PAGE TWO THE YANCEY RECORD ESTABLISHED JULY, 1986 Editor & Publisher Amoy Fox Published Every Thursday By i YANCEY PITBUSHING CO. A Partnership ” Entered as second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the peat Office, Burnsville, North Carolina, under the act of March 3, 1879, “Through This Preacher's Study Window” D. B. Alderman, Pastor The Christian way of life gives to mankind a brother-! hood so abundant that it doesn’t matter how busy one 1 gets he does not lose or neg lect his friends. But the big- J gest job in our modern broth- j erhood and friendship is that' it stays in the repair shop most of the time. The faith 3 that our friends invest in us so many times is not lived-up to by our actions. Therefore, we have to be continually at work repairing the life that we should have lived in our daily living. Thus, we find ourselves in the repair busi ness rather than in the living business. Only had we been so dedicated in our true liv-j ing of the Highest sense from the very beginning we would not be patching old garments 3 with new patches Yet, that does not give the real streng-' th, love, and devotion of true Christian brotherhood and friendship that it would have! given had we been what we should have been from the beginning. , # It seems to be a different story here i n ;• V - Rurns ville an d Yancey Mk|ll§f County.

There comes to my mind today acts that have been from the beginning and are continuing through this rich season of year from the good people in Yancey Coun ty. “The Boys”, as it was signed, twenty-three in num ber, certainly expressed their brotherliness and friendship toward this preacher, and to all of them I am very grate ful.

What are we going to do with it? | Will we use it for the glory iof God or try to usi it for for the glory of man? Let’s l make 1952 a great year for the Kingdom of God.

HEMAN JEFF SIGHED DEEPLY and watched the girl disappear over the hill on her pinto pony 1 This was a man’s country. Tire girl had said so. had as much as told him she didn't consider him a man. Or much of a man. He swore under his breath. 'lf it were a man’s country then \ nat was she doing in it? There was cer tainly very little about her limpid brown eyes and soft brown hair and full, curved mouth that was masculine. He looked down at the camera in his hand and scowled. She had been contemptuous when he told her he was a photographer. You could fell by the w’ay her eyes lighted in amusement that she thought taking pictures was for Missies. In fact, anything short of punching cows and riding range was in the category of effeminate occupations, according to her code. It was disgusting. “So you're one of those tour ists!" she had said. "Land! We've enough troubles now what with trying to track 'down cattle rus tlers without having more tourists cluttering up the range.’’ But she hadn't been nearly as vicious as she sounded. He learned that after spending the afternoon with her and listening to hoV tell about the grief the rustlers had been causing the Circle Cross, her father’s ranch. He sighed again. Well, he couldn’t waste time wishing she considered him a real he-man. He had to get some shots to use in the illustrated lecture he was scheduled to deliver next month at the opening of the Adventurer’s Club in Buffalo. Real western stuff was what he wanted. Something genuine. He clucked to his horse. It was a fine, bright day, with the dis tant hills clear-etched against a ■'pie horizon.

His l uad stopped on the edge of a cliff Beneath him was a little green park with a. small huddle of buildings. Men and horses and cattle were moving about. There was an open fire. Jeff squinted, iio-.v smoke! They were branding! <ust exactly what he wanted! None cf your new fangled gadgets either. An open fire and a home made branding! Jeff unslung his movie camera, adjusted telescope sights and set to work. Within an hour, maneu vering from one point on the qliff lo another, he had acquired what he believed would be several reels of one of the most picturesque west ern occupations.

Ten days later they were returned and he treated himself to a showing in his bedroom and was delighted with the results. A happy thought occurred to him then. Even a girl like Nan Grisw’old of the Circle Cross couldn’t help admiring pic tures like those. Tha.t was art. He'd take them out and show them to her. Maybe she'd catch on to th< fact that photography wasn't such i stupid business after all. lUTAN GREETED HIM SOBER LY. In fact, there was a de pressing air about flu: whole ranch The, rpstlers, it seemed, had suc ceeded in making another cleanup and the sheriff from Valley’s End, accompanied by a picked posse, had failed to unearth the faintest clue. "I’ve got something that will cheer you up!" Jeff eagerly. "You won't belieye you live in such a gorgeous country when you see these pictures. Real stuff, loo.’’ Nan smiled at him wanly, indul gently. “Anything for a laugh," she said. “Let’s see your movies, Mr. Tenderfoot.’’ They darkened the living room and tacked up a sheet and Jeff sc-i up his'projector. He couldn’t §t. Nan’s face, but he did see hri. stiffen when the film was hal through. He thought; “Maybe I'm making a hit at that." Suddenly she leaped to her feet. “Where did you take those pic tures? Tell me quick!" "I haven’t the faintest ide»," Jeff said, bewildered. "In a gully near where we were riding that day." , ■"Can you take me to the place" "I guess so. Why?" “Why?” she cried. "Wuic tier* ' Jeff waited. He thought she’d crazy. He thought her father and brother had too. Then they told him that he'd blundered on to the rendezvous of the rustlers and taken pictures of them changing brands. The telescopic sight made it possible to recognize not only the Circle Cross cattle but the thieves as well. It was late at night when t.:t posse returned. Jeff was still at f **•- *v tale of the capture he went out to his horse. Nan went with him. "You’ll have to stay here longer than you intended,” she said. "The court will want to see those films." "I’ll be back," he said. “11l bring the films with me.” She hesitated, staring at him in tlie dim light. "Come back some time without the excuse of bring ing the films. Dad—and I—would like to have you cluttering up the place—” Jeff laughed softly. He took her hand and held it for a long time. “O. K.,’’ he said. “I like this country. I like you. I’d like to be come a he-man." "You are a he-man," Nan r, plied just as softly. "A real o.u And—and I like you, too.” NOTICE OF SERVICE OF SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION In The Superior Court NORTH CAROLINA YANCEY COUNTY E<li(h Buchanan Hensley, Plaintiff vs. Hobart Hensley, Defendant The defendant, Hobar Hensley, will please take , not ice that an action entitled as above has been commenced in the Superior Court of Yan cey County, North Carolina, tor an absolute divorce on the Vrounds ol two years separa i<>n* and the defendant will further take notice that he is required to appear at the of fice of the Clerk of the Super ior Court for Yancey County at the Courthouse in Burns il!p, N.

Before socles are used, n. .1 cardboard or heavy brown pap; impressions of them by tracing i paper; or, buy forms to the coi reel size. Socks should be washes aftet each wearing so bpd.y salts anr. acids as well as perspiration stains do not dry in the wool fibers and cause them to rot and weaken. Use warm, tepid water. Flick some on your wrist and if you can’t feel it, this is the temperature to use for your v.oo’.ens. Make nice fluffy suds for the washing.

Dec. 6-13—20—27 \ Have You Ever Wondered... ? 4; VVs have a small gas heater used ;o heat one room. It is connected with the chimney through about ;even feet of three-inch pipe. Can you tell me uhat percentage of the j ! neat might be lost up the t.iimney? A: Experiments that have been, made on heat transfer from such .eaters under average conditions .ndieate that you might expect .bout 45 per cent of the heat to be ;sed from the stove itself in warni ng the air and about 25 per cent - ,-om the stove pipe. Thus some hing like 30 per cent would be lost n the flue gases that go up the chimney. Q: What is it that makes the lakes of snow slick together in a snowball? A: Ice may be melted under pressure. Thus, it is the pressure ol .he skates that makes ice skating possible. The weight of the skater, pushing down on the runners against the ice, causes it to melt, and temporarily provides a thin qim of water over which the skates may easily glide. When you form a snowball, the pressure of your hands causes the snowflakes, which 3 re crystals of ice, to melt at a ew pain s where they touch. After you let go. the pressure is released and the water refreezes, joining the crystals tightly together. In very cold weather it is difficult if not mpossible to make a snowball, be cause then you cannot exert enough pressure with your hands to cause such melting. Q: What is the scientific distinction between weight and mass? * ***&£s'• K '* , ’ ' A • %?«***'• 1 j We’ll always have a light ii the window for you- jSSJyHp the best friends we’ve known 195 Z r Pollard’s Drug Store Rw^# v •'**» ••"’*■»% pit .1 \ For being the <'jttjL friends you’ve been, heortfelt t honks 00 HAPPY -;.- * > e .' 1 < 'N Roberts & Johnson i FEIRSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1951 A; Weight is a measure of the attraction which the Earth's gray!-, tation exerts on an object, and in our usual experience is the same as 3 the object’s mass, which is de j termined by the actual amount of ! matter it contains. Both are ordi | narily measured by the same units, such as pounds and ounces in the Avoirdupois System, or kilograms and grams in the Metric System. However, even on the Earth’s sur face the weight of an object varies somewhat. Because of the centrif ugal force of the Earth’s rotation, it weighs slightly less at the equa tor than it would at the poles, even though its mass is the same. Out in interplanetary space, away from the attraction of the Earth or an other planet, it would have no weight, although it would still have mass. Q: Have some anlmaU become ex tinct in recent years? A: Yes, especially birds. Perhaps the most famous is the dodo, a large f. a ,h'.less pigeon that used to live on the island of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean. It was extermi nated during the 17ih century, ap parently by pigs that Europeans introduced. These animals ate its eggs and young. Probably the most recent similar case is that of ftie heath hen which was once very common in the North Atlantic states. After it had been extermi nated on the mainland by hunters, its last sanctuary was on Martha’s Vineyard, but the last known In dividual there died in 1931. About 110 species of birds have become extinct in historic times
