Turpin, (Mrs. Cyrus W.) has made a success of everything she has undertaken in her 69 years, except one she just cant stop work. The energetic little woman, who knows the Methodist church. Its leaders and work to perfection, followed the rules of the church and "retired" in 1947 at the age of 65. This week, at 69, she observed her birthday by reporting for some 20 newspapers and the church publications, the addresses of two bishops, a sermon by a leading Methodist preacher, in addition to publishing a daily news bulletin for Lake Junaluska Assembly. The- she wrote some resolutions afur Interviewing two separate speak ers about future addresses, and greeted a host of friends In her office in the administration build ing of the Assembly. She celebrated her birthday by stopping in mid-afternoon and drinking a glass of sweet cider, and then started in on the second round of work for the day. Mrs. Turpin, a resident of .Knox ville, has been trying to pjll the cover on her typewriter since 1947. Those who have been closely asso ciated with ner through the years feel that she had "too much speed" when she reached 65 to stop with in a mere three years. "It takes time to slow down from such a fast pace," she was told by a bishop recently. Early this spring Mrs. Turpin de cided to go to Hollywood for a well earned vacation. Her friends would not have been surprised to have learned that she had entered the movies by writing scripts and she did almost Jusf. that. She had been there but a few days when she found herself on an audience participation radio program where people tell funny experiences.

Presents The Latest Week of August 28th Through 1 Lahor Day mmm At Canton School To make a long story short, she won a beautiful gold watch by re counting one of her many news paper reminiscences. As she walked from the studio admiring 1 the watch, a messenger stuck a telegram at her. It was an urgent call to come back and handle the news at Lake Junaluska a post she had held since 1923. Before the messenger left she wrote a re ply: "I'll Be There." And when the 1950 season at Lake- Junaluska ends ' on Labor Day, Mrs. Turpin will have added thousands upon thousands of addi tional words to her already count less thousands which she has writ ten about the Methodists. She began writing for the Metho dists in 1914, and for a number of years, her work was in connection with the publication of missionary literature. All her writings have not been for publication, however, as she has been successful in writ ing a number of plays and pa geants. Many of these have been produced on the stage of Junalus ka. and the first was "Missionary Milestones" and was directed in 1021 by Prof. W. G. Smythc, late of Knoxville. Mrs. Turpin is a child of the Methodist parsonage, being the daughter of the late Rev. and Mrs. Wellborn Mooney. She was born in Tennessee, and has lived within the Volunteer State tall her life, Mrs. Turpin's mother was a writ er, and a sister of the late Will Allen Dromgoole, long time poet laureate of Tennessee. After eight years of writing for the Methodist church board in the literature department, she began to write stories in behalf of a church-wide missionary movement. when she realized that "religion is i news," loo. Then it was that she It was not always easy lor Mrs. Turpin to decide on what to re port, because after all, the service was supported financially by Un church, and was designed to In crease publication of religious news, Heing true to both, she adopted a professional code, which she has consistently followed throughout Ih thirty years. She said of the code, "1 decided that whatever happened, or was said, in Athletic Field Sponsored by Canton Lions Club ALL ROADS LEAD TO CANTON ON LABOR DAY Author V f REV. W. L.
