dish supper.

Guess has re turned to her home here after a stay with her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Borgman and children of Clemson, S. C. Margaret, who had been talking with both friends of many years and strangers as well, was ready for a cup of tea after two hours of standing and chatting. Richard Bell and Mrs. Bell have been served. Mr. Bell is one of the new teachers at Owen; he and his wife and baby son live in Swannanoa. Mis« Kathy Miller with her “spot of tea” made herself right at home on one side of the room and spooned her tea down very efficiently. She is the youngest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. R. Miller. Many guests from Marion and Asheville also attended the afternoon event. Hearing snatches of several of the conversations between Margaret and the guests we found that she prefers per forming before a “live” audi ence such as she had while on Broadway; she would like a chance at Hollywood; her sum mer program, which was «rn in the evening is no longer on the air and she has had a try at night club singing which she likes because it gives a chance for a wide variety of types of songs and again the audience is there for stimul ation. The visit was brief but she left behind many people who will cherish the memory of her visit and the pleasure she brought with her singing and bright personality. 95 Attend Chapter Meet Of Red Cross The Black Mountain-Swann anoa Red Cross Chapter held a meeting Mondav Nov. 8th at 7:30 in the lobby and din ing room at the Monte Vista Hotel, with an attendance of 95 including Chapter directors, wives, and other guests.

Let Our Hearts Give Thanks The Black Mountain Garden Club will hold its annual Thanksgiving Dinner at the Baptist Church Assembly Room at 6:30 Friday, November 19.

The program will be pictures—garden pictures—taken by members and selected from the large numbers available to reduce duplication.

Rolarians Hear Carson On Agriculture The Rotary club met at the Monte Vista Monday noon for the weekly meeting. Presi dent Lawrence Brandon of ficiated. There were several guests, one from Ocala, Flori da and four from the Asheville club. Rev. A. T. Usher introduced the speaker, Garry Carson, who has been the Vocational Agriculture teacher for sever al years at Charles D. Owen High School. His topic was agriculture in North Carolina. Mr. Carson stated that whereas he used to teach dirt farming, he now teaches every thing but that. His field trips in the summertime give him the chance to make sugges tions for improving present methods being used on farms from the size of 3 acres to 57 acres. He gave the median farm income as $4,419, al though he admitted some fanners supplement this by doing other work. Buncombe county farmers have the high est agriculture income in the State, even though 2% of the farms have no electricity, 8% have no bathrooms, and 4% no running water in the home. Mr. Carson also teaches adult vocational education classes; in 1964 this class was made up of 25 adults. He exnects this kind of teaching will be expanded although “Ag” teachers in this area of the country are scarce. The local high school makes agriculture courses available for four of the years in school. The equipment for their use includes some 600 text books in the library, a joiner and table saw and drills and grinders. There are two summer camps run for students where practical farming methods are taught and the boys can spend a week for the nominal sum of $14 plus transportation. The speaker stated that stu dents who have an agriculture al education have jobs avail able although the state is pointing more toward indus trialization. Mr. Carson stressed the need for more teachers for the agri cultural courses in the state and expressed satisfaction and enjoyment in his work. Raising Dogs Fun and Hobby Says Speaker For some it is fun, for oth ers it is a business, but for Mr. and Mrs. George Ensmin ger it is a hobby. Mr. Ens minger speaking at his Ki wanis Club at the Monte Vista Hotel on November 11 referr ed to a dog show as a sport of a contest nature. He and }iis wife have always loved dogs and since coming to Black Mountain they have ac quired a pure bred pug dog. After several friends suggest ed that he show his dog, he has entered it in several dog shows and has acquired six points in one year toward a champion rating, which is fif teen points. Mr. Ensminger believes that the best dog to own is a pure bred as you know what you are getting. His pug dog is of a pure breed which dates back some three to four thous and year. He spoke in detail On the obedience, confirmation and field trial shows. The or ganization of the country-wide dog shows under the auspices of the American Kennel Club was described and the details of an actual show were listed. He told of the professional work done in organizing a show and the judging of the dogs in each class to the se lcting of an all around best dog from the winner in each class. The ring in which the dogs are shown is not really a ring but a square or oolong. Entry fees, admission fees and sale of catalogues are used to cover operating expenses of a show. Judges are usually li censed to judge all breeds and some make a living at judg ing. If you have the time, it is fun to travel to the various shows where you meet very interesting people. After lis tening to Mr. Ensminger some Kiwanians wondered who has more fun than people. Could it be dogs? After the pledge of alleg iance to our flag, Presidents Hubert White and several oth er Kiwanians reminised on their experiences of World War One and all agreed that they were lucky to be living to-day. Francis Pless of Asheville and James R. Young of An derson, S. C. were guests.
