A man who left much for the benefit of the entire world — vet. but when a babe having been abducted by night raiders during the Civil War and then returned to the Carvers, his ■ white family, by one of them, who said "here he is. he aint't worth nuthin'" — this same man turned down a SIOO,OOO job because he said he might forget people. The magic of the world held George Carver in her arms and as a result of his avid interest in nature this talented man was an artist, a teacher, a scientist, and one who has given to agriculture untold accomplishments. After a long life, at age 80. "He was in that everlasting garden with his God." Besides walking for his health, Mr. Beaty walks for people — in w alkathons, to help raise money for the Boy Scouts, for the lung association and. other organizations. He walks in winter, summer, spring and fall and finds that every season has its own beauty. Mr. Beaty doesn't walk alone, he has a dailycompanion —a dog — not his own but a neighbors who greets and walks with him every morning. In referring to the seasons in which he walks. Mr. Beary, who quotes poetry like none other, quoted excerpts pertinent to each season, from the works of James Whitcomb Riley. Alfred Lord Tennyson and James Russell Lowell. He said shortest poem he knew was written by Ogden Nash who wrote "Do I love the Beautiful Snow? — "No." Beauty is not to be found in all of Mr Beaty's walks but he said surely in a walk along the tracks, there are tracks that leave footprints in the sands of time.
