Scott Reviews Kiwanis Aims Cliff Scott, new president of the Black Mountain Swannanoa Kiwanis Club, presented the program at the first meeting of the new year Thursday, Oct. 8, at noon, in the Monte Vista Hotel. Scott said each administrative year Kiwanis International selects a theme, several objectives, and one or two major emphasis programs. Combined with the six constitutional objects of Kiwanis, these provide the focus and guidelines for Kiwanis service during the administrative year, he said. For 1970-1971, there are three objectives, he pointed out: Garden Division Of Woman's Club To Meet Monday The Rhododendron Garden division of the Black Mountain Woman’s Club will hold its October meeting on Monday, Oct. 19, at 1C a.m. at the home of Mrs. Glenn Bryan, 122 Church St. Mrs. Dinsmore Crawford u ill be co-hostess.

Scott again emphasized the local club would use as its main project this year, community wise, the immediate development of the Medical Center. Secretary Joe Bullock pointed out the need for committee chairmen to file accurate and complete reports each month. James Bartholomew, chairman of the Pancake Jamboree, gave tickets to each member and told them to get out and sell them for this is their major money making project.

Touches Many Topics Graham Stops At Home For Press Conference By JIM AYCOCK A busy Billy Graham stopped off in the Swannanoa Valley on Tuesday for a press conference at home and touched on many subjects, and toes, along the way. Speaking before TV cameras and microphones set up at Radio Station WFGW, Mon treat’s world famous evangelist commented on pornography and obscenity, bussing of school children, campus unrest, federal aid to parochial schools, and his own family’s security problems. He also released details of his busy schedule in coming weeks, including the fact that he will be the first clergyman ever to serve as Grand Marshall in the Tournament of Roses (Rose Bowl) Parade on New Year’s Day. Briefly, Graham’s comments can be summed up as follows: — The President’s Commission on Pornography and Obscenity has released the “worst and most diabolical” report ever issued by a specially drawn up commission and fact finding group. No Christian can support the findings of this two-year, two-million dollar effort. An “underworld conspiracy” is behind the pornography business, run by dirt merchants who are dedicated to human degradation. Statistics from Denmark, now open to pornography sales, are at best deceiving and at worst completely false when they are used to indicate a recent drop in sex., crirpes there. He (Graham) hopes states and cities will be given authority to enforce local obscenity laws. —Revolt would occur if children in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City and Boston were bussed around those cities under the same standards as those enforced in Charlotte. “I am proud of the way the south has obeyed these laws,” Graham said. He advocates retention of neighborhood schools. —Graham said he agrees with most of the findings of the President’s Commission on Campus Unrest. He warned that a Utopia (of peace) cannot be expected. We must distinguish between dissent, which is acceptable behavior, and violence, which is not acceptable. He feels that the commission’s report did not place enough emphasis on that point. He does not agree, he said, with the conclusion that the Vietnam War is the chief cause of dissent and violence. President Nixon cannot remove causes of dissent, nobody can, he added. The Southern Baptist Assn, should consider setting up a massive system of parochial schools and apply for federal aid if such financial help is approved, Graham said. Many parochial schools will close without it, he added. These schools must be integrated, he continued, their implied purpose being to return spiritual values to education, and not to achieve segregation. Graham said he and his wife will spend this weekend at the LBJ ranch in Texas visiting the ex-president. He begins a major crusade next week at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, similar to the recently completed campaign in Tennessee. Other plans for upcoming .weeks include dedication of the Mendel Rivers Library in Charleston, S. C.. 18 major addresses in Lurope and activities at Plymouth, Mass, in connection with the 350th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower, lunch at Monte Carlo with Prince Ranier and Princess Grace, and the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. “I am glad to have this chance to speak before press representatives in my own home community,” he said, “It is not often enough that 1 do that.” The Montreat celebrity, for that is what he is, pointed out that his position as a public figure had caused his family some problems. Security has been tightened and his travel arrangements more carefully concealed. As late as last week, he said, police had arrested two persons attempting to get to him. He said one had made a bomb threat, and was found to be emotionally disturbed. The man’s family had called Graham, he said, to thank him for the way the matter had been handled. The evangelist did not comment on the second man he said had been arrested. Annual Kiwanis Event Pancake Supper On October 30 By JAMES C. BARTHOLOMEW The fall season of activities in the Swannanoa Valley will be ushered in with the annual Pancake Jamboree sponsored by the Black Mountain Swannanoa Kiwanis Club. The date is Friday, Oct. 30, in the Owen High School cafeteria, between the hours of 5-8 p.m. There will be plenty of pancakes for all who come, served with butter and syrup to suit the taste. Well seasoned sausage, coffee and milk will be available to make the meal complete. The pancakes will be preapred by members of the Kiwanis Club who have become expert “chefs” after several years of Jamboree experience. This annual pancake supper is regarded as a most worthy community enterprise. Not only does it provide opportunity to take the whole family and guests out for an evening meal at low cost, but the proceeds are used to help support the year round organized youth activities of the Swannanoa Valley, the Youth Center, plus gifts of registered heifers to members of 4 H Club. A good attendance is expected at this year’s Jamboree. Persons who come may get all they can eat for the following prices; adults and youth SI each, children under 10 years 50c each. Kiwanis Club members are selling tickets in advance. Persons unable to purchase tickets in advance may pay as they enter the cafeteria at Owen High School. Now is the time to reserve the evening of Friday, Oct. 30, for members of families to have an evening meal and to take part in the festive occasion where you will meet your neighbors and friends, all happy to unite in 4 v/arthy cause designed for the betterment of our youngsters. A football game will follow, the last home game of the season, against North Buncombe. Dwarfs Gather At Travel Eze Mr. and Mrs. Dan Turner were hosts at a meeting of the Little People of America on Oct. 9, 10 and 11 in Black Mountain. The Little People made the Travel Eze Motel their base of operations while here. On Saturday Mrs. Katherine Smith, coordinator for Dr. V. McKusicky of Johns Hopkins Hospital, who does research in all types of dwarfism, conducted an examination and survey in the measurement of bone structure of the Little People at the Turner home. These Little People are doing all they can to help science understand why they are dwarfs. A banquet was held at the Travel Eze Restaurant Saturday evening, followed by a dance at the Black Mountain Club House. A number of local people were invited to the dance. Mayor Richard Stone extended a welcome to the Little People on behalf of the Town of Black Mountain. The Little People come from We re Sorry It's Left Out The Black Mountain News apologizes to local churches and sponsors of the church listings page for not running their space this week. • Production problems indicate that next week’s paper will have to be 10 pages, unusually krge for this time of year, so the News ran only six pages this week. This made it possible for us to hold out some items for use next week that would have been used this week if we published eight pages. In order to get all this week’s news and retail advertising in only six pages it was necessary to omit the church listings, which do not change from week to week. all the southeastern states. Turner said they were very impressed with the area although rainy weather curtailed some of their planned activities. Their national convention is planned for Atlanta next year. Turner will leave Oct. 18 for Boston University Hospital where he and a number of other people who are dwarfs will participate for one week in a research study conducted by Dr. Tom Marimee.

He asked the trustees to seek direct gifts from churches and individuals to Warren Wilson to offset loss of support from the board. The trustees set up an endowment committee With James A. Edgar of New York City as chairman. The goal of this committee will be to increase Warren Wilson’s endowment to a minimum of $5 million over the next five years.
