BLARNEY
By A Brady CUM J. F.
Even after "growing up" with
?mr three-year-old boy (and that
Vcvi prepare you for an awful lot)
H I'm still amazed at the unvarnlsh
Beu candor of children.
A few mornings back, at the
ridiculous hour of 6, I had the
most eerie feeling as I slept; a
feeling that I was being watched.
I managed somehow to raise

(and It took super-human effort
at that hour) an exploratory eye
lid and pierce the gloom of the
bedroom with a bloodshot orb.
I was right. I was being watch
ed.
Standing there In the half-light
of dawn was the above mentioned
three-year-old boy, a look of ln
tenseness on his cherub face as
he studied my time-etched coun
tenance.
Seeing my half opened eye, he
addressed me thusly:
"Daddy, guess what I've named
It."
"It" proved to be a stuffed ani
mal of some type. He shoved it
toward me.
I resigned myself to this intel
lectual challenge.
"What," I asked sleepily, "have
you named it?"
"I call it 'Spinach,' " he dis
closed.
"Why," I said, rising to the
occasion with what I considered
noble patience, "in the name of
common sense did you name it
?Spinach'?"
"Because I don't have one
named that," came the frank re
ply from the cherub in pajamas.

Ashe County was the state-wide
winner In the 1955 County of the
Year In Rural Progress contest.
So, without further ado, we'll
put on our braggln' cap and de
clare that It took a little bit of
Macon County to help do the job.
That "little bit" of Macon Coun
ty is in the person of A. B. Add
ington. the farm agent in Ashe .
and chairman of the county's
Farm, Home, and Community De
velopment Council. He's the son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Addington,
who certainly need no further
identification around here.
As the wheelhorse of his coun
ty's active rural program, Mr.
Addington turned off the honor
with characteristic modesty.
"... Whatever our accomplish
ments are, they are due to cooper
ation all f long the line ? among
leaders and families in all com
munities and the ready response
of all agricultural workers ser
ving Ashe's rural areas."
