Editorial Comment
—— ir*cr
We hope that you attended
the open house of the Yancey
County Public Library last Fri
day evening. The Burnsville
Woman’s Club deserves appre
ciation for arranging a most
pleasant way of getting citizens
of the county better acquainted
with their library, and for giv
ing well-earned recognitton to
our two librarians, Mrs. Le-
Fevre and Mrs. Thomas.
Our county library *is handi
capped by a shortage of funds,
of staff, and of facilities. It
owns less than y 2 a book for
each person in the qounty. Yet
our devoted librarians make up
for these handicaps in large
8 measure by their effort and in
genuity in connecting books and
people. As was pointed out last
week in the news story of the
library open house, Yancey
readers have access through the
county library to many other
books and services.
If you did not get to the
special open house Friday, re
member that the library holds
“open house” every afternoon
Wednesday through Saturday.
Although the Woman’s Club
will not be on hand serving cake
and punch, you will have an op
portunity to become acquainted
with your county library and to
find reading material on any
subject that interests
Our county library deserves
many friends to give it intelli
gent support and help it become
even more of a gold mine of
education, recreation, and in
spiration.

We read of a peroidical which
boasted of such hawk-eyed proof
readers that it offered a stand
ing reward for every typograph
ical error and mis-spelled word
which might be reported by any
of its readers.
Uncle Josh says: “I shore
wishes the Yancey Record would
do that fer just a few weeks,
ontil I could c’lect enuff reward
money fer to take me a rale
fishin trip down to Florida or
somers. Course them toppygraf

words don’t bother me as much
as. they do my ritin pardner. 1

much book larnin.
“Back in my days only had
four months o schoolin per year
an jus one skull marm to the
neighborhood. Boys anti girls
hoofed it to school and back

fer to pick up half-froze child

in fact. We’uns traveled wagon
roads, ’cept when we went
through the pasters an wood
lands fer a short cut.

TO SAVE
I shall go out to meet the
morning
Long before the sun is bright,
Listen to gladness, hear th
robins
Saying “Hello” to light.
I shall breathe in the cooling
freshness, '*
Look at the wonder of ‘dawn
unfurled,
Sing with nature’s majestic
glory
To joy with all the world.
Seeing the green of new creation
Fills up my soul and makes me
glad. o
Work and faith are abroad in
springtime ,
To save, lest men go mad.

alius seemed to git along.
Politicks didn’t seem to have
nothin atall to do with edication
in them days. In fact, you’d
never a knowed ary thing 'bout
politicks, had it not ben fer a
few fights to liven things up
on 'lection day.
“Back then school tuck in at
eight in the mornin an lot out
at four in the atternoons. That
give us kids plenty time to get
home an work a couple hours
afore night. You see they wern’t
no druggin stores whar we cud
stop on the way to eat ice cream,
drink soda pops an read free
comick books, er giggle an flirt
fer an hour or so. Besides we
had home work to do, an I don’t
mean the kind they do now-a
days with pencil in paper, a
sittin in a good \ cozy chair,
while the daddies and mamas
do all the outside work. No
siree, Bob. Our home work in
them days was mostly did in the
bean patch, the cornfield and
the woodpile. Nowadays school
take in 'bout mid-mornin, an
lets out by mid-atternoon. Boys
an girls all ages come an go fer
miles in school Busters, over
dangerous roads. Them as walks
has more time to loaf. ’Course
them as have.; Tellitvisfons at

schools,—theys so many kids
art so many teachers, an so e
many districts, an so aany dol
lars, an so many, politicks an
polytiddaifo, they’une can’t find,
enuff room fer ’em. So, the Idee
is to build one main , high
School en every County, an do
away with all the leetle schools,
haul more kids in more school
Busters, over more miles of
dangerous highways, hire more
teachers, fire more teachers,
give more people a bigger rake

i Whee-ee-ee. Seemedas though
i I never would get Uncle Josh
stopped. Now there is only
i room to add that on Saturday,
May 7th, at a busy intersection
in the town of Burnsville, pe
destrians were forced to walk
out into the street to get around
an automobile that had been
parked on the sidewalk in front
of a place of business. It stay
ed there for quite a while too.
This is only one of numerous
similar instances. Please, Mr.
Mayor, and gentlemen of the
' town Board, and Law enforce
ment officers, for the safety of
‘.those who have to walk, —and
. there are a few such left in our
town,—will you’ please put a
’ stop to this nuisance and hazard
caused by parking cars on the
sidewalks anywhere within our
incorporate limits. THANK
