OBITUARIES
I EASTER 1972 IS COME.
' And don’t anybody even think
gone, THE ONE FOR WHOM
WE’VE LONGED IS HERETO
STAY — In our midst. He
may be walking down the road
with you this very moment—
or sitting at supper with you—
or showing up at the beach—
at the lakeside and the hill
side— In upper rooms and
laundry rooms — rumpus
rooms-- sick rooms— lunch
rooms — school rooms—
work rooms — play rooms—
Let’s keep our WELCOME
MATS handy. Any room be
comes a LIVING ROOM.

Before IgetdeeplntoGrover
News, let me say hey to Jenny
Reid. I’m already threatened
with rc^-block, license sus
pension, transfer, and no
showing off my next grand
child. I hope this takes care
of my warning citation.
***
I might as well not get Into
Grover News as to The Easter
Time arrivals and depart
ures. ru never get out. There
Isn’t a column big enough to
Include all the comings and
goings. So, I might hold this
part of Grover News until
the Summer lull. What with
b having some arrivals In our
* own domain. I’ve had less time
to find out from anybody else
who and what Is going on.
I’m sure there are many Eas
ter Time Blossoms — annual
and perennial — that we’d
like to know about, but more
In detail than just saying they
came and went. Even with a
bumper crop of blossoms,
there was a lot of conspicu
ous In absence. Billy Kiser
did not get home as was ant
icipated. Still no word from
Maynard. Vardell got backln
circulation. Hope his Insur
ance covers bashed-up shoul
der bones. Bryte limped
along; but she got there every
night and Easter too to help
sing songs. Thanks. Saw
Marge and Mrs. Crisp and
Liz at the cemetery. Even
by Saturday Noon It was be
ginning to look remembered.
We checked by again after the
snappy storm and there were
even more Indications of gone,
but not forgotten. We hadn’t
been home any time until a
lovely, beautifully arranged
bunch ofNature-scented flow
ers arrived for our pleasure
and I knew once again the
thrill of being here, and not
forgotten. Janet Crlchfleld
^ from South Bay, Florida has
been In Shelby for a week
visiting her sister. Ginger
Rountree. Theyall came over
with the flowers.

It’s back up time
Best wishes to Shirley’s
Bolin’s step-father’s recov
ery from surgery. Shirley’s
been driving over to Moores-
vllle In rain, sleet, and snow
to keep check on him.
Congratulations to Doris
Cook’s Parents on the recov
ery of their TV which was
illegally removed from their
home a few weeks ago.
And very chubby congratul
ations to Betty and Alma Bol
in on being the winners at
the last two weeks’ weigh-
in. As soon as I enlarge my
chances - and chances are
all I want enlarged, I want
in on this weigh-ln. I’d like
to win enough to go to the
Health Farm that Lucl J.
Nugent Is all time going to.
But, if 1 won that much, I
wouldn’t need to go. Looks
like if I lose. 1 win.
Whatever the extreme op
posite of congratulations is,
that’s what goes to Mildred
and Paul, the girls, and Alan.
Pet-wise, their traumas have
been terrific. On the other
hand, Vassar and Vinnle Har
din Imve very happy progress
reports to make on their tour
Siamese kittens
I hadn’t heard about the new
poodle puppies at The Charlie
Harry’s house until Tuesday
night. Wednesday Holly and
I went by to see the one re
maining with them. You’ll
never see a more PRECIOUS
mistake. Scott, keep opening
those doors and keep letting
all that SUNSHINE In. The
spots are there, but there’s
so much more without spot.
Mary’s back and the sun is
out. Lookfor the spade sparks
to fly. Those sparks might
be aimed at Deaconess Me.
Harry. She could be trying to
sow some wild oats in Mary’s
garden. Hoe! Hoe! Hoe!
Bess is back too—And she’s
probably gone again too. It’ll
take a special edition for her
alone.
Fannie bakes again. Decid
edly deliciously!!!
***
The Sunrise Time was just
super splendid. The sun came
up; the moon didn’t want to
go down; people arose to pro
claim HE IS RISEN— cocks
crowed; birds chirped; kids
squeal^ bacon sizzl^ and
The Shiloh Presbyterian Pan
cake House was sweet with
syrup and sentiment. Was
there ever such snappy flap
ping and pokey perl^????
There is no such thing as In
stant coffee unless you like
it cold. To all you affiliates
of theday: LET’S AFFILIATE
LOTS!
***
A select few met Tuesday
Night for Woman’s Club.
We had the best time enjoy
ing one of our own give the
program. Jean Francis who
started out as a student at
Cleveland Tech, and became
more galnly involved, told us
very informatively a lot of the
things about our technical
schools that we didn’t even
know we’d always wanted to
know. We know now that we
have a more practical respect
for these schools — especia
lly Cleveland.
