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.
