J Prov it ? ? _ Winter Arrival In A Hurry In the language of a football coach, winter hit hard, fast and low the first of last week. The snow on the mountainsides presented a picture which many |?eople had never seen before, because most of the leaves are still on the trees. The white blanket of snow un derneath the brown leaves presented an un usual sight. lite realistic folk could see more than just the white covering of snow. They could see the sijow eventually flowing into wells and springs which have become dry over the ex tended drought of the late summer and fall. To the fire fighters in the forests, the blankfct of snow meant added protection to the powder-dry leaves which in some areas have been smouldering for weeks. ' Somehow, Mother Nature always pro vides, in time, what we sometimes become so impatient in seeking. * ? -?V ' ? .lunoalusku Then were some folks up at Lake Juna- > luska this summer. accordinj; to University Professor Olin T. Mouzon, who lost a maid somewhere. and there is only one mysterious and nit her startling elue to her whereabouts. The people had arranged for the maid to come up to their place at .lunaluska in June, and she didn't show up. July came and went, and no maid. August passed. No maid. Then, as summer was about to depart the moun tains of Western North Carolina, they re ceived a post card from the wandering maid, forwarded from Alaska. The message on it: "Arriving next week." It had been addressed to Lake Juno. Alaska.

Soiisa's Music Still Causes I s To Pat Our Feet A deeper appreciation for good "music has la'en acquired here in Waynesville in the past 15 years,due in part, to the interest in the high school band. At almost every concert, or public appear ance of one of the bands, there is likely to be a march by the famous John Phillip Sousa. And in that connection, it is interesting to note that Sousa was born 10b years ago last Saturday November fith. Few men have written band music which stirred men and women like that of Soiisa's. Sousa became a member of the Marine band at Id. lie told his father he was going to join a circus, but instead, slipped over toi talk to the commander of the Marines. He] served -seven years with the Viand as an ap prentice musician before returning to civil- i ian life. ! Later when he became conductor of the Marine Hand, he saw many <>l' his marches pain prominence in the musical world, and he acquired the title of "March Kins:" President Chester A. Arthur requested ( Sousa to write something to take the place of "Hail to the Chief." The hand leader j wrote "Presidential Polonaise" for White < House indoor affairs, and "Semper Fidelis". for outside reviews. Sousa was a diplomat, and once while on a southWh tour with the Marine Hand. , found hospitality a hit chilly. He arranged his concert program with "Dixie" between every number, and he had a successful tour. 1 and the South loved him. as did Americans ' everywhere. After leaving the Marine Hand to become a director for a private concert at more than four times the military salary, he went on tour in Kurnpe. and at one concert had an audience'of l">2.7(>f) paid admissions. lie re-enlisted for the duration of World War I. and after the Armistice, began his "><) Week tour a year, and then cut down to the .Tilly-December tours. In the off season he played poll' at Pinchurst, and wrote more music. On March (5. l!t.">2, the 78-year-old band leader conducted a band rehearsal. That night he passed away. Ope vvriter of Sousa's life said that the man who created music which stirred the spirit of America in the-hearts of millions was patriotic to the end. lie died in the Abraham Lincoln Hotel, in Heading.

"A Stillness of Appomattox" ^ ( \ , i. |" A hmi; time ttya, Rmluiht Kipling remaikcil that the soliliif is a national . a urn anil n foiyollcn man as soon n\ peace comes. i In a democracy, thai is only natural. We have no militaristic traJition and we do not want one. The citteen-soldier steps fotssaid in emergency to do his duty?doing it *o heroically and faithfully, incidentally, that to date he has always turned out to be a better fighter than lite hopped-up, over-drilled professionals from the totalitarian stales I -rand then he goes b.tck to civilian life. His war-time experiences belong with the past. I They become part of the haunting and abiding memories that go to make up our I national heritage. I But in thousands of cases the soldier docs not get off so easily. He has something I that he cannot simply tile away with his memories: a painful reminder that he can never escape from not even for a moment, as long as he may live?of the price thai is soiitetimes exacted of the man who serves his country in battle. I Unit mains the disabled veteran: the man who took wounds that will not heal, who went back to the peace-time round wholly or partially handicapped and for whom v I I there can never be a complete and linal healing. He cannot forget. His tragedy is that the rest of us unfortunately can. Too often we do foiget, even though we arc permanently in his debt. >* I November 11 i. Veterans Day : a day set aside, by act of Congress and Presidential I pnvl.ini.ttion,. to honor the memory of those who served in war. It has particular reference to the living for it is on Memorial Day that we pay our tribute to the men I I I who never a'njc hjck and unless the day is to be a complete mockery it must include a renewed awareness of our obligation to the disabled cx-soldier. The Disabled American I Veterans the D \ \ ?aptly points out that the disabled serviceman is asking for . - J nothing mote than a fair chance to make his own way in the world. I lie doesn't particularly want tears, and he is not demanding huge appropriations J j from the public treasury.. What he docs Want is the kind of sy mpathetic understanding and active support that will make it easier for him to resume his place, in spite of I j physical handicaps, as a regular member of society. ' II I hat is not very much lor hint to ask. and it is assuredly the very least that wc can I I give. If wc feel a sense of continuing obligation for services rendered, and make it a I point to discharge that obligation in the attitude'that wc carry over into our regular workaday routine, life for the disabled veteran will be a good*deal easier and happier. I here could be no better time than Veterans Day for us to renew our awareness of ? what wc owe to the man who uvok wounds :rt battle?for us. j | I Looking Back Through The Years !0 YEARS VGO 10 YEARS AGO 5 YEARS AGO Fire completely destroys barn of John M Queen in the Hatcliffej Foye section."
