H. Y. Belk-? ? ' 4 ?' * ? '"???. ; J? ** v>fvi J.; *?.'?,'*? ? . , r* -:%$,> &f*S:*xh? -AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY Miss Dot Williams from Oak Grove spent Saturday evening with Mrs. H. Y. Belk, jr., at Nebo. They were! school mates. Miss WUHahas is itti the ninth grade and very good look- j Ing. \ Roy Woods, the next time you come out this way on Friday night be more careful. Keep your car on the bridge. You woke us all up. We thought the train had left the track. That's a fine way to get killed, and you didn't have but one can of beer so they said. Well, March brougt us up some very cold windy weather, yet folks are fishing right on. Bill Ross called to see yours truly ' Monday, from* the Cora mill village. Most all those people own their homes. Who was that old Gieek philoso pher in his rajnblings came sneak ing over to America with his lant < ' em lit in open day j W 1 light searching for I rW an honest man an<i stopped in Wash imWh ington to get oil for Jf*/ his lamp? Oh, I sB&jm-f remember, it was that old man DJog ones. After looking around his lamp dB H went and he j took the first' train ' out without searching longer. Many are the steps for a man from ' the cradle to the grave ? only one step from the drivers' seat to the Undertaker's parlor. Now as ever Mr. Harry Truman in Florida taking a bath. He's not fishing all the time. John L. watches the thermometer. The lower it goes the higher goes coal. 1 remember the good old days when ma was the tamily doctor. It was take baking soda or be drench ed with castor oil. I never knew which did the most good. The oil went farther down and stayed no longer. The cold March -winds are drying out the land and blowing the ladies' skirts high ? its too cold to wear shorts. . I don't really believe there are so many bad people on earth. I've met a lot of good people that is what keeps the world from going upside down. We just have to keep faith in a few people else we wouldn't trust 'em without money. They mean feo pay us back?oh, they Just for get. Tom Fesperman says that statis tics claim women live eight .years longer than men. Men drive them selves to death trying to keep out of the other fellow's way, not bad. Furthermore, Tom says is something Isn't done to turn the tide we *nust get accustomed to having ladies rush over to you to light your ci garette and light your cigars too. I knew there were kind but I hardly thought we would find them so lady- like as to light up your ci gars at your window ? you can't ne ver tell. One day the Devil stood by the party fence where they vote, watch ing the.crowds and candidates stride < up to the box to vote. It made the crowd sneer. Then the Devil smiled and said: you'll wind up where I dwell, said he Wasn't Just warning the Republicans but all as well who are whooping for your candidates. When Adam and his gave up the Garden they went out into a world to earn bread by the sweat of the face. The story of the years is empires built and destroyed. Man comes on the scene and .tolls with faith to reaoh a higher place. The world Is filled with discontent. I'ohce heard a very wi#e old saint say that no man If he Is normal Is .not naturally contented with the things of this life. Adam jmd Eva gave up a Para dise for a, mesa of pottage, so they could do as they thought they pleas ed. Mr. Harry Truman says he's con fident that prosperity will continue. Yep, I do too, with him for the next four years fish or no fish. Did you ever stop to think the space I take up tor this column, the Editor can sell in ads for ?25 each week? That's more than I get. I do get a few compliments but not in Kings Mountain-r-not very often. A nice gentleman called by from New York, Stopped at the offi ce and had some kind remarks for me. He calls on the Margrace Mills, of course they send him the paper. Mr. Barnes, our new lawyer, hand ed me a compliment down at the bank ? said-he always r^ad my mes sage first thing. In the fight for Federal control of medicine it mi&ht be' well to shake the bottle before we swallow the contents. If Mr. Scott gets that $2 J million bucks why not build a tower to the moon. Every time we' put a new man in he tries something new. But the important thhig Mr. Scott is going to build roads 'til he can't find space to build roads. He may have to put; in a few subways. There is no hope of lowering taxes. We should be highly in fav or of the two hundred million taxes. See, that villi 'make good roads to market. If we haven't got anything to sell might warn to ride to town with the other fellow. I 'love to ride on a slick million dollar trail if I am bumping along with the other fellow so long as doesn't mention the gas. With a now depression looking at us its no time for crawfishing. We spent what money we had. We made our bed as men who put up to get the best they can 'til the job runs out, we put up a good fight. Yes, this country is getting in. a heck of a fix. What you going to do when .the, meat gives out? I told you before Harry took Over the fishing. It? tough but let's wait and see if it don"* get rough. If dear old Colum bus were here he would discover too many roads and change 1U? mind that he was wrong, that the world Is flat, not round. We shall all see that the world or the people are flat. In closing this brief session to day, you never thought I'd be"* poet An old man walking down the road Kept mumbling as he slowly went, My days are nearly spent, I was a Democrat, And wasn't content with that I'd be much better off if dead They told me how I had to vote And taxed my shirt and pants From your remarks The preacher said I would infer you'd rather Lose your soul than your shirt and pants. \ ' Angels of Mercy y Ethiopian Style Only a hundred doctors and a few dozen nurses were available until ' recently to care tot Ethiopia's total population of some 12,000,000. t f Now, with the aid of the U.N. World Health Organisation (WHO),: training programs in all parts of the country are turning out thei necessary help to relieve the critical shortage of medical personnel.!
