I got hold of a "roadman Hymnal that the Stanley Russes of Vero Reach, Fla., had presented the church a long time back and in which 1 had printed in my large rambling hand, Property of Mountain View Baptist Church.” the selection of hymns was good. Each one brought back memories and conveyed great spiritual messages. The strains of When We Alt Get To Heav en, Washed In the Rlood of the Lamb and others of the great old hymns swelled across the peaceful green val ley of the North Fork. The special music by the Sheriff’s quartet was unusual ly good. The day was made more complete by Mr. and Mrs. A\ . C. Shone who sang a lovely duet. Judy remarked to me that her first memory ot a North Fork Homecoming was hearing this fine couple sing, How Long Must We Wait After the service had con cluded Morris (formerly Maude Walker) remarked to my wife that Odin would have enjoyed the music and that she was carrying some of the beautiful flowers to place on his grave. Cousin Mac and the Rev, Robert Clayton said some very nice things about my contributions to the church in the past. It’s a wonder my ego didn’t overcome me with such encouragement; in stead I was made to feel most hum ble. To conclude the services, the congregation sang Rlest Re The Tie and then as only North Fork can sing it, God Re With You. In an atmos phere tingling with sw'eet and mixed emotions, the fine young pastor pronounced the benediction and another Home coming had passed into his tory.

Before I left, 1 felt impelled to go up to the cemetery where 1 could think of the many fine citi zens of the Valley that had passed away. The people who had placed flowers had made the burial ground a place of beauty. The faithful work of Howard Willet in mowing the cemetery deserves great praise. I was touched and pleased to see a nice vase of flowers decorating the plot that contains the Unknown Dead of North Fork. Around the church it was not hard to see evidences of the skillful touches of Lucille Morris, who keeps the Lord’s House so well. I lingered a good while (I must be getting like Ada Bur nett). I guess Howard and Pansy and Carl Patton, who, good hosts that they are, ling ered also thought they would have to shoot us to get us off the hill. larsonage Contains Memories At the Homecoming- we heard that Evelyn Shook (Wade Shook, Jr.’s wife) was sick so we dropped in at the parsonage, presently occupied by the Shooks, to see her. We were happy to find her better and to see her mother and her brother, Yancey. Yancey used to play football for Black Mountain High school and was about the most faithful to practice of anybody I ever knew. Also he w*as the be loved friend of B. H. Chand ler. As I stood in the living room, the quiet beauty of the poplar panelling impressed it self upon me. This panelling was salvaged from the old church when it was torn down by the City of Asheville. I noticed the walls in the bed room, the materials were brought from the old Ernest Walker house located on the Caney Allison place well up on North Fork. I remem bered Clyde Nanney, George Golightly, Clyde Gray, Grover Brookshire, I. T. Brooks, Chester Miller, John Reese, Earl Jolly, B. H. Chandler, the Morrises and others as they worked here. Likewise others had done a great deal since I s had left this place. Outside one could behold the artistic rock work of Ranse Williams. I’ve often heard the expres sion, “If these walls could talk . . .” Well these walls do talk, and I can understand a part of what they say. Too Much Kick I journeyed down to see the Owen Warhorses engage the Reynolds team on Friday last. It was a beautiful evening, the new scoreboard, the bright lights, our fine band and ma jorettes, the gay crowd com bined to make quite a spec tacle. Our team lost by the margin of one touchdown, and the difference between the two teams was Reynold’s skillful use of the quick kick which time and time again set the Warhorses back on their heels. It made some of us think of the great Duke team in the late thirties that used the booming punts of Eric Tipton and a rock ribbed de fense to defeat the outstand ing teams of the nation. This boy Stroup from Reynolds boomed out some fine kicks. (Some of them made me think of the heyday of Charlie Reese, Gene Hughey and Ben Marett.) II til U UCl ISIU1I One day last week a lad in one of my classes questioned my pronunciation of a word Upon analysis of the word, I came to the conclusion that I had been slovenly in my us age and that the young man was correct. After a lapse of five minutes during time allotted for study, I observed : this young fellow leaning' for : ward, busily engaged in con i versation with a young lady. Now, I have a rule that dur ing a study period a student does not speak without per mission. As I opened my i mouth to reprimand the [young transgressor, the thought came to me. If 1 get after him, the rest of the class i will think I am riding him I because he dared question me. It’s nearly time for the ; bell, just overlook it. What i would you have done, Dear i Reader ? What do you think [ I did, former students ? See this column next week for the answer to this question. Tell Us Parents! Last week a lad in our school got well raked over the coals by his home room teach er and the principal for ap parent disobedience. The boy’s problem goes back to being a little hard of hearing, a weakness which in youthful pride he will hardly admit. Every teacher should be in formed of this difficulty; so many hurt feelings could be saved. Last year I had a student that had a voice impediment. Forewarned, I took great care not to place her in a spot that would chagrin her in any way. I could cite other examples. It boils down to the neces sity for parents and teachers working closely together to insure the best interests of the lads and lassies in our schools. Much better teachers we could be If all the facts we could plain ly see. I £ J The Ricketts family will be d among the artists at the In- ( dian Fair which began Oct. fi.

Your Telephone Manager rHERE’S A GREAT TV SHOW FRIDAY NIGHT Yhen the Bell Telephone Hour begin* a new season >f special hour-long programs. There’ll be music, singing ind dancing by such fine entertainers as the Kingston rrio, Red Nichols and his Five Pennies, Connee Boswell ind Alfred Drake.

Check your newspaper or local time and station. SPEAKING OF TELEVISION, many homes have a special kind of TV interference — the teenager telephone chats. The young people have a lot to talk about, what with all the school and social activities. Still, the rest of the family want to hear TV or radio, or maybe just have their own conversations. You can make the whole family happy by giving teenagers a bedroom extension phone. Then, they can chat in private and not bother anyone. Just call our Business Office and see how little an extention phone costs. * * * I SOMETIMES WONDER if folks realize what great work it takes to get out the newspapers that serve our communities. The papers are mighty important to all of us. Newspaper folks are observing National Newspaper Week October 15-21 and Sigma Delta Chi, the professional journalism fraternity, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Hats off to the journalists for doing a good job of keep ing us informed. The better informed we are, the better our chances to keep our freedoms. A free press is one of the foundations of democracy.
