\ {PEL ELLS j-j-j-jfBTJ ooo 00V0V Chaplain Jim Rogers ^ ^iUULSLOJUULfl-flJl.. he Lowly Penny - - ; was conceived from the mind of Robert Morris and named by the distinguished , itesman Thomas Jefferson. Thus, I have a rich heritage. I made my first ppearance in the year 1792 During those early months of existence I became vi ry popular with the people. It was during the early childhood days that I came popular with the Church collection plate. (I am still the most popular on Sunday mornings.) Lowly Penny - - i nvraved on my face was the portrait of our first President, George Washington. I represented a man that was loved and honored by all because of his devotion to the principle of freedom. He once said: “The propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order .,nd right, which heaven itself has ordained”. The Lowly Penny - - imprinted on my back was a chain of thirteen links portraying the thirteen -. ales. Symbolic of the united spirit endeavouring to foster a Nation of freedom and brotherhood and to send out the tradewinds of love that all subjugated peoples might breathe the air in the gaining of new strength and determination. ; i,e Lowly Penny - - Months later the men of Congress decided to revamp my appearance. On my face they engraved the head of the goddess of liberty. This outward sign was a gesture saying to the people of France— "We in our prayers and efforts will help you gain the freedom and liberties we have won for ourselves. On my back 5hey planted a picture of the olive wreath of peace. Peace, the desire all people cherish. Many of the French people found strength in the wayside Chapels while seeking for Peace during the revolution. One such person, the wife of Lafayette, Lafayette who fought so brilliantly for the freedom of Amer ica, travelled across France with feet wrapped in burlap bags seeking her hus band who was imprisoned in a dungeon in Austria. During her journey she found strength in the wayside Chapels. The Lowly Penny - - There was a time when I was very powerful. But today I have lost some of my influence. Yet. I can point out Churches, Chapels and great Cathedrals I have helped to erect. By being gathered from the cookie jars, behind old dishes, as loose change from the pocket, from the little hands of children who gave up their bubble gum, we became united a thousand fold to help erect houses of worship. All of this because the people “had a mind to work”. They placed my motto in action, “In God We Trust”. The Lowly Penny - - hi the form of a Sales Tax I am gathered by the millions for the purpose of seeing that the Little Ones can be advanced in stature and in wisdom and in favor wdth man and God. The Lowly Penny - - Once a week I am clasped in the tiny fingers of little children. This happens on Sunday morning. In taking me to Church the children learn that they must give to God a part of that which God has blessed them with. i? invitation 03id Cooking L tho American Home and cl ..iking school closed ionic time ago several re d ;:int the News publish some j recipes which Mrs. R.

Public expenditures total $107 mil lion. HOME MISSIONARIES ARE VERY IMPORTANT My Norma Ann Sawyer. (Delegate to the Youth and Mis sions conference at Lake Junalus ka.) To explain about home missions, two deaconesses spoke to us. They stressed the point that in this case, you administer to the individual, not to the church as a whole. Our home missionaries are us import ant as those who go to the foreign fields, as we have so much to ac complish at our own threshholds. During the remainder of the week, we listened gratefully to several of our neighboring friends, and marveled at the experiences which they told. I will try to share with you some of the interesting facts and human stories which were told to us by these friends. I. Mr. Morgan—India. Mr. Morgan was an “13,” which means that he was a missionary to India for 3 years. Being a min ister missionary, he preached to those who would come to hear. Since the Hindu religion was so dominant in the place where he was, he said that the best way was to let people come to you. To prove that this was true, he told us the story of Bromide, a ruler who gave up everything he had and came to him to find a re ligion of love. The ruler was a strong believer of the Hindu re ligion, but after he saw little chil dren stoned to death in the city, he knew that a better way of life could be found, so he found Mr. Morgan, and together they read the life of Christ; the ruler became a Christian. Mr. Morgan also told of a little boy who found Christianity by painting pictures of Christ. He stressed that Christianity must be practiced as well as preached, as the people usually took the word of Christ, were doubtful in the actions of those who were Chris tians. They knew and learned by watching. II. Dr. Howard—South America. Dr. Howard began his talk as most of the missionaries did, by telling of the country and the peo ple’s customs. We think that we have mountains here, but in Chile the mountains are very much larg er and grow a few inches each year. In the mountains, are un told resources of petroleum, iron ore, copper, and other things which have not yet been mined. The country is very rich, but because of lack of knowledge, the people cannot make use of the riches. A great per cent of South Amer ica has not yet been explored, and in these places also are numerous resources, but until man can learn to deal with nature in this land, nothing can be done. The neeil for agricultural or engineering missionaries is so great, as the Dr. Howard brought out. The people are lawless, which also comes from the lack of knowl edge. They prohibit co-education and school is not conpulsory. The South Americans say we are “very friendly but terribly law abiding,” which comes from our having a religion of love. Dr. Howard said that if three Frenchmen got together, they would have a philosophical discus sion; three Englishmen would have a game of crickett; three North Americans would discuss ways of doing business; but if three South Americans got together, a revolu tion would break out. The people are of course not all like this, as many of them try very hard to learn. He says they have a time trying to learn the English lang uage, but are very eager in try ing. One man was taking a trans lation test, and upon coming to the word “mouse,” he wrote “one an imal,” and for “mice,” he wrote “more than one animal.” (To be continued) THE STORY OF MY LIFE My name is Linda Shuford. I was born in Asheville Oct. H>, 1951. The first words I spoke were “Kitty,” “do da,” “mama,” baby. When I was 15-months-old 1 lived at Oteen anil when I was four and a half I went to Charleston, S. C. Later, I went to Savannah, Ga. Then to the Ocean and back to Georgia. 1 stayed one month back in Georgia where I had very much fun going motor boat riding •every day I ended my trip by coming to Asheville on a train. Then I v\j#s Jiving at Fairview. It was time for school, and to have my shots. That was not funny. Mrs. Jackson was my first grade teacher. I went two years to Fair view school and then from the third to the seventh at Swannanoa where I now live. My favorite school subject is spelling and favorite game is base ball or softball. My hobby is a collection of dogs as “what not-” and collecting stamps. 1 have 750 in my collection now. —Linda Shuford. 7-B-l, Mrs. W. H. Noah’s roo . • TRY THE CLASSIFIEDS!

Riant spent the week-end in their cot tage on Bower’s avenue. Mr. and Mrs. George C. Chapin, Newport News, Va., are visiting their daughter and son-in-law, the Rev. and Mrs. Cecil M. Perry and family. Mi'.s Sue Perry returned to her school work at West Hampton col lege, Richmond, Va., last Thursday after spending the summer here with her parents. Her father took her up to Richmond in the family car and returned home Saturday in time to officiate at Joyce Belcher's wedding. Miss Betty Allison spent the week-end here coming up from her home in Atlanta for the wedding of Miss Joyce Belcher Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Jada Morgan, Ra leigh, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Pate Wednesday night of last week. They were en route home from Paducah, Ky., where they visited their son and" his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Everette Morgan. A group of about 20 girls from the Lower Creek Baptist church, Lenoir, spent the week-end at Woodland Springs lodge, chaper oned by the wife of their pastor and some of their Sunday school teachers. They attended the ser vices at our church Sunday. Guests Saturday of Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Meeks, were Mr. and Mrs. Harold S. Wilson, Columbia, S. C. Mr. and Mrs. Nick Allred an nounce the birth of a daughter, Marshia Lynn, at Victoria hospital, Sept. 7. Mrs. C. M. Brittain and Mrs. Beatrice Hughes, her guest for several weeks, left by auto Mon day for Bunnell, Fla., where Mrs. Brittain will spend some time with Mrs. Hughes at her home there. The Rev. and Mrs. W. L. Hatch er are in Washington, Conn., for a visit with her sisters, Mrs. P. B. Wightman and Mrs. J. W. Moore. We saw them shopping for a new overcoat, etc., in Asheville in pre paration for the trip to this north ern city. More than five dozen names from Ridgecrest have been placed on the Lion’s club birthday calen dar for 1954. Sorry if you didn’t get u calendar so you can keep up with the birthday anniversaries of your neighbors. It’s fun, you know, to congratulate your friends on their anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Gray had as recent visitors, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Israel and their little son Keith of Asheville. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Quinn and children spent Sunday and Labor Day, with Mrs. Quinn’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Robinson, Glenwood. We heard Mrs. Quinn hail a nice restful visit but Bill could not resist the temptation to help his l'ather-in-law do a nice job of work, even if it was a holiday and Labor Day at that. A. C. Thomas is building an ad dition to his cottage and though it is already a very cozy and us able house it will be even more so when the work is finished. lHJIIIIllli:iillllll!illl!llllllll|l|l!lllll!lllll!l!!lllll!llll!!IIMI Engineers are making surveys and tests in preparation for plans to increase our water supply for next year. General Manager Wil lard K. Weeks will probably be ready for an important announce ment about this at an early date. This place is being closed, wrap ped and put to sleep for winter when the winds blow, the rain and snow descends, the fogs hang low over the mountains, the bears, rat tle snakes and frogs hibernate, children struggle with their lesson assignments, families gather around their radios and television sets, aged people sleep late while boys and girls arise early and rush off to school cheerily. What a contrast with summer it will be as the calendar marks the change to fall and winter. But winter brings its pleasures and re wards. There is the State Fair, the county fair, football, the moun tains clothed in luxurious excess of colors, young people away in college and university, and with it all come Columbus Day, Thanks giving Day and Christmas. Hur rah, for lots of fun and joyous livingl It was a mighty pretty wedding ceremony we witnessed Saturday evening at our church when Miss Joyce Belcher was married to Ned Miller Straehla. The flowers, the ferns, the bridesmaids, the ushers, the maid of honor, the flower girl, the groom, the best man, the can delabra, the organ music, the vows spoken by the minister all com bined to create loveliness soldom witnessed anywhere by a group that almost filled the sanctuary. Joyce, a very pretty girl always, was an unusually pretty bride in her Elizabethan gown of white chantilly lace and net over satin and with bonnet outlined with iridescent sequins and seed pearls. Religion, love, courtship, marriage, church life, are words whose mean ing blend into a thing full of mean ing and indescribable beauty. We all love young people who put first things first and are useful in church, home and community. Joyce is a faithful member of our church and we shall miss her when she goes to West Asheville to live after her honeymoon which we hear is being spent at Myrtle Beach. The sympathy of us all goes out to Joseph W. Hollifield and fam ily on account of the sudden death of his father Mr. John B. Holli field last Thursday at his home near Marion. Funeral services were held at 2:00 o’clock Sunday after noon at Garden Creek Baptist church by the pastor, the Rev. C. C. Parker, assisted by the Rev. H. H. Justice arid the Rev. M. A. Nun ally. Burial was in Hicks Chapel cemetery. Surviving arc four daughters, Mrs. Sallie Clampett of Hickory, Mrs. Gurley Foster and Mrs. Floyd Withrow of Marion, RFD 3, and Mrs. Margaret Runion, Charlotte. Also four sons, Misher of Spruce Pine, Harvey and Gordon of Marion, RFD 3, and Joseph W. of Ridgecrest. Attending the ser vices were Mr. and Mrs. Hollifield, Emily, Lavinia and Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Blair, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Pate, the Rev. Cecil M. Perry, the Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Johnson and Perry Morgan, Ridgecrest. The church house was filled to over flowing and there was an enormous bank of beautiful flowers. • TRY THE CLASSIFIEDS lllll!!l!!l|i|l!lllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllimilllllllllllllllli Postal Information INSURANCE: The domestic in surance service provides for in demnification in the event of loss of, or damage to, matter of the third and fourth classes in an amount equivalent to its actual value or cost of repairs.
