Finch, well-known attorney of Black Mountain, was honored by Clristmount Chris ian Assembly on Thursday night, Aug. t 6, at a special service of recognition. The recognition service was estab 'hed two years ago by the assembly to give recognition to those per sons who had rendered distinctive sei ice to it. In addition to Mr. Finch, two organizations and several other individuals were similarly hontked. Dr. Riley B. Montgomery, outgoiij. president of the assembly and president of The t liege of the Bible, presided and Howard Kester, exeifcntive director read the citation. The citation of Mr. *\ch follows: Ronald tarl I-men The Law as it was Con ceived by the First Men— Dunga Hammurabi, Moses— has been by its Very Nature the Guardian of the Most Precious Insights—the Inner Citadel and Outward Forti fications—of the Spirit the Eternal Implanted in the Hu man Mind and Heart. Not Al ways and yet not Infrequent ly it is the Uw to which the Spiritual Man has had to Turn for the Keeping of the Heav enly Truths Vouchsafed to him by Man Himself and His Cre ator. Had it not been for The Law with which Religion has Combined to Subdue the Sav age in us all, the Human Family would be the Servile Slave of its own Savagery and Barbarism. This Day we Honor one who has Brought the Talents of his Legal Mind, the Warmth of his Baptist Heart, and the Strength of his Hands —often Carrying the Woes and Trouble of Kindred Men and Institutions in them—to help All and Sundry.

DRUGS PHONE 669-8724 W.N.C SHOPPING CENTER BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C By EULA GREENWOOD HUNDREDS — Only Dan Moore and his wife know what will be done finally with the “literally hundreds” of invi tations which have poured in upon them within recent weeks. Naturally, most of them have come since the second primary. But just a lot were issued—and filed neatly away for later answering—a few days after the May 30 voting. Some of them go right on up into the winter. The skeleton staff here in Moore headquarters — mainly Mrs. William Dodge—will go over them with the Moores the next time they are in Raleigh. Each has been ac knowledged. However, only a very, very small percentage can be accepted. So, if you or your group are among the inviters. all you can do is wait. Only Mr. and Mrs. Moore know what rule, or rules, will be followed in accepting these speaking and visiting engagements. It could be they will do like a friend of ours said he did about his bills back dur ing the Depression. Each month as they came in, he would toss them in a handful up the steps in the home he was barely able to keep. They landed haphazardly, of course. Those at the top got first precedence — and so forth, down the steps. SOME BITTERNESS — In the series of articles a Wins ton-Salem newspaper ran on Bert Bennett's reaction to his stinging defeat in the June 27 voting, we note a thred of bitterness. He thinks Dan Moore could have some trouble with the Republicans i n November, wonders where the Negro vote will go, etc., etc., but pledges to do what he can for the Democratic Party and its nom inees — as needed — between now and the General Election. UNSETTLED —These troub led times may not be suffi ciently troubled to upset any political fruit baskets in North Carolina. However, it is not beyond the realm of possibility, for Goldwater strength is growing. A reading of the feelings and events in the South of 1845-60 reminds one so much of the mid-sixties of this modern (?) 20th century. One can also see today overtones —and dark and deadly under, tones—of the Days of Recon struction. There is just a lot of in sanity, among both white and colored, all about us. The lunatic fringe seems no longei to be just a fringe. And—as a matter of cold hard fact—we could have a civil war of sorts, with much bloodshed—between now and November—right here! Were Wallace not in the icture, most of the South ould go for Goldvvater over ■hnson—and might, anyway, i spite the Wallace cut into L ldw'ater strength. N. C. B noeratic office - seekers co Id be hurt—. i BEARED UP — Well, we haw at least one thing to lie thaikful for—the terrible to bacti situation we were con trod ed with three, four week ago teems to have cleared uj comp etely. At least we don't see anything much about it any n.ore in the papers. For a time there — alone the las two w'eeks of June — it loosed like the '‘golder weed”, as we call it, had about h. d it.

FIRST — Somethin* new under the sun is coming to th s state around Aug. 1— and we think here is the first you have read about it.

A BIG CUT—LeRoy Collins, who visited the state last week, took a cut of $50,000 a year salary (from $75,000 to $25,000) when he left the presidency of the National Association of Broadcasters to become President Johnson s trouble-shooter on civil rights. The July 6 issue of “Broad casting” magazine (of which Kufus Crater, Elkin native, is Editorial Director) says edi torially: • • We never felt that he really believed in commercial broadcasting or in most broadcasters.” He takes his new job Aug. 1. \Vc just hope he is not as hard on the South in its civil rights troubles as he was the broadcasters who paid his salary during the 40 rough months he was with them. Wonder if Collins left NAB voluntarily? _ OBITUARY Fred L. Miller Funeral services for Fred L.
