Mrs. Edmondson and Mrs. Fran Weber were entertaining Circle 8 of W. S. C. S., but Mrs. Ed mondson was not able to be present because of a death in her family. She has our sym pathy and I hope to go for a visit one day this week. Every thing was going along smoothly until late Tuesday af ternoon when our building next to the Democrat office caught on fire. It is amazing what thoughts race through the mind when one's life-line is threat ened. My first impulse was to rush in and get the books and other valuables, but later decid ed to try to be calm, which I thought I was doing. Soon the very able firemen of our town had the blaze under control, and several days later I began to feel normal again. That was when I discovered I was not calm at all . . . just stifling my anxiety. I could write chapters on the valuable service our fire men render to our county for nothing . . . and I am of the opinion that they should be paid the highest salary of any person in public office. For . . . without them we might not have a town one of these days. I really appreciate them and hope they are properly rewarded in the near future. Had a nice surprise Wednes day. Mildred (Mrs. C. H.) Har ris of Salisbury came by for a visit and stayed for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed having her . . . and she says they plan to open their summer home in Blowing Rock very soon. Mrs. Bessie (D. T.) Brown, a long-time friend, came by the office Thursday and gave me a recipe for a 'different' cake. She hadn't given it a name, but it is a pretty pink cake . . . very good indeed and not at all hard to make. You must try it while fresh strawberries are in season. Pretty Pink Cake 1 package Pillsbury white cake mix 1 package strawberry Jello 4 eggs 3-4 cup melted margarine H cup cold water 1 cup strawberries. Add berries last and mix well. Bake in 3 layer pans in 350 to 375 degree oven. For ic ing use 3 cups powdered sugar, V4 cup fresh strawberries, 1 tablespoon vanille and about H cup melted margarine or enough to make icing of proper spreading consistency. I think this is exceptionally good and I hope all of you like it. Thanks, Miss Bessie! Virginia Linney left Sunday for a tour of Europe . . . and will be gone a month. The Van Noppens arranged the tour . . . as they did last year . . . and several Boone people are on it. On June 28, Virginia plans to meet her nieee, Beverly Wary, in Paris. She has been teaching in Turkey for the past year. They are such a close family and I'm sure this will be s hap py reunion. So glad all of them could go on such a nice trip! The summer season opened with a bang in Blowing Rock Saturday night when the Rob binses of Tweetsie Railroad en tertained the press at a dinner party at Green Park Hotel. Fred Kirby of WBTV was surround ed by children of all ages while the adults enjoyed a social hour. Guests from Boone and near-by towns went over for the evening only . . . while some of those who came from a distance arrived on Friday and were royally treated by the Robbins family for the week end. Must have had between 300 and 390 for dinner Saturday evening. They are most generous and we enjoyed their hospital"*! No more room is iett ... so will give you all the" news I know in my next letter. Love, Mom June 10, 1963.
