Savings Bonds of 1962 Blonde, blue-eyed Mrs. Emily Terroll, of St. Helens, Oregon, Is the new “Mrs. United States Savings Bonds of 1962." As a Treasury volunteer Goodwill Ambassador, she will tour the nation during the coming year in the promotion of Savings Bonds. The 37-year-old housewife won the title from among 51 state con testants for the “Mrs. America" title in competition just closed at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where she appeared as "Mrs. Oregon." The Terrall family is no stranger to Savings Bonds. Husband of the new "Mrs. Savings Bonds" is an industrial engineer, and buys bonds regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan. Mrs. Terrall, an alumna of the University of Washington, has been active in the PTA-sponsored school stamp program. And needless to say, their three sons—aged 7, 9 and 12—are all avid stamp buyers.

House wife in great state of per plexity. Deplorable condition exists. Something must be done at once. Local crisis de velops . . . Wildlife lacking sufficient natural equipment. Well, it really isn’t that serious, but an amusing in cident did develop last week. One of my students, Harold Thomason, is quite a hunter. He has been diminishing the squirrel population greatly this fall, but last week he achieved the pinnacle of a hunter's dream. While hunt ing with his father, he had the luck and skill to dispose of a 150 lb. nine point buck. This caused quite a stir among his family and friends, and young “Deerslayer” has been the man of the hour. Harold is a modest young fellow, but of course he is thrilled and proud about the matter. He related that while his family was excitedly discuss ing the situation his mother inquired as to how many legs or quarters a deer possessed. Naturally, she was scornfully told that they possessed a grand total of four. Mrs. Thomason winsomely replied, “Well, that’s just too bad, I have already promised at least six quarters.” One could use the lowest form of humor, the so-called pun, to say that deer have "fore-legs” in front and two behind for a total of six, but I don’t think this would satis fy the avid venison lovers hereabouts. So, members of the Com mission, we place this problem in your lap. “Ha»-Bean” Mountaineers, with all re spect to proper Bostonians, are bean lovers from way back. Kentucky Wonders, Half runners, Giant Stringless Greenpods, pole beans, shuck beans, leather-britches, dried beans, kidney beans, navy beans, lima beans, French green beans, pickled beans, baker beans, pinto beans; you name it and cook it. We’ll eat it. Last week, Mrs. Harmon and her bevy of charming helpers came up with a new one, Mexican pinto beans. I’m a little too stupid to absorb the recipe, but I did O.K. on absorbing the food. I know she would pass on the recipe to any Bean Lovers of Amer ica who might lead the col umn. 1 just hope they don’t de cide to wax the cafeteria floor when this delicacy is served again. Several people, the old Mus er included, nearly developed a new dance the last time the waxing occurred, and the com bination of Mexican food and a slick floor could produce a fandango that would put the Twist to shame. Mr. Deputy: I, like many others, was shocked by the untimely pass ing of Claude Gilbert last week. The years had dealt kindly with this veteran law enforcement officer; thus, the shock was more acute. Claude was the son of Tom and Callie Lytle Gilbert and hailed from the Crooked Creek section of McDowell county. He married into the Stepp family of this section, his wife Lizzie is descended from pioneer William Stepp. This was a union of notable families. We have always felt mighty close to the Gilberts. When Mama and Papa were first married, 61 years ago, they went to "tend mill” for Grand .ia Daugherty on Crooked Creek. There, the Gilberts were neighbors and friends. These ties were later renewed here in Buncombe. I have great respect and af fection for Lizzie, Ruth, Bill, Guy, Maude and Joe. I know I am joined by many in ex tending sympathy to these dear folks in their loss of husband, father and brother. Oyez, Oyes, a good citizen has passed to his reward. His works and memory shall live on. To Be or Not to Be (Vulnerable): If people never extended their neck, perhaps it would not be trampled. If we wish ed to be negative, we might paraphrase nothing ventured nothing hurt. Last spring I vowed to my self that never would I allow my self to become involved with students as I had those at Owen. I didn’t want to ever again have the pangs of sep aration that I was suffering. My resolution hasn’t lasted long. My class at Old Fort entwines itself about my heart more strongly each day. It is a typical group of irrepressi ble, harum-scarum, some times aggravating, lovable, wonderful American youth and I love them collectively and individually.

Nicknames such as “Deerslayer,” “Cour- ^ age," “Bryl Cream,” ‘'Id Bill,” and ’“Uncle Sam” have h crept into our vocabulary. W e hear about hunting, molasses making, church life, hoy friends, dancing lessons, ball games, “last vear” and “next year.” Most of the time we get along well, real well: some times a storm arises to break the even tenor and in due course subsides. We blast out on Pigs In the Garden, Tavern In the I own and Swazi Warrior, n t to mention Marianne. W e play volley ball like demons and attack percentage problems with somewhat less vigor. We’re becoming a family. Each one has a place to fill, a part to play. Each one is im portant, immensely important, and I’m becoming more vul nerable every day. So, nothing ventured, noth ing gained. Let him who would not have troubles be not born into this world. If we would have love, we must extend love. If that be the price of vulnerability, it is worthy, I believe.

Jack, Rita, Marvin, Marion, Craven, Wanda, Judy, Dickie, Suzie, Kay, Clyde, Pryce, Sandy, Sara, all of you and others for making: a bitter sweet occasion much more sweet than bitter. Indian maiden for such a masterful job of head cheer leading. For the encouragement to keep writing poetry, such as it is. Ridgecrest correspondent for the cute expression, “red faced Rambler.” For compliments from teen age friends with no apples to polish. You are encouraging. Old Fort basketball teams for sending Robert home with such enthusiasm for your speed and skill on the hard wood. Neighbor Thompson for that good fudge. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis for your good deed of long ago even if you didn’t remember the preacher at Mtn. View. Dear Readers for your pa tience and long suffering. Missed: An apple tree is located in clear view of our kitchen win dow. All the apples on the tree have been gone for a long time with the exception of one brave fellow that has been hanging on in lonely vi gil for several weeks. We have become interested in the clinging capacities of this lonely remnant of a goodly number. The little apple pre sented quite a picture with all the foliage and other apples departed. From the sidelines, we have rooted for the apple as it has braved high winds, pelting rains and heavy frosts. To me, there has been a ser mon, implicit, in the sheer tenacity of the last apple. I was saddened when I came home from school and Jewel informed me that attacked by a hungry redbird, it had final ly fallen. La*t One Just one lonely little apple Clinging to the tree. Why you keep on clinging Is rather hard to see. Do you cling to memories Of a summer that is past Of spring and summer breezes And autumn fleeing fast? Do you swing there dreaming Of how things used to be When other fellow apples 15 YEARS AGO TODAY Thursday, November 28, 1946 S Club Organized At High School The “B” dub has been organized at the high school with Gertrude S.
