At times the. dazzle gives say to accounts of cruel horror when in 1921 a sacred enclo - sure at Carthage was found with thousands of funeral urns packed with small burnt bones, mute evidence of a monstrous holocaust of child sacrifice to the god Baal.

AUTHORIZED DODGE DEALERS CHRYSLER I MOTORS CORPORATION to the fact that there was ac tually a Queen Amegundis in the sixth century of Merovin - gian history. And the disco>oy in a cave in a French village of a small statuette, later call ed the Venus of Lespugue, prov ed that primitive man had a concern for art. Therefore, the author states that even the smallest vesti g e found in excavations is impor tant as it may be a vital clue to the mode of life of ancient man—his family, his society, his work, his art, and his re ligious aspirations. From the least to the greatest, history can thus be reconstructed. One universal fact that these dis coveries have substantiated is the desire of prehistoric man (along with that of his modem brother) to be remembered af ter the spark of life is gone. From the legendary queen of the Sahara desert to the man god of Palenque, Mexico,both of whom were given magnifi - cent monuments for we find that (according to Thomas Gray): "Ev'n from the tomb the voice of nature cries, Ev'n in our ashes live their wonted fires". land Os Os Earns Award RALEIGH - One of North Carolina’s newest develop ments has been named the recipient of a national award. The Land of Oz, developed by Carolina Caribbean Corp oration atop Beech Mountain near Banner Elk, has won the annual Washington, D. C„ Daily News Award for the year’s outstanding tourist attraction. Trucks To Be Checked Trucks hauling gravel, sand, dirt and other loose materi a 1 would do well to make sure their'loads are secured before they travel on the highways of North Carolina in the future. Motor Vehicle Commission •s *■ er Joe W. Garrett said today that as a result of "a substan - tial increase recently in the number of complaints from the motoring public" he has asked the State Highway Patrol to "crack down" on violators of the state law requiring that loads be secured. According to Garrett, the law provides that "No vehic 1 e shall be driven on any highway unless such vehicle is so con structed or loaded as to prevent any of its load from droppin& sifting, leaking or oth erw is e escaping therefrom...." The Commissioner said, "A truck that fails to secure its lead represents a genuine threat to other vehicles on the highway. It not only causes damage to other vehicles, but, in many instances, contributes to acci dents. We are going to to everything possible to niiimize. the problem." Highway Patrol Commander Edwin C. Guy said the Patrol made 476 arrests during 1969 for violations of the "fail ing to secure load" law. He ex - pects an increase in the mom- 1 her of arrests this year. "We are definitely increas - ing our surveillance," Guysaid, "and we will not hesitate to make arrests when violations are detected." ■ « S j our agency | !

The Land of Oz was “the hands down winner”, accord ing to Myron Glaser, long time manager of Resort and Travel News for the Scripps- Howard newspaper. •The word 'exquisite’ has almost gone out ofi usage,” Glaser said. “The Land of Oz should bring it back. We’ve never seen a more beautiful natural setting nor a finer marriage of a place and an idea. It is truly an adventure, imaginative and unspoiled.” The decision to give the award to the Land of Oz was made even before the park’s balloon ride, by which visitors may leave Emerald City, was completed. That ride opened July 3. The Land of Oz, three years in the planning by Charlotte designer Jack Pentcs, re creates the L. Frank Baum classic, «The Wizard of Oz”, and the 1948 MGM movie in real life among the age-old cliffs and twisted trees of Beech Mountain’s pinnacles. Composer Alec Wilder of New York who, with Char lotte’s Loon is McGlohon wrote music for the themed park, visited Oz and wired his own accolade. “My profound gratitude,”he said, “to all of you for con clusively proving that magic and joy, beauty and love still exist.” The park, located 17 miles from Boone, will operate daily through Labor Day and then on weekends through October 25. Decoration Service There will be an old fashioned memorial and decor ation service at the Huntdale Memorial Cemetery all day Sunday, August 9th, dinner on the ground, and the public is cordially invited. The little Ivy Trio, Pleasant Valley Quar tet, Bee Log Quartet, and the Living for Jesus Quartet and others will take part in this all day service. Ed Ball, WKYK Radio at Burnsville, will be Master of Ceremonies.
