Friiiay night. Fred Schnelz was also visiting there. We spent a delightful evening. We never know when to leave when we go to the Byrds. Most of us had been sick recently, and you know what a good time folks can have exchanging accounts of ailments. Renne Whitaker was our guest Thursday evening. I ate a late supper before going to work, and she ate with me, her little teeth grinding corn off the cob like a squirrel. She asked blessing on the food, adding a prayer for my sore elbow. She loves to see me roll a “cowboy cigarette.” 1 think 1 will give her a concert of guitar music sometime. She had a birth day party at the Monte Vista Sat urday afternoon, and she and her mother came on out here to show us some of her presents. Some times she is up when 1 take Min nie out there in the early morning and yells salutations from the window. We went to see the Ezra Atkin 90ns Saturday evening, we found them in very good spirits. We hope to bring these charming peo ple to the next meeting of the Swannanoa Valley Music club. A couple of weeks ago Looking At History stated that 10 years ago an Easter cantata was pre sented by a community chorus un der the direction of Bob Guy. I was in the tenor section at that time, we must have had 60 voices, some of them outstanding. As is usually the case we had a lot of fun at rehearsal, Thad Burnette sneezed once, and Mr. Guy told him it was all right as long as he sneezed in key. John Connet was directing one night, the tenors done a very good job on a certain part, John looked us over, and said, ‘Tenors, you are beautiful.” John Stainer wrote this cantata, it was the most beautiful one I had ever heard—just full of really great music. The tenors had a line, “Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise." I broke out in goose pimples every time I thought of it for weeks. Why can’t Black Mountain do something like that now, has everyone gotton too old. or-do we lack leadership? Our budding young pianist, Vic ky McElrath, played for Sunday school services Sunday morning. Some say that there is death and decay for everything, but things that are truly beautiful never die. We offer condolences to the be reaved White and Riddle families. Homecoming at Friendship church will never be the same without Mrs. White’s savory baked beans and cordial hospitality. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Mills had coffee with us last Tuesday eve ning. • SELL IT — CLASSIFIEDS! • FILLING PRESCRIPTIONS requires accuracy as well as PURE INGREDIENTS.

A Home in Jordan A rambling log hut in the city of Amman, Jordan, is home for fifty young boys ranging from seven to seventeen years of age. The Jordan Orphanage is the only home these youngsters have known in the past eight years, for they are orphans of the Palestine war. In 1951, a group of public spirited Jordanian women or ganized the Jordan Orphanage Society to provide a home where orphan boys of all creeds and sects could prepare for useful, self-reliant lives. Although vo cational education is now lim ited to carpentry because of the society’s limited finances, the boys have participated in indus trial and agricultural exhibitions organized by the Jordan Cham ber of Commerce in Amman. The youngsters earned the praise of officials of the Jordanian gov ernment, UNRWA and Point Pour as well as the many vis itors to the exhibitions The educational curriculum in th- orphanage follows the lines laid down by the Jordanian Ministry of Education, and pu pils who prove capable of ad vanced studies are sent on to high schools to further their education. Members of the Jordan Or phanage Society have organized themselves into several commit tees responsible for provision of food, clothing and the collection of contributions. In addition to members’ dues, funds are re ceived from the Jordanian gov ernment, UNRWA, King Saud of Saudi Arabia and various charitable benefits. The boys themselves help through the in come received from the sale of articles which they have made. Under the sponsorship of Queen Dina, the ladies of the Jordan Orphanage Society have great hopes for their institution’s future. A brand-new building is now nearing completion to re place the present log hut, and in future years society members dream of expanding the home’s facilities into a village project similar to Boys’ Town, in the United States.
