It is pretty hard to keep from
editorializing when writing these
notes but we are sure our readers
don't care too much for our opin
ions hence we just try to report
community happenings. We are
only calling attention again to the
highway crossings and junctions
at Ridgecrest. Saturday night what
might well have been a catastrophe
occurred when two cars sideswiped
at the junction between the hotel
and Harris’ store. Some hurts but
no deaths.
Driving behind a car with a
North Carolina license tag between
Ridgecrest and Rlack Mountain we
saw a sign on the car ahead of us
which read “Slow Down and Live.”
Pretty good advice. Will you take
it?

Gainesville. Dr. Rohde is a vio
linist of great note.
Mr. W. E. Mason and his sor

weighing six pounds. Don’t try L
imitate them, boys, unless you are
real anglers.
Contractor Paul Turner began
laying the foundation for the new
store of Paul Harris alongside the
new' postoffice building Monday
morning. Foundation ditches were
dug last week by Clifton V. Gray
who is assisting Mr. Turner in the
erection of the building. The build
ing will be modern in every respect
with glass, lighting, windows,
equipment and furnishings. The
community can well be proud of it.
Ridgecrest is really getting a
face lifting with the new highway
project running through here.
Curves eliminated, travel lanes
widened, houses moved to new
sites, road crossings with new
markers, bridges broken up, bigger
culverts installed, ti’ees removed,
banks cut down, fills raised, the
new road bed leveled off, barriers
and blocks put up to guide traffic.
V'hen all this work is completed
the route from Old Fort to Black
Mountain will really look like Fair
yland to the traveler.
The registration for the Home
Mission conference at noon Monday
was 1003. The conference closed
Wednesday. Today the Ridgecrest
Bible conference opens and will
continue through noon August 25.
There will be six other conference
programs interwoven with the Bi
ble conference program.
Our friend Dr. Charles E. Mad
dry. Hillsboro, where he is pastor
of the Baptist church called on us
at our office Monday morning. Dr.
Maddry was State Mission secre

Union secretary back in the roar
ing twenties. We traveled togeth
er, spoke from the same platform,
attended conventions, conferences
and Mission Rallies together. Leav
ing the work in North Carolina
Dr. Maddry became our Southwide
Promotion secretary, then for sev
eral years he was our Foreign Mis
sion secretary. As such he became
a world traveler in the interest
of Missions. At retirement age he
returned to North Carolina and
“re-tired” for the task of becom
ing pastor of the Hillsboro church
where he entered the ministry and
held his first pastorate about six
ty years ago.
