Senior Citizens Have Good
Time; Day Spent At Tweetsie
What b so rare u a day in
June! William Shakespeare
never found anything finer but
then he never lived ia Watauga
County nor did he ever visit
Tweetaie Land. The Senior
Citizens of Boone and Blowing
Bock found that spending ' the
day in Tweetaie Load made
even a perfect day ia June
more than perfect
For the more than forty peo
ple who attended, it was indeed
a memorable occasion.. They be
gan to assemble at about eleven
o'clock and soon after they were
all aboard Tweetaie Train for
the famous trip around the
mountain. The swing and sway
of the little old cart; the chug
chug of the engine and every
toot of the Tweetaie whistle
brought back memories of their
yesterdays when this self-same
Tweetaie Bailroad was Wa
tauga County's principal life
line, the moat important con
necting link with the outaide
world.
At noon there was lunch in
the Tweetaie Palace and for
good measure they enjoyed the
unuaual Palace Floor Show.
Next came the climb up the
bean stalk to the Castle in the
Land of the Sky to see the
Sleeping Giant. Some made this
trip by bus, but a surprising
number rode the Sky-Lift. Ev
eryone waa impressed with the
view from the Castle and awed
by the aspect of the Sleeping
Giant, whose slumbers they were
careful not to disturb.
As the happy group turned
homeward it was interesting to
hear their varied remarki about
this pleasant outing. One eld
erly gentleman frankly admit
ted that he had never in hia
whole life enjoyed a day more.
A grandmother expressed ap
preciation that there was some
one who was interested enough
in the older people to plan such
an Interesting outing. "For,"
she added, "we have little
enough social contacts and the
regular meeting of this group
gives us aw? thing to Ml for
ward to." . ?
Special thanks go to Mm. B.

partment for her continued in

Brown and Mrs. Ralph Winkler

tation.

the mechanics of the transfus
