Last Tuesday evening, July 19,
Betty Jean Shook, Minnie, and I
went to Ridgecrest to hear Han
del’s great oratorio, The Messiah.
We got there rather late, and like
to have not found a place to sit,
but the music was heavenly and
worth every hardship. There were
over 3500 p'eople in the auditorium,
and everyone helped sing the Hal
lelujah Chorus—it was something
to hear. The first time we heard
The Messiah at Ridgecrest, that
great writer of hymns, R. B. Mc
Kenny, was there autographing
folk’s programs, it is such a pity
that he met an untimely death.
Glen Brooks has been acting sort
of droopy as he goes about his
job of fixing in the card room
here of late, but I think I know
what is wrong with him. He is
convalescing from the travail of be
coming a grandfather for the first
time.
Sarah and Mary LeMasters, and
Mrs. Bob LeMasters and children
of Swannanoa spent a delightful
vacation at Myrtle Beach last
week. They stopped by Rock Hill
and picked up relatives, Mrs. W.
A. Rudisill and children, who made
the trip with them. They started
on Tuesday, and came back on
Sunday evening. Sarah works with
us in "the cardroom, and is most
becomingly tanned, and looks very
rested. I didn’t think to ask her
if she had any thrilling adventures
like being rescued from the briny
deep by a handsome lifeguard.
Our good friend, John L. Hames,
delivered both the morning am
evening sermons at Mountain \ iew
last Sunday. His messages wen
soul-stirring and in every way sat
isfying.
Our pastor, the Rev. Eugene
Byrd, as you probably know, spoke
at the Burnett-Shope reunion on
Bee Tree. Minnie went on a- he
did. and as soon as I trot out ot
church I fired up the Chewy and
breezed down in time for lunch.
The afternoon was given over to
singing with W. C. Shope as mas
ter of ceremonies. It's been a
long time since I heard so many
top singers and musicians together
in one place. It was one of those
programs that one remember for
a lifetime.
When the crowd started to leave,
we went up to the Bee Tree dam.
and had a cozy visit with Mr. and
Mrs. Homer Reese.
Harry Morris and family en
joyed a vacation in northern \ ir
ginia last week. They visited the
I). E. Walkers of Front Royal.
Va„ while on this trip.
The Carl Pressleys of Asheville
visited the Fred Shooks this week
end. Mrs. Mae Pressley continues
to be very ill.
Our granddaughter, Connie Tay
lor, is taking up oil painting and
doing very well with it.
Several years ago a friend of
ours, a young lady in her early
twenties, married a man that must
have been past 60. As one would
expect he was fairly ‘‘well fixed."
although, she did not “marry for
money.” There was a deep and
abiding need for each other that
some people couldn't understand.
It was our pleasure to spend time
with this couple recently, the girl
had grown more beautiful, and
they seemed to be extremely hap
py. We asked them candidly how
things had worked out. They as
sured us that their years together
had been exceedingly pleasant
ones and one could tell that it was
so. Yes. girls, it is sometimes
better to be “an old man's darl
ing, than a young man’s slave.”
It is a marvel to me how pleas
ant factory workers are. When I
go in the mill in the mornings ev
eryone has a cheery salutation for
me. and if you meet a man 40 times
a day he nearly always speaks.
CAMPING ON
A NATIONAL FOREST
i
11'].. ih niiii'ii’wimii'iiwiii »»**•*.■■
Last year, more than 40 million visits to t n . ■
forests were made by recreationalists from all s a e..
Union for camping, picnicking, fishing. hun ‘J®’ tivitie9’
skiing. hikine. riding and numerous other outc < ___
To make these visits more
pleasant the Forest Service of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
has provided 4,400 improved
camping and picnicking grounds.
210 winter sports areas, 190
swimming places, and 120,000
miles of trail for hiking and
horseback. In addition, 79 wilder
ness, wild and primitive areas to
talling 14 million acres have been
set aside for those who want to
get completely away from the
auto horns of the roadside and
the jingle of the telephone.
The spending done by millions
of national forest recreational
users is an important source of
income to local business.
Use is so heavy at many of
these areas that caretakers are
unable to provide for adequate
cleanups. The Forest Service,
which is observing its Golden An
niversary this year, urges each
user to do a bit more than his or
her share to protect these recre
ation areas against damage and
to help in keeping them 'lean
and neat.
As population rises and mod
ern civilization becomes more
complex there will be increasing
public demand for the many
forms of healthful outdoor recrea
tion which our national forests
afford and which everyone needs
for spiritual and physical well
being.
