Baptists Will
Have Special
Services Sunday
Special services will be held at
the Black Mountain First Baptist
church Sunday morning for the
Rev. W. A. Huneycutt, pastor,
who is being recalled involuntar
ily to the air force chaplaincy.
He will report to the processing
center, Maxwell Field, Ala., on

The offering Sunday morning
will be given in appreciation of
his mfnistry in the church here
during these years. The love of
fering will be presented to the
church building program.
The pulpit committee at the
church has been authorized to
supply the pulpit with a supply
or supplies during the interim. The
church has given the Rev. Mr.
Huneycutt a leave of absence for
12 months which is the time in
dicated on the special orders. The
church also passed a resolution
giving the pastor the opportunity
of notifying the church in the
event he feels that such an ar
rangement is not to the best in
terest of the church. He has the
privilege of tendering his resign
ation. The church has the right
of notifying the Rev. Mr. Huney
cutt that such an arrangement is
undesirable if the members feel
it wise.
A further resolution was passed
to permit the pastor's family to
use the parsonage part or all the
time during his absence from the
church.

BOUNTY HAS BEST FOREST RECORD
itistics reported by Tom
ane, N. C. farm forester at
eviile, reveal that during the
six months Buncombe county
[dished the best forest raan
jent record in the five county
embracing Buncombe, Hend
McDowell, Polk and Ruth
Ird counties. Considering the
il number of farmers and
Hand owners who have been
management assistance in
king and selling their timber
*ie N. C. division of forestry
Bg this period, Buncombe
ty has received fifty-eight per
of the total services given
lie five county area.
|is record is due primarily to
‘ncreasing interest the people
tincombe county are taking in
Irving their timberland, and
it to its best advantage.
D foresters point out that
»nd owners receive more
for their timber in most
by having it marked. By
ing the advice given them,
»nd owners put their lands
thrifty, fast growing condi
tion, and insure more returns from
their timberlands in the near fu
ture.
The main point to remember, how
ever, is that although state for
esters assist in the technical as
pects of forest management, the
responsibility of improving forest
land rests with each individual
landowner. The time to look into
the proper conservation practices
to fol|ow is before the timber is
cut, not afterward. There is not
much that can be done to timber
land after it has been cut de
structively, except to plant the
area and wait for a long period
before getting any return from
the land. A periodic income can
be received every few years, and
the timberland will remain in a
productive condition by following
sound forestry practices.
Woodland owners desiring ad
vice and assistance in the man
agement of their forest lands are
urged to contact County Farm
Agent Palmer or the N. C. divis
ion of forestry, district office, 222

Slalin And His
Millions Can't
Be Charmed By Us
"Two rivers - the red river of
communism nnd the white, crys
tal clear river of Christianity and
Democracy are present in our
world today. The red river threat
ens to enslave the free peoples
of this earth and to destroy all
we hold dear."
This was the subject which the
Rev. Wayne Williams of Oteen
developed in a talk at the Lions
Club Thursday night at the Monte
Vista.
Pointing out that the red river
of communism began with Karl
Marx who hated the church, God,
society, and capitalism, the speak
er traced the spread of the scourge
across Europe and asserted that
Stalin and his cohorts are deter
mined to conquer the world. The
Reds destroy the foundation of
civilization and all Christianity.
As a result there is a lack of
character, morals, and principles.
The state is everything and the
individual nothing.
"The white river, which orig
inated with Christ, teaches that
all men are brothers and should
love one another. As a result our
land of America is the happiest
on earth and the citadel of free
dom nnd the home of Christian
civilization,” Mr. Williams said.
“But we are face to face with
the greatest global struggle in all
history. One of the two worlds
will predominate—one will mean
slavery, the other freedom. A vic
tory for communism will mean
that all human decency will dis
appear from the earth. But the
bright sign is that the American
people are ahead of the govern
ment and are willing to make any
sacrifice in order to preserve their
way of life. We have learned that
we can’t charm Stalin and his
800,000,000 followers,’’ he conclud
ed.
W’illiam Hickey, president, pre
sided at the meeting which was
gift exchange night.
