It’s dangerous to drive unth one hand; many a man has run into a ehurch that way. Erect Office For Dr. Ralph Baker Soon By The Way By Doris Armfield For the eight months I’ve been in the reporting business I’ve had hearings involving a little of everything, from cell ulose acetate flakes to textile mill machinery. I keep think ing that someday I’ll get a sample of the product of the Company, about which the hearing is held, manufactures . . . like maybe a pair of ny lon hose, or a dress, or even an ice cream cone when we have a hearing involving a dairy. Well, the other day I got a sample, but I don’t quite know what to do with it. I traveled way up the hills of North Carolina to Spruce Pine last Friday—and by the way, that is beautiful country, right along the Blue Ridge Parkway—and the Company we were holding the hearing about turned out to be a mica processing plant. And now I have a sample of mica. It is mined extensively around the Spruce Pine area in North Carolina, and is used for any number of varied things, but its principal fea ture is that it is practically non-inflammable, and is used for insulating purposes, in stoves and irons and the like. I am told that it is also used in paint and enamel, and there must be at least a thou sand other uses for it. As it comes from the mines, usually in the center of a large rock, it looks just like isinglass— in fact, it IS isinglass. But I don’t have any use for either mica or isinglass, so I guess I’ll just keep my sample on display in the office. I also came away from Spruce Pine with a sample of feltspar, which I am told is used prim arily for making porcelain; and a gamet-in-the-rough. I’m sor ry to report that it has too many flaws to be cut into a stone. The way I happened to come across all this was that one of the lawyers in the case, Mr. John C. McBee, Sr., had a hob by of collecting stones of var ious kinds and offered to show us his collection. Judging from the qquantity of his collection, I believe his real hobby is being a lawyer and that his real work is collecting. He had a room just crammed with about everything imaginable— even to uranium and pitch blende. I was rather exited about that—the piece of urani um I held must have weighed about five ounces — until he said that it would take about five tons of the stuff that I held in my hand to make one tiny bit of U-235 or whatever it is that is used in atomic Construction will begin in a few weeks on an office build ing on Hunt Street to be oc cupied by Dr. Ralph Baker upon his return to Newberry to take up the practice of sur gery. The lot is just off Mayer bombs. Almost all of his collection came from within a thirty-five mile radius, of which Spruce Pine is the geographical cen ter. He informed us that the greatest number of different minerals in the greatest quan tities were found within that thirty-five mile radius than coukl be found anywhere in the world. It seems that there are deposits of minerals for some 150 miles, starting in Vir ginia, continuing along the con tour of the Blue Ridge through North Carolina and into Geor gia, and the heaviest concen tration is just around Spruce Pine. We saw talc, which is a greenish looking rock but turns out snow white when it it ground; aquamarines of all sizes in “barrels” just as they come out of the rocks in which they form. A “barrel” is a perfect six sided, long stone, with each side perfectly smooth. We saw flint and crystallized flint—and even petrified oys ters, which were found way down under the earth’s surface, hundreds of miles from the ocean. One of the most amazing things in the collection was a piece of petrified wood f which came from Texas, not North Carolina). It was a glassy looking slab and in the center was what Mr. McBee called a “spirit level.” It looked ex actly like the level carpenters use. except that in the place of mercury the “level” was the sap of the tree. And Mr. Mc Bee insists that it is just as accurate as any level ever man ufactured. While a few clients patiently waited, Mr. MJcBee also pointed out some relics he had collected some years ago while in the Orient. We didn’t have time to stay and see everything— really we just had a look at a minute portion there, but •onsidering his clients and our long ride back from Spruce Pine, we had to leave. Before I left, however, Mr. McBee promised to “take a day off’ if I ever got up that way again to show me everything in his collection. And next time I’ll have a pencil and paper along, and not try to rely on my memory to tell you of all the interesting things there. avenue, behind the home of George Addy and next to the W. S. Lominick home on Hunt facing the hospital. The building will be of brick and will be 60 feet wide and 85 feet in depth. It will sit on a lot 100 x 100. Dr. Baker has been taking special training since coming out of the army and though mcny tempting offers have come to him to locate else where he preferred to return to his home town to live and work.
