Your Telephone Manager HEY, FELLOWS! Want a tip on how to improve the menus at your house? Well, it’s easy as hot apple pie! Just get the Missus an extension phone for the kitchen. She’ll save so many steps and so much time, first thing you know she’ll be using those extra minutes to fix your favorite dishes day after day. And will she love that phone? Just ask her sometime when she’s stirring the pudding . . . watching the roast . . . and talking on her beautiful new color extension all at the same time! I hen ask yourself — when did you ever get so much pleasure and convenience for so little money? Why not give us a call? Get your handy kitchen phone right away! * * * HI RE AT THE TELEPHONE COMPANY we have a ■nighty special feeling about families. From our big fam ily of telephone workers right down to the folks at home ~~ yours and mine — we feel that families are mighty im portant. That’s why 1 want to bring you a reminder about a serious threat to your family’s health and happiness. T hat threat is cancer! It’s not a very pretty word. It’s not even something we like to think about, but it’s real, and estimates indicate that it will strike two out of 1 every three families. THE OLD ‘ OUNCE OF PREVEN TION ...” AXIOM can certainly apply here. You see, cancer is not a hopeless problem. Over 800,000 Amer icans have been saved from cancer be cause it was detected in time. For you that means regular physical checkups for your entire family — even it they feel line. This will greatly increase the chances of detecting cancer while it is still curable. THE AMERICAN CANCER SOC IETY urges us to fight this dread disease with a check-up and a check. Sounds like a smart idea to me. How about you. Mountain Musings As I write this column this morning, a clear, bright, windy April morning, my emotions are somewhat conflicting. I cannot escape a sense of solid satisfac tion as I look at God’s handi work, the beautiful yellow anil red blooming shrubs, the cheery jonquils, the colorful banks of thrift and all the other evidences of new life after the winter’s sleep. Withal, there is a feeling of sadness for the loss of two friends, Mrs. Ella Byrd and Bob by Harrison, in the days just past. How well I know the sense of loss and desolation that comes to the family when a loved one departs this world. Mrs. Ella Byrd, on her father’s side, was descended from the fine old Fortune family, pioneer set tlers of the Swannanoa Valley. Her grandfather, Squire Fletcher Fortune, a strong leader in the old Tabernacle church, at one time was one of the great landowners and slaveholders of the Valley. The present Tom Brown farm em braces the Fletcher Fortune home EXECUTRIX NOTICE Having this day qualified as Ex ecutrix of the Estate of Elizabeth Ellen Hooton, deceased, late of Buncombe County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons having claims against said estate to pre sent them to the undersigned, duly verified, on or before one year from the date hereof, or else this Notice will be plead in bar of re covery.

Ella Byrd’s mother was a Hamby, the daughter of Thomas and Susan Lytle Hamby. Susan Lytle was connected with the Lytle family, for whom Lytle Cove was named. This family, with great connections in both Buncombe and McDowell counties, also furnished great leadership in the old Taber nacle church. Ella Byrd’s hus band, Tom Byrd, a leading citizen in this community, passed away a number of years back. I have had the privilege of teaching one of this couple’s children, Sam, and a number of the grandchildren and their response has been good. The word in our community is that Tom and Ella Byrd raised a fine set of children and grandchildren. Perhaps I should make a note of explanation to my readers that are unused to mountain customs. In this Valley, it is not considered a mark of disrespect to address an older person by the first name. In fact, I believe two thoughts are conveyed. First, it is a mark of affection; secondly, people in this Valley do not grow old. There are people of my acquaintance who have passed the Biblical span inso far as chronological age is concern ed, but they are not old in attitude nor spirit; they are eternally young. My! what wonderful people we have. I revel in the joy of their fellowship. Our sympathy likewise is exten ded to Sara Pressley Harrison and her family. They have had so many losses and crosses to bear. The untimely death of the husband and father a number of years back, the son and brother killed in an auto accident just a few years ago, and now Bobby’s tragic accident. I was fond of Bobby. I first noticed him in the eighth grade at Black Mountain because he loved basket ball so well. Later at Owen, he was in my classes and was an obed ient and well-behaved boy; quite often he would ride with me to school in the mornings. On one occasion, Bobby helped me in some work at North Fork. As we work ed together, his natural reserve broke down and he talked of what he hoped to do in life. Those were good hours together, and now he is dead. In him I sensed a hunger for something good in life, a longing for something he could not express. I think that is true is so many of our young people today. Tomorrow, Sunday, God willing, ; the little Methodist church at Tab ernacle will extend again, as so 1 often in the past, its arms of com fort to grieving families. Again, ; as through the years, the old hymns will be sung and the humble men of God will proclaim words of 1 comfort and faith. ' Bobby Harrison was descended - from the man in whose home the ; old North Fork Baptist church was established in 1828. The Rev. Thos. Stradley, later founder of the 1 present First Baptist church of [ Asheville, is reputed to have con vened a meeting in the home of Ell I dredge Burnett for the purpose of establishing a church. The “Old ' Man Ellse Burnett” became, as Julie Walker said, the “main • spoke” in the old church for years. . Elldredge Burnett, who owned 1 much land and several slaves, was ' the father of Alfred Burnett, who ' was the father of Ellis Bumett, who was the father of Maggie Pressley, who was the mother of Sara Harrison, the mother of Bob ■_ by. So descendants from pioneer a neighbors will be buried from the same church on the same day. ’ The shocking news has just come _ to me of the accidental death of j Mrs. Willa Evans in Black Moun , tain. Mrs. Evans was a member of the well known Hall family, daugh ’ ter of the merchant “Lum” Hall, , and sister to my good triend, Miss I Annie Goodson. When I was a lad, her store was noted for its fine | selection of goods, and in recent ' years, I have greatly admired her beautiful flowers. 1 feel cheated that I never knew her better. This ties in with the old Valley super stition that when you hear of one death in the community, you will ■ soon hear of two more. Again, 1 express sympathy to more bereav ed people in our midst. Life is made up of sunshine and shadows. Right now, up and down the Valley, there are many palpita ting hearts because tonight the juniors of Charles D. Owen High School are entertaining the seniors with a banquet and prom at the George Vanderbilt hotel in Ashe ville. For some of our youngsters, this may be only the first of many social occasions; for some it will be one of the few times they will have this type of experience but to all it spells EXCITEMENT. Oh, the starry eyes of youth. (My wife and I are a little excited, too.) . At least the etiquette books will get a work-out and that special feeling tat comes from a dress up occasion will prevail. A new expression of affection: Our little daughter, Jackie, has a fine case of the red measles. These have certainly made her feel bad. When, on Friday, the fever and itching had her most miserable, she cried so much for Daddy that I was called home from work a little earlv to take over for my sorely tired wife. As I hastened home and entered the bedroom, my little besplotched daughter weepingly extended her arms to me. I inquir ed what the trouble was to be met by this response, “Daddy, I had a sickness for you.*’ Well, a little rocking in my fat lap, a little sing ing of “Bye, O, Baby” to the tune of “Come Thy Fount,” proved most efficacious, and soothing, healing sleep descended upon our little one. At least she didn’t say she was sick of me. I’ll bet Albert Cordell and Gor - NOTICE - The Black Mountain Lumber Co. SHOP will be Closed for Remodeling until further notice.

Ion Burnett have some tales to tell about their Florida trip. I’ll bet those good buddies wallowed in the ‘Fountain of Youth” to “beat the aand”, although I suspect they found that on the headwaters of the North Fork of the Swannanoa a long time ago. So much talk, so very confusing, I’ll have to rest this Mountain Musing. f Miss Miller Feted At Shower Mar. 27 Miss Glenda Miller, bride-elect of Arno W.
