Talents
?
This isn't going to be *
class In Music and Art App
reciation. At least there will
be oo textbooks, no home work
and no examinations.
I reckon that, mostly, this
will just be a crude and inept
effort on my part tt> express
something mat I really don't
even know how to talk about.
Right now I know it would
help a lot If I were a com
petent music, voice and art
critic. And if you are accus
tomed to thinking that the cri
tics just make mean
comments, then, you're
wrong. The honest ones, when
praise is warranted, just as
diligently say very compli
mentary tilings They know
how to say them. And that is
what I need now. Is to know
how to say something very
nice.
And I do have something
nice to say here in this space
this week. Inside 1 feel real
good about some people and
their talents? one's music,
another's voice, and then,
one's art. And If I could just
transfer the feeling I have In
side, transfer it exactly, Into
words and onto the printed
page, then It, too, would be like
the three things Ihavealready
mentioned. It wouldbeastart
llngly beautiful creation,
a tiling of majesty, grace, ten
derness, grandeur, and love
liness.
Yes, these three people are
friends of mine, and if you're
thinking, maybe, that I have
some kind of ax to grind with
them, I have news for you.
You are right! The ax of
friendship. I want to keep it
honed to the sharpness of a
razor's edge.
I have talked about the three
of them on radio, and two of
them have been mentioned
here before. But now 1 want to
talk?write, about them again.
First there is a lady whom
a lot of you know personally,
then many many more of you
have heard her program on
Radio WKRK on Sundays?Mrs^
Dock Sudderth.
Of all the musical instru
ments, the organ is myfavor
lte and tills little lady can
simply make it do ANYTHING I
Long before I had ever
had the pleasure of meeting
her I had heard her play.
And how I loved itl Never
had I ever, nor have I until
yet, felt that I had heard all
I wanted to. I thought that if
I could perhaps just sit In her
living room and hear her play
and play and play, then, for
once I could hear and enjoy
enough. Feel that my hunger
for her beautiful music
had been satisfied.
Later she Invited me and my
family to her home for what
amounted to a command per
formance. We would just men
tion a song title or a few words
a phrase, and that was all
that was necessary. She would
play It. The old favorites, only
theold favorites, they were all
I wanted to hear.
And I listened, and listen
ed and, then, after it was all
over and time to go, I knew
then, that my hunger, my
thirst, my greed for the
Heavenly sounds that she
created on her Hammond
could never be completely
satisfied!
A few weeks ago, in a pic
turesque little red brick
church tucked away in a quiet
green wood near Blalrsvllle,
Ga., I listened to another
friend of mine as he sang a
song. It was at Antioch, An
tioch Baptlt Church. Still
another good friend of mine
was conducting a revival there
Bill Thompson, and the friend
who sang was PaulRidenhour.
Of all the sacred songs,
my all time, all time favorite
is "Those Golden Bells," and
that was what he sang. He had
sung It, too, at a previous
service. Aunt Tennle Cloer,
and you all know her, told me
about having heard him sing It
that time. She said, "Mr.
Bagley, I just sat there and the
tears just rolled and I didn't
care who saw them."
When I heard him sing it I
knew exactly what she meant.
And it did, Indeed, seem that
I could hear the angels singing,
and I'm sure, too, that I could
also hear those golden bells.
And that's how he sang It,
to make you feel that, cer
tainly, you COULD hear the |
angels singing, and the gol- ,
den bells ringing, even that ,
you could see the glittering (
glamour and the bright and \
peaceful serenity of a place <
called Heaven. It just made <

Then at Marble, N.C. lives '
another friend of mine on '
Whom the Good Lord has also 1
bestowed a great, grand, and|
glorious talent Eugene Led- (
ford. Gene is an artist. A ,

I have been to a few ex- ,

museums, and I have seeni

Statistics Tell
Hidden Story
By Dave Bruce
Statistics are usually
boring, but one who studies
them Is often rewarded with
a hidden story.
There Is a hidden story
and a hidden answer in the
daily river forecasts issued
by the Tennessee Valley Auth
ority.
Nearly every summer,
someone, somewhere In the
vast TV A area finds fault with
the level of a particular lake.
TVA'a standard answer la
that flood control take pre
cedence over recreation.
There la a reason for any
one lake belqg at a certain
level at any given time. The
water spilled from Lake Hl
w as see or from South Hol
ston Lake up near the-Vlr
glnla -Tennessee line must be
considered to determine the
level of Kentucky Lake, which
la near the mourn of the Tenn
essee River.
It's hard to convince people
who useeny onelake In the sys
tem. They seem to feel they
are Mm victims of some kind
of persecution.
Their answer can be be
found in the sutlttlca for last
Friday. Hlwaasee stood U
1523, just four feet from the
top oS' the gates. Chatuge, at
1929, waa six feet short of
being full. Appalachia was two
feet from capacity at 1278.
Nottely had 12 feet to spare.
The levels aloqg the Little
Tennessee were just as close
to the top.
Far down on the main river.
Wheeler Dam in Alabama was
filled to within three-tenths
of a foot of spilling over.
No explanation for the cur
rent capacity load of water la
necessary. The heavy rains
for the first two weeks of
July speak for thamaelves.
The point Is simply thlsi
the TV A system was able to
absorb the excess rainfall be
cause the agency is prepared
for unexpected conditions like
the early July rainfall and sets
the lake levels accordingly.
Had TV A yielded to the
whining of the chronic comp
lainers and given them full
pools everywhere in the sys
tem, the people of the area
would be paying a heavy price
In Uvea and property damage
today.
A look at the floodway area
along the Hlwassee in Murphy
is convincing enough.
Damn the dam operators If
you want to, but it is evident
there is s method in what soma
people deem to be their
madneasll
n
abroad. Maybe none of this
qualifies me as a judge. But
I do know what appeals to me,
and his art does. And it would
look quite at home In any of
the most famous art mus
eums In the world.
And like Mrs. Sudderth's
organ music and Pauls' sing
ing, I could, and would so en
joy just sitting for hours liste
ning to the three. Listening to
Gene's paintings? Yes,
they too, are alive, vibrant
and vigorously beautiful, pla
cidly peaceful and pleasingly
stimulating. So much so, that
they seemto have voices which
say over and over, "See and
hear how my children have
used the talents which I have
given them."

CUFF BLUE... I
People &
Issues
JUDGESHIPS... If elections
could be mod with judicial ap- I
pointments it would appear I
that Dan Moore should be I
able to take most anythiiy be I
wanted, but in most Instances I
the men with the robes don't I
take a great part in the con
tests when primary and dec- I
tion time rolls around? I
and this is as it should be.
Superio Court Judge J. I
W illlam Copeland of Murfree- I
sboro who was a Sanford su- I
pporter in I960 and served
as his legislative counsel I
during the 1961 General I
Assembly was reappointed I
by Governor Moore.
By accepting an appoint- J
ment to the Appellate Court I
David Britt appears to have I
eliminated himself from fur- I
ther consideration as acandi- I
date for governor in 1968. Bob I
Scon may have opposition in I
the primary, and probably I
will, but the outlook for his I
nomination looks good as of I
this time.
But if he wins the nomln- I
a tion he will need a united I
party behind him to assure his I
election against the expected I
Republican challenge in the I
fall election? particularly I
so if die LBJ rating is low. I
EIGHTH DISTRICT.. With I
one candidate already I
announced? Voit Gilmore and I
others expected, die eighth I
district Congress race should I
provide a good show in both I
the primary and general I
election campaigns. I
APPOINTMENTS. . .Gover
nor Moore made some good ju
dicial appointments last week
and it was Interesting to note
that he re-appointed two
strong Terry Sanford men to
the superior court bench
Ed Clark of Bladen countyand
Harry C. Martin of Asheville,
both to be resident judges
whereas they had been special
judges.
LONG CAMPAIGNS
Last Week we discussed ann
ouncements and the lengths of
campaigns in gubernatorial
races during the past several
years.
It would appear that in the
last four races for lieuten
ant governor the advantage
was in most instances with
the late-comers rather than'
the "early birds". But cus
toms can sometimes change
in a hurry, and often do./
