the North Carolina
it* Bill Norris
place in
the 1971
Press Association.
The announcement was
made by Governor Bob Scott
last. Thursday night at the
Press Institute in Chapel Hill.
Bill deserved to win.
The story, “Vernon McCall
Ort In The Cold”, that he
wrote last year received na
tionwide pnblieitv, in the
press, on the radio and on
tv.
The New York Times even
used the story.
As the judges said, it was
a story with a heartbeat . . .
and excellent reporting.
We predict that, it will fare
better in national competition
than it did in the state.
Such was the case of another
story, or column, that Bill
wrote back in 1968. His
“Sportalk” column, devoted to
the death in Vietnam of Regi
nald Lynch, a former Brevard
High Blue Devil football star,
received no recognition on the
state leyeL
But judges in these tough
contests don’t always see things
the same way. The column
entered national competition
and won first place in the na
tion, leaving the state judges
with a little egg on their faces.
It just might happen again.
There’s lots of sickness
around, but fortunately it
hasn’t hit the young people
like it has in other areas.
Absentism In the schools is
around five per cent, which
is normaL
Some counties around us
are reporting flu in near
epidemic stages.
Bet with “hot one day and
cold the next” weather, what
can you expect.
Anyone vbo thinks money
grows on trees, according to
Srnshine Magazine, will have
a hard time getting out of
the woods.
And the Chicago Tribune of
fers this one: The child that
hides behird his mother’s
skirts is no longer a coward—
he’s a magician.
When a man claims he has
discovered something to keep
his wife from talking too
mnch, chances are it’s a gag.
Borrowed . . .
The fellow who brags
about how smart he is,
wouldn’t, if he were.
—ii—
A grouch is a fellow who
has sized himself up and is
pretty sore about it.

To take a great weight off
your mind, try discarding
your halo.
Middle age is when you
find books that were banned
when you were a boy now
are in the children’s library.
Joke of the week . . .
A farmer’s barn burned down,
the agent for the insurance
company, explaining the policy
that covered the structure,
told him that his firm
would build another barn of
similar size instead of paying
the claim in cash. The farmer
1&
was furious. “If that’s the way
your company does business,”
he exploded, “you can just
cancel the insurance policy on
my wife!”
And we alro like . . .
A four-year-old, very shy
to soap and water, was put-'
ting rp his usual series of
arguments about why he
should not have to take a
bath.
“You want to be clean,
don’t you?” asked his mother
as she half-pulled him to the
bathtub.
“Yes,” sobbed the tot. “But
why can’t you just, dust me
off like you do the furni
ture?”

Full Schedule Of Activity
Is Underway At Enon Church
Each' third Sunday is “Build
ers Day” with special offering
to reduce the indebtedness on
the church building at Enon.
There was a good response
and a worthy offering in spite
of zero weather.
“On most Thursday nights,
some of our mission organiza
tions meet in a home for pro
motion or Bible study. Both
Wednesday and Saturday nights
are set for prayer and Bible
study”, says Rev. F. P. Blank
enship, the pastor
Last Sunday (23rd) was
“Baptist Men’s Day” and the
men and boys were in the lime
light. The day began with a
breakfast with ham and eggs
at the home of the pastor. This
was well attended and enjoyed
to t^e fullest.
Howard Galloway is Sunday
School Director, Roy Head is
Training Union Director, Ro
land Blanton is Brotherhood
Director and Kenneth McCoy is
Choir Director. Each Sunday’s
bulletin lists the name of the
“Deacon of the Week” and also
the name and address of one of
the men in service away from
home.
“Nearly all men and boys
took part in the choir last Sun
day at Morning Worship. It
seemed that we all enjoyed the
special testimony type of serv
ice with many people sharing
the special blessing of God.
Especially did the men respond
with hopes for growth in grace
and numbers. The pastor did
not ‘preach’ and it has been
rumored that he might get an
increase in salary if he keeps
this up. Pastors, take note!,”
says Mr. Blankenship.
Sunday night began a full
schedule with emphasis on the
Holy Spirit work in the life of
a Christian. Every member is
invited to attend this Saturday
7:00 p.m. for the last study in
this series. The church plans a
community-wide census in the
near future and hopes to con
tact each home in this area.
The public is cordially invit
ed to attend the services of our
church, Mr. Blankenship con
cludes.
