MONTREAT
Gladys H. Slight
We have found that there
was always something: of in
terest going on in Montreat
or hereabouts-we still believe
it-weren’t we warned on Sun
day that there was the possi
bility of a tornado going over
the five western counties of
North Carolina, and Buncom
be County was one of them?
If it came anywhere near us,
all we noticed was the rain,
perhaps it stubbed its toe go
ing over the mountains.
On Nov. 15, Montreat-An
derson College students and
interested friends of the
school, attended a lecture
given by Dr. Ernest Gordon,
Dean of the Chapel at Prince
ton University. Dr. Gordon
was born in Scotland and at
teded the University of St.
Andrews. He had had a “spell’’
of duty in the Royal Air For

that left him with a fractured
skull and spine and while re

covering from this disable
ment, he had spent some time
at the university reading his
tory and philosophy which
would later play a very im
portant part in his life.
He decided if he couldn't
fight in the air, he would
fight on the ground and later
joined the Second Battalion
the 93rd Highlanders, which
organization dated back to the
Napoleonic wars, most of the
Jock’s (G. I.’s) were Scots
men. After leaving Scotland
and England, they eventually
reached Sumatra which was a
bout to fall. He was one of a
few who attempted an escape
only to fall into the hands of
the Japanese.
He described how the pri
soners were forced to labor
on the bridge over the River
Kwai, working at bayonet
point and under bamboo lash,
and taking any risk to sabot
age the project. Dr. Gordon
gives a graphic account of his
experiences is his book “Thr
ough the Valley of the Kwai”
and summarizes it by saying,
“Our experience of life in
death had taught us that the
way to live leads through
death. To see Jesus was to
see in him that love which is
the very highest form of life,
that love which has sacrifice
as the logical end of its action.
To see this was to see that the
man who hoards up life's pow
pis only to use them for sel
fish purposes has but one end,
that of death separation from
God and others. What vre
hoard, we loose. What we con
fine, we kill. To hang: on to
life, to guard it, to preserve
it, is to end up by burying it.
Each of us must die to the
physical life of selfishness, the
life controlled by our hates,
fears, lusts, and prejudices in
order to live in the flesh the
life that is of the spirit. This
is a basic law which cannot be
broken except at great cost.”

rior was taken sick with pne

GORDON GREENWOOD
THE WARHORSES
Win or lose in their game with the
Golden Eagles of Sylva High, the 1966
Owen High School warhorses will go down
in the books as one of our best teams to
come from the Swannanoa Valley.
Coach Bill Stanley, members of his
staff, and the boys deserve a lot of credit.
And while we're on the subject, don’t
forget the faithful fans who followed the
boys through some lean years, always hop
ing for the best. Owen High deserves a
winner and they have it.
But there is still another group that
deserves credit and who had a hand in the
success of the 1965 Warhorses.
What about Ronnie Watkins, Mike
Miracle, Jimmy Bell, Jack Guthrie, Sidney
Campbell, and those other boys who play
ed on teams that didn’t win many games
but who played their hearts out. The mem
bers of the 1962, 1963, 1964 teams had an
important part in the success of the 1966
eleven and no one is prouder of the
record than are these former Warhorses
who suffered through these losing seasons.
MANY PLAYING LAST GAME
The 1965 eleven is loaded with atari.
In the backfield there would be Ron
nie Craig, halfback, who rum with the
speed of a trackman and with the power of
a water buffalo.
Danny Bridges, fleet back, who has
shown his heels to all comers this season,
Ted Luckadoo, pile driving fullback who
can run inside or out as the case demands,
and Jim Coman, crafty quarterback, who
has guided the boys through their first un
defeated season in history.
These boys will be heard from in the
years ahead on college fields.
In the line they are all stars. John
Miracle, Yogi McElrath, ends are two of
the best.
The Warhorses are loaded with brilli
ant tackles. There's Wayne Barker, Robert
Moore, and others. The center of the line
has been anchored by mighty Mike Sobol,
center, and Jerry Buckner, Jerry Bridges,
and Jim Parton at guard. No High school
in the state has a finer line.
Other boys who have shown up well
and who have contributed greatly to the
success of the 1966 Warhorses include
Bernard Holley, Fred Ivey, Lester Ballard,
Jimmy Turner, Tiger Cook, Edwin Meyer,
Graham Buckner, Bruce Harris, the place
kicking specialist, and many others.
Thii is not intended to be a complete
list because every boy from the last sub
stitute on the bench to the regulars had a
real part in this victory.
(Ed. Note: This was written for pub
lication in the Black Mountain News of
November 18 but was omitted. Since we
are just as proud of the boys now as we
would have been had they won the state
championship, it is being published without
change. (“We're from Owen and we
couldn’t be prouder
NO EXCUSES
We offer no excuses for the 12 to 9
loss to S.vlva at Canton Friday evening.
The boys played hard and well. The game
could have gone either way and this is not
taking anything away from the Eagles
They’re terrific but so are the Warhorses.
The cheerleaders and entire student
body from a small country high school met
a team which had been defeated and over
whelmed them with cheers and songs.
Called to the platform the captain pro
tested: “Maybe you haven't heard. We lost
the game.” To this the students shouted
back: “To heck with the score you’re our
team.” We repeat that now: “To heck with
the score, Warhorses, you’re our team.”
4-LANING OF U. S. 70
U. S. 70 from Black Mountain to Gud
ger’s Bridge will be 4-laned. The North
Carolina State Highway Department has
come to agreement with the Southern
Railway in regard to right-of-way. The
only thing left to be completed now will
be writing and signing the contract.
All the major obstacles have been
agreed upon between the two parties.
Last week Governor Dan K. Moore,
Joe Hunt, chairman of the State Highway
Commission, and Cameron Lee, chief engi
neer of the commiuion, said definitely and
without reservation that the road would
be 4-laned.
This time there were no ifs or buts
involved. These high officials said positive
ly that the fourth lane would be added.
As proof the highway men have al
ready started acquiring the right-of-way
on the north side of present U. S. 70 bet
ween Black Mountain and Oteen.

Greens Market
Opens Dec. 4
The annual Merry Christ
mas Market, sponsored by the
French Broad River Garden
Club, will be held Saturday,
December 4th, at the Bilt
more Country Market, 1000
Hendeisonville Road.
Fresh Greens and Christ
mas decorations, which are
made by the women of the
market, will be sold. All the
greens on sale are indigenous
of the Western North Carolina
area. Proper harvesting and
conservation of all native
greenery is stressed by the
i Market throughout the entire
year with particular emphasis
during the Christmas season
because of the greater demand
for greens at this time.
The market was begun
many years ago in order to
help the country women of
this area increase their in
comes by helping them make
and sell decorations of greens,
harvested according to con
servation methods; and to j
teach them to conserve and ;
protect native greenery so
that the supply would me
the ever-inci easing dem ;r»ti
and to protect native ] la ii.
from extinction.
On December 4th, the Ma •
ket sponsors a competition for
the market women. Judging
will be in four categories as
per schedule enclosed.
Green Light
No Guarantee
Of Safety
Col. Dave Lambert, who is
something of an authority on
traffic matters, had a word
this week for those drivers
who approach a green light
totally unprepared to stop.
“Contrary to popular im
pression a green light is no
guarantee that a driver can
proceed safely,” said the com
manding officer of the State
Highway Patrol.
“The very fact that a traf
fic signal has been installed
at an intersection is an in
dication of danger.”
Lambert urged every driver
to approach a green light with
two ideas in mind. He said
the first one should be the
idea that the signal will turn
red as he approaches it, the
second the realization that the
driver on the cross street may
disregard the red.
“Yet you need only to stand
at any busy intersection for
a short time to see both these
principles of safe driving
widely violated,” he said.
Lambert particularly sign
led out drivers who fail to
properly allow for the light
to change.
“These are the drivers who
rush up to a green light and
make a sudden stop, or else
j they run through on the cau
tion yellow light or even the
full red. The driver who has
to make a sudden stop invites
being hit from the rear. Des
pite the general concept that
the driver who hits him is
legally responsible for the
collision, the driver who made
such a sudden stop under
such conditions cannot escape
a degree of moral responsi
bility,” Lambert decmlared.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN AMERICA dates fr„
festival held by the people of the Plymouth rnu™
December 1621. Have
you ever thought about
what they were thank
ful for. They were
thankful for surviving
a hard winter. For a
good crop of corn. For
shelter that shut out
the rain. For the
chance to make a liv
ing and hnilri
^ ^ . . They had no “extras”
Just basic, bare necessities ... but they still remembered
gratitude. So often we take shelter, survival, and jobs for
granted. This Thanksgiving, let’s remember to be grateful
for the things we consider “ordinaty” as well as for the
extraordinary benefits we enjoy as inheritors of the tradi
tions begun by those early settlers.

HOW TO MAKE A KISS-PROOF TELEPHONE' That
was the problem turned over to Bell Telephone Labora
tories . . . develop a telephone that can’t be permanently
stained by lipstick and other cosmetics. It seems that the
plastic formerly used in telephones absorbed the red dves
in cosmetics, and no amount of washing could remove
them. Well, after much experimentation, the scientists
came up with an entirely new kind of plastic. One that
simply couldn’t be penetrated by cosmetic dyes. So ladies,
be as affectionate as you please while telephoning. Thanks
to Bell scientists, your phone can be kept clean with a
damp cloth and mild soap. You can look your best while
telephoning . . . and so can your phone!
* * •
YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD THE TERM “DON’T
OVER-EXTEND YOURSELF.” Don’t try to do too much
in too little time, or you’ll end up doing nothing right!
Well, that’s good advice. But we have some advice that’s
even better. Do extend yourself with extension telephones.
Extension phones help you save time because you can
reach instead of running when the phone rings! An ex
tension in the kitchen lets mom talk to neighbors while
she cooks. An extension in the den gives dad a place for
private business calls. And, of course, every teenager needs
a phone of his own to make those very personal calls to
the girlfriend. So remember, you can extend yourself...
with extension phones. They come in several styles and
colors. So why not call the Asheville Business Of
fice about extension phones for your home, now?
