Before carpeting it laid, ex

baseboards with filler. If surti

they make fine breeding spots

JEAN'S PERSONAL COLUMN
Dear Jane And Rachel:
By JEAN L. RIVERS
I im running about a week
late with my letter and in order
to bring you up to date, here
are the highlights up to last
Friday.
Week before last was a happy
one for me. Your daddy decid
ed to celebrate my birthday a
little early because he had a
business meeting, and since it
has become tradition for him
to send me red roaes . . . they
came about S:00 Wednesday af
ternoon. After that we had a
nice dinner, then opened the
gifts: Next day Lucy (Mast Wat
son) had a bridge-luncheon in
my honor, and Jewell and Fred
(Hast) took us for a steak din
ner at the Town House Restaur
ant Friday evening. Jewell had
baked and beautifully decorat
ed one of her delicious cakes
and it was brought to the table
with the candles lighted. Sev
eral years ago I decided to for
get birthdays, but my good
friends insist on remembering
and I do appreciate it very
much.
Howard and Sarah (Cottrell)
celebrated their 21st wedding
anniversary on Sunday, the
27th, and when Howard was
telling us about it in the of
fice the Friday before, he said
it seemed more like 3 than 21.
He is a great big teaser most of
the time, but he wasn't kidding
about this. They have had an
exceptionally good life togeth
er, and we wish for them many,
many more years of happiness.
Kat and R. D. (Hodges) are
in Florida for two weeks. I
think I told you earlier that
both of them had been ill and
I do hope they come back feel
ing much better. They took
their young son Jeff with them
and I know he is having a won
derful time. I want both of you
to know him better ... he is
one of the cutest children I
ever knew! He called to wish I
me a happy birthday just before
they left.
Johnny and Becky (Councill) .
are the proud parents of an
other little boy born January
29th. They named him Benjam
in David and I forgot to ask
Becky which name they plan to ;
use daily. Their little Johnny |
is 7, Tracy is 5, and both of
them are as cute as can be.
They have been so excited over
the arrival of the new little
one ... I believe Tracy wanted
a little sister, but I bet she
wouldn't trade for one this i
morning.
Rachel, Mr. Hamp (Black
I irn) had surgery at Cannon
Memorial Hospital in Banner
Elk lait week, and is very ill.
He hai been auch a good friend
of yours through the years . . .
let you ride his horses by the
day for years, and the last time
I talked with him he said you
seemed as near to him as a
granddaughter. I do hope he is
going to be all right!
Love.
