»THE Fastest giik'alive’*
Broderick Crawford, who boasts he is the
"fastest gun there is”, rides into the
peacefiiL coramunity of Cross Creek, where
Glenn Ford runs the general store© Ford
is hinself former guninan, '’the fastest
gun alive”, but has mr?,naged to keep that
reputation a secret because he knows that
otherwise he will attract everj" killer to
the town.
There is enough suspense and gunplay
to permit the film to qualify as an ac-
tioner, and the cast is headed by three
potent nacies-Glenn Ford, Jeanne Grain,
and Broderick Crawford,
He rode into Cross Creek with a chip
on his shoulder and bloodshed on his mndoo

Dear Amos8
Well-I arrived all se.fe and sound,right
on schedule, I thought you and Ben and the
children would like to know. It’s marvel
ous being here- but so many things are
different this year, Ky cousin, ”The
Country Mouse", isn’t having her Gift Shop
this suTumer- doctor*s orders, you know,
and while the little shop looks even love
lier than ever (on the outside)-and there
is far more room inside for our "scam-
perings", there is a feeling of sadness a-
bout it-not seeing all of the lovely things
that have always been in it, and we’ve lost
that feeling of gaiety we had as the crowd
would gather there for a bit of shopping]
I miss having to help tidy up the shop and
help with unpacking the lovely things that
usually come rolling in fast about this
time- calling for attention from all of us
to get them on display for our visitorsi
Lots of old friends are coming down to say
"Hello'' upon their arrival, but I feel sure
we’ll miss lots of the happiness we’ve
always had when "The Shop" was open at full
blast.l We are having to run down to the
other Country Mouse shop, at Clemson, which
of course, is open all year ’round, just t)
check up on things, but even that does not
take the place of the dear little old shop
that I have always been a part of here on
Sequoyoh Lake since its beginning in 1947i
It seems sad, seeing the little shop not
being used at all* Of course wo have had
some gay little parties down there, and are
going to have more of them-little "Studie
Affairs", you know] It has been lots of fun
and everyone seems to have enjoyed them
