Former Student Captures European Tour In Contest From The Asheville Citizen If Miss Penny Waring of Hen- dersonville seems to be walking on clouds these days, there's plenty of reason. She is planning a June wedding to Steve Ledbetter, also of Hendersonville, and has just learned that she has won grand prize in a contest which provides a month's tour of Europe, with all expenses paid — for two. How's that for honeymoon arrangements? Dr. A. K. Hinds, dean of Western Carolina College received a letter from Lanvin Perfumes, Inc., whose company sponsored the contest in the December issue of Seventeen magazine, stating the company thought he would like the privilege of telling her of her success. It happened that Penny had not re-enrolled at Western Carolina for the spring term, since she wanted to prepare for her wedding. After telephoning here, yonder, and about in Henderson County for most of the afternoon Dean Hinds fit! located Penny to tell of her good fortune, and now she's trying to make herself believe it. Penny, 19, is the daughter of Mrs. George Taylor of Hendersonville and Earl Waring of Panama, and is a graduate of Hendersonville High School. She attended Canal Zone Junior College as a freshman, the University of Miami as a sophomore, and last fall enrolled as a junior at WCC to major in English and psychology. Her plans were altered somewhat when she became engaged to Steve, who is a WCC senior majoring in chemistry and mathematics. He has been awarded a grant for graduate study at Florida State University for next which is another l 'enny did not return to WCC this spring. She will transfer to Florida State to complete her d irk. In writing to Dean Hinds, Mr. E. L. Cournand, president of Lanvin said: "Since this contest was actually an exercise in imagination of analysis, and not the ordinary type of contest which calls for a low degree of skill, Miss Waring's award may also be of some Interest to you as an educator." It is indeed, of interest to the Dean, to Penny's teachers, and to all her friends. THE TOWN HOUSE OPEN 7:30 A.M. — 11 P.M. Monday through Saturday SUNDAY — 1 P.M. -11 P. M.

Most Poor Drivers Are Under 25 Young drivers in 1962 had the worst performance record of any age group, according to a report by The Travelers Insurance Companies. The report, issued annually :l)31 except during th I by The ran Information provided by state motor vehu A Traevlers spokesman pointed out that drivers under 2j B only about IS pet cent of all licensed drivers in the United States. Yet, he said, these young people are involved in nearly 29 per C all fatal accidents. In 1961, this age group participated in 27.3 per cent of all highway deaths. The Travelers report shows that young men and women in this age group also were involved in a great number of non-fatal highway mishaps. In 1962, they were implicated in 27.3 per cent of all non-fatal traffic accidents as against 23.3 per cent in 1961. On the brighter side, the best relative improvement in 1962 was made by drivers 65 and over. This group was involved in only 6 per cent of all fatal accidents compared with 7.2 per cent the previous year. The largest age group—including drivers from 25 through 64 — also improved its performance record in 1962.

There, is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has. the more he wants. —Benjamin Franklin. Some of the mere puppets of the horu are playing only for money, and at a fearful stake. —Mary Baker Eddy. Frank Selke, managing director of the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League said that injured defenseman Lou Fontinato will never play hockey again. In a television interview between periods of a semifinal playoff game between Chicago and Detroit, Selke said: "He, Foninato, will never play hockey again." Then, in a remark addressed to Fontinato: "If you're watching the Canadiens' organization "will take care of you." I cannot afford to waste my time making money. — Louis Agassiz. Campus Policeman "Carl" Cautions, Praises Students "Hold it please, watch the cars," the friendly voice of Carl, the campus cop, instructs the students as they venture their various ways. Carl Hopkins, an essential figure at W.C.C. has been around the campus for almost seven years. He was recently endowed with the title "Chief Security <-r." THE YANKEE CLIPPER will take 50 adventurers around the world next year. Londluhhing Collegiafes To Attempt World Cruise Students from colleges all over the country will take their studies to sea next year. A coed group of adventurers, including undergraduates, graduate students, and instructors, will circumnavigate the globe aboard the 190-foot schooner Yankee Clipper. The beautiful, air-conditioned ship, formerly owned by millionaire George Vander- bilt, has been modified to provide quarters for 50 passengers. Yankee Clipper will depart Miami in January, 1964, on the 12-month, 50,000 mile expedition to offbeat islands and colorful ports of the South Seas, East Indies, Indian Ocean, and the tropical Atlantic. About 35 landfalls will be made and more than a dozen foreign countries visited on the unique, share-the-ex- pense voyage now being organized by Capt. Mike Burke of Miami, owner and operator of Windjammer Cruises, whose famous brigantine YANKEE recently completed her fifth round-the-world cruise. The expedition's ports-of-call will include remote Easter Island, whose great stone heads have confounded explorers and archaeologists for centuries . . . historic Pitcairn, where the descendants of the BOUNTY'S mutineers still live . . . incredible Galapagos, where Darwin, noting the strange animal life, developed the bask for his theory of evolution . . . incomparable Tahiti, with its lush natural beauties and lusty female beauties . . . mysterious Bali, with its aura of the Orient . . . sleepy Zanzibar, spice island off Africa, where an inland safari will be arranged for interested passenger . . . and dozens of other exciting spots where cruise ships never call. Capt. Burke's Windjammer Fleet is the largest of its kind and has carried over 12,000 passengers during the past decade. Five of his ships — Polynesia, Tondeleyo, Cutty Sark, Mandalay and Caribee — are used for 10- day cruises in the Caribbean and Bahamas, while the others are employed on extended ocean voyages. "This round-the-world expedition Is my real love," Burke said. "We're following a tradition set by YANKEE'S former owner, Commander Irving Johnson, and we'll keep it going as long as there are people with adventure in their hearts and a bit of salt water in their veins." Capt. Burke added that Yankee Clipper will carry a crew of professional seamen, but all passengers who wish may stand wheel watches and learn to tend a sheet and splice a line. Classes in marlinespike seamanship and navigation will be held, and the ship's library will be well stocked with volumes on nautical lore as well as books about countries and islands to be visited. The ship's complement will include a marine scientist and a historian who will gi\»e informal lectures illustrated by slides and movies. A physician will also be aboard. "This is strictly a joint-venture," Burke emphasized, "with each passenger paying a share of the expenses. The actual cost will come to only about $12 a day, which will include all meals and other ordinary shipboard expenses. "As space permits, we'll accept applications for various segments of the cruise as well as for the entire voyage. That way, we pick up new faces and new blood from time to time throughout the year, which makes things more interesting for all concerned."

Before coming to Western Carolina, Carl was employed by the Sheriff's Department. He is a veteran of World War II and was stationed in Okinawa for 38 months. He has worked as a bulldozer operator in Washington State, and has also been employed by Boeing Aircraft in Seattle.

I can truthfully say the students this year are the best we've had in the seven years that I have been with Western Carolina College: I feel that the students themselves can do more in making W.C.C. a better place to live and work. The students them selves make the school and create its' reputation. A small per cent of the students do things that make the whole campus suffer. This minority should not be permitted or even given the chance to do these things." Carl is also the owner and operator of the new, modern Gulf station in Cullowhee.

On Campus with M&§hulman (Author of "I Was a Teen-age Dwarf," "The Many Loves ofDobie GiUis," etc.) HOW TO SEE EUROPE FOR ONLY $300 A DAY: NO. 2 Last week we discussed England, the first stop on the tour of Europe that every American college student is going to make this summer. Today we will take up your neat stop—France, or the Pearl of the Pacific, as it is generally called. To get from England to France, one greases one's body and swims the English Channel. Similarly, to get from France to Spain, one greases one's body and slides down the Pyrenees. And, of course, to get from France to Switzerland, one greases one's body and wriggles through the Simplon Tunnel. Thus, as you can see, the most important single item to take to Europe is a valise full of grease. No, I am wrong. The most important thing to take to Europe is a valise full of Marlboro Cigarettes—or at least as many as V Produced gMuss b fyvct the customs regulations will allow. And if by chance you should run out of Marlboros in Europe, do not despair. That familiar red and white Marlboro package is as omnipresent in Europe as it is in all fifty of the United States. And it is the same superb cigarette you find at home—the same pure white filter, the same zestful, mellow blend of tobaccos preceding the filter. This gem of the tobacconist's art, this prodigy of eigarette engineering, was achieved by Marlboro's well-known research team—Fred Softpack and Walter Fliptop—and I, for one, am grateful. But I digress. We were speaking of France—or the Serpent of the Nile, as it is popularly termed. Let us first briefly sum up the history of France. The nation was discovered in 1066 by Madame Guillotine. There followed a series of costly wars with Schleswig-Holstein, the Cleveland Indians, and Jean Jacques Rousseau. Stability finally came to this troubled land with the coronation of Marshal Foch, who married Lorraine Alsace and had three children: Flopsy, Mopey, and Charlemagne. This later became known as the Petit Trianon. Marshal Foch—or the Boy Orator of the Platte, as he was affectionately called—was succeeded by Napoleon, who introduced shortness to France. Until Napoleon the French were the tallest nation in Europe. After Napoleon most Frenchmen were able to walk comfortably under card tables. This later became known as the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Napoleon, after his defeat by Credit Mobilier, was exiled to Elba, where he made the famous statement, "Able was I ere I saw Elba." This sentence reads the same whether you spell it forward or backward. You can also spell Marlboro backward— Oroblram. Do not, however, try to smoke Marlboro backward because that undoes all the pleasure of the finest cigarette made. After Napoleon's death the French people fell into a great fit of melancholy, known as the Louisiana Purchase. For over a century everyone sat around moping and refusing his food. This torpor was not lifted until Eiffel built his famous tower, which made everybody giggle so hard that today France is the gayest country in Europe. Each night the colorful natives gather at sidewalk cafes and shout "Oo-la-la!" as Maurice Chevalier promenades down the Champs Elysees swinging his malacca cane. Then, tired but happy, everyone goes to the Louvre for bowls of onion soup. The principal industry of France is cashing travellers checks. Well sir, I guess that's all you need to know about France. Next week we will visit the Land of .the Midnight Sun—Spain. e 19«3 Mu Sbilua * * * Next week, every iceek, the best cigarette you can buy the whole world over is filter-tipped Marlboros—soft pack or Flip-Top box—you get a lot to like.
