Heard And
Seen
In THE
Jeffersons

One of the most unusual pursuit
education stories" we've heard in a
long time was told to us at the Lam
sing Crossnore football game last
Friday. You, too, will be interested
in and inspired by it.
Coach Morphis' Skylanders had
just turned in a beautiful perform
ance that gave them rs to 0 vic
tory over Crossnore and we were
complimenting him on his team.
eyes, we've got a fairly good team
this season." he modestly admitted.
''Who are your best players?" he
was asked.
''Well, don't know exactly; that
would be hard to say because most
all of them on the squad are either
good now or they will be good a
little later" he automatically de-
clared.
"But, I'll tell you," he said, 1--WE
have one boy in particular that de-
serves a little mention. This boy
walks several miles through the
the mountains each day and then
rides long ways to get to school.
Besides playing on the team, he's
also good student, too," he warmed
to his subject.
''There he is right there" he
pointed to the group which our pho
tographer, B. D. Barr, was swapping
and said, chow about letting me
talk to the kid over at the dressing
room?" He said it would be quite
all right.
For about five minutes / enjoyed
chatting with Walter Eldreth, IT.
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie
H. Eldreth, of Flatwoods, in the
Pond Mountain township near the
Tennessee line.
He wasn't a bit timid and didn't
hesitate to answer any and all ques-
lions fired at him. He has cheer
full disposition, is fine looking, in
telligent lad. He leaves home in the
morning at about six o'clock, walks
over rugged mountain sides for
about five miles, then catches the
school bus and rides for distance
of nearly 10 miles to the Lansing
school. He gets back home in the
afternoon about six o'clock.
isn't that pretty hard on you?"
he was asked.
ooh no, don't mind it. Of course
it's right bad in the winter, but l
like to go to school and to play foot
ball." he explained.
Walter is a sophomore and plays
in the Lansing line, on the first
team.
Eyes, l like football, but that's not
the only reason I'm coming to
school. I want to get somewhere in
this world"
And here's hoping you get there,
too, Walter. Our hats are off to
you! y

The rivalry spirit between the
Jeffersons isn't so keen any more,
but H. c. Tucker, one Of the new
towns fathers, never misses an OPP
portunity to boost West Jefferson
over old Jefferson.
At the Rotary club recently, Hon.
Kerr Scott, state commissioner OF
agriculture, delivered fine address.
Emmett McNeill, of Jefferson, owner
of the much discussed water sys-
them and a district inspector of the
state agriculture department. was
also present. In discussing the pro-
gress which his department under
his administration had made along
the line of personnel changes, Mr.
Scott said that when he took office,
so percent of the employees in the
agriculture department in Raleigh
at that time had never lived on a
farm and that 40 percent of them
were related to each other.
"The first thing did was to
clean house'-to get rid of those
city slickers and get some dirt farm
ers around the pace. News of this
change spread rapidly all over the
state and many began sending in
reports from rural addresses. In
fact was surprised to come ur
here and find that Mr.. Mcneil lives
in Jefferson and not out in the
country where the reports have
been dated" he asserted and
that brought forth big laugh.
In the lobby of the hotel after
the meeting, former mayor, railroad
builder, political lion, hotel operat-
or, and so on, H. c. Tucker, went
over to Mr.. Scott and said:
''Tll tell you why Emmett sent
those reports in from a rural adj
dress. It was because he was
ashamed to admit that he lives ir
Jefferson and not in West Jeffer.

The ocean came over them and laid
down many layers of sand, mud

layers Of cake. These layers were
