So again the form of Sergeant York rose out of the valley, above the
mountains, and the sunlight of the nation's approval fell upon it. Men
of prominence volunteered to aid him in his efforts for the children of
the mountains, and the result was the incorporation of the York
Foundation, a non-profit-sharing organization, that is to build
schoolhouses and operate schools. Among the trustees are an ex-Secretary
of the United States Treasury, bishops of the churches, a state
governor, a congressman, bankers, lawyers and business men.
[Footnote: The Trustees of the York Foundation are: Bishop James
Atkins, Methodist Episcopal Church, South; W. B. Beauchamp,
Director-General of the Methodist Centenary, Nashville, Tenn.; George
