>ag* 4—MOUNT HOLLT NEWS. Fridar. March 3, 1950 MOUNT HOLLY WOMEN By Miss HoUy Women’s Activities MISS JEAN MARIE TORRENCE, SOCIAL EDITOR IS HONORED Mount Holly has made the Reader’s Digest. The reference to our town in the current issue surprised me so much I read the paragraph again just to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. ^ you haven’t already, read the article about Colonel Elliott White Springs, South Carolina textile magnate and World War I flying ace. He is quoted as reporting facetiously, “Two unaccounted-for spinning frames apparently floated down the river from Mount Holly in the flood of 1916.” * * * Overheard in a hospital corridor: An ambulant two-year- old patient, while watching white-clad internes walk by, turn ed to his mother and asked, “What do those him nurses do?” * , * * The A. U. Stroupes had more exciting experiences than anticipated on their trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. While dining at Antoine’s they were joined at their table by Harold Lloyd, famous movie comedian. They also saw Mar- garM O’Brien and Joseph Cotton. Marcia, whd is only a little older than the young actress, is still amused by the fact that Margaret was dressed in clothing suitable for an eight-year- old. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were guests at the Stroupes’ hotel, so they saw them on several occasions. Doro thy says the press has not exaggerated their charm and grac iousness one bit. * ♦ Barbara Rhyne, who is a patient at a. Charlotte hospital, received cards from Myidred Lipsctmb’s Latin class, of which Barbara is a member, be^uing gratings and soUcitious mes sages in Latin. There’s an old Latin dictionary around here somewhere, Barbara, if you need one for translations. ' * * * With so much concern recently about flu and virus infec tions, the following poem is most timely. I’ve always lauded the author’s poise, charm, and diplomacy, and I now salute her cleverness. Thanks, Ann Rutledge Rollins, and please send us more contributions. Goodness, I’m sleepy! Gee but I’m hot! Gosh how my head aches! Just bother me not — \ “Brother, I’ve got the flu!” Miss Rosemary Fowler, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Riley Fow ler of Mount Holly, and a Junior at Limestone College, Gafhiey, S.
