Expressions of shock were heard

So the sad boy who could play
a violin like a genius but would
never pursue music as a career,
who liked the violence of contact
athletics and who chose the lonely
life of a soldier, has left this
earthly sphere, beaten and appar
ently buried alive.
LIBRARY NOTES
Through the holidays we sp- ,
some mighty fine hours rear.: ;
some of the new books, whi. .
have been acquired recently j.
the library. We particularly
commend “Miracle Of The Hill-
in which LeGette Blythe has don;
a very fine piece of work in por
traying the struggles that were
endured and the obstacles that
were overcome by Dr. Mary Mar
tin Sloop and her husband in es
tablishing the school at Crossnore.
in the North Carolina hills.
The school stands today as a
living monument to these two and
many others who aided them in
establishing the school and com
munity about it. The book is writ
ten in intere.sting style, especially
after the first few pages, and it
is recommended as an entertain
ing and lively combination of bi
ography and autobiography.
Bill Polk’s ‘ Southern Accent’
is also lively reading, and anyone
can enjoy his humorous stories
and benefit by his authentic state
ments about the South.
The library display table shows
two other recent books that should
be good, since they were award
books in 1953. They are ‘‘The
Finer Things Of Life” by Frances
Gray Patton and “Abel Anders,”
poetic novel by Frank Borden
Hanes.
