Cf., fa., M, Is the present really the reach of the mind? Can man not turn his brilliant perceptions of trends and nuisances into the far seeing powers which were sought so diligently by the astrologists and numerologists? Man broke the atom. He traversed the speed of sound. Why then is it so impossible for man to use his sciences to train his mind in such a way that the future would become apparent to him? With a mental stimulant such as hyp- nosis and with a mind to stimulate I find it possible to project my mind into another's mind as well as into the future. fTime April 10, 19801 His name is Jimmy Blantong heis leader of the band, and as Jimmy swag- gers along the crowded street in the lead of his musical company, his big heart is fairly bursting with pride. This, yes, this is the day of dayswthe moment of moments-Shelby has at last built a Recreation Center. As the band ap- proaches the speaker's stand, Jimmyis mind recalls the hardships and labors, which the people of Shelby endured to reach this goal. 'Tor ten years the women's auxiliaries of the town, led by Doris Champion and Neva Campbell, have been the power house of every fund-raising drive. Mayor Miles Beam, Aldermen Dean Forten- berry, Jim Whisnant, Frank Carver, and .lack Eubanks have placed the Center at the head of the cityfs needs. The local newspaper, managed by Jimmy Tiddy and edited by Margaret Rabon, has virtually waged a crusade on behalf of the Recreation Center. '4About a year ago architect Walter Harris submitted the selected plans and contractor Joe Roberts started con- struction, on the land given to the city bv restaurant magnate Jack O'I.eary. Jane Cabaniss, contemporary Ameri- can artist, volunteered to paint the murals frelative to the life of Isaac Shel- byl in the reception hall and lounge, while sculptor Andre Miller presented his marble statue-Health-llthe model being Annie Lee Ledford, the famed beauty queen, to be placed in the center of the parkl . Mary Louise Horn was appointed manager of the Center, Shirley Huskey hostess, Kenneth Bridges and Marianne Weathers recreation directors. This ex- cellent staff has been working for weeks to get the center ready for its formal opening, todayf' During the two hour speech made by big Bill McKee, political boss, Jimmy recognized the dignitaries as Shelbyis native sons. There were Maestro Albert Propst, Robert Litton, M.D.g atomic scientist, Professor Don Green, com- poser, Carolyn Biggerstaffg and photo- chemist, Dr. Amy Wilson. As Sibley Dorton froaching his silver locks down his neck after a sweeping bowl, aided by representative Izzi and state legislator Reynolds, unveiled the bronze plaque which dedicated the Rec- reation Center to the people of Shelby, I, after glancing around, noticed that the band leader's eyes were not the only tear-filled ones. These were tears of joy and not of sorrow because Shelby citi- zens had risen to the occasion and had met in a fine way the needs of the com- munity. Prophet Brewster Eskridge
