Jr. Women Club by Dot Aycock Are we to be satisfied with slack, dirty, slow-moving water filled with sandbars or clear, algae free, usable water? The choice is ours. Betty Church, a member of the League of Women Voters water quality task force and Don Yelton, Water Quality Management Specialist for the Land of the Sky Regional Council, discussed citizen participation with the Black Mountain Junior Womank Club at their October 11 meeting held at the SAW cafeteria. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 produced a comprehensive approach to water quality management problems. Section 208 stresses planning by local govern ments, including citizen in volvement. Participating in an education effort to increase citizen involvement, Mrs. Church showed a slide program of the French Broad River, From being a docile servant of the region sup plying water and beauty, the River degenerated to an ugly, polluted eyesore unsuitable for fish and wildlife. Mank trash was visible frequently and eroded banks filled the River with mud. SPECIAL Sept. 15 * Oct. 15 UPHOLSTERY CLEANED SOFA *29.95 CHAIR *13.95 Cleaned by dry foam extraction methnid.

Mrs. Church added. October 9-15 was designated as French Broad River Awareness Week to celebrate the Riverk resources and potential. In a few years, there will be even more to celebrate, she predicted. Mr. Yelton discussed the Land of the Sky Regional Council as the lead local organization designated for 208 Water Quality Management planning for Buncombe, Madison, Hen derson and Transylvannia counties. He stated the goal is to achieve the water quality necessary to provide for propagation of fish and wildlife and provide for recreation as well as an adequate water supply. In an continued effort to encourage conservation, the Club plans another clear glass pick-up on Friday evening, October 21. A truck will be parked in the Bank of Asheville parking lot to receive your glass from 5:30 7:00. It is not necessary to remove labels. Aluminum will also be collected. However tin cans are not being collected for recycling at this time. The next meeting will be held at the home of Sandy Lunsford. Officers for 1978 will be elected. Happy Hearts Club by Eunice Seaborn "An okra plant eight feet high, I can’t believe it!’ That was one of the in teresting things discovered by the ones who went to in vestigate the surrounding area. The day was glorious and so many lovely fall plants and flowers were on display. Those who stayed inside did many physical fitness exer cises. Needless to say, when the food was on the table it disappeared rapidly. Exer cise and fresh air are both a tonic. The Rev. Lucy Norton brought the attention of all to the Book of Ephesians, especially chapters two and three. Paul wrote to the believers in Ephesus that everything could be done in and through Christ. He wrote to the believers of that time and to those who would ever believe on Jesus Christ. He advised that the whole armour of God could prevent the Devil from getting inside. This is a very timely subject for the present. The game of bingo was a lot of fun one day. It is in teresting to find out what is wrapped in those mystery packages. Several crafts were worked on, pine cone wreaths, baskets, macrame handbags, plant holders and those oldtime dolls are finally getting dressed. Everyone is looking forward to all the fun things that will be done next week. Some of those who went afar on trips are back and those who were sick are getting better. Their return is anxiously awaited.

Opportunities for Pilot Clubs to render service include: community service, education, world service, patriotic activities, and safety projects.

I Avon I Dory Morris Your'Area Representative Black Mountain _669-9489 Sourwood Update ^ by Perry Stone Orders for small sourwoods are being solicited this month and next by public spirited volunteers for delivery December 2 and 3, the com munity tree project com mittee announced today. As nurseries and garden centers in the county do not offer sourwoods the com mittee will obtain a large supply from a native plant nursery in an adjoining county and make them available to the public at the lowest possible cost. Balled and burlapped, pruned transplants and bare root trees ranging in price from $4 each down to $1.25 and in size from 5-6’down to 2-4; may be ordered. .- m Fortunately, before the sourwood was adopted last fall as the official community tree the area was already blessed with numerous examples of this lovely native ornamental species. Since the long range project of blanketing and beautifying the town and its environs with sourwoods, 700 more speciments have been distributed and planted. A good start has been made. Many more citizens now know and admire the sourwood. Many more yards are now adorned with sourwoods. Several institutions have improved their landscaping with sourwoods. A number of specimens have been set out on public property. But the goal of making sourwoods the BUT111 1 .. communities mark 0f distinction and getting Black Mountain to become known as “The City of Sourwoods’is far from being reached Cooperation on the pan of all citizens and civic im. provement clubs and other organizations is earnestly sought. Readers who expect to order sourwood trees for fall planting are asked to see the Black Mountain News for advice on choosing ap propriate sites for the new trees.
