VJULSUUULVJUUULXJOOUOOOC*
Today as 1 begin this col
umn we stand on the thresh
hold of thi-s new year. The
name January is derived from
the Roman (rod Janus — the
two-headed god. to whose care
the month was dedicated a
looking both into the past and
the future, and as the deity
who busied himself with the
beginnings of all* things. To
day as we look into the past
we see many things we would
change if we could. We may
profit by all the mistakes and
shortcomings of yesterday if
we will. We have the clean
sheet of today and of all the
tomorrows on which to write
our records. What will that
record be a year from tonight
as we stand and look back on
it ? We turn our eyes and
our hearts to the future in
hope, in faith and complete
trust in God. knowing that,
whether He leads “in green
pastures and by still waters ’
or “thru the valley of the
shadow,” to walk in the dark
holding His hand is better
than to walk alone in the light.
Most of us make New Tear
resolutions. Some of mine
are: to be a little more kind
to all people, to be mindful of
the little things that mean so
much, to think in some defin
ite way of those who are old
and lonely, to appreciate the
good in everybody and to tell
them so, to love a little more
deeply and sincerely those
whom Christ loves, to speak
words of encouragement to
those around me. We never
know the burdens and heart
aches even of our friends. How
wonderful it will be if we will,
this year, put into practice a
few of these things! It will do
more for us than for those
whom we help.
I had thought I was going
to spend Christmas in my be
loved “hut on the hill at the
head of the hollow”; but it
was not to bo. Thomas called
Tuesday night and said both
children had been sick and it
would help so much if I would
come to them instead of their
trying to pack up two children
and all then- accoutrements,
leaving Charlotte in the little
Volkswagen about T o'clock
on Christmas eve! With such
an appeal 1 did what any
mother and "gramma" would
have done. Mr. and Mrs. \\ .
1. Willis have a daughter liv
ing here in Charlotte and Mrs.
Willis called Wednesday morn
ing to tell me that if 1 want
ed to go to Charlotte I could
go right along with them on
Christmas Eve. So it was all
worked out for me so easily.
It was so good to get a glimpse
of Iris, who is Mrs. Tom Bur
nett. her fine Dr. husband,
Tom. the four lovely children.
Dianne, Michael, Beth, and
little Tommy. Thomas drove
over there to get me. Then I
had the joy of being with
Thomas, i’atsv, little Ben, and
dear little Ginny on Christ
mas morning. We were a lit
tle sad that David could not
be with us that day; hut he
had only one day and it was
too strenuous a trip for just
a three-hour visit. It was the
first time in his life that he
had been separated from all
of us at Christmas. He came
on Sunday, though, with his
wife, Christine, and little Da
vid, and took me back to Fay
etteville with them. A 'phone
message came from Thomas
on Monday saying that l’at
sy’s mother had died in Los
Angeles and he wondered if 1
would come back and keep
little Ginny. Patsy and little
Ben left on a Monday p.m.
flight for Los Angeles. Thom
as was scheduled to be in Ra
leigh to cover the Dixie Clas
sics, so he left for there after
taking Ginny to a friend’s
home to stay till we could get
bu-k to Charlotte Thursday
afternoon. Christine and lit
tle David took me to the
Claude Gaddy’s in Raleigh
Wednesday p.m. This is al
ways an interesting place to
go.’ for it is just about “Bap
tist Headquarters” in North
Carolina; and this time was
no exception. Coming in for
supper were Dr. Glenn Black
burn, pastor of the Baptist
church at Wake Forest col
lege. his voung son. and Dr.
1 H. Hollingsworth, the chap
lain at the college. These had
come down to see Wake For
est play in the classics. Thurs
day morning we set out for
Charlotte. It is a real joy
to take care of a little five
months old even if I do feel a
bit rusty. After a day or two
it all comes back and I lose
much of the tension and begin
to take it easy.
Life is so uncertain. We
must make the best of every
day. A letter came from my
sister in Catskill New York
today saying that her hus
band’s sister and brother,
Marion and Albert Hutton,
had spent Christmas Day in
Catskill with them and that
night drove back to Albany
where they live. The next
afternoon Albert went to his
sister’s apartment to take her
somewhere and found her dead
in bed. She had died in her
sleep.
If this seems to be a family
letter I do hope you will for
give me. As you -see I am
really a Ridgecrest Rambler
living up to my name!
lam anxious to get home
and see what has been happen
ing in ‘‘them thar hills.” Mr.
Weeks was going Christmas
week to St. Petersburg for a
reunion planned by about 100
Staffers.
Mr. and Mrs. Larsen had
planned to set out on Satur
day after Christmas Day to
visit his brother in Chicago.
Mr. and Mrs. Pate left Dec.
30 for a trip to the Baptist
hospital in Winston.
I wish I knew more of the
happenings at home to write
you about. I will try to make
up for it when I do get back.
We will all be interested in
plans in the offing for Ridge
crest. The Florida Motel has
taken on another story and

Bethlehem. It was to shepherds such as these that an Angel
appeared telling of the marvelous birth that was taking place in
their village. (Jordan)
Talk About a Bargain...
Most women do! And nothing’s handier for
sharing good news than the bargain you talk with—
your telephone. Use it all you like to bring pleasure to
yourself and others. Save time and steps.
Warm up friendships. No matter how many local calls
you make, there’s never an extra penny’s charge.
And no cost for repairs either.
Talk about a bargain!

EASEMENTS
What is an easement?
An easement is an interest
in land which entitles the own
er of the easement to use
and enjoy land in the posses
sion of another. An ease
ment entitles a person to do
acts on the land of another
which he would otherwise not
be privileged to do.
The construction and main
tenance of telephone and elec
tric or power lines on your
land is an easement. You
continue to own the land and
to enjoy its possession. The
public utility has merely a
limited use of the land you
own.
A public utility may acquire
an easement by condemnation
proceedings.
An adjoining property own
er may acquire by easement
the right to project onto your
land the eaves, cornices or
bay-windows of his house. He
cannot do so, however, with
out your consent. If you ob
ject to a person using your
property in any way you must
take legal action to stop such
within twenty years.
An easement may be ac
quired by prescription, with
out your consent, where there
has been a continued uninter
rupted adverse use for twenty
years. A mere permissive use
is not sufficient; it must be
adverse.
Other examples of ease
ments are: the right to cross
when I left it didn’t look as
if it would be too long before
it would be completed. They
tell us that in the not too dis
tant future Pritchelle will give
place to a more modern and
safe brick structure. 1 am
glad I live where I can see all
this as it is happening. When
one can witness the changes
they do not bring the shock
that one feels on coming back
to a place and seeing every
thing so different.
We do not know what this
New Year of 19(50 holds for
any of us; but we do who
holds this year and all the
years ahead. It is my sincere
wish for us all that He will
give us the courage to blaze
new trails in faithful service.
Till 1 greet you from my
majestic mountains. I beg to
remain your roaming, rico
cheting. rambling Ridgecrest
er.

another’s land, the right to
lake water from another’s
land, the right to use a stair
way or a toilet on another’s
land, the right to erect adver
tising signs, and the right to
maintain a dam that floods
hack water upon adjacent
land.
Must easements be in writ
ing
Express easements must be
in writing, because they in
volve an interest in land. They
are generally created by an
express grant in the form of
a deed.
Implied easements are ease
ments acquired by a continued
and uninterrupted adverse use
for twenty years and need not
be in writing.
What is an implied ease
ment ?
Where one conveys a part
of the real property he owns,
he impliedly grants all those
apparent or visible easements
upon the property retained
which were at the time of the
conveyance by the grantor for
the benefit of the part con
veyed, and which are reason
ably necessary for the use of
that part.
For example, if a two story
building with offices on the
second floor is conveyed, and
at the time of the execution
of the deed the only means of
ingress or egress to the sec
ond floor was by a stairway
and hall through an adjoining
building owned by the grant
or, the purchaser acquires by
implication a continued right
to use this stairway and hall.
