A story sent out Tuesday by Wade Lucas,
information officer of the Stale Detainment
of CukiH4*vation and Development, interested
us, int thajl 1t dealt with the same subject.
Thf' story date-lined Wilkesboro, is as
follow#:
"A.jifi* ? at least in northwestern North
Carolina ? industry for )>roc<tfudng of the
none-better apples grown in such quantities
in thin section of the State has gone into oj>
eratipn hero.
"Owned and oi>erated by Mr. and Mrs.
Jainif Osborne, it is located in the same
building in which Osborne attempted two
year%ago to make a success as the State's
first manufacturer of apple sauce.
? "Oabofne, who left his native Virginia
years ago to locate here in an effort to makq
a better living, decided that the business of
making sauce out of Northwestern North
Carolina apples was too risky in that his
margin of profit was extremely small. Then,
too. the destruction of Inst years apple and
other fruit crops in the State as a result of
the freeze in the early Spring.
"Now, Osborne and his wife have conclud
ed that their best chances of success in
spreading the use of the famed Brushy
Mouutuin apples over long periods is through
a process N. C. State College horticulture ex
perts have helped them devise*.
"The Qsbornes. who hnve employed quite
u numjt>er of women of this community, are
drying apples and also freezing them fresh
for packing in 30-pound, airtight tins for
bakeries, hotels, and others who delight in
advertising "fresh North Carolina apple pie
today,^ . . "
"And the frozen apples, Osborne asserts,
will have that "tree freshness" flavor the
advertising fellows talk about so much in
proving that old adage of "It pays to adver
? tise". '
"Rhode* jfetson, executive director ?oMbo
Wilkes County Chamber of Commerce, has
worked closely with th*? Osbornes in helping
get the somewhat fledgling industry start
ed. So have former Wilkes Sheriff Presley K.
Rrown, who formerly employed Osborne in
his lumber business, and numerous apple
growers in this great apple growing area.
"Machinery for peeling and to core the ap
ples, then slice them into equal parts, has
bwii installed by Osborne. Chemical solu
tions of a non-harmful nature is "used to
keep the drying apples from losing their
natural color.
"The frozen variety gets somewhat simi
lar treatment, but better grade apples are
used for freezing and then packing in the
tins for hotel, bakery, and institutional use.
The prows*, which, of course, includes aguin
n tum-hiirmful chemical as recommended by
N. 0, State College experts, is a bit more
involved.
"Thelma (Osborne's wife) and I decided
s<aiethjftg could be done to make better and
longer use of the unsurpassed Brushy Moun
Ice On The Highways
The Parkway officials have closed the
links of that scenic road on aJl sides of us
for the winter. This is the annual procedure
when ice and snow hit the areas.
There was ice on U. S. 441 Saturday after
noon at Newfound Gap, following the slight
snowfall of Friday. Park Rangers reported
several slight wrecks on the Tennessee side
of the mountain, as motorists failed to heed
the warning sigiu. The cars hit the ice-coat
ed highway at a fast speed, and went into
spins. The rangers reported no injuries.
Ice hue-key players are about the only ones
we know of that can travel at a fast pace
on ice without going into a spin ? and af
ter all, the players are on steel scutes made
for ice, and not on rubber tires. |
Encouragement To Vote
A good idea has just been put into effect
by (iov. Averell Uarriman. He is going to
present a "certificate of good citizenship" to
any resident of the state who has voted with
out fail in every election for the last 50
years. The first award went to Edwin Hick
wall of Day, Saratoga county, who has vot
ed 71 times. That covers every local, state or
national election since 1881.
Regular voting should be regarded as an
honorable distinction. When this privilege
has been exercised without a break for half
a century or more, it shows an appreciation
f?f thi? iliitioci nf rituliin that
public commendation.
Why should not New York's example he
followed by other states? The American
Heritage Foundation, which for some years
has been trying to get out a larger vote,
might well give publicity to Governor Harri
man's idea.?Catskill Mail, N. Y.
The low reading of 21 last weekend makes
us realize just what fine fall weather we
have been enjoying all the while.

That is the story from Wilkesboro.

VIEWS OF OTHER EDITORS
Two - Term Amendment
Preaidant Eisenhower's misgivings about the
constitutional amendment limiting the President to
two imisj probably are shared by many persons
who h*ve thought about the problem. This does uot
mean that they believe a President should normally
serve more than two terms or that the President is
longing for a third term while he is running for a
second. Rather, it indicates a dislike for a rigid
prohibition in plgo? of the more flexible two-term
tradition established by Washington and adhered to
until the third election of President Roosevelt in
1!M(V Many of those who deplore the Twenty-second
Amendment are equally emphatic in saying that
the two-term tradition should never have been
broken, but of course tbc events of history cannot
be altered by hindsight.

to talk about repeal top the Twenty-second Amend
ment on this groqnd before any President has had
any experience under it.
Another (actor must be Mpighcd before any el
fort is made to repeal the amendment. Such repeal
would not. of course, restore the two-term tradition.
On the contrary, it might wcU be interpreted as re
moving all restraint of any sort upon the return of
a President to the White House as many times as
be could win the quadrennial election. This. in our
opinion, would be most unfortunate. So much power
has been concentrated in the Presidency that no
man should hp permitted to hold It Indefinitely
even with the consent of a majority of the people
Except in the most extraordinary circumstances, the
sfioil-term advantages of keeping an experienced
man in the ofTice are outweighed by the long-term
dangers of one-man government For the* reasons

Stories
By CABL GOEBCH
This is the story of Mr. Jesse
Hollowed'* experience while at
tending the Methodist Conference
in Elizabeth City a number of
years ago.
Mr. floiloweli is a prosperous
grocer in Wuke forest. He also
is a staunch member of the
Methodist Church, and it was as
a result of his faithful work in
that organization that he was
elected a delegate to the con
ference.
About a week or so before the
session took place, Mr. Hollowed
received a letter trorn "The
Entertainment Committee" i n
Elizabeth City. He took it home
with him and. after supper, he
and Mrs. Holiowell discussed it.
"Hurry up." he directed her,
"because I've got to get back to
the store and do a little work."
Mrs. Holiowell proceeded to
read off several questions and
Mr. Holiowell gave her brief
instruolions as to the answer he
wished to make.
"Here's one." said Mrs. Hollo
well. "Which asks if you want to
be entertained, or whether you
will look after your own enter
tainment."
"I'm not going to Elizabeth
City for entertainment; I'm going
to attend the Methodist Confer
ence." said Mr. Hollowed firmly.
"Just put down that they don't
need to bother about entertaining
me. I don't care about going to
see any shows or taking pleasure
trips, or doing other things of
that nature: And if they ask my
opinion about it, I'll tell them
that such things are decidedly
rut of place at a religious meet
ing anyway."
Mrs Holiowell did as he direct
ed and. a few minutes later, he
left home and went down to the
cl/ven ?
The time came to leave tor the
convention. Mr. Hollowell was
accompanied by his preacher and
one or two other delegates. They
made the trip to Elizabeth Citv
without special incident and went
around to the Methodist Church
to register.
Mr Hollowell waited his turn.
Ho stood in tine several minutes
and finally reached the desk
where a very attractive young
ladv was filling out cards.
"Your name, please," she said,
as she smiled at Mr. Hollowell.
".tesso Hollowell "
"And your adress?"
"Wake Forest "
She skimmed through a box
ful of cards and, taking one out.
glanced at it
"Oh. 1 see." she said, "accord
ing to this card, vou don't care
for entertainment."
"Well, in that ease," she said
"we'll just have to let you shift

ever, that you ao around to the
Virginia Dare Hotel: you'll prob
ably be able to eel a room there "
Mr. liollowell looked at her
somewhat Indignantly. Then he
went to hunt up his preacher and
told him of what had taken place
"Why, that'll never do." sajd
the Reverend. You let me talk
to that young lady."
So thev both went baek?1o the
registration desk. The preacher
introduced himself and said; "Mr
Hollowel] here is an authorized
delegate to the Conference and I
certainly think he is entitled to
room and board somewhere In
town."
"That's right," said Jesse "To
tell the truth. 1 didn't brine
enough money to pay for accom
modations at a hotel As a mat
ter of fact 1 didn't tnink it was
necessary!"
The vounc lady looked at him
somewhat roldly. "What made
vou change your mind so quick
ly?" she demanded
"1 havent changed 'ray mind "
"You have changed it "
"1 have not "
"You have."
"Well, there's no telling how
long that argument might have
listed if one of the local com
mitteemen hadn't stepped un
(?bout that time He inquired to
tlnd out what was taking place
and the young lady told him.
"Here's his card." she said
handing it over.
The committeeman took it and
looked at it carefully. "Why. Mr
Hollowell." he said "yoti express
ly told us not to reserve a room
for you "
"I did no such a thing'" said
Jesse.
"But you most assuredly did."
said the committeemen "It says
so qb this card."
"Let me see that card." said
Jesse taking it into his own hands
as he spoke.
He regarded it closely. Then:
"There isn't a word on here about
room and board." he Anally said.
"But there la." said the com
mitteeman. He pointed at one of
the bottom llniea of the card and
read. Entertainment ? ?*. I
j
.
will look after myself'."
"Oh"' exclaimed Mr Hollow-ell
somewhat blankly You mean
that 'Entertainment' refers to ac
commodations''"
"Why, certainly." said the com
mitteeman
"Oh!" said Jesse attain "I
thought you meant moving pic
tures, or sightseeing trips or
maybe a dance. I didn't care for
any of those things "
Everything was tin ally settled
and Mr llpllowell was given ac
commodations w ith a nice family
Somehow or other, the story got
out and the preachers had a big
time with Jesse To this day.
some of them still refer to him as .
"Entertainment Hollowed " But
all that he says in reply is Why
don't people speak the English 1
language the way it should be (

you could pass them on to some
worthy and needy persons'1 Well,
there is such an outlet in Waynes

them and how it is all managed,
especialy how YOU can have a
part in this very worthy project.
So please read on.
Every officer is an unpaid vol

Anyone who gets help brings
a referral from her pastor, from

from any woman who is active
in the Clothes Closet. Some coun
seling will be done to promote
cleanliness, preparation for jobs,

that the confidence of the donors
will not be abused.
Many of those in need in our

add a bit to their security.
Teachers know of children who

Expectant mothers have asked for
clean out worn sheets to make
simple garments for their babies.
All homemakers are acquainted

Rambling 'Round
By Frances Gilbert Frazier
There is something indescribably beautiful and fascinating about
visiting a city after it is ablaze with light, and shining in all its bril
liancy. Recently we had tlw pleasure of visiting Asheville after night
fall and seeing the city in full glow:
Long before we reached the outskirts of town, the reflection
of the lights shone against the purple sky and as we drew nearer,
the whole scene was one of brilliant glory. Then on the return trip,
we were presented another picture of radiance in the miles of auto
mobile headlights forming a chain of diamonds that was dazzlingly
beautiful. Along tbe roadside, friendly lights beamed from the win
dows and motels added their gifts with many multi-colored lights. And
not to be outdone, the stars and a half-moon added their brilliant dis
plays.
And take our own Main street, for instance. Just stand at either
end of the street, and take a long look If you cannot react to its love
liness, there's decidedly something wrong with your eyesight, tem
perament or digestion.
A hobby Is the best companion a person can have.
Recently we saw an example of what home training can do A
couple and two young sons came into the tea room for din^fe^ The
ages of the boys were, approximately, seven and nine. The se^Pyear
old, with the air of only doing something to which he was accustomed,
held his mother's chair then took his scat at the tqjde. All during
the meal, the family quietly conversed and an occasional chuckle of
laughter proved they were thoroughly enjoying their meal and each
other.
It was a refreshing sight in these hectic days of spoiled and rude
children who are objectionable in public places and who must, cer
tainly, embarrass their parents with their utter disregard for the
opinions of others by their discourtesy to their parents.
Perhaps we are a bit too old-fashioned but the present code of
youth is so unlike what we were taught that we sometimes fervently
wish there was some of the old-fashioned discipline still in circula
tion. To hear a child say "What?" when addressed by an adult, at
tunes our ears to a reprimand . . . but strange as it may seem, we
rarely hear one. And a vociferous "shut up" front a youngster to an
older person, causes the queerest sensation in the palm of our right
hand and a furtive glance at where we'd like to place it. warmly.
And that, children, ends our lecture for today.
"If we could see ourselves as others see us," would we be
flattered or want to fight?
Well, what do you know? Here it is the middle of November,
with "thanksgiving just a week ahead. Odd, isn't it, how the days
can roll themselves into months before a fellow can turn around!
Why, it seems like only yesterday that wp put on our new bonnets
for Easter, and then the Fourth of July came flipping along only to
move away for Labor Day. The old saying is that the quickest way
to make time pass is to have a ninefy-dav note in the bank. But
they pass just as fast even if you don't have a cent in the bank.
Hold faith by the hand and you're not likely to stumble.
