If yea have fMished school or qatt il>nl > ... we have Jobs waiting $50 to U00 A Week The weather in Boone has been unusual chilly for the past week. We have had our furnace going since last Tuesday night and it i? still cold . , . thermo meter standing right on 94 de grees now. I heard we had con siderable froat Friday morn ing, but no great damage was done so far as I can see. Our iris and peonies are in fine con dition, but I haven't heard how the vegetables and tobacco far ed. Good, I hope. Your daddy and I went to a dinner party at the Lenoir Country Club last Sunday night and had a mighty good time. We were the guests of the Kel leys, who entertained in honor of Sam Adams of West Palm Beach, Florida. He was here visiting his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Taylor Adams. I do hope you can go there on a Sunday night some time. Their variety of food astounds me and I al ways get too much of every thing. It is delicious . . . and to be surrounded by good friend; at the same time is wonderful Rachel, we are delighted that you have decided to slow down some and come home for the summer. In addition to your needing a rest, we need you here on the Democrat. As we told you earlier ... we would prefer that you rest, but you as sured us you would be going strong in a week. I keep think ing it will take you as long to recuperate from a long siege of hard work as it would me . . . but young people snap back so much quicker. It will be good to have you! Eight new houses are under construction between Maymead Block Company and M & R Furniture Co. . . . and four others were recently completed.

From our front porch we can see a new one in the gap on Howard's Knob. You never saw a town and county grow like our*. On Thursday I had a real treat. Went to a bridge-luncheon given by Ruth Coe and Natalie Meeks. I had been anxious to see the Coe home for some time, in fact, ever since they had fin ished remodeling and decorat ing. I walked in expecting to see the group in the living room which has been done in soft green and white, but Ruth ush ered us on into their new den . . . and It ni a lovely sight to see. Most of the guests had ar rived before we did and they were sitting around the room in which five tables had been set up for play. I mention this so you can get an idea of the siie of this room . . . and there was room enough for at least two more tables. The room is paneled in walnut and the east and west is enclosed mainly with glass. The carpet is of soft green with matching draw drapes, and a large fireplace is in the end of the room. Look ing west (juat outside of the den) one sees a beautiful swim ming pool, and a lovely view of Rich Mountain. The view to the east reaches almost to the golf course. I'm not going to tell you any more about the Coe home, which will be shown dur !ng the "Tour of Homes" in \ugust. If folks in this area en ioy seeing pretty things as much as I do, they won't miss this tour. And, in addition to snjoying the home I met ever <o many people I had not met before, and had a delicious luncheon. It was a good day!
