The Chimes Ring
For Carl Boyer
Everyone whose heart is in tune
with the Spirit of Christmas thrills
with the treasured story of "Why
The Chimes Rang." One remem
bers that it was a very young per
son who laid upon thealtar a gift
of sacrificial love tha^SrclugrR^orth
the crystalline tones of the chimes
which people had waited so long to
hear. Down through the years
the Christmas Chimes have con
tinued to ring, whenever there
were laid upon the altar such gifts
as loving and sacrificial living,
generous deeds of kindness, or
heroic death.
On December 9, at Oteen Hos
pital, Carl Boyer, a former stu
dent at Western Carolina Teach
ers College, died. Carl was only
twenty-three years of ago. Not
many of his college-mates knew
of his talent for writing and of his
yearning for a college education
which, he felt, would give him the
training he needed to become the
writer he wanted to be.
Carl was a student in the truest
sense of the word. The well-worn
expression "a burning thirst .for
knowledge" i$ not trite in its ap
plication to Carl Boyer. A few
weeks after he ented Oteen Hos
pital for the fourth tijjie he wrote:
MI remember glancing during
class at my watch and watch
ing the second hand tick
away into minutes and think
ing that each ticking of my
watch bringing me nearer
to the day when I might consider
myself an 'educated man' in the
broad sense. I knew by the time
T finished the courses necessary
for my degree I would be equip
ped with the tools with which to
begin my work. The rest would
be up to me. Now my goal has
receded into the distance and
has taken its place in the realm
j of dreams. However, that is an
I objective I will never completely
lose sight of."
Carl's urge to write was an im
perative force in his life, although

he was conscious of his own limi
tations. His soul responded to
beauty in various /orms?euphony
of words, music of exquisite
sweetness, and passages of litera
ture deepening the emotions. His
imagination Was quickened by
these responses, and word pictures
came to him. Three days before
his death .he wrote a story that
was accepted for publication by
the editors of the paper published
at Oteen Hospital. In spite of his
youth, Carl seems to have caught
the essence of greatness in writing;
for, with reference to creative ex
pression, he said:
"It's the simple things in life
that have the most meaning.
Stories containing dashing char
acters and high drama an<$ all the
rest of it, have their importance,
but when a person can sit down to
a peaceful evening by the fireplace
with a story of human interest,
he reaches the last page with a
smile on his face and a chuckle in
his heart."
One cannot predict with cer
tainty what a young man twenty
three years of age might have- at
tained, had he lived. But the
magnificent courage with which
Carl Boyer faced death has left a
more lasting impression upon the
author of this tribute to him than
anything he might have written.
He had tasted the sweetness of
life and wanted more of it. He
was sustained to the end with
hope, yet it was with the full
knowledge of what results might
be-that he submitted to an opera
tion that cost his life. These were
his words on the eve of death:
"In spite of the fact that every
thing points in favor of the opera
Parents Can Spoil
Children's Play
Here's a Christmas resolution for
parents. It's one that ought to be
made before New Year's resolu
tions are even considered. It goes,
"I will keep my hands off the chil
dren's toys -?11 day on Christmas."
It'll be a hard one to keep be
cause Mother likes to fuss with
Ann's doll. She pretends she is
shewing Ann how to put on the
bonnet, but she's actually having
a grand time playing. And 6r.ee
Father gets his hands on the train,
or the auto that winds up, the boys
can't get near them.
It isn't fair. The children are
crying for a little peace and free
dom. After all, adults can play
with toys for the next 364 days if
they want-to.
tion, the5fc are moments when
shadows cross my mind, and I
catch myself staring out of the
window?and wondering."
Within thejorief span of twenty
three years this young man with
high aspirations, noble character,
and gentleness of spirit endeared
himself to many and left the world
a richer, finer place because he
lived. There lies upon the sac
rificial altar of Carl Boyer's life
all his ambitions, his hopes and
dreams of the future; and the
chimes ring out gloriously for him,
in clear, liquid tones, as he leaves
to his lovely wife, his two young
sons, and to his friends a priceless
heritate?the memory of a beauti
ful soul.
