R Y. Belk
AND HIS NEWS
OF NEBO VALLEY
Mr. BiJ] Ross and wife spent tht
night with Grandpa Belk last week
I met Miss Mary Lue Tate up a
Myers' Store the day I bought ,m;
new straw hat. She lives in Robins
ville. I used to sport her mothei
Miss Grace Btown.
Harrison Belk from High Shoal
was down looking for a place to pu
up a radio shop last week.
I've been looking for a place to gi
where its not so hot. This weathe
gets my Billie Goat.
How many creatures were endow
eni with the gift of speech long ag<
when things first started to be oth

The serpent, in the Garden of Eden
a man, and Baalam's Ass.
We are told Adam had the mos
beautiful wife in the world, but sht
canned Adam. It won't do to let t
ueaumuj woman 1001 you up anc
v then lose your job. Adam lost mos
> everything he had and had to havi
?some fig leaf britches made befon
he left the Garden.
Today either way we look i
seems that disaster stares us in th<
face: Now, at the end, we might sa^
of an attempt to keep Germany out
of Russian slaughter hands, ' Al
least that is the way Russia wants
the USA to see it. We are facing the
supreme test. We can have no illus
ions. We have just yesterday beer
through a hell of war. We have
known the barbarism of the last cor
flict in its most horrible form. Now
if the Russians are not drove out ol
Berlin it means death to thousands
of the German people and sliave labor
for many that are not killed
They went through plenty, of hell
under Hitler. I see no way to pre
vent a state of war right now be
tween USA and Russia.
One writer suggests we rig up
planes and get together tons of pam
phlets, spread those all over Russia
telling them we want no war with a
friendly nation. Then get a ton ol
bar candy, get them all sweetened
up, then send lots of soap to clean
their old hides, next millions of clgaretes
to make them bubble ovei
with happiness, but last ship 'em 4C

I remember once in my early boy
hood days being forced to enter a
cave. Have you ever been in a moun
I tairt cave? Not far from where 1 once
. i linved there is a cave in mountain"
side of the cliff. Before the Battle of
e Kings Mountain it said deserters hid
out in this cave for months before
' the battle. Its as round as a barrel
' an<* some 400 yards
f . long. You can walk
. through the cave if
Mk. y?u 41ke darkness
s. in daylight but you
-'-Wf must come out the
M way you went in,
' m V there being no door

} HMBHithis
' der, as it is now on a much-traveled
highway. If you are lucky, or proba'
bly a better word to use 'unlucky'
when a storm comes over to be in
1 this cave. You are perfectly safe on1
ly from fear. When its storming you
J can hear a mournful sound like the
wind hln'wina in tho mniith r*f q
> large Jug. The thunder has a deadend
sound and its dark as Egyptian
midnight. So dark in fact that
one can feel the blackness.
[ One evening after school, I with
' three school girls and two small
boys got our hooks after digging
some bait, we took off to Johnson's
. mill pond, only a mile from the col*
lege. No one knew about our advenutre.
We had not been at the
' pond long with our hooks set catching-fliers
just like we owned the
big pond. When it began to thun.
der iri just a little while a great
, black cloud came right up over the
? pond. Soon it began to rain in great
flood style. We made haste for- the
cave thinking we would, stay there
: 'til the storm passed by, but ft rained
'til after midnight and we had to
. cross a deep branch to get home and
no light, only the few stars peeping
out through the black clouds. How
' were we io get home and what
1 would we get when we got home?
We seemed doomed to spend the
; night in the dark, damp tunnel. I
did not know that a night could be
' so long with three good looking girls
at my side as that one was. We sat
there in utter darkness all those
' weary-hours listening to the water
as it ran madly over the rocks. Now
and then an owl perched in a nearby
tree would hoot and the only ans
wer it got was the barking of a grey
fox prowling on the mountainside
in search of food,
When the morning came the water
had run down so we could cross
the branch. We started home as the
sun peeped up over the eastern sky,
tired, hungry and the loss of one
night's sleep. Our people were glad
to see us. They thought we had
drowned or blown away. When we
went back to school the next day,
they called us hitch-hikers and cave
dwellers. I admit I had too many
girls on my hands that night. Sq
different would it of been if two
other boys had been along to cheer
those brave girls in the dark stoTm
of that night.
I like Truman but I don't like the
bosses's social equality stuff. I won
der in my heart if that is some of
Mrs. Roosevelt's handeddown stuff?
You know while the war was on she
got the whites and blacks together
arvH haH all of Qhlmmip shak
ing breaking get-together parties?
Just to keep the soldiers from getting
blue while in training. Oh good
;Lord!
' Ladies if it was possible to be
perfectly beautiful you wouldn't
need all this makeup stuff you dab
on, come in, and wash off.
Truman can't win the battle front
in November. He's done proved to be
Thruman in the South.
I got a letter from one N. A. Belk
in Berlin. He said when he comes
home there would be one more German
girl, in the. U. S. A. I got a letter
from* this young girl. She's not
only good looking but intelligent,
too.
It's a fact, the U. S. Supreme
Court said 8 to 1 that tax money
of all the people shall not be used
in religious training. What next
please. ,
One reason women use so much
paint when they go out and so little
when they stay in, they do it to
avoid wrinkles. I like women. Some
off my best friends are women. This
world would be a heck of a world If

THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HI
Gunnell's Outfit
Wins Army Awqid
Linz, Austria, 9 July 1948?The
790-3 Detachment of the 160th Airways
and Air Communication Service
of which Sgt, Jack H. Gunnelis
is a member and which is located at
vhe Horsehing Army Base near Linz
was awarded the 5th AACS Communication
Award for the first quar,
ter qf 1948. The mission of the detachment
is to operate and maintain
navigational aid for aircraft flying
the corridor from Munich to Tullin
j Air Base which serves Vienna.
The Bronze Award is presented
i we didn't have a few of these dolled
' up gals to make men long for to be
| in their compahy.
) Brother Jones says a girl and a
car are very much alike. A good
paint job'can conceal the years, but
the wrinkles will tell the rest of the
story.
Since the dawn of creation on
this earth never has their been a civilization
in which each individual
has made an equal contribution to
the needs and welfare of society and
never will be. Roosevelt came near
er making this dream come true
than any other ruler since time
started.
|. Abraham Lincoln remarked, No
man has a good enough memory to
be a successful liar. ,
Both friends and credit is very
: good when not used.
I In recessing today's scattering
column let's not get flabbergaster
i at this hot weather. There's a hotter
] place waiting for all crooks.
These two last lines without
doubt, were meant to fill this col;
umn out.
You never thought I'd be a poet:
Your wandering reporter
Was arovin' around
i On the broad Main street
I In Charlotte town.
When what should he Spy but a GI.
I A happy-go-lucky guy,
I grabbed him by the arm,
Joe what's wrong with you.
Belk, I'm just in from Ft. Bragg
Gotta million in my pocket, got two
pairs of shoes,
Gotta girl back home with the blues
i Gotta stomach fulla foam.
I listened on as he rhymed it out,
And a safe-deposit box,
With some bonds inside
I When I want to read the news,
I read your lirjes.
