THURSDAY. APRIL 18. 1985
Local interest develops overj
the circumstance of Miss Ruby j
Hodges having been crowned]
queen of the Spring Blossom
Festival at Southern Pines. And
while The Democrat felicitates
the young lady on the distinction
which comes to her, it would
insist that it is Boone, and not
Southern Pines as was reported.1
which has provided the comely j
Queen of the Blossoms.
THERE IS YET HOPE
District Engineer James 11.
Councill tells The Democrat that
he is still harboring a hope that
something in the way of a permanent
improvement may come
to the Laurel Crock road within i
a reasonable length u? time. Mr.
Councill's hope is bolstered by!
the fact that North Carolina is to
get something like nineteen mil-1
lions of dollars in money for such j
purposes out of the Work Relief j
Bill, but until construction mon-j
ey is actually made available, lie)
stales that only the usual main
teiiaiice wOi k can be expected..
In fact, due to the unusually;
rainy spring, even this work has
had to be largely suspended, and
as a result sections of the roadj
arc now almost impassible. Mr. j
Coimciil will put the highway]
back into its usual condition as
fast as weather permits, but he
has impressed the fact upon the
division engineer that something
must be done in the way of betterment
on this road in the near
future. If he finds it impossible
to get the project included in
the construction program, he
purposes to use his influence in
every way possible to get funds
with which to make the present
grade a passable thoroughfare in
any usual sort of weather.
CLEAN-UP NEEDED
'['he high winds of the first of
the week brought forcibly to the
attention of local residents just
how dirty and trashy the town
has become. Packing cases, light
boards, paper, and every conceivable
sor t of r ubbish was tossed
hither and yon by the gusts of
Tuesday, and merchants of the
town had extreme difficulty in
many cases in keeping the en
trances 10 tneir shops ciear of
the debris. And while the weather
of the past few weeks has not
been conducive to a clean-up period.
there is scant excuse for
such a condition to exist. The
burden of a clean city is not a
responsibility of the government
so much as one upon every individual
property owner. Just why
rubbish in such volume is cast
down to clutter up an otherwise
ideal little town, remains one of
the civic mysteries. To say the
least, such individual thoughtlessness
constitutes the most unfavorable
sort of advertising for
a community which has tourist
possibilities. When the annual
clean-up takes place, there
should be a common purpose to
keep Boone clean?and it will be
spotless if each citizen looks after
his own premises.
FULL UP
Boone has had more visitors
this winter and spring than at
any other like period of the year
in its history. Only recently a
stranger was forced to look for
accommodation in a private
home, when he had found all
hotels and boarding houses
crowded. There are no vacant
houses, and last week a gentle
man pleaded almost in despera-]
tion for the arrangement of an]
apartment in a printers' domi-|
cile. Kxactiy what has broughtj
about this condition is not apparent.
but it's a condition just!
the same, and one which will become
decidedly more critical
with the usual population increase
during the hot months.
Some civic-minded group could
render a great service by constructing
some houses in town,
and the investment would yield
a handsome return. Under pres-j

ST. PAUL.
In the list of names voted for in
this scries, the very highest name
*4~t tVmt of Tpwis was Saint
hguil. Practically every ballot was
[ marked for him, as well it might have
| been.
Paul was born in Tarsus, a univcr|
sitown in Asia Minor near the
! northeast corner of the Medtterra!
nean. He knew something of classic
literature and philosophy, but whe|
ther he attended the local college we
[do not know. He was sent by his parents.
who were Jews of fho strictest
; sect of the Pharisees, to be trained j
[ by the famous teacher of the Phari- |
i sees, Gamaliel.
| We first meet him at the stoning'
of Stephen when he is "a young man j
named Saul." We last see him in prison,
"Paul the aged," waiting for the
sword of Nero. Unconquered by his j
imprisonment and peril, lie towered :
triumphant over circumstances in the
| assurance that he had fought a good
fight and kept the faith and finished
I his course.
His conversion must have followed
j within a few months after the ston- J
|ing of Stephen. That ardent young:
i friend of the Gentile element in the |
infant church left a greater success- j
or than he could possibly have sus
peeled in one of the men who voted j
for his execution.
He was "not disobedient to the hea. I
venly vision," says the story of his j
conversion. Starting to preach in a!
preliminary way at Damascus, he j

Almost by inadvcrtaucc he reveals j

that first visit to the capital city,

have been a heartbreaking disillus- j

stayed only in Jerusalem it would
hardly have survived beyond the lives
I of the men who saw it start.
Paul made three notable missionary
journeys beyond the borders of
Palestine He was arrested in Jerusalem
in April, 56, at the time of the
Passover, that being his fifth visit
to the city since his conversion a
quarter of a century before. For two
years he was in prison in Caesarea
(Acts 24:27), was nearly half a year
on his way to Rome, being shipwrecked,
and two years in prison in
reiative comfort at Rome. Afterward
there was apparently a release followed
by another and fatal imprisonment.

PEPTIC CICER?TREATMENT
We do not operate for peptic ulcer
until all manner of medical and dietary
care has failed. My letter has
nothing to do with operative measures
in this disease
This from experience of many
years:
First?SOFT DIET. I care not what
it is, just so it is soft. Jt must be
something without tough skins, seeds, ,
grisliea, haru fibers, shelis of grain,
and the like. An ulcer cannot?will
not heal if rubbed over by hulls of
grain, lumps of celery1 radish, of hard
meu jiiim or steaKS. If you don't observe
this rule, there is no use in my
giving you any other.
As a rule so-called digestive medicines
are effort wasted in ulcer. Your
stomach may be all right, except at
the point of ulceration. Your promlem
is to soothe the ulcer while itj
heals. T do not give tablets, capsules i
or pills if my patient has ulcer. Nothing
hard or solid.
Food Is improved by CGOKINGtough
fibers are broken down?and
the nutritive value not lost by cooking.
I recommend the cooking of milk
and of milk products. "Evaporated
milk" is more likely to be acceptable
than raw milk; it is sterile, and. is
less likely to form indigestible curds
as does untreated milk?and is fully
as nutritious. Often evaporated milk
agrees when raw milk cannot be given
without distress. Cream is useful.
Ice cream useful, but ice-cold should
not enter the stomach. Melt it in Ihe
mouth.
To actually treat the ulcer, T resort
to heroic doses of BISMUTH. It is
insoluble, hence an ideal coating for
ixn uicer. lmrty-grain doses are not I
! too much?of the subnitrate. I usualjly
combine it with a gentle, mineral
| astringent?and a pain-reliever if
I needed. And, T have cured many uli
cers?lakes from one to three months.
