'Tit Walk Again"
Is Constant Motto
Of Cross Moss
Hayesvllle ? For a man who
has a lied the soil, fed cattle
and lived the life of an average
farmer, to wake up one
morning and find his legs
completely paralyzed, there
would have been bitterness
and resentment on the part of
most men. This was not the
reaction of Cress Moss. His
first statement was "I'm so
glad it is my legs instead of
my arms. I'can feed myself."
It was In May, I960,
on Mother's Day that Cress
Moss had hisflrstoperationin
a Durham hospital. The
doctors found he had cancer.
April 2. 1961 he had surgery
for the second time. This was
on his wifes birthday. After
he returned to his home in
Clay County, his progress was
reasonalby slow, for a few
weeks. One night he suffered
severe pain all night long
and at day break when he tried
to turn over he became aware
of the stunning realization that
he could not move his legs.
This was a crisis in the
lives of both Mr. and Mrs.
Moss. It has been met with
courage, determination and
a cheerful attitude, on the part
of them both.
A wheel chair is no rarity
in the Moss home. Mrs. Moss*
grandmother was in a wheel
chair for twenty years before
she died and visited often in
the Moss home. Mrs. Moss'
mother who is now 92 has
been in a wheel chair for the
past five years and lives with
Mr. and Mrs; Moss several
months each year. For a
family accustomed to wheel
chairs the logical thing to do
was buy another one.
Mr. and Mrs. Moss own a
jeep, with a metal cab and the
back end open, and with the
wheel chair they started a
period of adjustment. An im
provised ramp was made
on die front porch, Sheriff
Neal R. Kitchens provided a
seat for the back of die jeep
an the Mosses started visit
ing, enjoying picnics and
again enjoyed all the beauties
of nature. They attended all
the festivides of the Clay
County Centennial celebration
this Summer.
Mr. Moss is not willing to
accept the life of an invalid;
but is determined to walk
again. For many years he has
played the old fashion organ
at the Moss Memorial Church.
This organ requires pedaling
with both feet. Now that his
legs are paralyzed this didn't
stop him. He merely changed
from the organ to the piano.
At the worship services if the
tone of the piano doesn't
change; because of the lack of
the foot pedal itdoesn't matter
to this congregation for their
pianist is pounding the keys
and making all the music he
can with what he has ? his
hands.
His services to his com
munity doesn't stop with his
music. Each Monday morning
is a real j?y t0 1,113 cor~
respondent when the phone
rings about 9:00 a.m. and a
cheerful voice says "Mrs.
Kitchens are you ready for
my news?" During the week
he calls all his neighbors
and friends and then on Mon
day he reports the local news
in his community. It is then
typed and sent to the Cherokee
Scout and Clay Progress. He
spends a lot of dme visiting
the ill and shut-ins.
In September he returned to

while in the hospital. When
he returned home from this
trip in October the weather
was getting chilly. He is still
making his rounds but is now
riding In the cab of the jeep.
He says, "I haven't had the
heater connected yet. This
fresh air is healthy. I just
put on my overcoat and wrap
a blanket around my legs."
He is continuing the daily
exercises for his legs that he
was taught at the hospital.

There is such en <
amount of deep down satis
faction that comes (along with
blisters and hammered
thumbs) when a display con
veived and designed by your
self is finally lighted in all
Its' glory on your house or
front lawn at Christmas time.
Some displays require months
of planning, some are
extremely simple, yet most
effective. All obtain full
effecdveness with lighdng.
Llghdng reveals ? but it
also conceals. It is quite
possible to conceal mistakes
in carpentry with skill in
lighdng ? which means there
is hope for even us duffers.
To help you In your
Christmas lighdng, we might
offer a few suggestions:
If you're new, keep your
project simple, until, as dme
goes by you become more
skilled. Plan carefully and
well in advance. If you use a
string of lamps, plot the color
patterns. If you use spot or
flood lamps (and they will
help to unify the endre effect)
plan to conceal them so that
the light is not visible from
the street. Once you have your
display installed, whether it be
a Nadvity Scene, a Santa Cluse
Story, or over all decoration,
the fun now begins. Move your
lamps about. See what
different effects can be
obtained. Now the true
results of your labor and
efforts can be seen and ap
preciated.
We have In the office at
the Power Board several
pictures of homes and dis
plays from all over the
country that have been judged
in previous lighting contests.
Some are very simple, some
elaborate. All are at your
disposal. Come In, look
them over, and if you find
any Ideas you can use in your
Christmas lighting this year,
you are most welcome to use
them. At no other time of year
is there an occasion when we
as homeowners, can make so
direct and colorful a contri
bution to the attractiveness
of our neighborhood, as at
Christmas time. The
shrubbery may take years to
grow, the house may have
features we dislike, but with
our Christmas lighting we can
transform the entire setting
into glowing beauty, practi
cally overnight. Whether we ,
receive a reward or not, the
joy and satisfaction we get
will well be reward enough.
Please call us if we can be
of any help to you in any way,
but whatever you do, let's make
this Christmas the brightest
Christmas YOU have ever had.
Let's make this Christmas the
brightest Christmas MURPHY
has ever had!
