Center Boosters On that first day, we formed the Swannanoa Valley Medical Center Boosters - - and started the ball rolling. We started a membership campaign and de cided to hold a Fair, which we did. Today, we have one important phase remaining in our original Booster plans - - a Christmas Sale of new, hand - made articles, including gifts, dec orations, candy and baked goods. Announcement will be made of the date and place of sale sometime in September. Soon after we organized the “Boosters” all other organ ized clubs and organizations were invited to join, with one rule - - all to act as ONE in this Booster project. Those who attended the first Black Mountain meeting held on January 10 were: Dr. Gaines Cook, Dr. Limbert, M.E. Head, Rev. Ferrell, Joe Bullock, Thad Burnett, Roy Royston, Brooks Reid, Harry Hyder, Frank Fos ter, Clifford Scott and Ernest DeWick. Now that the Fair is over, we are having a “re-hash” meeting at the Monte Vista Hotel on July 28, at 7:30 P.M. We will have 80 color slides of the Fair and we ask all who care to attend to write down their suggestions and con structive criticisms so that we may study the views of all who will help us in this way. We realize that there are maiiv ways in which we can improve a 1970 Fair, if one is to be held. Please forgive any mistakes in this copy, for while I am typing it, my nineteen year- old cat - - Tinker - - is sitting in my portable typewriter cover, happily swatting the kevs every now and then. Will we see you on Monday night at the Monte Vista Hotel at 7:30 P.M. ° Refreshments will be served, so bring along a little loose change, for a col lection will be taken to pay for that delicious “eatin’ stuff” served by Marvlin Phillips. HEAD START A Parents Meeting was held Thursday evening, July 19, at 7 o’clock. This was a fashion show with the children modeling "back-to-school” clothes from Sears in Asheville. This pro gram was under the direction of Mr. Lominac - Co-ordinator of Parent Involvement for Head Start. Approximately seventy parents and children attended. Mr. Edwin McDevitt, Co-or dinator for the whole Head Start Program in this area was also present at this Parents Meet ing. We feel that Head Start is one of the most beneficial pro grams to come to our commu nity. The children are receiving exceptional training and the homes and our community will be the benefactors. HORSE SHOW The Black Mountain show is an annual event sponsored by the P. T. A. , and all proceeds after expenses, are donated to the Black Mountain Schools. The Show Committee extends a cordial welcome to all summer visitors to attend this show, and enjoy performances not ordinarily seen in other type shows, as well as the beautiful mountain setting of Monte Vista Farm. Food and drinks will be a vailable on the show grounds. Ample parking and seating space is another advantage at the Monte Vista show ground. It is hoped that large num bers will avail themselves of this opportunity to witness beautiful, well trained animals, and excellent horsemanship.

It's hard to imagine anything costing less than it used to. But it's a fact—the unit price of the electricity you use in your home is about half what it was in 1938. That means every penny spent for electric service goes twice as far. For example, 30 years ago three cents kept a 100-watt light bulb burning for ten hours. Today, these three cents keep it glowing for twenty hours. So whenever you put electricity to work, you're joining the fight on inflation. Cost of * Carolina Power & Light Company Robert Leh and Connie Evans rehearse iu* * <u«way Playhouse production of THE MISER, the hilarious comedy to be presented July 23, 24, 25, 26 at 8:30 P.M. in Burns ville, North Carolina. Parkway Playhouse The third production at the Parkway Playhouse will be the hilarious French farce, THE MISER. Although the show is hundreds of years old, it is still one of the funniest plays in the history of the theatre. Of recent New York revival, Clive Barnes of the New York Times said, “One of the great comedies of the Western Civ ilization - go see it.” In the great tradition of Western culture, money and marriage are the overwhelming concerns of our civilization, and it is fit and proper that a sev enteenth century Frenchman had the first definitive say on the subject. These concerns are at the heart of THE MISER. Appearing in this production will be many actors who have appeared in other Playhouse productions and also some ac tors making their Parkway de but. Included in the cast are Valerie Nainan, Nelson Allison, Connie Evans, Rober Leh, Rob ert Waldron, James Oher, Marta Schley, Norman Waller stein, and Tom Bates. The play is fun. It is the archetypal generations gap comedy of three children tied to a parent enslaved by his pursuit of money. It is a happy look at the generation gap and is very relevant today. The show will be also enhanced by beautiful costumes and ele gant sets. The Parkway Playhouse is located in Burnsville, North Carolina. The production will run Wednesday, July 23, through Saturday evening, July 26th, at 8:30 P.M. For phone res ervations and information call 682-3231. MEDICAL CENTER INC.
