Elkin Y. M. C. A. Makes
Hit With Recent Guest
Daughter Of
Former Governor
Writes About It
The following article, taken
from the Cleveland Times, Shelby,
and written by Mrs. Isabel Hoey
Paul, daughter of former Govern
or Clyde R. Hoey, regarding her
visit to Elkin recently with her
distinguished father, who WM
speaker for a ladies’ night Ki-
wanis program, is a compliment
to Elkin and to the public spirit
ed citizens and friends of the
town who made the Gilvin Roth
Y. M. C. A. possible. Mrs. Paul
is on the staff of the Cleveland
Times.
She wrote the column prior to
her departure for California to
visit her husband, who is in. the
Navy:
“In the meantime since I hav
en’t yet started on the trip I
thought perhaps you would enjoy
reading about a really grand place
I have already visited. Last week
I went over to Elkin to the Ki-
wanis Ladies’ Night and the en
tire meeting was most delightful
but the part of it that impressed
me so tremendously was the
grand new Y. M. C. A. building
which the town of Elkin and the
Chatham Manufacturing Com
pany built and uses.
The building is of colonial ar
chitecture, red brick with huge
white columns and it is situated
on a high hill which slopes to the
street below with beautiful lawns

and shrubbery around. As you
enter the front door you come
into a lobby where the people all
gather and mill around before
meetings and it has a desk just
like a hotel, where the members
come in to sign up for sports or
classes. The walls are papered in
a lovely sporting print showing
two gentlemen of fashion fishing
and hunting.
The walls in the adjoining
rooms are panelled in lovely old
pine which had come from a shoe
factory, a building about a hun
dred years old, which had just
been torn down before this was
built. From the lobby a corridor
goes to both sides and the corri
dor on the left as you enter takes
you first to the card room, which
is a small room panelled in the
pine with three or four card ta
bles set up with chairs around
and it is used either as a card
room or for small family gather
ings. The carpet was most at
tractive being made of the home-
spun squares to resemble the old
time hooked rugs in colors of red,
brown and beige: (this was wo
ven to order at the mill to match
the color scheme of the room.)
Beyond this is the formal
drawing room which was furnish
ed by Mrs. Chatham and present
ed to the Y. M. C. A. The old
pine panelling was used in this
room with lovely bird prints for
pictures—each framed against a
dull green mat to blend in with
the deep dubonnet and almond
green of the furnishings. At one
end of the room is a huge grand
piano with a player attachment
and scattered around are sofas,
easy chairs, occasional tables and
the drapes of hand blocked linen
in dubonnet with a flower de
sign in green and yellow. This
room is used for large group
meetings and study clubs and is
like the formal lounge you would
see in a very swank Country Club.
doing back into the lobby and
taking the right hand corridor
brings you first to the library
which was moved into this build
ing from in town. The pine pan
elling is used in here and the
reading tables and chairs are all
of matching pine. There are
comfortbale sofas for reclining
while you read and these are up
holstered in a very dark green
woolen material exactly like the
draperies. Across the hall from
this room is the small formal din-
Revival to Start
At Boyd’s Chapel
Rev. B. C. Wise, Jewel Ridge
Va., will begin a series of revival
meetings on Saturday night, July
31, at Boyd’s Chapel, located two
miles west of Mountain Park. Rev.
Wise will be remembered through
this section as the ministei; who
helped the late Rev. H. M. Boyd,
Waynesboro, Ky., for a number of
years in revival meetings.
Rev. Wise will be assisted by
Rev. Mack Roberts, pastor of the
church. The services will start at
8:30 each evening. The public is
cordially invited to attend.
ing room which has a large fire
place with carved mantle over
which hangs the portrait of Mr.
Alex Chatham, one of the found
ers of the mill there. The trestle
table and chairs are all of an
tique oak. Beyond this dining
room to the back is the large
kitchen with all the needed
equipment and beyond there a
storeroom and pantries.
Just back of the lobby is the
gymnasium with a wonderful
court for basketball and around
the edges of the court, where the
bleachers are, roller skating may
be enjoyed when the seats are
folded back. The basketball
team has made quite a reputa
tion for itself and seeing such a
grand gym helps you to under
stand why.
In the basement is a huge
bowling alley with nine alleys and
the members have bowling teams
as well as basketball teams. Ping-
pong tables and space for indoor
picnics complete the basement.
On the second floor is the large
assembly room where the meet
ings take place and practically
every large meeting that requires
feeding is held in this building,
since it is the largest and most
elaborate one in the city. The
services of a full time secretary
are used and in addition there is
a director for the woman’s activ
ities and a choral director, as
well.
I came away from the meeting
feeling that I had been to a very
grand and wonderful place and 1
wished so much we could have
something as grand here. It was
like a very elegant country club
but without having the high dues
the club would require. Natur
ally the best feature of the meet
ing to me, aside from the pleasure
of being there, was the gift of a
beautiful Chatham blanket.”

The war has placed many restrictions upon your laundry, mak
ing it impossible for us to give the service to which you were
accustomed in pre-war days.
Restrictions upon the use of gasoline, tires, and an acute short
age of manpower now makes it impossible for us to make de
liveries upon a pre-war schedule, and makes it impossible for
us to make call-back trips to collect for the laundry once it has
been delivered.
For this reason, effective upon receipt of this notice, no laun
dry will be delivered unless payment is made at time of de
livery.
For those who cannot be at home when laundry is returned,
a monthly account may be arranged, subject to our approval.
