Nearly all of his public pro nouncements have been so lacking in dramatic appeal that, whether they were spoken over the radio or mreely quoted by correspond ents, they have almost invariably fallen flat and failed to produce the effect he had hoped they would. His recent fireside chat was an example. He evidently had put a great amount of work on that ad dress and depended on it to bring; the American people rallying to his support when they had heard a statement of his case. He must have felt a keen dis appointment, therefore, when his best effort brought only a ripple of response and left the greater part of the country with a feeling of indifference. His predecessor, old trouper that he was, could have taken that same theme and held the country spellbound while he play ed upon their emotions almost at will. For he would have singled out one paramount issue, out lined it with graphic clarity to the exclusion of all others, ex posed it from all angles, and fin ally deat it a moral blow, while the audience cheered to the raft ers- Mr. Truman tried to cover the whole field of his administration in a single speech. He was afraid _ to omit any issue that had come up between him and Congress, with the result that he dissipated his emphasis among so many sub jects that neither he nor his list eners could focus 'their attention on any one of them. With the best of intentions and a pathetic earnestness, Mr. Tru man lost the effect of his speech by trying to cover too much ground. His message to Congress had the same weakness. Combining the “State of the Union” and the budget messages into one, he ran into 25,000 words and wrote a document so volumi nous that the press services could not carry the text on the wires, very few newspapers could afford to publish it in full, and only the rarest of those papers had the time or the patience to read it all. He tiled to cover everything from wages and strikes and prices through government expenses, taxes, inflation, reconversion, for eign affairs, the atomic commis ' sion, the UNO, statehood sorter- TffE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS itors her dark-room and photo graphic materials.

Joyce Lan drum, president of the club, haa resigned as she now has a position in Asheville. o i The Woman’s Auxiliary met at the Inn on Tuesday. Mrs. John Nesbit presented the Subject of. study which at this season ia Africa. She used an article en titled “The Heart of Africa,” by Mrs. Wm. Prewitt of Hillsboro, Texas. Mrs. Prewitt was former ly a teacher of Missionarie’s chil dren in the Belgian Congo. She; returned to this country, married and is now taking her family back to Africa with her. o j In the Festival of States pre sented by the college recently the the representatives of Virginia won first prize. They dressed in - colonial costumes and performed a beautiful minuet. The two lit tle “darkies” on the sidelines nearly stole the show. The sec ond prize was won by the represen tatives from Florida. They dis puted the historical landing of Pance de Leon in search of the Fountain of Youth and his meet ing with the Indians. Indian mus ic and lonely scenery made a charming background. The rep resentatives from central and western states received third , prize with a comical pantomine entitled “And the Lamp Went Out.” o The Mountain Elf says: “ ’Phone your news, your trips your fun, To Mrs. John H.

Thank you. 1 ritories, demobilization, and in i numerable other subjects that wound up with the 21 bills on | which he has twice previously j asked for congressional action. With such a mass of material before them, the best the corre spondents could do was to write a sketchy summary that merely listed the different topics in the message and left them stark and drawn with no illuminative or convincing argument to support them- Again he had dissipated his em phasis on a multiplicity of sub jects so that the only possible re ’ sponse was indifference, because j the rambling message left the 1 people with nothing into which j ! they could set their teeth. I But Roosevelt was ever the St. | George. The dragon was always limned s in picturesque outline before him,, 6 ! snorting fire from its nostrils and r lashing with its poisonous tail, ” while the sword of the crusade was poised for a deadly thrust at r the monster’s vitals. g If no dragon was abroad at the moment, he could find one, route j £ it out of its lair into the open, and make the heroic charge while the people looked on in open-mouthed 0 wonder. Granted that Mr. Truman was - not born with Roosevelt’s histrion e ic personality and that nature did not give him the voice of a mas ter orator, he could at least learn e the trick of concentrating his em n phasis on the central issue and of d not wasting his energies on the e lesser questions. , It is neither necessary nor prof d itable for even the most con - scientious man to go out of his - \yay to be dull.—The Charlotte i Observer. 1 Morgan Named To Be Trustee of Mars Hill 1 J.
