Raleigh Roundup BOREDOM—If this be trea son, make the most of it—but just a lot of the recent Na tional Democratic Convention bored me to bed. 1 got awfully tired—and I’ll bet you did, too—with all those long-winded, pompous, big bellied, hog-calling speeches. And, mostly, the demonstra tions seemed childish, useless, and used entirely too much time for nothing . . . particu larly on those favorite son things. I would say the most boring speech of the whole she-bang was the Bowles speech, deliv ered from the side of his mouth, and given with wry grins on rugged planks in the platform. To me. Terry Sanford made a nice little, interesting, and 1 thought effective seconding speech for John Kennedy. Gov ernor Hodge- wasn’t bad at all —and the senator from Min nesota who nominated Adlai Stevenson made an excellent speech. If that is a sample of his usual talk, he is the best around in our book. WHY? — F rankl y, we thought Sen. Sam Ervin, whom we admire very much, was not at his best. His jokes, like those of Convention Chairman Leroy Collins and others, fell completely flat. Much of the trouble Brother Collins had with keeping those aisles cleared and getting at tention. was due to the fact that the delegates couldn’t’ hear a word—because of the terrible acoustics of the hall. Most of the speeches we heard seemed to lack sincer ity. There was too much bel lowing and not enough sense. To keep the confidence of the millions of people looking in, future political conventions must be more streamlined, factual, with more serious ap proach and less tommyrot. The Republican National Convention coming up next week in Chicago will be no better—and in many respects will be worse. BACK TO ’28?—A lot of those people who professedly '•fear” that North Carolina will go Republican this fall privately hope it will go Re publican. They still carry heavy loads of grief and bit terness at recent events. But most Democrats think we will win in November—and are determined we shall win. But this can’t be done with our usual rather casual, weak kneed approach. North Caro lina Democrats need more of the Kennedy fire, zeal, excite ment, and sense of challenge. Perhaps our young leaders will make us more effective. In 1928, Herbert Hoover beat A1 Smith in North Caro lina 348,023 to 286,227. But in our opinion A1 Smith was not even in the same league with John Kennedy as a vote getter and a personality. Also, Herbert Hoover in 1928 was almost as much of a Democrat as he was a Republican. He had been a close associate of Wilson and other good Demo crats—and was not known pri marily as a party man. Com pare that with Nixon today. CAME FDR. — In 1932, Franklin I). Roosevelt took Herbert Hoover in this State by 148,643 votes. In 1936, he defeated Alf Landon bv 392, 858! Then came on the scene W. Willkie, whose son is now running for State Superintend ent of Schools on the Repub lican ticket in Missouri. The Republicans said they had found their Man and, besides, FDR was running for an un precedented third term and had fifth columnists in his own ranks known as Liberty Leaguers. When the votes were counted, it was found Roosevelt had beaten Willkie in N. C. by nearly 400,000 votes—actually, 395,382. That was in 1940. Tom Dewey has been to the Republican Party what Adlai Stevenson has to the Demo cratic Party. Both are fine men, each has a lot of power in his party, each is an intel lectual, both have been nomi nated twice by their parties, and both have been defeated twice. Roosevelt faced the nation for a fourth time in 1944 against Tom Dewey. In North Carolina, he downed Tom Dewey by 264,244 votes. This was FDR’s smallest margin of victory ii Tarheelia since 1932. TURNIPS — On the scene came Harry Truman. He seem ed to have few fighting friends as he sat almost alone long hours in Philadelphia a waiting his party’s nomina tion. It was a lonely vigil in the Philadelphia railroad sta tion. We could not keep our mind off the scene last week as we watched the relative ease with which Kennedy won the nomination. We liked that Kennedy speech—loved it. in fact—but thought it could not compare in fight with Tru man’s turnip-seed-sowing-time in-Missouri address 12 years ago. In their heart, few Dem ocrats thought Harry Truman could win. He beat Dewey in North Carolina by 200,498 votes— despite the fact that Henry Wallace got 3,915 votes in this State and Strom Thurmond. 69,652. I just can't think the Democratic Party is in as bad shape this year as it was in 1948 with the splinter parties. THE HERO—The war had been won and Gen. Dwight Eisenhower was a world and national hero. He won the elections mostly as a national hero rather than as a Repub lican. But Stevenson downed Ike by 94,696 votes in 1952 in N. C., the Democrats’ smallest victory margin since 1928. In 1056, Stevenson beat Ike again in N. C. This time by only 15.468 votes. Quite a drop from the 395,392 of only 16 years earlier. A lot of work in mending broken fences, in salving re cent wounds, must, come in the Democratic Party in North Carolina this summer if the Front Line Fighters are to win this fall as their forebears did a generation ago. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.

Brothers A. T. Usher, Robert Gray. Kenneth Donald, and myself concur in the belief that this ought to be done as soon as practicable. Realizing that it would be difficult and perhaps confus ing to carry through a Relig ious census during the sum mer season, we are suggesting the date of Sunday, Sept, 11, and the week following, for a United Religious Census, with all the churches coop erating that are able to do so. Please consider this as you judge best, and talk with your members about it. We plan to call a preparatory meeting on Monday, Aug. 15, at 8:00 p.m. at the Black Mountain Presbyterian church. We would appreciate your pres ence. along with one or more interested members from your church. Cordially. John McWhorter REFLECTIONS Gordon Greenwood HOW DO YOU RATE? On Being Wise to Yourself—A recent analysis states: “If you have reached your 70th birthday, this may startle you. If you are not yet 70, perhaps these figures will encourage you to make some changes. “Statistics show that the average person of 70 years has spent—3 years in education; 8 years in amusement; 6 years in eating; 11 years in working; 24 years in sleeping; 5¥2 years in washing and dress ing; 6 years in walking; 3 years in conversation; 3 vears in reading; and 6 months in worshipping God.” —R— TWO OR THREE PAID! The merchant was busy and couldn't remember who it was that picked up the saddle and walked out saying: “Charge this to me.” After thinking it over for some time, the merch ant did the next best thing: he charged it to four of his best prospects. By doing this he knew that he was sure to hit the right one. “And. you know.” he explained years later, “this sure is an honest world, because three of those fellows came in and paid for the saddle.” —R— 1960 SCHEDULE ! The 1960 Owen High school football schedule is to be released soon and it's a honey. If you don't believe it, wait and see. The Warhorses, under direction of Coaches Barn well, Singleton. Ditt, and Lyda play ALL—and I do mean all—the strong teams in Western North Caro lina. If they missed one, it isn’t their fault. They open at the Stadium against Lee Edwards and then play all the Buncombe county teams, with Brevard, Waynesville, Canton, and a few more thrown in for good measure. If they break even with this backbreaker. they’ll have to go some. —R— BEN IVEY HONORED Ben Ivey, supervisor of cost and inventory con trol at Kearfott, is a better than average golfer. Recently on a course in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Ivey brushed up his steel and scored a hole-in-one. For this achievement he was awarded a trophy in a cere mony by Charlie Riley, plant manager here. A pic ture of the presentation appeared in “Kearfacts, news paper for General Precision, Inc.”, of which the plant here is a division —R— PRINTING CUSTOMERS, NOTE! We have no quarrel with the guy with lower prices. He knows what his stuff is worth. —R— DON'T FEAR CRITICISM The galleries are full of critics. They play no ball. Thev fight no fights. They make no mistakes because thev attempt nothing. Down in the arena are the doers They make mistakes because they attempt things. . Ford forgot to put a reverse gear in his first automobile. Edison once spent $2,000,000 on an in vention which proved of little value. The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure. He is the one who never tries anything. He is the brake on the wheel of progress. And yet it cannot be truly said that he makes no mistakes, because the biggest mistake he makes is the very fact that he tries nothing, and does nothing except to criticize those who do things. A man may make mistakes, but he isn’t a failure until he starts blaming someone else. Every man must do his own growing, no mat ter who his grandfather was. Always keep in mind the part that mood can play in affecting one’s judgment of a piece of work; be cautious of enthusiasm when the sun shines bright, and slow to dismissal when the clouds hang low. —J. Donald Adams. ^^ immm NORTH FORK NEWS By Blanche Burnette Route 1, Black Mountain Mountain View Sundae school had an attendance ol 112 on Sunday, July 17. Rev Robert G.

Vernon This week’s Silo Circle Play house production is a wonder ful and touching comedy, "Kind Sir” by Norman Kras na. It tells the story of an indiscreet affair between an actress and a financial wizard of the State Department. Suzy Saunders, as actress Jane Kimball, turns out a mar velous interpretation, as does her diplomatic suitor Philip Clair, played bv John Stephen Cox. Equally well done were sup porting roles of Margaret Munson, by Mary Gonzalez, who was, as she always is, de lightfully wonderful. George Riddle, as Alfred, was Clevel and humorous. Anne Gray’s portrayal of the maid was ex cellent, as was James Hopkins’ funny befuddled interpretation of Carl Miller, the wardrobe man. Under the direction of Will Haas, the Silo troupe has turned out another winner that will tickle and amuse you no end. Sets were beautifully exe cuted by James Hopkins. “Kind Sir’” is worth seeing just for the lavish display of Ptolemy’s costumes worn bv Mary Gonzalez and Susy Saunders. Performances will he given at 8:30 p.m. each eve ning through Saturday. The Green Room art this week is by Ernest opuemei <« nationally known commercial designer and painter now re siding at 41 Rash road in \\ est Asheville. You’ll want to see these too. Wading Pool u Britches Arc Thrown In Lake The regular monthly meet ing of the Tea & Topic club was held on Monday, July 11. I960, at the home of Mrs. A. P. Perley with 11 members present, and two guests: Mrs. Rush Whiteside and Mrs. J. N. Bickett of Spencer, N. C. The club was gratified to hear that the new tennis court was completed and in full use. Two club members reported on an inspection trip to the wading pool and found the water quite clean, but were disconcerted on learning from Ross Taylor that the benches which the club provided for use of the mothers, had been thrown in the lake. Mrs. Greene volunteered to make inquiry about the possibility of installing the plank type of bench at the wading pool. The literary half of the pro gram was given by Mrs. Cool ey and Mrs. Rush Whiteside. Two books were reviewed un der the topic of “The Older Generation.” Both these books dealt with interesting side lights and anecdotes of life among the millionaire families of the Philadelphia Drexels and Riddles, and include sket ches of the No. Car. tobacco Dukes. A pleasant social hour fol lowed. RIDGECREST RAMBLINGS —MRS. TOM E. WALTERS— Phone: NO 9-4641 0000000000 This will seem like a very quiet week since the excite ment of the Los Angeles con tention. It just remains to be seen what the following months will bring t > pass. \Yi are sure there will be great activity along many lines. 1 am not a politician, and it seems so strange to have to read all this political pow wow and try to get something intelligible out of it. Tom al ways read all that and gave me a digest of it. It has been quite strange to me that each party thinks the other is a group of scalawags. If we follow that a little we could draw the conclusion that the whole country is just a bunch of nitwits. It surely looks as if in a so-called Christian country that the hosts of Christian people could get God’s man in the President’s seat this fall. In the years to come, maybe after we have gone thru a period of captivi ty, as the people of Israel did, we will realize that God in deed has His hands on His world. If we do not carry out the plans He has for us, there are other people who will. All these blessings that the Unit ed States enjoys, carry with them added responsibilities. This past week the Hardins had with them their son, Clyde Hardin, his wifi and children, Clyde Jr., Charles and Clifton. Clyde is a physicist in Elec tronic research in the Defense Department of the Govern ment and lives in Roekcille, Md. One of the Hardins love ly daughters is also with them for a few days—Mrs. James Sawyer, her husband and chil dren, Jimmy, Janet and Gin ger from Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Sawyer is a consultant engi neer. On Friday I heard my name called at my back door and there were three of my sis ter Sallie’s sisters-in-law from Mt. Airy. They were Misses Grace and Louise Foy, Mrs. Clara Foy Clark and her daughter, Ann Clark. I was glad to have first hand news from my sister even though it was not encouraging. It looks as if she is gradually losing ground. I guess we should not be too hopeful since the surgeon said that her even being alive is a miracle. The Foys were on their way to spend the week-end at the fa mous Nu Wray Inn in Burns ville. I had never been there until two years ago when Sal lie and her daughter took me over there. The table they set is really fabulous laden with every conceivable meat, vegetable, and dessert. It all tastes like real country cook ing, everybody should go there once in a lifetime. The Inn is furnished throughout in lovely antiques. It has been in this same family for many years. Miss Lois Carter has re turned from Los Angeles where she attended the Nation al Education Association. Her mother spent that time in Nashville with another daugh ter, Mrs. W. J. Fallis. The Fallis and Carter family have such an attractive home here. A dear friend of Training School days is visiting me for a few days. She is Mrs. Bess Courtney from Richmond, Va. She is librarian in the Rich mond Professional Institute of the College of William and Mary. She has shared the joys and sorrows of all these years since 1920. She has seen our children grow from baby hood. They call her “Aunt Bess”. She loves children, but she likes for them to obey and she was always such a help. She is very meticulous and likes for things to be just right. Once when she was com ing for a visit David said. “Mama give me the oil can and let me oil these doors. You know Aunt Bess doesn’t like to hear them squeak.” My house work always went more smoothly when she came for a visit. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Anthony and their daughter, Lucy, have been visiting their cousins Mamie and Grace Meeks for a few days, the daughter, Fran ces has been at Camp Crest ridge for the first session and they came to take her home to Hopewell, Va. Mrs. B. S. Meeks has as her guests her son, Dr. Spencer Meeks, and his family from Indonesia. The little grand children are Sandra and Bar ry. Dr. Meeks teaches science in the University of Indone sia. When the Dutch had to get out of Indonesia the Uni versity was left short of teach ers. Dr. Meeks, with 40 other teachers, was sent out under the contract teams; and then expenses are paid by the In donesian government. Dr. Meeks was sent for a period of two years; but he has been requested to go back for an other period of service. On Monday Mrs. Courtney went to the Craftsmen’s Fair in Asheville. That is one of the most interesting experiences of the summer for me. To see those Master Craftsmen from all over our Appalachian Highlands plying their high ly developed skills is an in spiration never to be forgot ten. A few years ago 1 got one of the lovely braided wool rugs made by one of the mas ter craftsmen over near Burnsville. It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It will last my lifetime and that of my children. At the service at the As sembly on Sunday night Dr. C. C. Warren spoke briefly about the “Thirty Thousand Movement” of which he is the author. Last year Dr. Warren suffered a severe heart at tack from which he has recov ered wonderfully. For many years he was pa-stor of Char lotte’s great First church and was also president of the Southern Baptist Convention. He has been one of the most useful men in all our Baptist life; and we hope for the sake of our work that he has many more useful years. Mrs. C. B. Carrol, her daughter Sandra and niece Beverly from Jacksonville, Fla., are occupying one of Mrs. Pearl Perkin’s apartments for a month. The young adults had a picnic on Tuesday evening at the Recreation Park near Asheville. This is a great group in our church and one upon which we depend great ly We are glad that Mr. Pate seems stronger and was able to make a trip back to the Baptist hospital this week for a check up. dessert bridge AT MONTE VISTA Last Saturday afternoon at the Monte Vista hotel a lovely dessert bridge was given l>y Mrs. Hugh R.

BROAD RIVER by Mrs. M. M. Elliott Mrs. Bessie (Elliott) Davis celebrated her 78th birthday last week. Mrs. Davis re ceived several nice presents. A delicious picnic dinner was served to the following guests, Mrs. Frances Elliott and Pau line Day, Mrs. Davis sisters, and Mrs. Florence Davis, Mr. and Mrs. McCaskil, and Mr. and Mrs. James Davis, all of upper Cedar Creek. Mr. and Mrs. McCaskil of Monroe, La., are spending the summer at their summer home on upper Cedar Creek. We were shocked to hear of Ray Hutton, Sr.’s sudden death at bis home in Daytona Beach. He had written that he and his wife would arrive here July 20 to spend the summer at their cabin in this community. We received word of their coming on Thursday and next day Friday a tele gram came that, he was dead. Mr. and Mrs. Hutton and family are well known here. They have spent their vaca tion here for many years. Our sympathy goes out to his wife and children. Miss Maree I’inholster, who has been visiting her sister, Miss Lu Amanda Pinholster at her summer home, Dream Haven, for the last two weeks, has returned to her home in St. Petersburg.

July 14. 1960 1 saw a lovely picture in a recent Asheville paper of Mrs. Arthur Bannerman of Warren Wilson as Woman of the Week. As 1 looked at the pic ture, I recalled the time she brought my daughter Maud home from school when she had missed the school bus. It was Maud’s first year in school. She and another little girl were interested in their play and the bus ' pulled out without them. When she fail ed to “show up’’’ with the oth ers, I became alarmed and got our neighbor, Mr. Brown to take me to find her. Going first to the school, no one was there but the janitor. We went to Mr. E. N. Howell, who sent me to Mrs. Bannerman. She was out, but returned as 1 was leaving. She had taken the two children to their homes. I wonder if she has forgotten that good deed for which I am still grateful. Mr. and Mrs. Zeb Nichols visited one evening last week with Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Morgan of Bee Tree.
