The Black Mountain - Swannanoa Kiwanis meets every Thursday noon at the Monte Vista Hotel. Telephone Talk MAN ON THE MOON began as an impossible dream that grew more possible with the advance of science. And now, with the phenomenal flight of Apollo 8, that dream looks not Just possible, but virtually certain. __ It all started with satel lite communications— man’s first step into outer space. Telstar I and Tel- | star II, the Bell System’s experimental space-borne relay stations for telephone / and television, were the first (/ communications satellites x; ever launched by the United States. To the American space effort, Bell Telephone Laboratories has con tributed the transistor, tiniest and sturdiest electronic amplifier ever developed; the solar battery, an es sential source of power; and a number of less familiar devices. Someday very soon, man will walk on the surface of earth’s natural satellite—thanks to the space pro gram that was launched with the first man-made satellite. And, from there, the sky seems to have no limit. The Bell System is proud to play a continuing part in the continuing progress of mankind. TINY HANDS can sometimes cause big telephone problems. Children have been known accidentally to aiai me rigm sequence ana reach out-of-town num bers—which makes for headaches, when Daddy gets the phone bill. Obvi ously, you can’t watch a child every minute; but a little telephone training can prevent a lot of con fusion.

I refer particularly to the at tention you have paid to the N. C. Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center, the nursing home and retirement complex, the ’nod ical center, and tne new build ing going on at Ridgecrest. I always look forward to the day on which the NEWS appears in my mail box. I am sure that most of our citizens share my appreciation for what you axe doing for our town. Cordially,and gratefully yours, Frank Howard Richardson M.D. Dear Editor: Several people have asked me about the writings and papers of my father, the late James Peele Parker, long-time resident and church and civic leader of Black Mountain in his time. Mr. Par ker died last May when almost 93 years of age and was quite active until a few weeks before his death. He was an avid supporter of the Black Moun tain Library, having served as chairman of its board for some time in the past. However, there at present seems to be a dearth of interest there in things truly local. Friends of the late Mr. James Peele Parker will be interested to know that Guilford College, Greensboro, N. C., invited the family to turn his writings and papers over to the Library there, and this is being done Miss Mvra Champion of tack Memorial Library in Asheville will receive copies of those she does not already have on file. Rev. Eugene Byrd will receive the historical data of this area collected by Mr. Parker. Mos of the volumes in his personal library not retained by his daughters have been given to friends or other members the family. Yours very truly, Elizabeth G. p^ The first steel foundry Pittsburgh, established in jg( supplied cannon, howitzers 3 shells to Commodore per and General Andrew Jac^ during the War of lfilfc. j THE BLACK MOUNTAIN Him Published Each Thursday at Black Mountain, N.
