XYZ Club Tours Via Slides SLIDE TALK ON SCANDINAVIA ► 3. Gordon Byron gave a talk on Scandinavia last week to the XYZ Club. His presentation, illustrated by professional quality slides from a trip made by Mr. and Mrs. Byron in IMS, was nicely balanced between views of What one usually expects to see, cities and countryside, and slides of subjects of particular artistic and literary * interest. So one learned the historical, symbolic and literary interest of objects as ' diverse as the Oseberg Ship and Vigeland Park in Oslo, Medieval Architecture in Bergen, Skanson Park in Stockholm and Odense on Fuhen. It is not easy to make a thesis for the importance of Scandinavian painting, sculpture and architecture, but Mr. Byron out of affection for Norway, Sweden and Denmark made the most of what they have done. On the more conventional side of the talk one also saw fine views of cities and landscapes in all of the countries. The slides of the jvNorwegian fjords with their ^glacier and mountains were . |very beautiful, particularly L *'the pictures of the most k magnificent of all fjords, ■ Sognefjord. ■ The members of the Club W were completely absorbed by Mr. Byron’s talk and are most grateful to him.

MYERS SPEAKS In an informal talk lightened with just enough humor to make its points seem somewhat less grim, the Rev. Horwood Myers urged his listeners to consider how essentially temporal and transient their lives were. He indicated that there was a need to be prepared to leave it gracefully and that a more than casual effort might be needed. Though Rev. Myers may not have realized it he could probably not have spoken to a group better prepared spiritually or one more co-operative about leaving, when they are ready. If there was a slight mote in the talk it may have been the persistent reminder of how mortal we are. However salntory this thought may be, it occurs without much prompting to people in their 70s. Members of the XYZ Club always give a warm welcome to Rev. Myers. He has proved in many ways that be is willing to do ; more than talk about helping Senior Citizens. For over a year he made the United Methodist Church available to them as a meeting place. Rev. Myers believes a Pastor’s mission is to the whole person, a concept which is a compliment to him and one which should be more commonly practised for it could only strengthen the Christian Community.

Head The Classified Ads Chamber Chatter By ED WEBER Rotary Felloe Mrs. Joyce Kinnison, Director of Cooperative Education at Mon treat-Anderson College, was honor guest and speaker at Black Mountain Rotary on June IS. Recently she was honored by membership on the editorial Board of “The Cooperative Education Journal.” The program coordinates a student's choice of. career with employment in the job while being enrolled a: a college student It also means choice of classroom work that will better prepare the person for that fckind pf work. Most often, the student is in full employment for. at least four months and then returns to college classes. In a few cases, part-time employment can be arranged during the time of academic studies and thus requires careful planning of class schedules. Citing a number of student experiences at Montreat-Anderson, Mrs. Kinnison observed that some youth are confirmed in their choice of career plans, while a few discover that the actual job is not a happy choice of life direction. In the latter case, the problem is discovered early enough to make better plans before a college education is completed. Cooperative Education students, a survey snowed, average a two-to-one improvement in both attitude and grade* received (as compared with other college students). These students also have a much easier experience in obtaining good Jobs after graduation. Although the idea has been used extensively by schools of engineering as a requisite to graduation, it was Antioch College (in Ohio) that began to try thfsame idea fora liberal arts college program. The results were so encouraging, that some 900 schools now have a Cooperative Education program. The plan was given its special impetus in the 50's during the time of student unrest, when many were asking, “What can a college education do to help me get a job?” Employers throughout the Southeast now cooperate with Montreat-Anderson in the program. The student keeps a journal of the employment experience and the employer writes an evaluation after the student returns to college. All this then becomes a part of the academic record of the student. These first several years of Cooperative Education have been made passible by special funding from the U.S. Office of Education. It is to explore the possibilities of the program in Liberal Arts Colleges. Eight visiting Rotarians joined members for the luncheon meeting. The Black Mountain Rotary Club meets every Tuesday for lunch at 12 o’clock noon in the dining room of Highland Farms Retirement Center. Visiting Rotarians and their guests will find many signs to Highland Farms, which is immediately north of Old Highway Seventy, about a mile west of Black Mountain, opposite the Swannanoa Valley Medical Center.

When doing exterior painting, we’re usually eight or ten feet or higher on the ladder with our gallon of paint and painting toola before we think about being accompanied by one or more peaky bees or wasps. Usuall" we suffer through the entire job with them, sometimes acquiring a few painful stings in the process. I found out a long time ago that it pays to have one of the hornet and wasp bombs along that spray six or eight feet, and I certainly recommend it to every one of my exterior paint customers. Another way not to get stung is to buy only the Best Quality Exterior Paints, such as American Acrylic House Paint. It will last two or three times longer than the lower priced paints, and naturally it will save you one or two bouts with the stinging insects. Let us help you with all of your paint projects.
