Mr. Moore started out with the
highway department. This was
with the construction crew men
tioned above that built the first
hard-surfaced road in Yancey,
now US 19. from Asheville to
Burnsville. In July of the same
year, he transferred from con
struction to the equipment de
partment in Biltmore. In the fall
of that year he took over the job
of field mechanic in the extreme
western part of the state. He
covered the six western counties
as field mechanic until 1930, when
the state took over the county
roads and he was transferred to
Macon.
In July, 1953, he returned to
Yancey as district mechanic fore
man for the second district just
in time to see the completion of
a new US 19 to replace the one
he had worked on in 1925
Born July 15, 1891, Mr. Moore
is the son of Charles M. and j
Hettie Taylor Moore He was edu
cated in the county schools and
was married May 17, 1916, to Miss
Anna Jean Barnard in Franklin
He is a member of the Masonic
Order, O.E.S.

LIFER - ARTIST PAINTS 200th CHRIST
SMILE ? The "Old-timer," an inmate-artist
at Florida's Kaiford Prison whose impressions
of a "Smiling Chris^" are sought by churches
throughout the Christian world, completed his
200th painting last week. It will be presented
to a revival group by the mayor of Phenix
City, Alabama. "I took my first drink in
Phenix City," the old artist explained, "and in
time I became an acute 'alcoholic right there.
My family shurined me in Columbus. Georgia,
right across the ri*er from Phenix City, and
In time I hit bottom. Now that the Sin City
is cleaned up, I'd feel proud to paint them a
dozen Smiling Christ portraits to replace the i
old gambling-saloon siens."
The old artist, serving life as an habitual
criminal after his fourth felony conviction
(buying liquor with worthless checks), has
continuously painted Smiling Christ portraits
since the night, Ave years ago. he dreamed
the Lord smiled at him. He gives them with
out cost to churches and religious groups
requesting them. He prefers to remain anony
mous on account of his children.
In the above photo, L.. F. Chapman, warden
of Raiford Prison, watches the Old-timer put
finishing touches on two "Smile" paintings,
one for Phenix City, the other for Lillian
Ku.h who vioiied the artist some time ago.

eyed peas, and soy beans can b?
stored in the same manner.
Late Cabbage ? There are sev
eral methods of storing this crop
but perhaps the simplest is to
cover with soil. Pull entire plant
out by the roots, place head down
and cover with soil. Provide good
drainage around the mound of
dirt.
Onions ? The onions must be
sound, mature and thoroughly
dry. Baskets, crates or loosely
woven bags may be used for stor
ing. Store in a dry, well ventilated
place such as an attic or unheated
room.
Pumpkins and Squashes ? Well
matured pumpkins and squashes
may be kept in dry, well venti
lated cellars or in the basement
of the house near the furnace.
Baskets or hampers may be used
but single layers on shelves Is
best. Late maturing varieties, to be
kept for long periods of time,
should be held at a temperature
of about 60 degrees F.
Tomatoes ? Your tomato season
can be extended about a month
by properly handling the fruits.
One method is to pull the entire
plant out by the roots and hang
in a basement or some other lo
cation, where the temperature will
not go below 55 degrees F. You
must, of course, do ,this before
frost occurs in the fall.
Another method is to store the

SPECIALIST
HAS PLACE,
BUT
men, intelligent men, men who
are exceedingly well informed a
long their own lines ? showed
marked indifference to the truth
that had been dug up in other
lines of investigation; revealed
himself on the defensive, when
questions were aimed at him; and,
in many cases, was obviously less
than honest when he dodged
questions outright, or attempted
to answer them with facts and
figures really not pertinent.
The fellow in the most defen
sive mood, naturally, was the man
who talked on education; becausc
nothing is being so criticized to
day as our educational system. He
took the position that the best
defense is a vigorous offense; and
so one of his first suggestions was
that a 1 1 these people who are
criticizing the schools either don't
know what they are talking about
or are. 'soap-box fanatics". He
simply ignored the facfc^fRfct some
cf the bi|gest men in education
are among its severest critics.
Someone cited figures to the
effect that the United States to
day is spending more money for
schools, per capita, than any
nation in the world ever has. and
asked, in view of that, wasn't it
possible that the trouble lies not
so much in the amount of money
being spent as in the schools
themselves. His answer was that
the money being spent for defense
had gone up even faster!
And the man who discussed
agriculture took the tack so
many agricultural economists
seem to be taking today, that sub
sidies are morally wrong, and that,
therefore, we ought to let the
farmer sink or swim without
government aid.
But can you subsidize nearly
everything else and expect the
farmer to continue in business?
he was asked.
Two wrongs don't make a right,
was his far from satisfying an
sewer.
Let supply and demand run
their course, he continued, and
the really good farmers will sur
vive; the others will be driven
into other employment ? they
aren't good enough to be worth
saving as farmers,
Well, suppose you drive the in- 1
competent, ingnorant farmer to
the cities' industries? Won't he
still be incompetent and Ignorant [
there? And won't he end up by
helping extend the slums, and
thus be worse off than before?
And won't the new social prob
lem be bigger than the old one?
Faced with that group of ques
tions. he changed the subject!
Then there was the labor repre
sentative. a big shot in the labor
movement; a man who evidently
had wide contacts.
His defense was impenetrable.
His attitude toward every un
pleasant fact was that anything
management does is evil and based
on ulterior motives, whereas labor,
though it may occasionally make
mistakes, invariably does what It
does from the purest of motives.
What can you say to a fellow
like that? You can tell him. of
course, that there are good and
bad people in every movement, in
every group. But you are wasting
your breath, because he just
doesn't believe it. He couldn't
believe it without finding himself
in doubt about his whole philoso
phy and position. And so he re
fuses to even consider such a
thing as being in the realm of
possiblity.
I learned a lot of valuable facts
from these specialists: they made
me do some thinking. I am grate
ful to them for it.
But I came back home amazed
that, in a so-called scientific age.
so many of us take an attitude
that is anything but scientflc.
I came back, too, with a re
newed determination to listen
carefully to what the specialist
says ? and then to question his
ever statement, and reach my own
conclusion.
