JUST A
WOMAN'S
: OBSERVATIONS !
By DOROTHY B. SHUPE
Had a funny experience while
in Durham at the hotel where I
a aruest during the Democrat
ic Woman's Convention last week.
I can usually understand what peo
ple say down Bast, but maybe my
hearing is getting bad!
I had a dress that needed press
ing and when the waiter brought
mv breakfast to my room, I ask
ed him whom to call for that serv
ice. In soma hotels it's called
"Maid Service," or many other
names, you know, and he told me
to call "Ba-il Service," I thought.
Hot being sure of his pronuncia
tion, I asked him to repeat the
name and he said plainly, "Ba-il
Service."
I could vision, in my mind, some
Mr. Bail who probably did the dry
cleaning and pressing service for
the hotel. So, I picked up the
phone, and as clearly like the
waiter said, "Ba-il Service,"
please.
The next voice I heard, as you
probably have already guessed,
was "BELL, captain:
Went over to Weaverville Mon
day night to lead a discussion at
a school of instruction for the
Buncombe County PTA Council
and was pleasantly surprised to
have Mrs. Jane Landers Arrowood
of Oakley come to my group dis
cussion, instead of going to the
group on duties of presidents and
vice president. When she announ
ced her name in my group as Mrs.
Arrowood and said she had no
office, but that her husband was
r vice president. I told her she
should be in the other group
When she said she just wanted to
be in my group because we were
old school friends, I realized then
who she was and I was flattered
that she joined my discussion
group.
Ann Leake went with me and,
tr her surnrise. her brother. Ed
win McDevitt, was on the pro
gram to give the devotions. And
another Madison person there was
the president of the council, Mrs.
Dean Garter, formerly of Mars
Hill. Ah, it's a small world, isn't
it ? Or is it jut that we Madison
people get around?

Was sorry iOjhear tonight about

recovery and I'm sure with all the
modern science of today, he will
be well taken care of in the hos
pital. Met Emma Kate McDevitt
leaving the Island this (Tuesday)
morning and she seemed a bit sad
as she was to go into a hospital
today for treatment. Best of
Juck to you, gal, and hurry back
home soon.
I missed hearing Jewell and
Joyce Ball and Charlotte on the
radio last week about 4-H Club
Week and asked Jerry Plemmons
to save the tape and let me hear
it on mv return. Bless his heart,
he did save it and I went up this
afternoon and was tnrinea io
hear my own youngun's voice. She
pounded very mature to me, and
little Joyce was so cute, and Jew
ell gave her usual performance
in most every thing very good.
It was nice to see Sandy Smith
at WMMH, and Boyce and I were
discussing how a few years back
when we were at Walnut school
hnw npi t.her of us ever dreamed
wi - - niout- n niv- a -

bad law and should be amended or
abolished, but my plea was to
give the governor and commission
a fair chance to do something. Af
ter all, the bill was passed in 1963
itnd Governor Sanford, an excel
lent educational governor, did
nothing about it and he, at that
time, had been in office for over
two years.
'Every one did, however, sup
port my resolution for our con
vention to go on record as sup
porting the road bond issue," she
added.
"After the meeting ended, I was
pleasantly surprised when State
Superintendent of Public Schools,
Dr. Charles Carroll, came by and
said I had presented the right ap
proach about the Speaker Ban
Law and he commended me for
my stand. Representatives from
Several counties did also," she
said.
The glamour of the convention,
Mrs. Shupe said, was the banquet
apeaker the first night, Mrs. Hale
Boggs of Washington, D. C, wife
of the Majority Whip in the
House of Representatives. She
spoke on President Johnson's
beautification program. Also in
the glamour area was a fashion
show by a Durham store.
"The highlight of glamour for
many was the tea that Mrs. Moore
gave for us at the mansion in Ra
leigh. Greeting us with Mrs
Moore were Mrs. John Robinson
national committeewoman who did
an outstanding job at presiding
at the convention; Mrs. L. Y. cat
lantine, state executive commit
tee secretary; Mrs. IW Scott,
wife of the Lt. Governor! Mrs. Li
na Stout, convention chairman;
Mrs. "Lib" Johnson of state head
quarters office; the congression
al directors and assistants ours
were Mrs. "Bobby" Hall of Ashe
ville and Mrs. B. J. Romeo of
Hendersonville, both of whom
were very attractive; wives of for
mer governors; wives of our state
council; and others," Mrs. Shupe
concluded.
