D. B. Alderman. Pastor A
Burnsville Methodist Church
The other day a lady hand
ed my wife a good thought
which I wish to pass on to
you. It is adapted from the
Roster of the First Church f
Springfield, Mass.
“Last Sunday, I voted to
close my Church. I didn’t do it
intentionally, and certainly
not maliciously, but I did.
Through thoughtfulness, care
lessness or laziness. I voted.
I voted to close the doors that
have been open for three cen
turies. I voted for the pastor
to stop his preaching. I voted
that the children no longer re
ceive Christian nurture, but
should grow up only with the
earthly ideas of tfhe street and
school. I voted away every or
ganization in my Church. I
voted that the voice of the
choir should be stilled. I voted
for the darkness of supersti
tion and the degrading poison
of godliness, for the blight of
unrestained selfishness to set
tle its damnable load upon the
shoulders of an already over
burdened world. I voted for all
this, and more, too—things
the human mind does not ever
care to think about. Carelessly,
lazily, indifferently, I voted.
You see, I could have gone and
should have gone, but I didn’t.
I STAYED AWAY FROM
CHURCH LAST SUNDAY.”
I think it would be good to
reread this and keep it around
to remind us of what we do by
not going to the Church of
which we are a part of. Then
next Sunday when we arise let
these thoughts come to our at
tention. Asking ourselves:
“How am I going to vote
today?”

; YOUNG NAMED TO N. C.
! SAFETY COMMITTEE
Joe Young, Banks-Young
i Motor Company, has been nam
ed to serve on the Highway
Safety Committee of the North
Carolina Automobile Dealers
Association it was revealed
today by T. A. Williams,
Greensboro, chairman of the
committee.
In making the announce
ment, Williams pointed out
that Young will represent the
• dealers in Yancey County in
! the planning and promotion of
a program designed to increase
highway safety.
At their recent convention,
the members of the Dealer As
sociation unanimously adopted
two resolutions, relative to
highway safety, ’ which were
presented by the safety com
mittee. They endorsed a state
financed driver-training pro
gram in the high schools, with
cars to be furnished by the
dealers. At the present time a
number of North Carolina dea
lers do lend new cars without
cost to the schools. The assem
bled dealers also went on re
cord as favoring a workable
vehicle inspection law.
Chairman Williams indicat
ed his pleasure at Young’s ac
ceptance of this appointment
and expressed the hope that
his committee, working with
other new car and truck deal
ers and the people of North
Carolina, will be able to pro
vide some answer to the prob
lem of increasing highway ac
cidents. . ■

Wind In Mountain Pines
The wind is wonderful—be.
neath
The pines I close my eyes—
How I love the roaming wind
Playing in the skies.
Upon a distant hill it has
The sound of far-off seas,
Then nearer, nearer, wave on
wave
Breaking through the trees.
Then farther, farther, wave on
wave,
Receeding through the trees —
Upon a distant hill it has
The sound of far-off seas.

38 PERCENT INCREASE IN
NATIONAL FOREST PAY
MENTS TO COUNTIES
Tenntative figures, just re
leased by the U. S. Forest Ser
vice, indicate a 38 percent in
crease in payments to Yancey
and Mitchell counties from the
1952 Fiscal Year receipts of
the Pisgah National Forest.
(Final confirmed figures and
payments will come from|
Washington.)
Toecane District Forest Ran
ger, George Vitas, stated at
Burnsville, that the payment
will average 12.8 cents foi
every acre of National Forest
land in each of the two coun
ties. With 13,031 acres of Na
tional Forest land in Yancey
County, the payment to the
county should be $3,974.94.
Mitchell County, with * 15,554
acres of National Forest land
is slated to receive Slflwoao
Tiiese payments, Ranger
; Vitas said, will be made under
the federal law that provides
for the payment of 25 percent
of the annual income from Na
tional Forest lands to the cou
nties in which the forest is
located, in proportion to the
acreage of National Forest land
therein. The law further pro
vides that these funds can be
used, only, for schools and
roads in the county.
Last year’s payment to the
counties was 9.3 cents per acre.
This year’s 12.8 cents per acre
payment represents a 38 per
cent increase and reflects the
growth in Pisgah National
Forest timber business.
In commenting on the sched
uled payments, Ranger Vitas
stated that trees are a crop,
like corn, tobacco, apples or
any other crop grown on the
land, and should be harvested
when ripe, or they go to waste.
The policy of the U. S. Forest
Service is to protect this tim
ber, grow it and then have it
cut in such away that there is
always an amyle reserve of the
best growing stock from which
timber can be harvested per
iodically to provide an income
to the federaL and local govern
ments and jobs for local resi
dents.
Ranger Vitas said that with
the Pisgah National Forest’s
contribution to the support of
local schools and roads, all
citizens of Yancey and Mitch
ell counties have a stake in the
Forest. With the people’s con
tinued cooperation in forest
fire prevention nad internet
and help in forest conserva
tion, this income should con
tinue to increase, he declared.
After all, he concluded, every
dollar put into the county
treasury from the sale and
cutting of National Forest tim
ber, means that it is one less
dollar that the citizens of Yan
cey and Mitchell counties will
have to reach into their pockets
for in financing the operation
of the counties.
CARD OF THANKS
We want to express our ap
preciation for all the kindness
shown us during the sickness
and death of our sister, Mrs.

THE YANCEY BECOB9 1
Playbouse Premier A
Success
Ringing applause for John
Barry Kelly, playwright, and
members of the cast Friday
night was proof that “Gulbra
nic’s Panic", which premiered
at the Parkway Playhouse,
was u hit to the Burnsville
audience. In a short curtain
speech, Kelly modestly gave
all the credit for the play’s
success to the actors and to
Director Gordon Bennett.
The play is a satire on the
political system in general and
on women’s rights in particu
lar. The situation used is new
and novel. The author has a
girl appointed to the Military
Academy at West Point by a
Congressman who does not
realize he hag done anything
out of the ordinary.
In the leading role, the auth
or’s wife, Blanche Kelly, gave
a very fine performance. Dave
Stern, as Gulbranic, kept the
audience laughing; and Lester
Moore, a staff member at the
Art School, did a fine job of
his comedy part as the harass
ed husband of. Mrs. Kenyon.
Jack Callaghan and Anne
Miller, furnishing the love in
terest in the play, got a lot out
of their scenes. Bob Gwaltney,
took the only bit part in the
production and added to the
