Ira Thomas Johnston son of Romolus & Cisco Fletcher Johnston. Was born August I, 1882 at Idlewild near the top of the Blue Ridge. He was the oldest of a family of fourteen children.
He was educated at Idlewild Elementry School, at Applachion Training School, which is now Applachian State University, from there he went to Wake Forest College, now Wake Forest University, and finished there in I915.
The next two years he taught in Jefferson High School. At the end of that time he went into the practice of law. The war came along and Ira joined the Army. He was about to be rejected for being under weight, he slipped out ate all the bananas he could hold and passed the test.
For two years he served in the Army Medical Corps, as a Sargent. After the War he returned to, his law practice.
His interest in peace and harmony kept him from making as much money as some lawyers might have made. Because many of his clients were advised to make peace, or settle out of Court. He continued his practice alone, until his son, Thomas Shull Johnston finished law school and joined his father in the office of Johnston& Johnston. It was in this office that he died suddenly, Oct I8, 197I.
He married Mary Shull July 9,1919. Their only child was Thomas Shull Johnston. Ira was interested in all things that would make this a better country, and a better place to live. He was a loyal member of the West Jefferson First Baptist Church, where he taught the men's Bible Class for more than thirty five years. He was recognized as one of the best Bible Scholars, and teachers.
6
In the Ashe Baptist Association he was a big influence. His knowledge of Parlimen- tary procedures, helped to keep the business sessions moving and in order.
Possibly no other man in the county so richly deserved to be called Kr, Baptist. Many times he was called to fill the pulpit of some preacher in the area. When he spoke in church he had a message full of practical Christianity.
Ira was civic minded, he was a Trustes of the University of North Carolina from 1933 to 1955. A Trustee of the Ashe Memorial Hospital from the day it was founded until his death, he held numerous positions with the Baptist State Convention board of North Carolina.
He was a charter member of the Jeffersons Rotary Club, and at one time or another held most every office in the Club.
While he was a student in School he attended a Singing Convention at Bethany Methodist Church at Baldwin. After much pers- uasion he got up to address the crowd, with an extemporaneous sprech. When he got up and said "if I could say any thing, 0! Lord I'M scared." This tock the house down, from there he went on to make a wonderful talk.
Ira went to Raleigh as a representative in the State Legislature 1930-32. 1938.1940. and to the State Senate 1962-64.
While in Raleigh Carl Goerch asked him to take over his radio program, while Carl took a vacation. He told Ira, "Now don't be 1 so good that they will fire me and give you my job, and dont be so bad that I will be fired.

PROFESSOR A. D.GOODMAN
I know of no Baptist layman who deserves honorable mention more in the history of Ashe Baptist Association, than Professor A . D. Goodman.
He has served his entire life along with. his dear wife, in the Ashe County School system.
Possibly more years in the West Jefferson, and Beaver Creek High Schools. He has been a power of influence in the molding the lives of young men and women for good.
Among these are Lawyers, Doctors, Farmers, School Teachers, Preachers among many major denominations.
Other professions, you name it and he has touched their lives somewhere.
Mnay business men in Ashe County and else where he has touched their lives.
I have a great appreciation for the close personal touch he has had upon the life of my four sons whom he has taught across the years, the outstanding Christian influence he has yealded over them.

Goodman Served As Chairman, Bicent. Historical Committee
Ashe County was fortunate in having A. D. Goodman as Chair- man of its Bicentennial Histori- cal Committee. He has been in- terested in collecting and record- ing history all his life. At the age of 21 he started his dairy which now contains more than 18,000 pages, with at least one page for each day for more than 51 years.
A. D. Goodman was born in Ashe county on February 21, 1901, on Knettle Knob Road. Af- ter graduating from high school at Jefferson in 1921, he attended Wake Forest College where he received his B. S. degree in 1928. He was the second student from Ashe county to receive a degree at Wake Forest, and is now the oldest surviving alumnus from this county. (Ira Johnston was the first from Ashe county to get a degree at Wake Forest.)
For the following 40 years Mr. Goodman taught math, sometimes along with science and history. He taught 1 year at Orion Grade School, 2 years at Oak Hill Bap- tist Academy at Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, 2 years as principal and teacher at Kings Creek, Caldwell county, 2 years at Green Valley, Ashe county, 5 years at Fleet- wood High School, 9 years at Healing Springs High School, 6 years at West Jefferson High School, and 13 years at Beaver Creek High School.
Mr. Goodman is a member of the First Baptist Church in West Jefferson and serves as Deacon. He is a charter member and past president of the West Jefferson Lions Club, and also served as

A. D. GOODMAN
Club secretary for 5 years.
Along with his teaching he en- joyed his hobbies of woodworking and camping. He is now living in the third house that he built with his own hands.
As Chairman of the Ashe Coun- ty Bicentennial Historical Com- mittee, Mr. Goodman spent many, many hours writing and collect- ing fascinating stories and facts appearing in the book "Rambling Through Ashe". For this we ex- tend our heartfelt thanks.
Copies of this book are still available and can be purchased at the new library or the Cham- ber of Commerce, both located in West Jefferson.

OAK HILL ACADEMY GIVEN $100,000 CHALLENGE GIFT
It's not often that a school president has the opportunity of obtaining a $100,000 gift for his school.
But for Robert B. Isner, president of Oak Hill Academy, located here, the chance has come.
Several weeks ago, Isner was contacted by A. J. Fletcher of Raleigh, who has given the grant to Oak Hill, with the stipulation that the school matches the donation with a like amount of money.
Isner was delighted with the idea and has begun laying groundwork to match the gift.
According to Isner, Fletcher offered the gift as a memorial to his father, the late Rev. James Floyd Fletcher, a Baptist minister who founded the church on the Oak Hill campus, Young's Chapel Baptist Church.
Rev. Fletcher organized or helped organize several churches in the Grayson-Ashe, N. C., area during his ministry.
Among the churches are State Line in Johnson County, Tenn .; two Friendship Baptist Churches, one in Grayson and one in Ashe; Fiat Ridge, now known as Glenwood; Gold Hill, Independence, Trout Dale, and Fox in Grayson County; Big Flats, Grassy Creek, New River and New Cranberry, now known as Bellview, in Ashe County.
The late Rev. Fletcher was no stranger to Oak Hill. He was pastor of the Young's Chapel Church on four different occasions and also a chaplain at the school. Rev. Fletcher lived on the Oak Hill campus in the house now occupied by School Dean L. D. Ussery.
I3
Isner said the school had been in contact with Mr. Fletcher about the gift for the last four years and he just recently made the decision to give the money to Oak Hill.
Isner added that the money would be used to build a much needed chapel-library building. It is now planned to dedicate the building as a tribute and a memorial to the late Rev. James Floyd Fletcher, for whom the building will be named.
Oak Hill was founded in 1878 and has grown over the last several years to its present enrollment of 210 students.
Grades 8-12 are taught at the co-educational school with students representing 13 states and seven foreign countries enrolled.
The school is owned and operated by the Virginia Baptist Association. Isner said the gift was the largest ever given to the school.

According to Isner, Fletcher offered the gift as a memorial to his
A. J. Fletcher recently had the Music Center on the campus of East Carolina University dedicated in his honor-the A. J. Fletcher Music Center. Mr. Fletcher can best be described in the following citation given by James Ralph Scales, president of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N. C., in awarding him the distinguished Alumnus Citation of 1971:
"A. J. Fletcher did not come from an old Wake Forest family -- he started one. One of 14 children of a poor Baptist minister in Ashe County, N. C., he overcame a sketchy educational background and went on to study law at Wake Forest. Now he and all three of his sons are among Wake Forest's choicest alumni.
"Mr. Fletcher has done many things since he Jeft Wake Forest in 1912 and has been successful at all of them. He has practiced law, edited a small town newspaper, founded an insurance company, designed and built a cemetery so beautiful it has become a tourist attraction, built a golf lriving range;
I5
I6
and developed a highly successful broadcasting complex in Raleigh, including WRAL-TV and WRAL-Radio.
"To some people Mr. Fletcher's business success is incongruous with his strong support for the arts (Let those critics study the Renaissance, the rise of the great cities of Modern Europe, and the princely support given the arts in America by the rugged individualists of an earlier day). "To some people Mr. Fletcher's well-known editorial differences with what he calls "the liberal establishment" among the media is inconsis- tent with the liberal education we profess (Let such critics examine again those virtues we sing as attributes of Wake Forest, a vigorous and critical look at all ideas).
"Those who know a little more about him know his love for music developed from the same background as did his industry and independence.
As a 12-year-old boy in North Wilkesboro he heard an aria from the opera "Faust. " Two years ago this month, the one millionth school child attended a performance of the National Opera Company he founded in 1943. The English- Language Touring Opera Company, designed both to let children hear opera and to give promising young singers a start, is Mr. Fletcher's one financial failure. It is a glorious failure, and he cheerfully makes up its deficits year after year.
I7
"And A. J. Fletcher, vital and energetic all his life, is not ready to slow down. Within a few weeks of his eightieth birthday he got married, was admitted to practice law before the United States Supreme Court, chased a burglar from his home, and shot his age in golf. By the way, he is 33 now, and he still shoots his age in golf."

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION REPORT
"Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." This is the key to full and complete living - a know- ledge of the truth. To this ideal as set forth by our Master we must be committed as individuals, and to it our schools must be committed if they are to fulfill their mission and jus- tify their existence.
There are several things that claim our attention with re- gard to Christian Education in our state. I speak of it on the college level. The first is that in recent years higher educa- tion has grown in popularity. Part of this has been due to the increase brought about through the assistance given to G. I.s by the Federal Government. There are indications, however, that those going to college will continue to increase even when the G. I. program is ended.
The second observation is the need on the part of our colleges for equipment to maintain proper standards of scholar- ship. The increased appropriations for state schools reflects the need as applies to them. Our Baptist schools must keep pace if they are to attract our most capable young men and
