Last week James Love. Wil!
Goure, Mary Ann Myers, and
Becky Loftis went before the
Buncombe County Selection
Committee at Wachovia Bank*
in Asheville, for further in
terviews for the Morehead
Scholarship competition. The
school will be notified soon as
to who will advance to further
competition. Good luck to
these students.
Students from Buncombe
County and other surrounding
counties had a two-day
vacation last week due to the
damaging floods that hit
Western North Carolina that
weekend. While Buncombe
County resumed regular
school hours on Wednesday,
other counties, such as
Yancey, are still unable to
operate. High waters
damaged many homes and
washed out many bridges
making traffic impassable.
Mr. Sapp' s math class,
"Maintaining a Small
Business! went to the Pizza
Hut on Patton Avenue where
they participated in a
program to learn operation
procedures and the duties that
are carried on there. The 40
students were abte to observe
how computerized cash
registers worked. In the
opinion of the students, the
most rewarding part of the
whoie trip was devouring 24
iarge pizzas. As Mr. Sapp
commented, "It was quite a
teaming experience.'
The DECA Club, under the
supervision of Ms. Franklin,
went to the District Eight
Leadership Conference on
November 7. Out of the eight
students that went, two
participated as contestants.
Kevin Creasman talked on the
Job Interview and Susan
Swann competed in the "Miss
DECA' contest. Various ac
tivities included workshops,
election of officers, and a
dance. Three hundred and
fiftv students attended the
conference from Western
North Carotina Ms. Franklin
feeis that it was a very
productive weekend and that
the students learned a lot.
Marc Buhrmaster has been
selected Rotary Club student
of the month for November.
Marc is a good student and one
of Owen's most outstanding
soccer players.
Flood stories poignant
by Roger Whitener
The recent floods in western
North Carolina will no doubt
result in many weather tales
to be recounted over the years
by mountain story tellers.
Certainly this was the case
with the great flood of ' 40
which still provides con
versation and stories for those
who remember this disaster.
Time has lightened the
memories, however, and often
the humorous side comes to
the fore.
Valle Crucis resident Sue
Murry telis the story of a
Banner Elk grist mill operator
who did a thriving business
grinding turns of com for folks
up and down the mountain.
The mill itself was anchored
to several huge rocks in a
stream some fifty yards from
the miller's cabin. Its major
feature was its huge wooden
wheei, representing hours and
hours of labor in its
fashioning.
Thus in the time of heavy
rains, the Miller spent a

What does it mean? Who

What is it selling?
Briefly, the announcement
is a t31!,000 investment by
private enterprise and state
government in a unique
campaign designed to
stimulate the spirit - and the
economy - of North Carolina.
The idea began with
Chapel Hill broadcaster Jim
Heavner:
"For years, many of us have
had a feeling that the country
was suffering from a national
malaise - a feeling that things
just weren't as good as they
used to be, that opportunities
were not as abundant, that
people were not as proud of
themselves and their ac
complishments as they might
have been at another time or
place in history.'
Heavner, president of the
North Carolina Association of
Broadcasters, approached the
state's Division of Travel and
Tourism with a proposal: if
the state would produce a
series of public service spots
the NCAB would contribute
POO,000 in free air time in a
broad puMic service campaign
throughout the state,
loilars a year to promote out
of-state visitation,'said state
travel director Wiiiiam Ar
nold, "and it's bringing in
more than a billion dollars
annually. But we felt perhaps
we've been neglecting the at
home market. A iot of North
Caroiinians vacation in other
states.
"We dicided that if the
public service campaign was
produced by first-rate talent,
and contained a soiid tourism
approach that could help stop
the ioss of North Carolina
doiiars to Virginia, South
Carolina, and elsewhere, it
would be worth while.'
Chuck Blore, who created
the "Big Mac Attack' com
mercials for McDonald's
Restaurants, was brought
from Los Angeles to work on
the project.

Arnold said. "The nine dif

produced three months later
show a decided, if subtle, at
home tourism message.'
Arnold said the spots cost
(17,900. None of it came from
the state's (1 million travel
advertising budget. "We
insisted our main program to
promote out-of-state tourism
to North Carolina would in no
way be compromised by the
in-state campaign,'he said.
All costs came from
operational and promotional
funds.
"If they work,'Arnold said,
"the spots will make North
Carolinians more curious
about and aware of their own
mountains and beaches and
scenery and recreational
opportunities.'
North Carolinians last year

and tourism related activities
in their own state.
considerable amount of time
calculating the effect of rising
waters on his prized creation.
When the forties flood
struck, the owner watched
anxiously to see whether his
business would be swept
away.
His worst fears were
realized when the churning
waters swept a huge chestnut
log into Hie water wheel,
breaking it into thousand
splintered pieces.
Heavy rains continued to
fall, the creek waters in
creased their velocity, and
threatened the rest of the mill.
At this, the miller, not
known to be especially
religious, fell to his knees and
began to pray.
"Oh, Lord, here's Old Bill
Flagg a'talkin'to ye. Have
pity on me, Lord, and don't let
my mill be washed away.
Hear me this one time, Lord,
and 1 will seldom if ever call
upon Thee again. I will not be
like Preacher Loop at the
Mission, eternally dingdonin'
at Thee. I know that Thou dist
promise S.T. Paul that never
again wouldst Thou let the
earth be covered with water,
but h'it is lookin' might
scrupulous.'
About this time a huge rush
of water descended on the
mill, lifted it from its an
chorage, and sent it careening
down the stream.
Out of the comer of his eyes,
Bill witnessed the destruction.
Without interrupting his
prayer, he changed plea to
commentary:
"Now, by God, Thou hast
eternally played Hell with me
and mine!'
