VIOLET RAYS ONI
OUR WAYS
BY H. M. ALLEY

Note: This column is written with
malice toward none, bat with the
common rood of all in mind
• e
Right at the top of the list of
wholesome, exciting, and thrilling
entertainment available in Burns
ville this week is the Cherokee
Ranceh, Wild West Show which
opens tomorrow night at the Main
Street Show Lot in west Burns
ville Performances will begin
promptly at 8:15 on Friday and
Saturday nights , with an extra
matinee on Saturday afternoon
at 2:30 o’clock.
This show, which has become a
summer attracttion in Burnsville,
is presented by the local Lions
Club, which uses its part of the
financial proceeds in maintaining
its work among the blind as well
as in other worthy civic enterprises.
The local Lions Club deserves pra
ise, not only for the good work it
is doing many unfortunate peo
ple, but for bringing the citizens of
Burnnsville and Yancey County
a real live, honest-toman-rodeo
such as draws multiplied thous
ands of people each year to differ
ent centers throughout the west
The Cherokee Ranch boasts of
having the world’s largest travel
ing wild west rodeo. After seeing
two of their annual performances
here in Burnsville, and having
seen many cowboys, bronc bus
ters, and outlaw horses in the west
itself, this writer assures all the
readers of this column that the
Cherokee Ranch gives its specta
tors the real McKoy in a jam-up,
stomp-down, kicking, bucking,
bawling, hair-raising and spine
tingling wild west show. And
judging by the two performances
we have already witnessed, we do
not hesittate to say that here is an
entertainment that no man need be
ashamed to ask his wife, daughter,
or girl friend to share with him.
Uncle Josh says: “Me, I ’lows
to be on hand fer that thar rodyo,
Iffen Salley, my wife, will spare
me ’nuff of her aig an butter mon
ey fer to buy my ticket. She
mought even go with me, becaze
when she read in the Yancey
Record this last past week ’bout
how the Cherokee Ranch was fet
ching along that big buckin steer
what they galls ‘Black Boy., Salley
says she, 'Josh, I figgers I’d better
go along an see thet ye don’t act
th fool an try to ride that wild
critter a-thinkin ye mought win
the fifty dollars they’uns offer fer
the man what stays on hits back

Wal, I kinder banters around an
brags a leetle ’bout how I'd seed
the day when I c’d a won that
fifty bucks ’thout any trouble a
tall. An I jus about got the ole gal
to thinkin I mout try hit even now.
“Bust my galluses, gentlemens,
as I alius says, the time fer ridin
steers an wild hosses is when a
feilars got limber laigs, an meat
enuff to kiver his bones. As I tells

And won’t let the sun ali.ye

Whom you think is kinda blue,
Extend your hand and give a

This is not the last run mile.
A little more WE and a little
less I i
Will help us be prepared to die.

We wish It were
possible to dateline'
this “Philadelphia,
Pa., July, 1776.”'
Then we could in-|
l t*rv le w Thomas
.Tefferaon, Benjamin Franklin, Pat-,
rick Henry and George Washing
ton, about the Declaration of In
dependence.
They, of course, wouldn’t knowJ
much about what has happened!
, in the past 180 years, but it might
be just as well that they would not.
We could tell them about Wash
ington, D. 0., which none of them
would have heard about, and per
haps show them around.
We would like to see the expres
sions on their faces when we men
tioned that Congress had Just
appropriated 66 billion dollars to
finance the Federal Government
for another 12 months, or that
there are six million people em
ployed by the Government. !
Jefferson would want to visit thej
Capitol. He would wander through,
the great marble halls and look ats
the statues of famous men in;
our history. He would want to,
listen to the debate in the Senate i
and House, but he wouldn’t have!
the foggiest notion about the is-]
sues being discussed. ,
* Washington would want to go
through the White House, and, >
naturally, up in the Monument. He |
would drop around to the State,
Deportment and he would ask Sec- |
retary Dulles If he had read his* 1
speech about avoiding foreign en
tanglements. '
\ Franklin would be interested in '
I visiting the Treasury Department,
; the U. 8. Printing Office, and the
i B' reau of Printing and Engraving.
! He would ask Secretary Humphrey
• about all the taxes being collected
i and the huge sums of money being
(spent. ■ -, .
i Patrick Henry, no doubt, would
: go to see the Supreme Court and
[ marvel at the splendor of the mag
| nifleent building. Very likely he
; would want to snake a speech, and
! we would like to be there to hear it.
! Then we could all go somewhere
and talk about what we had seen
• and heard. We think that the
, thing that would astound them the
' most would not be the Pentagon, l
I or the other huge buildings occu
pied by some 4,000 government
agencies. It might not even be the
, amount of money the Federal Gov
; ernment spends.
JCt would, probably, be the tre
; mendous growth of power and in
fluence which Washington wields 1
i In every part of the world, over the'
46 States, the county and city govr
oroments, and the daily lives of all
, citizens.
t Jefferson would be especially
disturbed, He was a firm believer
' in States’ rights, and In the re
sponsibility -4*l the part of the
' States to look after the welfare pf
the people In matters not speclfl
; rally delegated to the Federal
I Government.
He would pull out of his pocket
» copy of the Bill of Rights, pnd
read aloud the 10th Amendment.
;"The powers not delegated to the
, United States by the Constitution,'
nor prohibited by it to the states,
are reserved to the states respec-,
tively, or to the people."
We would hope that they could
stick around for the argument that
.would start. It is an argument
we will be hearing more about soon;
even if Washington, Jefferson,
Franklin and Henry are not
around to join In.
In just
one day. ..

AUTHOR OF "HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING
WHEN Margaret Mahoney, 1918 Crescent Road. Victoria, B C.,;
Canada, was twelve years of age she started collecting material for
her worry chest called foe subconscious mind. Most of her worry and fear
related to the prolonged and incurable illnesses of her mother, her broth
er and her sister. There was never a time during the twenty years that;
followed when she was not confronted with some form of anxiety about
them. She kept her worry somewhat under control
by a resolution that she never would worry so long
as she had her health and4ier eyesight. But, neverthe
less worry was there. So by and by came a period
when the worries and fears were all jumbled up.
This caused a complete breakdown physically, men-
tally and spiritually, and it was necessary for her to
call for medical help.
The doctors told her they could do twenty-five per
cent of the job of unsnarling the works, but that she
would have to do the rest. This meant turning to God
and applying all the principles of the Christian Faith.
By and by her belief strengthened and she was restored to health of
body, mind and spirit. She declares she now knows what to do when
worry and fear besets her. She no longer stores them away, but deals
with them prayerfully and practically, as they come, for she knows that
] if she does the very best she can every minute that she lives, she will
not be haunted by what is past and she will not fear what is to come. /
Q—Can you foil me what distinction the courts have made as to where
the line is drawn m between agricultural commodities and manufao
• tured products In regard |o regulation pf public carriers by the
Interstate Commerce Commission?
A—On April 23, 1956, tbo Supremo Court ruled that fresh and foweq
dressed poultry la an agricultural commodity and not a manufac>
tured product and aa such was not subject to Interstate Commerce
Regulation In transit. On May 7, 1956, a three-judge Federal Court
In the State of Washington ruled that frozen fruits and frozen vege
tables were agricultural commodities and not manufactured prod
i uct*. In Its April decision, the Supreme Court said: “At some point
|■- processing and manufacturing will merge. But where the commodi
1 ]ty retains continuing substantial identity through the processing
i stage we canhpUsay that it has been manufactured’ within th^
} meaning of Sec. JSJ." The Court Field that frozen poultry had “be
come marketable by Incidental processing.’’ *
Q—What are the prices fixed Wrier foe pew international Wheat agree
ment?
A—Fifty nations have signed the agreement, a new three-year pact,
setting a minimum price of $1.50 and a maximum of $2 per bushel
0 basis on No. 1 Manitoba northern wheat in store In bulk at For)
William-Port Arthur, Canada- The United States guaranteed ex
port under the agreement would b* cut from 197 million to 132 pall*
| lion bushels.
