Our Readers Speak Depot Now Available For Township Following is an excerpt from a letter which I received today: “Please refer to ex changes of correspondence between you and Messrs. Claytor and Hall (last year) concerning possible utilization of our depot building at Black Mountain by the Swannanoa Valley Art League and Citizen’s Interest Steering Committee. We now have permission from the North Carolina Utilities Commission to permanently discontinue Black Mountain as an agency station, thereby making the building available. Kindly advise if your organizations are still interested in this building on one of the following alternatives: 1. Southern Railway to donate the building and the organizations remove it en tirely from our right-of-way. 2. Building to remain in place and leased to the organizations at an annual rental to be agreed upon subject to execution of standard agreement, stipulating, among other items, adequate insurance coverage and installation of protective fence. We will hold this matter in abeyance until further advice is received from you. Very truly yours, W. L. Hofmann, Superintendent, Southern Railway System, Asheville, N.C. 28803.” I will be home if all goes well on March 16 and hope to get this marvelous opportunity moving for Black Mountain. In the meantime, if you will publish this letter, the people involved in both mentioned organizations, including Mrs. Robert Moss, president of the Art League and Hugo Thompson, head of the Citizens Interest movement, will be apprised of this won derful new development. I especially hope that anyone interested in helping us with this project will write to me (to my Black Mountain address) or phone me after March 16. Thank you for printing this letter in yourpaper, and with kind personal regards, Belle Mordell Siesta Inn Roberts Point Rd. Sarasota, Fla. 33581 AND NOW FOR THE WEEKEND NEWS.

(S) Southern Bell *»#********** - ■ - Swannanoa Valley's Outstanding Scouts Are Honored Tt.e three outstanding Swannanoa Valley Boy Scouts of the Year were recently honored at a dinner and award presentation by the Swan nanoa Lion’s Club. These boys are chosen by points earned for special performance in such areas as attendance at meetings, good deportment, rank advancement, merit badges, church attendance, and camping trips. Scoutmaster Frank Hoilman said he had an especially fine troop this year and “all the boys were en couraged to work.” Marty Wright was nnmed the Number One Scout of the Year; Neil Hoilman Number Two Scout of the Year, and Harold Staton Number Three Scout of the Year. Marty is a patrol leader, Neil is Scribe of the troop, and Harold an Eagle Scout, is Junior Assistant Scout Master. All three scouts won medals for Stone Mountain, an uphill hike of about four miles. Harold is a member of the Brotherhood of the Order of the Arrow and Marty and Neil have both been nominated for membership. The Order of the Arrow is an organization for honor campers who have achieved the rank of First Class Scout and have com pleted fifteen days and nights of camping. To become a member a rigorous initiation must be passed, the exact ordeals of which are kept secret, but include a weekend camping trip where absolute silence must be maintained. Lion President W. W. Com presented the awards. He expressed a special interest in the Scouts since he was once Scoutmaster of local Troop 28. The guest speaker was Mr. A1 Lane, the District Boy Scout Program Director, a professional Scout for over twenty years. Scouting is for fun, he said, but also it strives for three important goals; good citizenship, character development, and personal and physical fitness. Troop 28 is sponsored by the Swannanoa United Methodist Church. Guthrie Promoted To Advertising Manager The promotion of Jack H.

Instead, it agreed to keep the current regulations relating to assets and ordered a six-month study of the assets problem, which affects elderly couples who own their own homes or have other assets. Current regulations allow cashable assets of $1,500 for one person or $2,250 for families of more than one person. The committee had hoped to complete- its proposals for overhaul of the $5.4 billion a year food stamp program Thursday, but bogged down over the definition of income. It plans to meet again on Monday. Meanwhile, Sens. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., and George McGovern, D-S.D., introduced legislation to replace the current welfare and food stamp programs with a new system with a guaranteed income for every American family.
