James came in from work, pulled off
his boots and flopped down on the
floor. He stretched out, folded his hands
across his stomach. In no time at all he
was asleep.
And snoring. His w ife says he can raise
and lower Venetian blinds when he
breathes in and out.
Ten and 1 1-hour days occur frequently
for James. He works hard. Lifts pre-cut
pieces of wood onto a machine and recuts
them for use in furniture manufactunng.
Struggles with Atlas-killer rolls of plastic
and cloth. Makes about S9.000 a year.
He's thin. At five feet, 10 inches he
weighs only 125 pounds. Over 50 years
old, he still has solid black hair with no
gray at the temples. He uses Vitalis like a
1950s professional baseball player.
With only a high school education and
an employment background on a dairy
farm (his father was a tenant farmer),
James was obviously at a disadvantage
Chamber ensembles
to perform tonight
The Tuesday Evening Series tonight is
a Concert of Chamber Ensembles
featuring works by Beethoven, Walter
Piston, Glinka, and Leonard Bernstein.
The opening work will be an early
Beethoven Trio (G major), scored for
flute (Susan Oehler), bassoon (John
Pederson), and piano (Judy Warburton).
This will be followed by Leonard
Bernstein's "Sonata for Clarinet and
Piano" with Donald Oehler as the soloist.
This work in two movements was
Bernstein's first publication and is
described by the soloist: "the second
movement is distinctively Bernstein-as
soon as you hear it you know nobody
else could have written it with a sort of
West Side Story flavor. The first
movement is more traditional and lyrical,
more like Hindemith."

Presentation
"Three Pieces for Flute, Clarinet, and
Bassoon" by Walter Piston follows the
Berstein, and the program concludes with
Glinka's "Trio Pathetique," arranged for
flute, clarinet, and piano by Dr. Thomas
Warburton. Glinka is a contemporary of
Mozart and the piece features the most
'technical piano work of the evening.
Next Tuesday's concert will ' be
performed by the Varsity Men's Glee
Club under the direction of Robert
Porco; and the final Tuesday Evening
concert will be the UNC Symphony
Orchestra under David Serrins.
when it came to job-hunt;ng. So after
marrying at age IK he jumped at the
chance to work on his father-in-law "s
farm near Randleman. He and his young
bride promptly moved into a classy
"suite" above the family garage.
Nine months later his wile gave birth
to a boy. While she was suffering wiih
labor pains, James squeezed cows' udders.
His boss, her father, wouldn't let him off
work to go to the hospital.
Pearl Harbor was attacked one month
after they married. During the war some
farmers were exempted from the draft on
the theory they were producing necessary
goods for the war effort. But James hated
working on the farm. He had to get away.
"Instead of a nine-to-five job," he says
now, "it was more like five-to-nine."
He and his young family moved into
High Point and James had little trouble
finding a job in a mill loading trucks and
performing other manual labor.
Able-bodied men were in short supply.
Meanwhile his father-in-law notified the
local draft board that he was no longer
living on the farm, making him eligible
for the draft.
But Uncle Sam never sent greetings.
And living in the big city was ecstasy.
"1 couldn't believe I was getting off
work at five o'clock," James said. "It was
like getting out of prison. You had all
that time to go home and relax. There
was plenty of time to eat and you didn't
have to go to bed right after supper."
Not much was going on in High Point
in the 1940s (there isn't much now) but
there was a hell of a lot more th.-re than
in Randleman.
'"Paved strcet beat mud and du! jh
day." he said with a chuckle. "It wjs
nice, on unny afternoons to get in the
old car and drive around town. Ami wen
it we didn't have the spare charge for ue
cream or a hot dog. it j nice jut beir
together. And away from the in-!av"
James moved slowly up the financial
ladder through years of toil and sacrifice.
He tried not to worry when expense
piled up.
"The most important thing you can
remember," he told me. "is not to worry
about where your next meal or the
money for all those bills is coming from
It doesn't pay to worry. You'll get gray
hairs and the bills still won't be paid. Jut
work hard and trust in the Lord to take
care of you."
From dock laborer, machine operator
and insurance salesman to painter,
carpenter and finally department manager
in a plant. It's certainly not the pinnacle
of success by some people's standards but
he's satisfied.
Since those tough early years he's
built a large new home and put two
children through colleg?. One will
graduate this spring. When you ask him
where. the youngest will get a degree, his
eyes glow with pride and he says.
"Carolina," with an air of conceit.
No, he's not rich financially. But try to
convince him he's not wealthy.
"I've got my health, a good family and
a lot of friends. What more could anyone
want?"
