Swannanoa Valley Needs A Medical Center Now One of these nice Spring days, drive around your Swannanoa Valley, and make a mental note of what is offered in the way of Public Services. (Try to ignore, if possible, those ugly automobile grave-yards that mar the beauty of the Swannan oa Valley.) Compare this part of the country with other places that you know. Here you will find gorgeous mountains, an excel lent golf course, fine new bank buildings, new, modern Librar ies,new entireties and a number of new and modernized college and church assembly buildings. But-what has been done in the past 25 years to help keep and to attract additional needed Doctors and Dentists to the Swannanoa Valley? Do we have a Modern Medical Center-or even one that isn’t so modern? You know the answer, even if you have not required one of the many Med ical Services most of us will need at one time or another. Right now-a campaign is being conducted.By those who care-to start a modern Swannanoa Valley Medical Center, somewhere between Swannanoa Center and Black Mountain Center. Up to now-only a few of the numerous Service Clubs, Churches, Mens’ and Womens’ Clubs, Church Organizations, and Associations, or groups from Business and Manufact uring Plants have come for ward to lend a hand in help ing to obtain something they themselves need. However—7 '! Rotary Club, The Kiwanis Club, THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS, The Swan nanoa Woman’sClub,TheSwan nanoa Valley Art League, The Black Mountain First Baptist Church, The Black Mountain A-P Personnel, The Mills Chapel Baptist Church, The Key City Pharmacy, The Monte Vista Hotel and many individ uals have offered assistance. Names of the organized groups who really care will be added to the above list each week. Remember-The Adult Membership is only $1.00. That small amount of money will only buy 2 ice cream sodas or perhaps, 3 packs of Cigar ettes—BUT—added to many others, it can help build a modern Medical Center that may preserve the health or life of members of your family and friends—and perhaps even your OWN. Individuals who are not con tacted, may join the Swannanoa Valley Medical Center Boosters by sending their $1.00 or more to that association, Monte Vista Hotel, Black Mountain, N. C., 28711.

C. W. Solomon and his son, David, who returned recently from a 15 day tour of the Holy Land, Athens, Corinth, and Rome. They have some 400 colored slides and many pictures they took and acquired while on this trip. They will pick some of the most interesting of these, and show them next Sunday evening. These scenes not only show the interesting places men tioned in the Bible, but bring us up to date in what is happening today. Mr. Solomon says pro phecy is very interesting, but to see it fulfilled under ones eyes now, is most thrilling! For example to see the mighty for tress of Mosado that Herod the Great built on top of the moun tain overlooking the Dead Sea, which has been excavated and partially restored, and was cap tured by 960 Jewish Zealots in 70 A. D. and held out against 10,000 Roman soldiers for 3 years; then finally choosing mass suicide rather than slav ery to the Romans. Then what really brings it up to date is that every Jewish girl had to take 20 months training in the army, and every Jewish boy 3 years, and one of the requirements is to take a treak up to this For tress and take a vow; to fight to the death in defending their country, and never give up.
