RANDOM THOUGHTS J by Doris Burton ' This is the second week of school in our county, and I’m won dering how many other mothers find themselves, for the first time in many years, without a child in the house to care for. Are you finding yourself lonely and with so much time on your hands that you can hardly realize it? I’m trying now to decide what I can do, for at least a few hours of each day, to relieve the boredom. There are so many wonderful fields of endeavor open to women these days, and I don’t think any one is ever too old to learn. It will be hard to tear oneself away from the daily practiced routine of years, but every woman owes it to herself, once she has her family old enough for school, to think a little about the future and the day when those children will marry and have homes of their own. What is mother going to do then if she doesn't begin now to pre pare herself for that time? No life can be full and complete without a sense of accomplish ment I am not underestimating the wonderful feeling one has just] from having reared any number of children to school age. But don’t you honestly feel' that you’d like to broaden your life in some way? The man who retires, usually at the same age a woman is when her children are firmly establish ed in their own lives, is a lost soul unless he has other interests. So it is with a mother. And, so throughout the twelve to sixteen years—required for a child to get a decent education, she must find that interest—something she can become completely absorbed in or she might find herself com pletely refusing to untie those old apron strings and let her children become self-reliant, independent individuals, as they must. It is a pathetic thing to find oneself all alone and too old to start a new life or even to become interested in anything new. This is the time right now to start planning for a life of your TIME TO BE THINKING ABOUT WINTER DAYS AHEAD SURE These are lovely In dian Summer days - but winter weather is less than 40 days ahead— AND .. • NOW is the time to get that insulating, remod eling and repair work done WE HAVE a complete stock of Storm Doors, Insulating Materials, Building Hard ware, Paints, Roofing Mst erials-in fact everything to do that complete job for your home.

You don’t have”to neglect the duties you still have to your family, but do make some constructive use of all those idle hours you find on your hands. Don’t be left, a few years from now, a no longer needed person who didn’t have the sense to pre pare for a time she knew would come. has always fascinated you, but which you’ve never had the time for, find away to get information on the subject and then go ahead and pursue that subject. The youngest older people I know are those Who followed such a course. You, also, must know many of them, and aren’t they delightful ?; I thinlc What staying interested in one ornrn many things is the secret “Fountain of Youth” that these people have found. Let’s take a little sip from that foun tain, now while we have the chan ce, and it could be that we’ll want more and more of it. Anyway, I can assure you that you will ber ; come a much more interesting person for having tried. BONALD E. ANGELL COMPLETES TRAINING Parris Island, S. C. (FHTNC) Ronald E. Angell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil E. Angell of Route 3, Burnsville, ,N. C., completed re cruit training August 29 at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.

REEVE * ", i mtik ...■■■■.idbireii.i- 11 i ill »i iTiii ii ■ ■■«■■ I had my first introduction to this mountain oountry byway of ' the Blue Ridge Parkway last fall just when the foliage was at its best. At once we fell in love with it, marvelling at the majesty of the mountains, the deep, dark ravines, and the kindly valleys dressed in their year-round green, but dec orated for the season with the re splendent colors of fall. Sometimes a massive hulk of mountain almost stood upon us. More often the end less succession of peaks passed in review like battalions before our eyes. These things we saw best from “Overlooks”, which the Parkway Commission had placed here and there along the way for the pleas ure and convenience of motorists. I would like to appropriate the idea of the “Overlook” for the tit le of this column, which we shall henceforth call “Overlook on Life”. Just as from an overlook one may single out some interesting detail of landscape or. note some Signs of human life and activity— a chicken yard, a woman hanging out wash, a boy flying a kite ; or, as one may comprehend a j| " ._ _ __^~ —-" -■ , • Ifj] 1 V v L RETAIL SALE RETAIL ITEM PRICE PRICE Laying Mash 50 lb. $2.58 $2.39 Laying Mash 25 lb. $1.38 $1.28 I Hen Scratch 25 lb. $1.30 $1.15 Shorts , * . v * $3.65 $3.50 Egg Mash 50 lb. $2.30 $2.20 Sheep Manure , $1.95 $1.69 Cow Manure , $1.95 $1.69 Peat Moss ~ *. $5.00 . $4.50 GrainoDog ** $2.25 51.99 Milorganite $3.65 $3.50 Lawn Grass Seed 1 lb. .85 $ .69 Lawn Grass Seed 5 lb. $4.00 $3.25 Hen Feeder No. 160 $6.30 $3.99 SA 50 Cattle Grub || , Dust 21L .55 $ .49 Rat Poison 1 lb. -SI.OO $ .69 I Egg Baskets $2.85 - $2.29 | Egg Scales $1.95 $1,69 Abruzzißye f * I 8” File. .40 .29 FARMERS FEDERATION | «*ONE47 JX. HARNETT, BURNSVILLE, N. C. H THE YANCEY RECORD —■ -I i ii i ii^ whole vast region in one panora mic glance, so our conversations in this column may sometimes be on little meaningful incidents of life; sometimes they may range out into the immensities of space. Mighty divine purposes stretch from everlasting to everlasting through human history, even as these ranges of our mountain land go on in seeming endless success ion. Could we here and there have even a tiny glimpse into those mysterious reaches of the Eternal, how fortunate we would be! Usu ally we must be content if just re flections of “Glory Beyond” light up the meaning of our little exist * ence and teach us tp know our selves and the world around us better. At any rate, let us “park our car” week by week at this “Over look on Life” and see together what we may see. Friendly, sociable times I trust we will have. And if we can all be made a little wiser, a little more loving there by, that will be cause for thanksgiving.
