CIRCULATION MANAGER—Kathleen Ricker.’^ Poet s Corner Beneath The Pisgah TO ‘‘MOM’’ BY JIM NEWBURY UH—MU—MM— A Day Of Dedication! On Sunday, July Fourth, this great nation of ours will celebrate its 167th. birthday. This year, in addition to celebration, the observance of Independence Day should take the form of dedication. Since July 4, 1776, our country has grown from thirteen small, struggling colonies to one of the greates nations the world has ever known. To be free from tyranny and suppression, our fore fathers braved an uncharted ocean to establish their homes m a new world where they might have individual free dom; where they might establish a government that would guarante;e freedom of worship, freedom of speech, free dom of press and freedom of assembly. With great cour age and determination, they established such a govern ment and won their independence as a nation. Today we are fighting on batt^efronts on land, on sea and in the air, all over the world, to preserve that freedom which our nation has enjoyed for the past 167 years. Hundreds of our employees are in the armed forces. Over nine million of our nation’s finest young men are in uniforms. With the spirit of 1776 flowing through their veins, these men, many of them, will pay the supreme price in order that this and future generations may continue to enjoy the blessings of freedom. Let’s celebrate the glorious heritage that is ours and at the same time, let’s rerdedicate ourselves here on the homefront to the great principles upon which our nation was founded and let’s resolve to do everything we pos sibly can to speed the day of Victory. To every one of Ecusta men in semce, wherever you may be, we here at home salute you on this Fourth of July. We pledge'that we shall not fail you; that we will buy all of the bonds and stamps that we can afford to buy; that we will co-operate fully with rationing and other wartime regulations; that we will aid in all war effort campaigns as-we have done in the past; and that we will work harder and more efficiently. Congratulations To The Times! nieeting of the National Editorial Association held in Cincinnati, Ohio, last week, The Tran sylvania Times was awarded second place in the general excellence^ contest among the larger non-daily newspapers of the United States. A New Jersey newspaper won first place. Leading non-daily newspapers of the United States compete yearly for various honors at these conventions. Among the awards made are those for most notable com- munity service, best front page, best editorial page and a number of others. The general excellence classification is considered the most important by newspaper men for in this division every aualitv of a newspaper that makes it outstanding is considered and evaluated. Incidentally, another North Carolina weekly—The Elkin Tribune at Elkin—won first place in the community service contest. The Echo extends its heartiest congratulations to The Times for this magnificent honor. It should be borne in mind that there are around 10,000 non-daily newspapers in the United States and while only a very small percent age of them compete, it is true that only the very best are entered for publishers generally know that to win in any of these contest is an outstanding achievement. This ^ward is not only testimony to the ability of the Publisher, Ed M. Anderson, as a newspaper man and a community leader, but also reflects the spirit of the progressive com munity which his paper serves. Winning thaf award is also an honor for Brevard, YouVe meant a million things to me In all this war torn world, You’ve stirred emotions in my heart You’ve been my only girl. When I was sick you cared for me When I was sad you cried, Although some things were hard to get You did your best and tried. There have been days of sadness And days of joy and glee, In this whole world, I can’t express The things you’ve meant to me. Sometimes I have forgotten you And all your deeds so true, But in my heart, there’ll always be A place, Dear Mom, for you. I could never repay you For all the things you’ve done. For all the happiness you’ve brought The things for me, you’ve won. I could never forget you Forget that heart so true, And always my ambition Is to be, Mom, more like you. Although your trials are many And mine are very few, There are three words, Mom, please don’t forget And those are, “I love you.” A Bird Came Down The Walk BY EMILY DICKINSON A bird came down the walk: He did not know I saw; He bit an angle-worm in halves And ate the fellow, raw. And then he drank a dew From a convenient grass, And then hopned sidewise to the wall To let a beetle pass. He glanced with rapid eyes That hurried all abroad,— They looked like frightened beads, I thought He stirred his velvet head. Like one in danger; cautious, I offered him a crumb, And he unrolled his feathers And rowed him softer home. Than oars divide the ocean, Too silver for a seam. Or butterflies, off banks of noon. Leap, plashess, as they swim. Boo»c. Corner* “A good book is the best friends, the same to-day and ever.”—M. F.

I could not turn my gaze away. But stood awhile to view The violets and the daffodils. Still wet with morning dew. I stooped to gather lots of them Then thought it was a shame To pluck them from the natural bed For then their beauty I change. I lingered on and looked at them, Drinking in their fragrance sweet. Thinking that when God made the earth, He made it all complete. —By Pearleen Blankenship Do you love to feel the soft of a puppy? Do you get a kick out u .
