ON HOLY GBOUND "And he said, Draw not nigh hither; pat off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place whereon thon standest is holy groud." Exodus 3:5 "If you could choose, in which age would you like to have been born?" This is a subject that teach ers used to request of their class es in history. Those were the days when many of us were learning a bout knights and damsels in dis tress, of pioneers building settle ments in the wilderness, of heroes carving niches in the Hall of Fame, or, of science projected into the future. Young People dream dreams. It is surprising how few of us ever chose the present when we we wrote those essays. Life has always been like that. Look at Moses, the patriarch of Israel. He stooc one day, tending sheep on the hills of Midian. He was a fugitive from justice with the blood of an Egyptian taskmaster on his hands. Perhaps he, too, was dreamingof past or future years; how he'd like to live then. With Abraham or Jacob, or later when the Promise to Abraham was fulfilled in history. Then God showed Moses what to do with those dreams! A bush caught fire, and Moses went to see; a voice spoke from the midst; "Put off thy shoes from thy feet; for the place whereon thou standest is Holy Ground". Thus a pilgrim's staff and a stammering tongue led a nation of slaves into freedom. We constantly dream of other placet, other times, other things. But today, the place where we are standing is Holy Ground. Holy Ground is wherever you might chance to be. This is God's World. He made it with all its peo ple. And there's work to do. If you think you have a useless task, as Moses did, take off your shoes. You may be on Holy Ground. If, then, you can cause others to see the things you were able to experience when God spoke to you, your life will not be called meaningless and worthless. ' It is mindful of the dull, listless stone cutter who was asked while clipping on his piece of marble, "What are you doing?" and he re plied, "I'm making a living". But another, singing while he bus ily applied himself to a rough hewn rock, replied to the identical question, "I'm building a cathe dral". Life is meaningless when you are in the middle of it. But when you have given your life to something bigger because you see the Holy Ground on which you are standing, then it takes on a zest and mean ing. Even in the midst of suffering and adversaties, bushes are aflame with God. But only he who sees takes off his shoes. You don't like hardships? But the mighty men of God have so lived through the ages. You would rather have a life of ease and comfort .... but mil lions of people have no such life. This is Holy Ground. The Earth is the Lord's! There is work to do. Let's take off our shoes. You will find as Harry Fosdick said, "This is a great time to be alive!" she's learned a lesson, too... $ays: ?fiicnticirr ? . . *??? fc?jr ??? iirtmgf murphy ELECTRIC ^ POWER BOARD .w( 100 ADDITIONAL WORKERS IN AN AREA INCOME/ *270,000 IN NEW 37 BANK DEPOSITS/ -v* 107 MORE f*SSENSER CARS/ FOUR NEW RETAIL STORES/ AND $360/000 in ADDITIONAL RETAIL SALES/ (FMUftES WtOM VONeRMSIONAL RECORD") (tollman's Views Editor's Note: ? This is the seven teenth in a series of articles by Heinz R o 1 1 m a n, industrialist, Waynesville, N. C. By HEINZ ROLLMAN That this world has to undergo vast changes, I believe is some thing that no one will question. When people in other lands didn't know how people somewhere else lived, that was one thing. But to day, when every human being on earth can know within seconds what happens in any other place, to compare their life with others, when today people have a chance when today people can be influen ced either from Moscow or from Washington one way or another, then it becomes really necessary iu uu auiucituu^. Over h a 1 f of the world's pop ulation is right on the r a z o r 's edge, ready to fall either to one s i d e or to the other side; ready > the communist traps, with their hollow promises, or to ease over from the edge slow ly and carefully into the arms of Americanism. Naturally, it is much harder for people to ease themselv es slowly into our arms, into the arms of Americanism, and the arms of religion and the Bible, for we don't make any vast promises or untrue statements. However, don't forget, desperate people very, very often don't want to be real istic; don't want to be reasonable; they want to be told something that will sound good to them. If, on nothing else, they want to get drunk on promises, and at least taste the excitement of a change is a trap and that they may GARDEN TIME By M. E. GARDNER N. C. State College Perhaps you are ready to de velop a landscape, plan for a new home or to modify your present plan. In either case there are cer tain basic principles which may be followed that will give a pleasing effect when the job is completed. Good design is based on the intel ligent use of lines, colors, textures and forms. Since the space you have is a major consideration in developing your landscape setting, the lot may be divided into three general areas: public; private; and service. The public area is what the pass ers by see when they drive by your home. In this area the most important single feature is the lawn. Soneome has said that "The lawn is the canvas on which we create our landscape picture," and is probably the most expensive part of that landscape develop wind up on the gallows. That is why we have to fight to 'sell' Amer icanism to the rest of the world now. No effort can be too great; no effort can be soon enough. We can prove,, after all, what Amer icansim has accomplished, and we can show what communism has de stroyed. If we would not have any thing to show for the labor of the last 170 years, that would be a dif ferent story, but we have more to show in better places. We have better wares to offer than any salesman has ever been able to do. We certainly can, if we want to bad enough, make Americanism as attractive to the rest of the world as it would be to us to buy a new car without down payment ? a new car that would be worth $3, 000.00 and would be sold to us for $499.95.

Two other features should be considered in this public area: the foundation planting, and perman ent trees. The purpose of the foun dation planting is to blend the house into the lot. Here many architectural lines can be softened by using suitable jilants . It is fre quently over-done and the effect is not pleasing. Trees should be se lected with great care because they serve to frame the landscape picture. This is true whether they are placed in front, to the side or for background effect. The size when mature, and form should be considered. Do not over-plant the yard with trees. Remember that sunlight may be just as welcome as shade. The private, or family living area, should provide privacy. Here simplicity and ease of mainten ance are especially important Screening type shrubs should be used. This will also be the picnic area where the family can spend many pleasant hours together. The service area should border the service entrance to the house and should be confined to as little space as possible. Such things as garbage disposal, clothesline, trash burner, garden equipment storage and compost pile should be in this location. The plantings should be simple and consist largely of screen plantings to hide unsightly objects. spend nvviI day> u pmti at Mn. S. D. Akin. Mr. and Mn.

In addition to this protection, qjir bank has a capital account and reserves of over one-half million dollars. , The money you deposit in the Cltisens Bank & Trust Co. helps to build, our section, for a part of your deposit is used to make helpful constructive loans; to Individuals, businessmen, industry and farmers in Southwestern North Carolina. This is why Bank 8avlngs are better than Savings at the Past "Office. ? Sincerely, t W. FRANK FORSYTH , , . \ Executive Vice President ' \
