BURNSVILLE, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1940
BURNSVILLE—
“So They Say”
Weather: Rainy.
Fortunately, this doesn’t
seem to dampen spirits,
i The Woman’s Club meet
" ing last Thursday was the
best ever. Many guests, an
enjoyable program, and a
lovely birthday cake for
50th anniversary cf Feder
ated Clubs. Hilda Wray re
tired as president after
most successful term of of-
and the club welcom
, ed Bernice Justice as new
; president.
Then the yong folks hac
i dance at the club house
’ Wednesday night merry
■ time and a number of visi
' tors Picnics still, too,
though the showers' come
at all hours.
Haven’t heard yet whe
ther John English will de
cide to quit work altogeth
er or just not to wear glov
es anymore. John” was
working and he decided to
put on his gloves. A black
widow spider, cozily nest
ed in the little finger of a
glove, did not like the dis
turbance and immediately
bit John’s little finger. The
result was far from pleas
ant and John was very sick
for a few hours but is bet
ter now. And he’s probably
stiill thinking that if he
hadn’t been working .. ...
Frank English Jfa _fee
Wilson, though, are still
ridin’ high in the pick-up
they purchased jointly ...
D. R. Fouts was a sudden
of appendicitis, and
is now in Aston Park hos
pital, getting along nicely
. .. and Francis Hennessee
is employed in Marion ...
so the boys instead of the
girls hold the spotlight in
the news this week.
Among visitors lrma
(Carraway) Mueqke and
Carleton Carraway visit
ing Irene and Bob Short..
Dora and Wesley Roberts,
and Lillian (Banks) Powell
and young daughter ...
John B. Gibbs, 3rd, and his
mother ..Jeanette Byrd
visiting Jean Bennett.
What picture made in
Burnsville was recently
used in the Cosmopolitan
and other national maga
zines? The archery pic
ture, used to head the
“North Carolina Camps”
advertisement released by
the state hospitality com
mittee, was made at the
Girls Camp here ... but the
ads don’t say anything
about Burnsville! (See May
issue if you’re interested).
Congratulations are ex
tended to Jesse Howell
who is winning many hon
ors as 4-H Club member.
He was on program at the
Swannanoa camp, he was
awarded a scholarship to
the short course at State
College as outstanding
member in the county, has
been invited to address the
Rotary Club in Raleigh,
and will take part in the
panel discussion on Lead
ership. We feel sure that
he will bring further honor
to his own club at Clear
mont and to the county.
Legion members don’t
forget the meeting at Ruthl
and Brook Wilson’s home!
on next Tuesday.
