RANDOM THOUGHTS j_
« by Doris Burton
* Not so hang ago, a famous ma
gazine published a cartoon which
I still think of so often. Two mid
dle-aged women were having
lunch together, and one said to
the other, “I’m so glad I got my
family raised before anyone learn
ed about adolescence!”
Our adolescents now call them
selves “Teen-agers”, but they’re
still the same thing. The only dif
ference is that the parents have '
grown older and can no longer un- 1
derstand or remember how little ■
their own parents seemed to know '
about that certain stage of growth. 1
To those of you who have teen
pge children will any of what I’m
about to write be a surprise. But
to you who have childrenwho will
someday reach this hsnP*&reying
period of growth, don’t just read
this! Memorize it! And remember
that you were forewarned. y
The “Teen-ager" is an unbeliev
able contradiction in human na-i
ture: they love sloppy clothes and
shoes for themselves, but you just
try wearing anything yourself
that isn’t perfect! their hair-do’s
aren’t "keen” unless they’re prac
tically shaved; and their language
is completely unintelligible t o
'most adults. A desirable compan
ion of the opposite sex must be
“Hep, Keen, or Cool.” They
“Boodle” instead of necking as
we used to do; and now they
“Snow” them instead of fooling
them.
They are slower than cold mol
lasses when asked to do a chore
unless there’B someplace to go
immediately afterwards; then, as

Bravo! And congratulations to
Judge J. Frank Huskins of Burns
ville, who established somewhat
of a precedent during a recent
session of Superior Court in Char
lotte, N. C.
Admitting that he acted contrary
to a state law which forbids a
Superior Court Judge to comment
on a Jury’s verdict, Judge Husk
ins none-the-less gave a well-de
served rebuke to the Jury before
him, which had just cleared a
man of a drunk-driving charge.
Among other things Judge Husk-
' " Ag colleges and top dairymen
have proved that for every pound of flesh a dry cow
gains, she’ll give an extra 12 to 15 lbs. of milk her next
lactation. 100 lbs. extra flesh on a dry cow returns an
extra 1,200 to 1,500 lbs. of milk.
j 300 to 500 lbs. of „SQ Dry & Freshening plus
roughage—will do it. Is that a good deal? You bet it is!
i Cows conditioned on "SQ” Dry & Freshening Feed calve #
easier, have less udder trouble - and give more milk! #

they say, “Zoom!” You should see
them move. But even then, the job
is just about half-done!
Our “Teen-agers” are a million
unpredictable things each day, but
always a delight to know intimat
ely. They’ve a tremendous capa
city for giving and receiving love,
and most of a parents grey hair
comes from this knowledge. With
out the judgment which a little
more age can give them, they
could give that love wrongly and
so suffer heartache and disillus
ionment. These things come soon
enough anyway, but how is any
parent ever to know, since every!
human being is different, exactly
what each passing incident might
mean to their child?
We can only pray for God’s
guidance for'’ ourselves and our
children, and -study the works of
people who have spent years
veloping their knowledge of hu
man behavior.
Remember that your “Teen
ager” is merely an almost grown
up man or woman. And though
you won’t believe it, they will
grow up. Never forget that, and
never let them forget that you
know it. A little love can go a
long, long way during this diffi
cult period. Actually, Elvis Pres
ley isn’t half as important to
them as YOU are! And even if
they are too large to hold in your
lap as you once did, they never
get too large for an “I love you”.
Nor do they ever get too old to
want to hear it from the most im
portant people in the world to
them, their parents.
ins told the panel of men and
women: “Thp verdict in this case
does not reflect the normal intelh'
gence of a jury—There are cer
tain limitations in the Jaw on
what opinions this court is entit*
led to have; but I have no inten
tion of spending 12 months in
Mecklenburg County, „ presiding
iover a farce for a court.”
Judge Huskins, there are many
in your native town and county,
as well as in other sections of the
state, who are proud of the fine
record you are making; and this
column lifts its voice with others
in acclaim of your bold stand in
the above instance. Again con
gratulations and power to you, sit'

It seems as though Yancey

an avowed nemesis of drunken

Parkway Playhouse Presents Heart
warming Version of “Cradle Song”
By Hope Bailey
Hie success of the Parkway
Playhouse version of “Cradle
Song” last week-end marked the
fourth brilliant performance of
the season. Under the meticulous
direction of George C. Crocker,
the production was on a high
plane of simplicity and beauty;
and the acting was intelligent,
perceptive and showed” a fine
sense of style.
“Cradle Song”, a heart-warming
comedy by Gregorio and Maria
’Martinez Sierra and translated
into English by John Garrett Un
derhill, is a story of humility and
faith, dealing with the lives of
Dominican Nuns in a Convent in
present day Spain.
T£iashow, dealing with realism,
included an element of romance
with Maxine Fisher as Teresa,
who is left at the Convent as a
baby and grows up under the
guidance of the Nuns, and Anton
io, given a fine portrayal by Pat
rick Martinelli. Without Miss
Fisher's tender portrayal of Ter
esa, the performance would not
have been so moving, for her part
is the core of the story.
Everyone on both sides of the
footlights wa# fortunate in having
Jeannie Hotard pl»y the part of
Sister Jbanna of the Cross. She
brought the play most of its hu
mility with her shining perform
ance and the grace arid selfless
ness of her characterization. As
Sister Marcella, Carol Turner Ad
ded a touch of comedy by quietly
blending a bit of mischief into
her characterization of a young
novice. Even in the last act, after
18 years haVe past, she is still
tempted to suit her action to the
impulses of the moment. Both
Miss Hotard and Miss Turner
seem to be endowed with a magic
that brings the theatre ajivp_.
Natalie Roge gave a superbly
controlled performance ns the pa
tient Proiress whose quiet under
standing filled all her scenes with
warmth and mercy. In the part of
Mistress ot Novices who takes
special interest in hnf charges,
vllle. At least there seemed to be
several who been escaping
justice in times past wkq rpfeived
rather stern penalties when tftey
appeared before Judge Patton.

Last week proved to be some
what of a history-making for Yan
cey County. First, there was |he
arrest on August Bth ot Sheriff
Frank Randolph by the County
Coroner, Willard Hensley, on a
charge of drunk driving. And the
very next day Mr, Randolph was
removed from offiee on a petition
which led Judge Patton to declare
the Sheriffs office vacant, while
the judge was promoted from his
judgeship by receiving Gov. Hod
gas appointment as state Attorney
General. The.c stand as three
things that had never hagjjpqed in
Yanpey County before.

This column and Us author take
no delight in the misfortunes pf
sny Individual, good or bad, eithr
er in private or public life, or
whether occasioned by accident
or flagrant disregard of establish
ed customs or regulations. At the
same time we do approve and en
dorse any move or effort to curb
evil tendencies, and to check and
correct errors and practices that
threaten to bring harm or reproach
to the people and to the name of
our County and County-seat town:
That an important step has
been taken in that direction by
the several Court actions already
referred to, we feel that the good
citizens of both parties will agree.
But we raise the question: When
n house-cleaning job is once be-
gun-why not go ahead and com
plete' it? Would the housewife
stop with cleaning up and re
arranging one room, when there
were others that needed a good
dusting?
** * *
Granting that the Yancey Coun
ty Sheriff's office got a cleaning
out that was obviously needed, —
how about other nooks and cran
nies in the politico framework and
policies of our town and County?
W uldn’t a little pressurized air
in and dusting along several oth
er orrldors and avenues leave
the general' atmosphere fresher
and more wholesome for a health
ier commonwealth in the future?

Jane Mucklow -gave a beautiful
performance. Patricia Powers’
stern, slightly acid portrayal as
the Vlcaress was very well done.
In the role of the Doctor who
cares for the physical ills of the
Sisters, Ed Anderson’s -good
hearted, rathe* - droll characteriza
tion was a notable piece of act
ing in a generally Impressive per
formance. There were outstanding
performances by Sharon Duncan
as Sister Maria Jesus, and Mary
Uhlmann as Sister Sagrario who!
played their roles with quiet rad-j
iance. Lillian Malek as Sister Inez
gave an amusing and entertain
ing performance which added
comedy to the story.
Warren Hansen, the poet in the
interlude who created the mood
for the last act, spoke his part
with style and dignity.
Others in the cast who gave
fine performances were Lila Rich
ards, whose portrayal of Sister
Tornera was sensitively acted: C.
C. Postol, Pat Singer and Diana
Winner as Nuns; and Charles
Drozd as the Countryman.
Set designer Gerald Honaker
found away to design a convent
without making it cold or barren.
He did this by using blues, grays
and a touch of red to offset the
solemn black and white dress of
the Sisters, and with the floral ar
rangements which mirrored the
mood of the play. the
Cloister arch could be seen the
Convent garden and the blue sky
over Spain.
“Cradle Song” made a profound
impression on everyone who saw
it. The groupings, the tempo
which was slower than the nor
mal pace since every wjjrd was
important, the measured move
ments and the solemn costumes
blended together to make a beau
tiful production. All the members
of thg cast played in a harmonious
key and gave a fine performance
of an intelligent pomedy..
