He said, "If we do grow in wis dom and grace, if we do our duty faithfully and in gpod spirit and if we lead useful lives, we will know a kind of happiness which the superficial pleasure seeker can never know. Sorrow will cbme no I matter how well we order our lives. But if we are faithful to life's trusts, both Joy and sorrow will enrich our lives. "Many of us have never learned that happiness comes not so much from outward circumstances as from inward attitude. "Money can keep the wolf from the door, but it cannot prevent the rats of domestic strife from ruining the fabric of marital hap piness. "Happiness is not something you can put on like a shirt; It is some thing that bubbles up from the deep places of the heart. It is not something conferred by cin cumstances: it is something dis tilled within a man's soul by the j quality of his faith. "People who lack faith in God and in other people tend to be come critical and complaining. And the critic is seldom a happy man. "A disorganized, chaotic life can never be a very happy life. Neither ; can a life that is organized around a petty purpose. The man whose life is organized around the idea of being useful to other people of to some worthy eause is headed for a measure of happiness."

The importance of the Blue Ridge Parkway to North Carolina pa rticularly the mountain region? is emphasized in statements made this week by Governor Luther H. Hodges and Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr. in connection with the 20th anniversary of the Parkway June < 30. Governor Hodges statement reads: , I "It is a pleasure to send greet- ' ings and best wishes upon the oc- ; casion of the 20th anniversary of i the establishment of the Blue < Ridge Parkway by an Act of Con- I gress. This is indeed an event < worthy of celebration and I wish 1 that it had been possible for me t lo attend. However, I do want to express my approval of this ob servance and call attention to the value of this great Parkway. "The fact that the Blue Ridge Parkway is a great asset to West ern North Carolina is verified by the record of more than four mil lion people each year visiting this beautiful "Highway in the Sky," which is both a vacation area and in access road to famous scenic attractions and resort areas. First conceived by the United States Government in the early thirties as a means of connecting two Na tional parks?the Shenandoah Na tional in Virginia and the Great Smoky National in North Carolina ?the Parkway has made history as a public works project and as a public recreational facility which ia now truly a natural resource. "We are immensely proud of the active part which North Carolina has played in the establishment, ] planning, location and actual con struction of this magnificent toll free highway. Since construction began in 1933. the North Carolina State Highway and Public Works Commission has acquired, or will acquire, approximately 125 acres per miles or a total of approxi mately 25.000 acres for the Park way. "North Carolina has spent ap proximately $2,500,000 in acquir ing land for the Parkway and it is estimated that the State will spend another $1,000,000 for other , right-of-way areas when all the land has been acquire^. It is 1 hoped that the remaining 70 miles in North Carolina will soon be completed and paved and we should never lose sight of this goal. "We are also grateful for the cooperation and assistance of the .National Park Service and its of ficials who have worked with our Slate Highway Commission, west (Continued on Page 6) "RULE OF THUMB" CARE ISN'T ENOUGH IN CASE OF IlBlESS TO GUARD YOUR HEALTH, DEPEND ON YOUR DOC TOR'S KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.
