open for clippings about -Tryon.
George Donoghue left on the type
writer the other day this clipping
from the Miami, (Fla.) Herald:
“Because it has a package of
weather all its own, and-unlike any J
climate in the South, Tryon has be
come established as the only strict

Appalachian Mountains. Its in
between weather ranges from 40

JOHN M. POLK
John M. Polk, died Monday night'
at his Tryon home in Gillette
Woods after an illness of several
months. Funeral plans have not
been announced.
He is survived by his widow,
the former M'iss Virginia Brand,
niece of Mr. arid Mrs. M. B. JPlynn
and of Lady Astor. Two small
children also survive.
Mr. Polk was a lawyer by pro
fession. He served as a naval
officer in World War II on Admir
al King’s staff. His father, Frank
Polk, was assistant secretary of
state in Woodrow Wilson’s cabinet.
“The real gentleman should be
gentle in everything, at least in
everything that depends on him
self,—Carriage, temper, conduc
tions, aims, desires. He aught,
therefore, to be mild, calm, quiet,
even, temperate—not hasty in
judgment, not exorbitant in ambi
tion, not overbearing, not proud,
not rapacious, not oppressive; for
these things are contrary to gentle
ness.” When I read these lines
this morning, l immediately thought
of Jack Polk.—A Friend.
