I was late getting started and when I got on the narrow road to Glory Ridge I met cars coming from G. R....they told me the supper was to be at the Old Mill Wheel due to con ditions caused by heavy rains... I had another ap pointment at 7:30 so I knew I couldn't make it to the pic nic... understand I missed a fine picnic supper and im pressive Vesper Services.. .but on Sunday morning, August 12, 1 motored to Hot Springs to "cover" the morning service at the Presbyterian Church where D-B Alumni were honored. ..as usual, the Rev. George A. Moore, pastor, had charge of a fine service, followed by Holy Com munion. ..after the services, there was a bountiful picnic Sleepy Valley Groups Have The Sleepy Valley Rural West Madison Development Group, Inc. and the Sleepy Valley Ladies Extension Homemakers Club held their 19th Annual picnic and program on Aug. 16, 1973 at the New Sleepy Valley Cor poration Center at 6:30 p.m. Along with the 55 persons present were Mr. and Mrs. Morris McGough of Asheville, and Brigadier and Mrs. James P. Henry of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. McGough is Executive Vice President of the Western North Carolina Development Association, Inc. for the 18 Western counties in the Development Association. He is active in many civic affairs as well as pushing community development work. He is known all over western North Carolina for his great en thusiasm in encouraging Missing Continued from Page 1 postal clerk, got the word of his family's safety while sitting in the sheriff's office in Marshall. "He was just glad to learn that they were all right," Ponder said. Ponder said he had just about ruled out any element of foul play in connection with the fire. "I would say chances are above 50-50 that it (the fire) was accidental." 'The family apparently left under some emotional strain," Ponder said, adding that their reasons for leaving were "best known to them selves." Jarvis, who worked the night shift in the main Asheville Post Office, had returned to his home off Beech Glen Road about 1:30 a.m. Saturday to find his house destroyed by fire and his family gone. His wife's car was found parked in the driveway. Ponder indicated that some domestic problems within the family may have contributed to the mother leaving with the children. "There was a difference of opinion as to what was best for the family," he said. The sheriff said his in vestigation led him to a vehicle rental company in Asheville where he learned that Mrs. Jarvis had con tracted two weeks ago to rent a van. Ponder said Mrs. Jarvis returned to Asheville Friday and picked up the van about 5:30 p.m. While her husband was at work. Ponder said the woman apparently returned to their Mars Hill home, gathered up a few things and left with the children. In the rush of leaving, Mrs. Jarvis may have left one of the eyes burning on an electric stove in the bouse, according to Ponder, who said "the house burned from the inside. We know that" Pander said Mrs. Janris used an "assumed name" in renting the van. The sheriff said the woman who rented the ran to Mrs. Janrto later identified te missing womaa bum a picture Ponder showed her. Ponder said the husband alee Identified his wife's handwriting In the signature . oa the rental contract Neighbors si the Beech Glen secfioa hod reported hearing gvnfirc coining from the ' Jarrii borne at the time of the ' fire, but Ponder had as ex- p la nation for this also, "Jarvis had three pistols in Heard And Seen By Pop lunch served in the Fellowship HaH...but...I was asked to play the organ at a funeral here Sunday p. m. at two o'clock and I didn't have time to enjoy the dinner at Hot Springs.. .that's two free meals I missed.. .but I enjoyed being at the morning service at Hot Springs...

George A. Moore who visualized the possibilities and did something about it... through faith and the efforts of many dedicated persons, I feel that Glory Ridge will some day be one of our country's greatest assets. ..the location is perfect and the scenery is community development and beau Mica ti on Brigadier Henry is a traveling evangelist for the Salvation Army's Southern territory. He was in charge of Mountain Mission for five years which included Sleepy Valley Corp. He and Mrs. Henry were here visiting friends during their annual vacation. As everyone gathered for the picnic a time of fun and fellowship was enjoyed at 6:30 aD gathered around the table and the Rev. Hubert Lamb asked the blessing. Everyone then enjoyed their meal and chatted with friends. After the picnic all gathered inside the corporation center to enjoy a special program. President Marie Osteen welcomed those present asking the community Family the house and several boxes of ammunition," Ponder said, adding that the loaded pistols and ammunition probably fired from the flames in the house. Mrs. Jarvis had been em ployed by Mars Hill College for the past few years and her 19-year-old daughter, Wanda, had completed her freshmen year at the four-year, liberal arts college. Robert Chapman, the college registrar, said Mrs. Jarvis was "one of the most efficient secretaries on the campus." He said she had worked as a secretary in the college's music department. Chapman said Wanda Jarvis came into his office Friday afternoon and asked for a transcript of her college record. "She didn't say what she was going to do with it," Chapman recalled. Ponder said he anticipated no charges to be filed. Democrats Plan For Action Mrs. Jena Lee Buckner has been appointed to be the Telethon Chairman for Madison County by Ed Renfrew, State Chairman for the Democratic National Telethon. The Telethon will be broadcast over the NBC Network on September 15th from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., to raise funds for the State and National Democratic Party and to give Americans a stake in their government by in volving them... through their contributions.. in the political system. Explaining the purpose of the Telethon, North Carolina Telethon Committee Chair, man Ed Renfrew said, 'Tor the past several years, political campaigns hare beea honghtand sold as I they were a commodity. Large con tributions have become conxnoa place because too . few Americans have ben willing . to shoulder - the financial burden of political campaigns. The Democratic Telethon offers Americans the opportunity to safeguard the Integrity of their government by assuming that financial burden." beautiful. ..we enjoyed the excellent picnic supper and fellowship with the host and hostess, George and Mozell Moore... we were also glad to again be with Paul and Uz Syles, who live on Glory Ridge. ..Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Goldsmith also came to the- camp grounds and we had a great time together talking and watching the sun set.. .incidentally Ernie and Liz have a cute dog named "Jo Jo" who I believe is the "Mayor" of Glory Ridge. ..we discovered that Liz is an excellent "friend chicken cook". ..we also enjoyed the Jeep ride around the Ridge with George at the wheel... they 're all fine people and I hope to return to G.

Meety IHcnic choir to render two songs at this time as a part of the devotional. Brigadier Henry gave a wonderful inspiring devotional taking his scripture from Proverbs 11. Next President Osteen turned the program over to Morris McGough who had a special treat for all showing slides on community beautif ication He had beautiful slides of attractive community signs, mail boxes, flower gardens, beautiful well kept lawns, improved road side beautification, miniature community recreation parks kept up by the sponsoring community club and many others and compared these with trash along the road sides, junk cars, unkept lawns etc. stressing the point of beautification being truly dependent upon the people and encouraging all of us to do more to beautify our surroundings. He also reminded us of the motto of our community clubs "There is no limit to what a com munity can do if it wants too." President , Osteen then brought to-iveryone'is at tention a beautiful display of articles which made by five neighborhood youth corps workers sponsored by the Sleepy Valley Rural West Madison Dev.

The articles included pine cone wreaths, candles, pot holders, decoupage plaques and trash cans. Everyone admired the article and some were sold.
