W. B. Lewis was the guest speaker at Raleigh Bus iness College. Rev. Lewis, p.isb-r of Fay etteville stiu ■! Baptist church, chose as his subject, his trip to the Holy I and and Europe. He stated that the history of Palastine labs l ack for over 5,000 years and the chief re ligions were: Christianity, Jud aism, and Islam, Rev. Lewis visited Palastine, Judae’a, Jor dan, Bethlehem, and others. lie related son e of the history of the Holy lan Palastine has been in tin hands of a lot of countries and in 1722, Northern Lalastine was conquered by the Assyrians. The time in which the Jev. s were trying to come back to Palastine was known as the Maacabean lira. A docu ment was signed that granted the Jews the privilege of going back to Palastine and it was called the B 1! air :mclaration. At that time, R Hph Bunch ' was sent there bv the United Na tion- to settle t’ e dispute. It was decided that they would divide Palastine and place the Jews on one side and the Arabs on the other. Some of the sights Rev. Lewis saw were; The Tomb of Ra chel (one of the outstanding mothers, oi tin Bible.

Electricity ComesTo Hicks ( k>ve BY 808 JONES Oliver Hicks is a mountain man. Ho and his wife, Letha, live In an ungarnished three room cabin nestled in Hicks Cove high in the Smoky Moun tains of Haywood County. Hicks Cove is as small as a community can get. Its only residents are Mr. and Mrs. Hicks. Born there, they have lived at Hicks Cove all their lives. Thirty-seven simple graves on a nearby hillside mutely testify to Hicks’ heri tage as a mountain man. “Those are our kinfolks, ’’ Hicks points out, “Letha and I are tlie only ones left. We have a daughter, but when she went down the mountain to go to school, she got married and moved away." The snug and remote cove was originally settled by Hicks’ grandfather in the early 1800’s. It still reflects the spirit of the self-reliant pioneers, who hewed their way into the rugged terrain more than a century ago. Hicks explained that his mother had the cabin built more than 70 years ago. “I’ve lived here since I was five years old, but I was born over yonder,’' he said, pointing to a stone chimney, which is all that re mains of his birthplace. But conspicuous signs of the twentieth century are changing the face of the hill-dweller’s solitary cove. About a mile l>o low the cove, heavy road build ing machinery is grinding its way through the rocky hills, opening the route for Interstate Highway 40. Near the perimeter of Hicks’ 21 acres, several hunt ing lodges are being built for sportsmen during the bear sea son. And from the site of a fire tower on Sutton Top Mountain, Carolina Power & Light Com pany is bringing a power line across a mile and a quarter of some of the roughest terrain in the Carolinas so that Oliver and Letha Hicks can have elec tricity for the first time. Ironically, Hicks’ nearest neighbor is Charles Moore, su perintendent of c PA I ,’s Walters Hydro - electric Generating Plant, which is eight miles to the north, in Waterville. About the same distance to the south lives Wilbur Teague, caretaker of the dam which supplies wat er for the plant. The Walters plant is one of the largest hy do-electric generating plants in the South. Hicks said that lie has thought about getting electricity ever since the plant was built in 1930. “I finally went down the moun tain about year ago and asked Charley Moore it we could get it,” he explained, “Now I got to get my house wired so we can use it,’ he added. The Hicks have depended upon their surroundings for their livelihood. They grow corn, po tatoes and other vegetables, and have a few chickens, a cow. and some hogs. They also have ap ple trees and grape vines. The forest around them is a bundant with bear, deer, grouse and other wild game, which both Oliver and Letha hunt for fresh meat. Oliver admits that his wife is as good a hunter as he, and says that she is better at coon hunting. “She gets up ear ly in the morning, takes the dog and goes hunting for coon, and generally has good luck,” he smiled. He explained that they used to walk io Waterville to get other things they need, a distance of 20 miles round trip. “I’tn get ting too old to walk it anymore,” he pointed out. “I’m 56 years Announces Candidacv Samuel H. Johnson, Repre sentative from Wake County in the General Assembly, has announced hi- candidacy for re election, in the Democratic pri mary. Johnson ha - sen ed in one re gular session and tvv spec: 1 sessions. He resides in Hot:.--* Creek Township, i- L n at torney for Garner, and main tains a law office in Raleigh. An active Democrat, he is form er President of the W ake Coun ty Young Democrats and the North Carolina Young Demo crats. “In general, ! am running on my record, but 1 shall concen trate harder on problems rout ing to youth and education, if lam re-elected. These related subjects are of the utmost im portance. North Carolina still has not solved the problem educating enough young people, and of furnishing guidance to neglected youth, or those hav ing behavior problems. It is imperative that our young peo ple receive proper training, counseling and supervision in order that they may grow into well adjusted citizens.” “The stress of our life to day demonstrates need for mere attention to persons having psy chological and mental prob lems, and I will support further legislation in this area. I also feel that a new look is neces sary in connection with out do mestic relations law, and pos sibly a longer waiting period for counseling before young people receive marriage 11- censes. There is a break down in family home life in too many cases, and I will pro pose to study to see what leg islation would be helpful. “With our growing economy, I am hopeful that the present tax study will produce ways for a tax reduction.” “Agriculture remains ama- rs f * SAMUf.I H.

With the nearness of the high way, the addition of hunting lodges, and electricity, Hicks .■dill doesn’t expect much change in the daily lives of himself and his wife. ‘‘We st.r right much ioourselvt's,” he explain ed, “and electricity won’t change us much.
