MORE ABOUT
Tommy Norris
(Continued (tm Page I)
everyone has that same desire to
worsnip in some way, but 1 didn't
do anything about it, and in (act
didn t go to church at all for seven
' years alter 1 broke my neck. was
then just last year wben 1 did go,
that my real regeneration began.''
Wiietner you believe as Tommy
does or not, his many iriends can
not help ieeling that here is one
person, and a very young one, who
is controlling his physical well be
ing through his belief. A strapping
6 foot, 2 inch high school boy when
his accident .occurred. Tommy
weighed 140 and then dropped to
80 pounds during his many years
as a paralytic. Then in 1950, some
of the motor nerves and muscles
in his legs were suddenly regener
ated, and since that time through
slieer faith, will and effort, Tom
my has built his weight to 140
pounds and has regained the par
tial use of his hands and back
muscles.
His infirmities have allowed a lot
of time for thinking. And Tommy
has put much of that time to use
by inventing gadgets and mechan
ical aids to make life simpler for
himself and those around him.
Blessed with a mechanical aptitude,
he has invented a large bookcase
which can be swung out over his
bed. It contains not only his books,
telephone, stationary, electric raz
or, and radio, but serves also as
desk and control board for these
many gadgets. There is a panel
above the radio with switches for
his electrical appliances?not only
lights, but an intercommunication
system with the main house from
his cottage in the rear, soldering
iron, electric saw and drill.
Theese manual tools are used
largely at the moment to build a
contraption which will be motor
driven and on which his wheel
chair can be placed. Main purpose
is for short trips around town, es
pecially his almost daily trips to
the church's Youth Center on East
Street and to prayer meetings.
Tommy is very active in the
Youth Center and has helped or
ganize many of its activities. He ex
plains that it is non-denominational
and offers shuffleboard, ping pong,
skating, darts and movies (on their
16 mm. projector) to the youth of
Waynesville. Next year they hope
to expand to basketball, horseshoe
and badminton.
Books are of course a large part
of Tommy's life, and especially the
Bible which he studies very care
fully. "I read mostly to retain and
meditate," he says. Since his school
work was interrupted, he has tak
en a correspondence course in
architectural drawing, but confes-'
ses to having let that go somewhat
lately. You see I was pleasantly
interrupted by becoming a Chris
tian."
Tommy says that he has no
qualms about speaking in front of
people any more. And here again
he attributes his confidence to
faith. He tells of speaking contests
in grade school days when he al
ways camc ,ln ]ast Then fln>lly in
high school he was competing In
the most important contest of the
year. He prayed to the Lord to help
him do his best, and was literally
bowled over, to the extent of fall
ing off the chair on the stage, when
it was announced that he had won
second place. Today he is often
selected to lead his church's cot
tage or prayer meetings and he
has been teaching a Sunday School
young peaple's class for a year
now.
In speaking of his own faith and
his faith in the future. Tommy
said "When you're wrapped up in
the world, it's hard to let go. But
with the right guidance I have
learned that the Christian type of
life I read about even as a child
in the Bible can be a reality."

woodlots of from two to fifty
acres, Keener declared that the
farm agent is the key man upon
whom the farmer depends for ad
vice concerning woodlot manage
mnt as well as other agricultural
problems.
The courses at Camp Hope are
designed to enable the farm agents
to absorb information on planting,
growing, thinning ad protection of
woodlots which can be passed on
to their farmers.
The speakers will include J. Ray
Orr and Lewis Herron, conserva
tion foresters of the Carolina Di
vision of Champion, specialists of
the State College Agricultural Ex
tension Service and of the staff of
the U. S. Southeastern Forest Ex
periment Station at AshevilJe.
The importance of this phase of
the farm agent's work Is pointed
up by the increasing demand for
pulpwood from the small woodlots,
creating a greater ready cash mar
ket for the farmer.
An example is the dally con
sumption of 1,500 cords of wood
by the Carolina Division of Cham
pion. a large percentage of which
is coming from small woodlots of
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee.
