WHAT IS THIS COMING
YEAR?
It is a door,
By which we reach new fields
Of service for our God and
fellow man:
A door by which we can
Explore
Wide spheres of usefulness
Our world to bless;
And reap the sheaves God’s
Word of witness yields.
It is a task
Set by the Master of our souls,
A little part of our life’s work
below:
And so we ask
The holy wisdom, which alone
controls
Our labor, teaching what and
where to sow:
That the year, at its end,
May show God’s glory and
man’s profit blend.
It is a book,
With many pages and as yet
all white,
On which to write
The history of thought, and
deed, and word
In this- new group of days.
We pray Thee, Lord,
As Thou shalt look
l pon the book, when written
o’er ,may all be to Thy praise.

Mountain Musings
by Gene Byrd
Happy Now Year and
Happy New Decade
As we leave the fabulous
fifties and venture into the
unknown quantities of the six
ties, there is much to look
hack and consider. Much has
transpired in the past ten
years that has greatly affect
ed our lives in many ways.
Our sleepy little valley has
seen the burgeoning of new
industry and new prosperity.
We have had the privilege of
making new friends and ex
perienced the loss of old ones.
We have made advances in
some fields and sustained los
ses in others. We have wit
nessed the coming of uneasy
peace with the unsatisfactory
termination of the Korean
conflict: the impact of the Su
preme Court’s segregation de
cision has been felt in the
Southland and elsewhere.
Teen age and adult delinquen
cy and criminality have con
stituted a problem. Educa
tionally' we have been shaken
out of our comfortable rut by
Russian developments and
schools no longer merit the
description of “glorified play
houses and de luxe baby sit
ting agencies.” Our commun
ities have experienced the
mixed blessing of a consoli
dated high school program.
Personally I feel that dur
ing the last hectic ten years,
1 had maturity forced upon
me. The loss of my mother
and father in the span of elev
en months, a division in the
church I loved so dearly, the
demise of greatly loved
friends and the moving away
of others, my flivst losing
season in athletics, some ad
verse financial circumstances
all combined to make me feel
that “I had been through the
mill.” Yet, 1 have evolved
enough philosophy to see that
there is good in the things
that we presently adjudge as
bad and that there is often
an element of bad in the things
we feel to be good. Many
good things have happened to
me and mine and “counting
my blessings” makes me hum
ble and happy as the old year
wanes. (1 count my Dear
Readers among those bless
ings.)
V mong My Christmas Cards
1 believe our Christmas
cards this year have been the
nicest ever. So many have
emphasized the sacred and
spiritual side of the season,
but the best part by far has
been the little personal nota
tions that add so much to the
oftentimes cold printed word.
I missed hearing from some
who have faithfully communi
cated over the years, but I
welcome the newcomers.
Chilly Angels
Among our presents, we
received some trivets to hang
on the wall. These were in
the form of somewhat scanti
ly clad representatives of oc
cupants of the world to come.
Jackie inquired what these
were. Upon being informed
by her mother that these were
“angels,” Jackie forthrightly
stated that when she died and
went to heaven, she planned to
wear more clothes than that.
To An Old Lady in a
Checkered Apron
I was pleased at the re- I
spouse to my statement that
1 would be happy to hear from I
my readers if they felt ini- j
pellod to talk back. One re
sponse from “way up there in I
Michigan" was particularly!
appreciated. Dear Lady, you
are often in our prayers and i
we covet, your continued in- j
terest. (Do you suppose an- |
other dose of Bobby’s “hyp- |
nosis” would help?)
Time Is the Essence
In response to several re
quests, 1 do hope that it will
be possible for me to compile 1
a history of the upper Swan- j
nanoa Valley. I feel that a ;
hurriedly compiled slip-shod j
effort would be a reflection I
on the ability of the writer;
and the intelligence of the I
readers. The old mountain
saying, “Anything worth do- |
ing is worth doing right,” ap
plies. Also there are those
who have queried concerning
some serious attempt at writ- i
ing. Naturally, this is flat
tering to me, and I have j
thought along these lines.
Whether I have the ability to
do such is, of course, an un
letermined factor. Needless
to say, I appreciate the faith j
you have expressed in me.
Presently my many interests
have me spread pretty thin,
md it takes leisure to create. 1
We shall see.
togetherness
A few' days back, I stood !
md watched a man and his
,wo sons deftly cutting and i
uimming pork on a spacious j
able. There was no lost mo- !
don; they worked in unison 1
md they worked well. As 1
.hey worked, I thought how :
rood it was for a family to I
work together: being together
seemed to make the work
pleasurable. How underfill
for an older man to have two
stalwart sons to stand hy his
side, profiting from h'.-i ex
perience and ahsm his
wisdom. There’s lots of pleas
ures that cannot b< measured
by tangible standard .
Norwood Nearly Made il
During the holidays, Jerry
McCracken, my si ■, >■ i;(.no
va’s son. was a guest jp 0ur
home. He is a ft simian at
N. State. I listed a num
ber of students from here
wondering if by ch«. he had
become acquainted with any
of them. The na e Carroil
Norwood rang a bell. "Why,”
he -said, “that name is famil
iar. It. was on fanners all
over the campus during the
election for president of the
freshman class. He almost
won, and if I had known he
was from Black Mountain, I
would have voted for him.”
Tell them where you are from,
Carroll and congratulations
on a worthy effort.
Incidentally, I am happy to
number Carroll among' my
readers. Maybe, I'll break
loose with some of that “real
cool poetry,” you mentioned
ere long.
“I don’t know wha he future
holds
But I know who holds the fu
ture,” a man has said.
Let this be our faith in the
year ahead.

and He provides our daily
bread.
