RANDOM THOUGHTS
by Doris Burton
Td like to tell you about a cer
tain book which I have recently
read and which I think every hu
man being should read, especially
during such, trying times as these.
Doctors .all over the country re
port that at least 60% of all ill
nesses are a direct result of ten
sion, or what we call “nerves".
Why is this, do you suppose? Our
churches are fuller every Sunday
than they have been at any time
in history. So we must put the
blame on something besides our
Spiritual existences.
Can, it be that we have simply
forgotten how to Live? There is a
certain book in my library which
I wish every single one of you
could read. It’s called “Life is Fdt
Living” and isn’t that a wonder
ful phrase? This book wa» written
with no other thought in mind ex
cept giving to each of us a deeper
insight into the reasons why we
think and act as we do. Once we
understand these things we stop
worrying about them. We find our
selves free to go about the business
of living in our own way, without
inhibitions and time-worn dogmas
tagging at our heeis and making
our lives miserable.
As it is now: most of us live

** # *
Over and over, week after week,
the above note appears at the
heading of this column. Repeated- 1
ly, from the very beginning of this I
effort we have tried to boost and
champion the good, the true, and
the right. Just as sincerely and
un-compromisingly we have sou
ght to expose and denounce the
evil, the false and the wrongs
which endanger the safety, well
being and privileges of the major
ity, and which reproach the good
name of our County.
It is inevitable, in pursuing such
a course, that some should be of
fended, and that others will disa
gree with the ideas expressed.
Frankly, the writer has not sought
tb please everybody. Long experi
. ence in dealing with the public has
taught him that it is utterly im
possible to please all, and absurd
to even try. But at the same timej

our entire lives according to pat
terns laid out for us by our friends
and relatives. We must do this!
We must not do that! Or else!
Believe me, we can be freed from
all these hide-bound rules without
so much as lowering a single one
of our moral standards. All one
needs is a knowledge of the in
centives and the basic motivations
that, drive us and a recognition of
our potentialities and limitations.
This book was written for those
of us who are groping and strug
gling through life today, and just
about everyone I know is doing
just that.
Our Spiritual faith can work
miracles for us, but we can’t ex
pect a miracle every day that
passes. So, between the times
when we feel like calling on God
for the Big Things, let’s keep our
Bible at our fingertip’s, God at
bur side, and then —learn to live
according to the concepts of the
afore-mentioned book. We must
learn to combine the spiritual and
the emotional sides of our natur
es if we are ever to be whole,
happy individuals.
Life is for living, and it was
given to each of us by an Almighty
God for that purpose. So let’s live!
it has not been bis desire or pur
pose to hurt or injure any indi
vidual.

Preachers in their pulpit mes
sages will offend some in their
congregations, if they prdach the
whole counsels of God without
fear or favor. It is safe to say that
pny preacher who remains popu
lar with all classes tor any length
of time is failing to denounce #)j)
and un-righteousness, wherever it
may be found, either within the
church or in the civic life of the
I community. And yet the preacher
I who pronounces God’s lyyath and
condemnation up<y* sin and sin
ners is not necessarily trying to'
expose or hurt any individual
thereby.
# -N* # #
Simply stated, “VIOLET RAYS
ON OUR WAYS” is trying to do a
type of preaching in Yancey
County that cannot very well be
done from the pulpits of the dif
ferent churches, but which we sin
cerely feel needs to be done. We
have often said that there are
others in the Couniy, and at the
County-seat who should do this
writing instead Os the present au
thor. Apd any time someone else
wants the job, and will show his
willingness to follow the same
' policy we have tried to maintain,

Delightful Production Os “As
You Like It” Parkway Playhouse
By Hope Bailey
: With a keen and delightful per
formance last week-end of Shake
speare’s comedy, “As You Like
It”, the Parkway Playhouse re
tained its pre-eminence in the
presentation of productions that
are brilliant and entertaining.
No wonder local play-goers con
tinue to patronize the Playhouse,
or that out-of-town visitors come
to Burnsville' especially to attend
the Playhouse productions. The
young artists along with the more
experienced actors, under the dir
ection of Gordon Bennett, contin
ue to show their skill by giving
us excellent productions.
“As You Like It”, staged by
Hilmar Sallee and presented in
the Amphitheatre, was a well
polished and beautiful production.
Shakespeare wrote it to please, and
1 the young actors gave a pleasing
production. It had romance, fun,
and a touch of mystery; and was
not at all -obscure or difficult to
understand.
Jeannie Hotard’s role is the
core of the story, and she was a
first-rate Rosalind. MUu Uotard
gave the play flavor, balance and
excitement with her vibrant and
versatile performance as the dau
ghter of the banished Duke, char
acterized by Eli Dei Sette. Fred
erick, played by Ed Anderson, has
usurped his brother's dominions
and seat him into exjle. Bqth An
derson and Del Sette were up to
their roles and gave fine charac
terizations.
Sharron Frye gave an excellent
portrayal as Celia, the daughter
of Frederick. When Rosalind,
dressed as a young countryman,
sets out to seek her father, Celia
goes with her into the Forest of
Arden where the main part of the
we will gi&djy let him take over.
But until another volunteers for
the task, or as long as we «f#y
continue to prepare these articles
it shaft fee Dope with malice to
ward none, but witji the common
good of ail in mind. Wherever w/s
' find good deeds that deserve eom_-
’ mendation, —they will get it. And
wherever we find evil deeds, care
lessness and neglect, cheap poli
ty, or wrong practices in any
; SpJlfTf of life that deserve to be
exposed and poijdfmned, they
will get it too,
** * *
I We like to sec all people
living and working together in
peace and harmony, and every
j body sharing together to make
our County and Gophty-seat town
favorably known through-out tlie
, state and nation. And if all the
’ good people will stick together
* and work together for the com
’ mon happiness and prosperity of
5 all, there is no end to the growth
and progress that can be realized.
’ But before we may hope to see
too much accomplished the law
abiding citizens of every commun
ity will have to stiffen their back
-1 bones and take a militant stand
against the evils and ’ftie cheap
! selfish practices that are all too
1 plainly in evidence on many
fronts. ’Nuff Sed.

THE YANCEY RECQEP
play takes place.
W. C. “Mutt” Burton as Jaque#,
the melancholy -philosopher, was
convincing in his role as a lord at
tending bn the banished Duke.
Burton’s performancs was not on
ly excellent in Itself—it also gave
further proof of his extraordinary
gifts as an actor.
As Touchstone, the clown, Andy
Ptine’s performance was thorough
ly spontaneous, amusing and en
tertaining. He played his comedy
scenes with a quickness of wit
and a headlong manner that ex
pressed Shakespeare's >common
touch. yv
A notable performance ws m giv
en by Jim Reynolds as Ornmdo,
He is in love with Rosalind \nd
passes his time writing love notes
to her, attaching them to the trees
in the Forest of Arden, and being
coached in the ways of a lover by
the disguised Rosalind. Warren
Hansen as Oliver, brother of Or
lando who falls in love with Celia
at first sight, was convincing in
his role.
Carol Turner as Phebe, a shep
herdess; and Jerry Thomas a.s
Silvius, a shepherd In love with
Phebe, both~gave delightful and
entertaining performances. Eva
Lee Savage, who portrayed Aud
rey. gave an amusing performan
ce •»% the country lass who falls In
Irve with Touchstone.
Robert Gwaltney gave an ex
cellent characterization of Adam,
servant to Oliver, who deserts his
master to follow Orlando jptp the
Forest of Arden. Gwaltney suc
ceeded in making his role out
standing and realistic.
There were fine peFfflJTnapce#
by Vic Helou as Amiens, a lord atr
tending on the banished Duke,
, whose rich singing of old baftads
enriched the production; Bernie
Rosenblatt as Le Beau, a courtier
' attending on Frederick; Paul Bur
ton as Jaques de Boys, brother of
Orlando and Oliver; and Vince
Maroley tu> jiff Oliver Mjartext, a
vicar.

vaot to Oliver; Pat Martinelli as
a lord; Chuck Drozd as First
Lord; Ntek Pisaris as Second
Lord; Diana Winner, Mary Uhl
mann and Maxias Fisher as at
tendants.
As I watched this brilliant pro
duction under the stars and the
night sky, the woodland scenes in
the Amphitheatre possessed a pas
toral charm. The colorful costum
es were wonderfully theatrical
and convey#d the varying tones
of the play in the contrasts 4ps w h
between the rpde strength of the
country dress and the stunning
elegance of the nobility.
As the pj§y ends, all problems
are resolved and the
Duke is returned to his kingdom.
Marital scene climaxes the
production by uniting the four
happy couple#, who evidentially
live happily ever after, This final
scene in the play fairly burst with
galty and light-heartedness as the
couples danced a beautiful Eng
lish folk dance. Such merry-mak
ingg—esmd-be nowhere but 'in
Shakespeare's beautiful green
wood in the Forest of Arden.
