Mountain Musings by Gene Byrd i I P i I J Bursting Out All Over: Seems like everybody is Graduating from somewhere. Seriously, so many of the young people I have taught are graduating from high schools and colleges that I nould not begin to ennumer nte them in the limited space nf this column. I'll have to compromise by saying I'm real proud of all these fine young people. In fact, I’m sure the entire com munity is pleased and proud. We feel particularly happy :hat our young folks go away nnd do so well in institutions of higher learning. Our daily newspapers carry accounts of ronors won by the young people of the Valley in al most every edition. Same Old Story: For years the old North State has been noted for rearing and educating talent ?d people and immediately seeing them migrate to ‘greener pastures.” Migrants from Tar Heelia lot this great United States of ours from one coast to the other. Family groups are scat tered from the Great Lakes to the Rio Grande. This is no new trend. Be fore the Civil War, the call of new opportunities greatly de pleted our state’s population. I find myself wondering ivhere this recent crop will settle. Twixt Two Strait*: Young folks can’t be blam ed for seeking the best eco nomic opportunities that are jiieieu, iiiiu iiiau.v - jnxious to secure the sendees >f talented young opportun sts. Yet, we desperately need Lie vitality, strength and i nagination of our trained ed ucated youth. When they go elsewhere jur immediate investment in Liern is gone. Someone else profits from the sacrifices -nade to provide education and training. Of course, in terms of overall contribution to socie ty, education is never a lost nvestment. Suppose our youth loyally remain in the hills of home, Will they be rewarded with status and recognition or nrushed off as “the kid next tool'”? Will they find a soc iety that is progressive or one that is lost in the status quo? There’s cynical answers to be made, and there’s senti mental ones to be made. I doubt if too many realistic ones have been given. Philosophically, there’s gain and loss in any situation. Who’s to say what’s best? Presenting Mr. Walker: The graduation exercises at Old Fort High School on Monday past were quite im pressive. Mrs. Findley’s Elementary Chorus sang beautifully, the speeches were short and to the point, the Seniors showed the proper dignity, and the audience reaction was won derful. The events built to a climax with Mr. Greer’s im pressive utterance, “I now pronounce you graduates of Old Fort High School.” Of course, the Muser’s fam ily swelled with pride while Bobby delivered the salutat ory address. Likewise, I was proud of Douglas Walker, the valedictorian, and the other student speakers J. W. Tur ner and Sadie Haney. This was a good senioi class; it’ll be missed next vear. A little mix-up occuret when Mr. Greer was present ing the special diplomas tc Bobby (Robert) Byrd an: Douglas Walker. He handec over my son’s diploma am referred to him as Robert Walker. There’s enough Wal kers in McDowell County tr make this a logical mistake and Bobby’s great-grandmot her’ was a Walker (Betty Mai ker Daugherty). I really had the Walke connection in my classroon this year (there might hav been others I didn’t know a bout). There was Billy Lytl descended from Deb; Min Walker descended from “Dock”; Shasta Warren des cended from Luther, am Joyce McGinnis descendec from Mary, and all of us des Johathan Walker, who livei at the Terraced Field oi North Folk above the presen City Reservoir. The Face of Tragedy: The old Muser extend heart-felt sympathy to hi | friends in the Valley wh have sustained losses to thei family circle in recent days Mrs. Clifford Porter, Mrs Ken Davidson, Mrs. Joe Bui lock, the Graggs and th Chandlers have had sorroi laid on their hearts in recen days, and we care. T had never officiated at double funeral, and the sei vices for Gerry and Paul Chandler were a new, a sa and inspiring occasion to mi The occasion was sad, th sudden accidental death c the young mother and he daughter presented a hear rending situation. The tremendous faith c the bereft young father an husband were most inspirinj T knew B. H. Chandler muc better than I did Calvin, In he and his two brothers, Te and John, impressed n greatly. Also my sympathy goes oi to Edith Gregory Pace wl suffered great bereavemei in the same accident. Veritably, the cup runnel ]over! Busy Week: Closing out a school year ar^^ccunationaldiseasethi D. B. GIBBS Electric Co. Corner Sutton and Cherry Street Black Mountain, N. C. Phone NO. 9-7758 annually tests the remnants of school teacher’s faltering stability of mind. There really seems to be no painless way to perform this operation and it keeps one as busy as a bee in a tar-bucket. (Now where did I learn that saying?) We completed our work, a very pleasant year's work, at the Old Fort School on Wed nesday. Brother Lambert left Greenlee Baptist Church a little sooner than anticipated; so, we began our duties there with prayer meeting on Wed nesday evening. Friday was occupied with the Chandler funeral services and visitation. Thursday and Saturday were occupied in re-screening operations on the house and clean-up around the premises. Great Was the Fall: Late Saturday, I decided to improve my wife’s clothes lines by installing two extra posts. We had two huge lo cust posts, heritage of last year’s wind storm, and they looked as if they might fill the bill. I excavated two deep I holes and impressed the ser vices of Bobby to help me rawhide the posts to their positions. We got one into place without incident. I hen, we started with the heavier of the two. Bobby was lead ing the way, and I staggered along behind. Suddenly, I stepped into a small hole, twisted my ankle severely and fell forward on top ol the log. A snag on the log hit me below the right eye and a trifle above the eye. For a moment I was “add led". I thought with a. touch of amusement, “Who is that idiot crawling around groan ing and carrying-on?” Then I wasn't amused, I was the a foresaid idiot. I had dug up some box woods and presented them to a dear friend some time back. I had replaced the dirt, but recent rains had caused the earth to sink. Thus, I had created my own elephant pit and could blame no one but myself. (That made it hurt worse). Just step right up and call me Hop-a-long. A Glass . . . .Darkly We fail to see the purpose In events that bring us pain. We’re conditioned for life’s sunshine. We shrink away from rain. Death makes us want to question, Nor do we hesitate. To withdraw from society, . And loudly rail at fate.

STATES-ITEM to a North Carolina industrial advertisement appearing cur rently in publications of na tional circulation. In a lead editorial headed “North Carolina Can Be En vied”. the New Orleans editor quotes in full the message carried in the North Carolina id.

One of the lowest iebts of the 50 states—state md local debts combined on i per capita basis; 3. A state aw prohibiting deficit spend ng”. The North Carolina ad. aim ’d at industrialists seeking yew plant locations, ends as follows: “This good govern nent provides vital services io its people and its industries rhese services mean profit to i’ou. For the future look wisely to North Carolina”. LISTEN 5 TIMES A DAY TO THE COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD WBMT Business - - Professional - - Services ORY AV h T IM L - • RADIO AND T.V.
