Supporting the MH below the
committee was Blowing Rock's
Mayor, R B. Hardin, who spoke
for the need of added revenues
fcf the retort, whose summer
population mushroom* from
500 to 5,00#. This, he said,
makes it difficult for the town

alWays defeated the*. "The
people of Wataaga Cowity 4a
nat want a liquor store In their
ctfnnty, and they lure let it be
kaown" . . he said.
He recalled that the county
voted on legaiHng the sale of
b*er and wine 12 yfeaft ago and
defeated it by almost IX to 1.
"Ours is a Bible Belt county, a
very conservative county," he

even if I were the wettest wet,
I would still have to say my
pOople don't want this."

In Memoriam
IN nCMOKT OF
BAUtt M l HOBGES
I would not grieve too mych.
The promise tells
That reit u hii who sleeps so
sweetly tHere;
Beyond the dull, slow tolling of
the bells
Which mark* her passing, life
is free from care.
You would not mourn if one you
lovo should riae
To wear the royal purple and
the crown.
Should gain the glory of the
j, J great wiae
And put the tools of humble
service down.
Suppose that life should call
some friend you know
Out of the ranks, and end his
days of eare.
You would rejoice and smile to
see him go.
Though you remained to work
and struggle there.
Should high promotion call
some friead away
To crown with cosquest sA
his earthly years.
You would not plead and beg
with him to stay,
But, thinking of his joy, you'd
hide your tears.
So when death comes, though
hard it seems to bear .j
And long the years with all
their loaelineu,
The loved one has been called
away from care
- To high promo tioa, rest a*d
happiness.
He has been called from pain
and hurt and strife.
From all the ills which fell to
flesh and elay,
He has been raised unto an
ampler life,
Nor should we mourn too
much who still must stay.
? Edgar A. Guest
The Weather
By E. H. SIMS
What role do the sua's ultra
violet rays play in molding the
earth's weather?
Ultraviolet rays from the sun
are short wave rays which,
curiously, tend to heat the
earth's equatorial zone mere
thaa the polar zones, for ex
ample. This has a great effect
on the winds which circle the
earth, as can readily be seen ?
heat being a producer of wind
and cloud.
Generally speaking, when the
sun's ultraviolet rays are more
numerous than usual, the great
er area of the United States is
due for stronger west - east
weather movements and wetter
weather.
Fewer ultraviolet rays from
the sun mesn wanner and drier
weather for most of the country.
