The idea of “Overlook’’ is taken from the Overlooks provided ior viewing panoramas along the Blue Ridge Parkway. . 1 ■ Except for the persistently cling ing oak leaves, which th e frosts and the gales have now seared into browns and tans, the colorful foliage of autumn has passed away, and the slopes of our hills and mountains assume their wintery hue. Each season of-the year, but especially the fall season, evokes in us, I think a particular niood. We human beings are subject to our moods, It is part of our hu -man nature to have moods. The capacity for them is a blessing. They can, however, become our bane. Perhaps we should pause to ask what we mean by a mood. I sup pose, popularly, a mood signifies som e special sort of feeling that may be induced eitder from within .--ourselves, or in response to things outside ourselves. Unquestionably some of our moods are the product of our physical cc'dition. Poor health may put us in a mood of pessimism or grouchiness, whereas overflowing energy and splendid physical fitness may produce moods of confidence, cheer and jollity. Moods arc also our way of re acting to th e enviorment around us and are indicative of our sensi tivity to’ the external influences that play upon us. A dark, dreary morning of winter may take the light out of our eyes. The balmy brightness of a spring morning j will make a boy whistle or sing. The pensive beauty of a quiet sea, tinted lavender by the evening’s lights and shades, will cast a hush over our franzied souls and give us a sense of theTkifipite. That human beings have the abi lity to respond consciously and in telligently to the things around them is something that most of us usually take for granted. But when you really stop to think about it, is it not one of th e grandest mysteries of the universe" I —use the word, “mystery” advisedly, * . _ f HAD A GOOD Wig- m LOOK AT YOUR I TIRES LATELY?/ , SLIPPERY WEATHER'S HERE!

C. ■■■■■ i . ■ ■ . . for who can plumb the infinite dep ths of its meaning? The scientists point out that all organisms constantly adapt them selves to their enviorment, and we know that it is so. But, apart from, man, no organism does it consciously. At least, I .don’t think so. The chameleon may change its color to agree with th e back ground, but does it know that it does it? The nightingale and the lark will sing their lyric songs, not knowing they are lovely at all. Their fellow-birds will hear the songs and ansiver back with ri val sweetness, but no idea of the sweetness or loveliness enters their minds. Man, however, has been given the gift of his moods. He can hear the murmurs of the pines and the hemlocks and find his soul soothed or moved profoundly. He can see the purply carpeted surface of a placid sea in the eventide and have far-ranging thoughts drawn out of his soul, catch glimpses with his mind of far-off scenes. From him in this mood therg may come forth a great composition of music, or a scene painted by his brush on canvas, or a sonnet that thee world will read and love throughout the generations. As Thanksgiving draws near, not , the least of the blessings we may I thank God for is the capacity for moods. But moods can also be our down fall. Bad moods can disrupt homes and lead to murder. Moodiness can bring despair;" and out of wrong moods nervous breakdowns and even suicides can ensue. What shall we say to this? The answer is that moods should never be our masters, but we the masters of our moods. Moods have their place, but let them usurp Ghe place that belongs to our minds and wills, and they will •ruin u«. Moods are lik e horses. I useful when trained and in con- 1 trol, but a menace when wild and ioosfe. Education in living will b e a failure If it does not include a * i disciplining of our moods. Many incipient moods ought to be sque-. lched at their outset. If we de sire to be people of solid charac ter, we must learn absolutely not te tolerate certain moods within ourselves. Although man is gifted with the ability to be conscious of his moods, on the whole he does better not to b e too conscious of them. For moods are like petulant children.! They enjoy getting the attention of people. Whereas they should always be under the mastery of our minds and wills, as I said above, they cleverly contrive to* make themselves masters, and they are smart enough to know that if they can become the cen ter of attention, they will have attained their purpose. They will liav e us under their control. And we are in the peril of being ruined. So, moods must be kept in their place and disciplined. And when such is a matured person’s true character-victory, he can, from those God-given mom ents of holy moods, create his works of art and loveliness that will, if known to others, delight the world, and that may —• shall we fancy it? adorn the ever lasting picture galleries of heaven! subscrcbe"’ TO The Record NOTICE OF RE-SALE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF YANCEY The Board of Education of Yan cey County, being of the opinion that the Lost Cove School house [ and site upon which it is located in Ramseytown Township, Yancey County, North Carolina, has be come unnecessary for public school purposes, signed an Order at a meeting held by said Board of Education on 13 August 1958, dir ecting the sale of said Lost Cove School house and site upon which it is located and in said Order ap pointed Hubert D.

Ford sales are way ahead of all competition. Why? One reason is the classic simplicity of thgir Thunderbird inspired design—clean, crisp lines that are 'pure automobile! And Fords are built for people —to sit in, to drive, to ride in—with comfort. The car in hottest demand across the land has greater roominess and comfort • Thousands ot customers have bought the new Ford over all competition for another compelling reason—it s a true stx-passenger car. (The only four passenger car we recommend is the Thunderbird!) All six Ford passengers: get plenty ot every kind ot room— from leg and head to elbow and hip. Rear seat passengers don't feel like they’re riding with their feet in a bucket!; The No. 1 car in sales saves money on gas, on oil,, on maintenance bills 1 A new Ford will save you up to s»!'a gallon on gas. That’s because both standard engines— Six or Thunderbird V-B—thrive on regular gas. And Ford saves on oil, too, with a Full-Flow Oil Filter as standard equipment. Drive 4000 miles between oil change®! And you can forget about waxing your car. Ford’s Diamond Lustte Finish stays gleaming bright without waxing— ever! The most popular American car is priced as much as $102.75 lower Ford costs you less right down the line than the competition. Compare price tags and you’Jl see that the manure- - : turer’s suggested retail price of a Ford, equipped with radio, heater and auto matic transmission, is as much as $102.75 less than the major com petition! And on an air-conditioned . car, you can save up to $219.85. So compare and save on a 1959 Ford!
