While there, Mr. Stimson had a check-up in the hospit al, showing fine progress to ward total recovery from re cent illness. Mr. Saunders also had minor surgery while there. C. A. Squires, formerly en gaged in work here with Co wan Construction Co., has ac cepted employment by South ern Railway. This means he and his family expect to be permanent residents in this area — we hope, in Ridge crest proper. Leaving here last Wednes day, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Rrown drove to Mooresville for a two-day visit with Mrs. Lena Barger and Mrs. Elsie Alexander. On Friday, en route home, they stopped in Lincolnton for dinner with Mr. and Mrs. I. A.

She represented the South-eastern section of Camping Association of A merica. Meetings were held in the Sir Walter Hotel and the Raleigh Memorial Auditori um. A number of nationally noted speakers addressed the one thousand registered dele gates plus other guests. Gov ernor Sanford, deeply inter ested in this phase of the State’s welfare, not only spoke in two of the sessions, but also opened the doors of the governor’s mansion with a —n-*''on for those attending New Northwestern Rank lluUding Tallent In WNC this conference, and for two and one half hours stood in receiving line to personally greet and shake hands with the large group.

Dan and Donald Turner spent the week end in Hickory attending a district meeting of Jaycees. Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Hosmer and daughters, Rita and Pam, left Sunday to spend a couple of days in their Alabama home near Birmingham. Karen Turner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Turner, JUST LIKE OLD MAN RIVER If you want a truck that does its work without yell ing for attention all the time, buy a “new reliable” Chevrolet. You have to take care of it; it’s a machine. But this isn’t a full-time activity. The clear idea is that the truck works for you, not vice versa. The way to build such a truck is to put more quality into it. For example, Chevrolet doesn’t build one type of sus pension system for all sizes of trucks. Chevrolet designs suspension systems to fit your need. The light-duty type is strong on com fort. Another kind for heavier trucks stiffens up as you increase your load and vice versa. Make sense? Conventional pickups have double-wall construc tion in cabs, doors, lower side panels. Roofs are insulated. Body floors are select wood, not metal. Tailgate chains are wrapped in rubber. If you’d like to examine or drive a new ’63 Chevrolet truck, just call us. We’ll be right over.

In «» If one listens, one con pick up niam tl. ,-> can be put to good use. For instance on, .lav l..t .week For instance one nctv --- . - H _ able gentleman f-om Edgecombe, rose ' hatj and read nart of a sermon wh.ch his minister had delivered the previous Sunday. “I was brought wide awake when I JJJh* zed that the minister was saying someth_ S. h vould be good for me to remember Mr. Eagfo * Gained. “After the sermon was over I thoug io good that I asked for a copy and have had it re produced so that each of you may have one. I hat s what you have on your desk at present . As a hushed house listened he read the following: The circumstances in which you live determine your REPUTATION: The truth you believe deter mines your CHARACTER REPUTATION is what you are supposed to be; ZHARACTER is what you are. REPUTATION is the photograph; CHARACTER REPUTATION covers you from without; CHAR ACTER grows from within. REPUTATION is what you have when you come nto a new community; CHARACTER is what you iave when you go away. REPUTATION is made in a moment; CHAR ACTER is built in a lifetime. REPUTATION arows like the iHARACTER grows like the oak. mushroom; REPUTATION leaves you like the mushroom; HARACTER lasts like eternity. A single newspaper report gives y°u Y°“r REPUTATION; a life of toil gives you your CHAR ACTER. If you v/ant to get a position, you need REF* UTATION; if you want to keep it, you need CHARACTER. REPUTATON makes you rich or poor; CHAR ACTER makes you happy or miserable. REPUTATION is what men say about you on your tombstone; CHARACTER is what angels say about you before the throne of God. REPUTATION is what men base their judg ment of you; CHARACTER is what God bases His judgment of you. —R JTATE DEBT? How much does the State of North Carolina owe? That’s a question often asked, and to find the inswer we went to the top man in the finances of ^orth Carolina, Edwin Gill, state treasurer. Our total debt at present is $231,041,000 but we have enough money in sinking funds to reduce this to a net debt of $122,941,000. For instance this includes the remainder of the Scott Road Bonds but at the present rate these will ae paid off in 1967, several years ahead of schedule. —R— BOND ISSUE v Many bond issues have been introduced or will be introduced within the next few weeks. These include bonds for roads and school con sirucuon, two oi me most pressing neeas ot me state at this time. Best guess is that there will be three bond proposals for schools and at least two for roads under consideration before the session is very much older. On the surface these may sound the same but here are wide differences in all of them. Some of :he school building bond proposals will be aimed at me group and some at another. They vary in amounts :rom $25,000,000 to $100 million. There is little doubt in anyone’s mind about the aeed. Many of the smaller counties simply do not aave the resources to build what they must have :o carry on their programs of consolidation. Several of the counties are considering having mly one high school and some have alreadv followed mt this plan. But this costs a great deal of money. Local leaders say this can come only from a bond issue on a state-wide basis. -R JOHN UMSTEAD North Carolina lost an able legislator and the mental institutions a devoted friend and supporter with the resignation last week from the House of Representatives of John Umstead, the gentleman from Orange. John Umstead has devoted his life to the im provement of the mental institutions of the state. Our system has improved until it is recognized as one of the best among the 50. Much of this is due to the efforts of Mr. Umstead, who worked at the job full-time on a year-around basis whether the legislature was in session or not. John Umstead served 13 sessions in the House and was elected for the 14th time last fall. HeTp signed last week because of ill health. -R JOHN UMSTEAD HOSPITAL Last week as a member of the committee on ment' institutions I had an opportunity to visit the Joh Umstead hospital and Murdoch School for the mentall retarded at Camp Butner. ema i 1 wilL n.0t say I enj°yed but it did make ir feel proud to see the high type work being carrie on in those institutions. lie . ff ™«mStead HosP'tal ^ey receive appn mately 200 patients per month, but because of improved methods of treatment they are disch; ing the same number.

Health From American Medic* Association Remember "yellow dice"? The skin and whites of the eyes take yellowish hue. Physicians know that jaun dice is not a discos, but a symptom of many different conditions in which bile pu - ment is not being handled properly in the body and s accumulating in excess quant ities in the blood.
