One man recently asked anoth-
er if he realized that seeing is
believing. His reply was, mo
I see you everyday but I do not
believe YOU. Many local people
felt just that way about the snow
on Easter morning. They had
seen it everyday for several
months but they could hardly
believe that it would fall afresh
on Easter. New Spring bonnets
and tender spring flowers alike
shivered. Most of the Easter
dresses were forced to seek shell
ter beneath winter coats, and
children found a diversion in
hunting eggs in the snow.
Emmett Mcmillan, a regular
and pleasant visitor here from
Nathan's Creek, showed up as u.s.
ual on Monday morning and re-
marked that one should make
the best of this snow as it would
be the last one for the season.
There are many who will be hap
py over Mr.. McMillan's predic-
ton if it comes true.
Talented Musician
The Charlotte Observer recent
ly carried large photograph OF
Miss Marie Roseman, announcing
that she had won along with six
other violinists from North Caro-
lima, the opportunity to go to
| Washington on May 81 to try out
for Leopold Stokowski's ALL
American youth orchestra which
will sail for South America for q
goodwill tour during the sum
mer.
It will be remembered that
Miss Roseman, with Mr.. Don
Richardson and Miss Elinor Niv-
en- gave a series of concerts here
last summer which were greatly
enjoyed.
And speaking of Mr.. Richard
son, it befell his lot to add come
dy to one of the greatest TRACE
dies Charlotte has ever known
the recent fire in the CUTLERY
apartment. Both Mr.. and Mrs
Richardson escaped unframed
but when the excitement had
died down slightly, Mr.. Richard
son found that he was toothless
Finally with the aid of firemen
he recovered his mouth property
little the worse for smoke.
Twinkling Again
Ashe county basketball stars
are shining again. The champion
ship Riverview team placed two
Stuart, center, Hartsoe, guard
on the Winston-Salem All-Tour-
nament team last week and in
addition brought home to Ashe
county the championship for the
first time.
This recalls to many who keep
up with the teams, that Lansing
at one time was a definite threat
and placed one player in this
all-star group. West Jeffersons
all-star, Bob Morgan was on this
coveted selection in 1886. While
Ashe county may boast of other
shining lights in other fields,
these are the only 4 players who
have made the all-tournament
teams which the Journal and
Sentinel tournament committee
has been selecting for the past
Is years. This is a big honor in
athletics since there are hundreds
in the tournament each year.
Style-Minded
Little Anne Francis, young
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
mond Francis had the distinction
of selecting her first Easter bon
net on Good Friday.
Anne is one of those distinc-
tive individuals who has devel-
oped flair for clothes even at an
early age and has definite likes
and dislikes about her apparel.
Anne, like thousands of others
who had gone on a buying jaunt
for Easter, must have found the
snow rather cruel on straw hats.
Full Protection
Joe Neal, popular insurance
salesman is out again after being
sick for some time. It is not hard
to imagine that Joe had some
protection in his case if he prac-
tees what he breaches, and I am
sure he must. All this is convinc-
| ing proof that ''You don't have
to die to win.
To See Or Hear
Tommy Williams asks the ques-
ton as whether it is more i'm
portant to see, land thereby
hear) or to close the eyes in rev.
erence in a deaf-mute prayer SER
