a by Gene Byrd ■
Good Will Ambassador
Many people have comment
ed on the article concerning
the career of J. G. Northcott.
Certainly this man has made
a powerful impact on the Val
ley during his stay.
His influence has reached
far beyond the economic as
pect of a company that has
helped a large number of peo
ple gain a livelihood.
Some of the most prominent
people in the state call him
their friend, but he always has
time to talk with the most in
conspicious person who comes
to him with a problem.
He bears a citation from the
governor of this great state
appointing him an Ambassa
dor of Good Will; he has been
that to the Swannanoa Valley
for 21 years.
He is the Valley’s greatest
booster, says it’s the greatest
place in the world; it is not
hard to believe him.
Not because he’s a political,
financial or civic power, but
because; His motto is To Help
Others, He loves his family
and his God. A frightened
lad turned first to him in time
of need. 1 saw him stand and
weep beside a deceased em
ployee. because I heard a man
in overalls say, ‘‘That’s a good
man.” I agree that indeed this
man is more than an Ambas
sador, he is a Prince among
Men.
1 join many in wishing him
and his charming wife and
son many, many years of hap
piness in this Valley they now
call their own.

hospitality on Sunday at the
home of Jack and Karlee Cor
dell.
These young folks have a
lovely home in a beautiful rus
tic setting.
The best part of the day was
the joy of seeing and having
fellowship with our kindred
and friends among the Cordell
and Patton families. Good
conversation was knee-deep,
and the time passed too quick
ly
Odin would have said that
the food was ambrosial, I nev
er saw such fine rations in
many a moon. I don’t want
to lose control of myself but
Jack and Carl’s barbecued
chicken, Karleen’s biscuits,
Gertie’s pineapple cake, Hel
en’s potato salad, Pansy’s cho
colate pie only to mention a
few of the delicacies were
pretty rich fare for the old
Muser.
The amazing thing was that
after this wonderful repast we
were able to talk right on. The
youngsters playing placidly in
the sand-pile added joy to the
occasion.
Jack was one of my early
pupils. He seemed amazed to
learn that John May was now
a teacher at Owen. We talked
about many of the folks who
were classmates in those haly
con days.
Jack asked me if 1 remem
bered asking the class once
what each person’s favorite
dish was (I’d be afraid to do
that nowadays, Young Gentle
Readers). He remembered Er
vin Jone’s favorite, “Possum
and Sweet Taters.”
If I live a long time, I shall
not forget this pleasant occa
sion.
September
Splendid, stately albeit sad
September is with us. Sept
ember is many things. It’s
crops coming to maturity, the
sound of schoolbells, the death
of summer and the birth of
autumn, birthdates of so many
dearly loved friends and rela
tions, the deathdates of Aunt
Roxie and Odin. It’s sweet
grapes on the vine and warm
dry breezes. It's shorter days
and clear blue skies and tall
mountains reaching up.
It’s marching bands and
pigskins flying. It’s a time
for youth and a time for age.
Enigmatic, dramatic . . .
September.

have failed to get across high
er mathematics to my recent
ly (Sept. 8) eight year old
daughter, Jackie.
Tomorrow, Sept. 12, the old
Muser will accept, not neces
sarily celebrate, his forty
forth birthday. Jackie will not
accept my reasoning that the
two fours added together will
make me eight years old and
thus four days younger than
she.
So, there’s nothing else to
do but face the fact that Sep
tember 12, 191(1. was quite a
ways back. (If Aunt Sally
Burnett were living, we could
celebrate birthdays together.)
I’m racking up some time at
that. This summer marked my
twentieth year as an ordained
Baptist minister of the Gospel.
This fall I am beginning my
twenty-fifth year as a teacher
in the public schools of North
Carolina.
I have much to be thankful
for. Life has not left me with
out rich compensations. Like
Paul there have been “thorns
in the flesh’’ that 1 would have
fain had removed.
Less dimly now. 1 see that
God who sends both sunshine
and rain upon the earth does
the same in the lives of indi
viduals and with Great Pur
pose.
Though this “old house” of
Gene Byrd’s physical being is
showing considerable wear,
Gene Byrd, himself, is very
happy and most appreciative
of his many blessings. (This
includes my greatly encourag
ing Readers).
Alma Mater Has My Daughter
The Byrd’s Nest is on the
desolate order these days. The
first fledgeling has flown the
nest.
Judy is now enrolled at Ap
palachian State Teacher’s
College in Boone.
Her letters reveal her as a
very busy and very happy per
son.
She wants Mrs. Perley, Mr.
Nesbitt and Mr. Straehla to
know that her entrance ex
ams placed her in the superior
class in English, Chemistry
and Biology and to express her
appreciation for the scholastic
foundation afforded her by
Owen High school.
1 am glad for Judy to be en
rolled in the school that meant
so much to me.
The Passing Years
The years pass by and in their
wake
Upon the sands of time, flot
sam and jetsam.
All my yesterdays are strewn
as by the tide.
The laurel wreaths of victor
ies,
The bitterness of yew . . .
Driftwood.
The years pass by; upon this
quiet beach.
I stand becalmed, castaway
. . . inert.
It must not be. I’ll gather
Driftwood
Build a fire, a beacon on the
shore
To light the way ... As years
pass by.

NAMELESS BEAUTY
Now Autumn lifts her golden
torch on high,
And once again the hills are
all aflame—
But I who Beauty loved in

Behold a beauty that I can

Watching the scarlet leaves
drift slowly down,
Breath-taking beauty shakes
the soul of me . . .
Oh, was it here that Sum

All Tension
Is No! Bad
Do you believe that we're
a nation of nail nibblers?
That we’re all as tense as a
small rubber band round a
large package That no mat
ter what ails us, tension did
it? People spend millions of
dollars a year on pills trying
to get as relaxed as a piece
of overcooked spaghetti.
We’ve come to believe that
any tension is bad. The fact
is that a certain amount of
tension is necessary if we are
to survi ve. It’s true, exces
sive tension is uncomfortable
and can be dangerous. But
excessive tension is not as
common as you might think.
Most of us are under no more
tension most of the time than
we need to cross the street
safely. Tension is necessary
to recognize danger and react
to it quickly enough to get
out of the way in time.
You couldn’t solve the sim
plest problem without ten
sion. What’s more, without
tension you wouldn’t even
want to. In a completely re
laxed state, you'd he no use
at work and you couldn’t be
trusted to prepare a meal in
the kitchen. If we ever suc
ceeded in removing all tension,
we’d be a nation of zombies.
Everybody gets extremely
tense in some situations, and
this is normal. When you’re
asking the boss for a raise,
taking an exam, applying for
a job, maneuvering an auto
through heavy traffic—you’ll
be quite tense. You need
some of this extra tension to
keep you on your toes dur
ing the ordeal. Tt won’t last.
It. won't do you any harm.
Of course if you get so tense
that it interferes with what
you’re trying to do, you should
check with your doctor.

and lova your country,
