We paid a visit on a very
good friend last Thursday
down at Blue Ridge, Ga., Ray
Joseph. Ray and his wife,
Mary have a lot of friends in
Murphy. In fact Ray said he
didn't realize how many
friends they did have until
Mary got sick and his phone
started ringing. Although
Mary is in die hospital, we're
happy to report that she is ex
pected to be back home with
her family, healthy as ever
within two months. If you
would like to cheer Mary up
with a card, her address is:
Ward 306-B,Battey State Hos
pital, Rome, Georgia.

Over in Ebinger, Germany,
the agony column of a local
newspaper carried an ad from
a husband: "No longer res
ponsible for my wife's debts."
She responded with an ad:
"Dear Theo, have no sorrow
with name there's nothing one
can borrow."

We can't think of but two
tilings that will make a red
blooded American male come
into a photography studio and
have a picture made - politics
and his wife - in that order.
With politics running hot and
heavy, we sho have made a
batch of pictures In the last
few weeks, and if we do say
so ourselves, some of 'em
look pretty good. So, ladies,
if you have been trying to get
that grouchy old husband to
have a picture made, we may
already have just the one you
want. Give us a call and
we'll be glad to make you an
enlargement, in color if you
like.

We don't want to give the
impression that we want to
start a lonely hearts club,
'cause the last thing we want
to do is put some unsuspecting
widow in the hands of a Blue
beard. We noticed in a daily
paper that folks had been writ
ing in telling how many widows
were in the different churches
and the Methodist won. Won
der how many there are in
Cherokee and Clay County
churches, litis could be sway
to get some bachelors in
church, ya know. I'll bet on
the Baptist.

There just ain't no way to
run off and hide anymore. A
color brochure came in die
mail the other day advertising
the Varsity Drive-In in Atlanta
as the world's largest drive
in. Lo and behold, in one of
the color photographs stood
Scout Advertising Manager
Red Schuyler and his family
munching on them good vittles.
Everybody wants to get in on
the act.
-J
You really shouldn't have to
be reminded again, but Friday
April 15 is tax filing deadline.
Unless you have a friend in
government and he'd better be
a good one, you'd better get
with this filing business.

Scout Columnist General
Taylor Meet After 43 Years
Ernest P. L. Schoeler, an
ex-army Sergeant, who now
writes the weekly column
'Both Sides Of The Coin' for
the Cherokee Scout, met with
another old soldier, General
Maxwell D. Taylor, in Ashe
ville last week.
Two old soldiers, whose
paths last crossed 43 years
ago in Hawaii, met again in
Asheville when Gen. Maxwell
D. Taylor spoke at Asheville
Biltmore College.
In 1923, Ernest P. L. Sch
oeler was a sergeant with the
Third Engineers at Schofield
Barracks when a young second
lieutenant fresh from West
Point joined the regiment.
"We didn't hold 'shavetails'
in very high regard at that
time," Schoeler, who now
lives in Skyland, recalls. "And
when the colonel asigned Lt.
Taylor to give us calisthenics,
we really cussed that young
guy from West Point.
Schoeler's Army career en
ded in 4928 after he suffered
a broken back playing service
football. A native of Germany,
he had been serving aboard an
old German square rigger
when World War I broke out.
His ship was interned in Chile
and he jumped It .stowing away
on an oil tanker bound for
San Pedro, Calif.
He recalls he got along fine
in the United States until this
nation entered the war and he
became a registered enemy
alien. After the war, in order
to obtain U. S. citizenship,
he enlisted in the Army and
was sent to Hawaii where the
sergeant first encountered the
young lieutenant.
When World War II came
along, despite die injured
back, Schoeler went back into
the service - this time with
the Coast Guard as a boats
wain's mate where he served
until an accident on board a
destroyer escort left him with
an injured leg that eventually
had to be amputated.
When Gen. Taylor began
making his brilliant World
War II record, following that
with service in Korea and as
ambassador to South Viet
Nam, Schoeler started follow
ing the general's career clo
sely.
And when Taylor's talk was
scheduled at A-B College,
Schoeler said "I think it'$ the
same man who gave us calis
thenics at Schofield, but I'm
not quite sure."
Now he is.
