BLACK MOUNTAIN, N. C. Mir. No. 110 PHONE NO 9-3141 Dealer No. 2281 j Mountain Musings by Gene Byrd i I I Looking Back To See: I want to congratulate someone on keeping the base ball field at the Black Mount ain Primary School in such excellent condition. For a while it looked as if the outfield would be a very satisfactory area for train ing in guerilla warfare tac tics, but it looks good now. That field brings back dif ferent flashes of memory e very time I look at it. My first acquaintance with the area was a rather inti mate one. Very early in my school career, I was intro duced to a game called “cracking the whip”. In this game, some husky fellow, comparatively speaking, would head a line of youngsters that would run down an incline to some leveled area; the leader would stop suddenly and brace himself and the continuing momentum of those on the other end of the line would generally orbit some trusting, albeit stupid, soul into space. I have always been gulli ble, and it took several three point landings near second base for me to realize that being chosen for the “honor” of being the end of the whip was a dubious distinction. Baseball memories: Sam my Allison falling in left field but completing the catch from a reclining posit ion, Redgy Burleson and Tom Brown catching, the Carland boys, Buck Greene, Lefty Melton and Roy Brown pitching, Wilco Melton runn ing with the grace of a gazel le, the seventh grade boys of Mr. Hickle and their famous series with Seth Perkinson’s YMCA Cubs, Jeeter Riddle, Leak Wall, Bert Simpson, Charley Pressley, Gene Rid dle, Pug Morgan. Gorman Burgin, Slats Lindsey, Her bert Johnson, Frank Harris. Oh, they’re there; the Moore boys, the Browns, the Nan neys, “Doss” Kerlee, Mike Miller, the immortal Belk, Chief Saunooke, the Alexan ders, Roy Babb, Ed Cordell, Harry Gray, LeRoy Nix, the Brooks boys, the Fox boys, Carl Henry and Ruggles. Yep! they’re here, child hood heroes, childhood play mates. I can’t quite see how the field holds them all. Really, there are many more. (If I get started on foot ball and Softball League me mories, Look Out!) Remember The Band-Mill: At one time, a leading in dustry of Black Mountain was the Band Mill. This plant gave quite a bit of employ ment, and I’m sure is well remembered by some of my Readers. I have been vividly remind ed of the Band Mill era in re cent days. I have enjoyed vis iting in the homes of Harry Hensley and his brother A. A. Hensley (I believe those are the initials) down Greenlee way. Both Hensley families dis tinctly recall living near Ridgecrest while the bread winners of the family work ed at the Band Mill. They re called Mike Bradley, Mrs. Queen, Aunt Iva Shumate, Bert Glenn, Mr. and Mrs. Jim White, Preacher Huntley, people, times and events of a by-gone day. Both families made me feel that I had known them all my life. The beauty of the flowers a bout their homes was only ex ceeded by the warmth of the welcome inside. (I broke bread with them too). I Impressive: Ebenezer Church., beauti ful flowers, consoling thoughts, many people, sweet I singing, lovely rural setting, and they brought Johnny Walker home to rest. The two ministers gave us inspiration and hope. One man made his sermon not on ly touch upon the funeral as pect of the hour, he gave an invitation to the living to ac cept Christ. I felt myself hop ing intensely that some one would accept the invitation. I met lots of folks, dis covered new kin-folks and received an invitation to the . Burgin-Lytle re-union from one of my Readers. Thank you, sir. I enjoyed our talk, and I hope I get to teach your niece. Blessing: Our church has been bless ed with visits from the Hud son Favells. Brother Favell had been the Greenlee pastor until he felt the call into mis sion work that led him and his family to service in Gha na. These folks are almost legends in Greenlee. Their pastorate seems to have been a high water mark in the work, and I felt honored to meet them and hear them speak. Both the Favells offer a glowing testimony, and we have been blessed by their homecoming. In Sorrow: The muser extends sym pathy to the T. J. Silvers family. Just a month ago, I had I a long talk with Mr. Silvers after the graduation exercis es at Old Fort. It seemed that the years had set very lightly on his shoulders and spirit.

Corner Sutton and Cherry Street Black Mountain, N. C. Phone NO. 9-7758 Now handsome, heartly Jeff Silvers will be carried Over Home and laid to rest. It’s hard to realize that he is dead, and his many friends will miss his cheerful pre sence. I have previously mention ed the high esteem held for this fine family. Memos: To Fled in Detroit: The e conmic implications you un derlined are distressing., al most frightening. To Gordon: Looks like your choice for Speaker was true Blue. Glad you backed the right horse. To Speedsters: They say the Big Three are all coming up with creations that will top 400 horsepower and that the unofficial agreement to curb the power and speed of automobiles is off. To Highway Builders: May be you need to start building Slow-Ways and Speed-Ways so that motorists can have a choice. To News Sports Desk: Does our “light, green inexperienc ed team” for this year have to play those “lettermen, lightning fast backs, agile ends, and quick heavy line men”? (I have a feeling “Chunky” will squeeze a good ball club out of the “tiowel” before the season gets too old.) To Grover: I remember Independence Day. To Edna Brookshire: The Muser and his family extend sympathy on the loss of your father. We know your faith will sustain. To Aunt Maggie: We en joyed it, too. Bon Voyage Before you, beckoning, O Youth, is Frontier Land. You leave the haven of the well known To seek success in unknown diverse ways. The sundry places of a new world Shall be your home. Here, there is Security and Monotony. The soft cocoon of immat urity, The pliant clinging chains of parental love Inhibit, chafe....Cast them away. Age speaks..The call of far away places Deafens your ears. The sons of men must ven ture, must go. We were young once, we know. You have a rendez-vous with Fate. Your eager feet can scarce await, The Great Summons..to be away. Young captives of the age old spell, We bid you God-speed and Farewell!
