TEEN-AGE
TATTLER
By Winifred Harriss
A pungent aroma of baking ap
ple pies warmed the noses of eight
young people as they turned into
the road on Greenville Sound lead
ing to Higgs. Couple by couple the
people gathered at that house Sat
urday night for some mighty fine
cooking as another great supper
was served.
A tastily flavored meat sauce
oozed through the long milky
strings of piping hot spaghetti
which filled the multi-colored chi
na plates, and each cover boasted
a frosted glass of iced tea. Ten
places filled the table, and each
person sat down to enjjy the sup
per as the cooks for the evening
came into the room.
As usual we reached Higg s just
a tiny bit too late to help with
the preparations; so after the ap
ple pie, which had been topped
with a huge scoop of vanilla ice
cream, was only a pleasant mem
ory, I found myself wrist-deep in
soapsuds in the kitchen. Although
I don’t intend to invite any such
activity the work with tha hot
water, soapsuds, and dishtowels
was certainly joyously accom
plished after such a pleasant past
time as devouring that meal at
Higgs—cornbread included.
NEW NEIGHBORS
Besides Smokey Warner (to
whom the tasty apple pief-making
is attributed) and Robert Furr,
Tommy Hall had hustled down
that way with Kay Anderson.
Incidentally, most of us have
met Kay, the petite brunette from
Raleigh, and we have found her
quite enjoyable company even If
she can support a firm stand on
the old topiq of the ages and many
Tarheels— Carolina and Duke—on
the side of the latter. UNC against
the Blue Devils. . .the battle of
battles.
Kay moved to Wilmington with
her family around the first of
July; and before living in Raleigh,
the Andersons resided in Wilson.
As they are making their home
here for some time, Kay will at
tend NHHS this year where she
will be a senior. Isabelle, the old
er sister, spent the past year as
a student at Woman’s college In
Greensboro, and she plans to re
main in the city this year. Inci
dentally, Izzie was one of the love
ly aspirants for the beauty title
of ‘ Miss Wilmington 1947” in the
local contest held during the early
part of July.
UNFORGETTABLE SUPPER
Kay has frequented the many
favorite spots around Wilmington,
and she seems to be enjoying her
new location. Sho’ are glad to
have the Andersons here!
Bietsy Barnett of Fayetteville,
who was visiting Kay Anderson
for a week, was down at Higgs
Saturday night for the supper with
a friend, Don Skwart, who hails
from the West coast. Don came
to Wilmington over the week end
on leave from Fort Bragg where
he is stationed as a paratrooper.
Both Betsy and Don returned to
Fayetteville on Sunday.
After the last of the final stack
of records on Higg’s phonograph
had plopped down and when Higg
had reminisced through the last of
his fascinating tales of “times
when” for the evening, the last
of the visitors headed homeward,
remembering some mighty fine
spaghetti, the generous slice of
unsurpassed apple pie, and a
stack of dishes which could’ve'
reached the ceiling a couple of!
times! |
SOUTH OF THE BORDER I
Always on the move -- so it
seems to be with some of us.
Local teens ers have traveled re
cently to New York, Canada,
Florida, Colorado and even as;
far as Germany. And as of last!
Saturday we have lost another
though a little more permanently;
this time to Argentina.
Dixie Andrews left this past Sat
urday with her mother and young
er sister for New York City, from
where they sailed for Argentina
on Monday. They expect to ar
rive in that part of South Ameri
ca about two weeks from the sail
ing date.
In Buenos Aires they will join
Dixie’s father, who is a naval at
tache at the American Embassy.
The Andrews, at present, intend to
make their home in Argentina for
about two years.
Early in the summer Dixie’s
father left for South America and
his family came to Greenville
Sound to spend the majority of
the summer with Dixie s grand
father after living in Newport
Rhode Island, for a year.
MORE TRAVELERS
The rains came — muchly so—
Monday afternoon and through
them, braving the pelting drops on
the highway, came Robert Mc
Oarl. So the final report of the
final reports is: found—one char
acter on Wrightsville Sound, wear
ing a hometown-happy expression
and a glad-to-be-back twinkle in
each eye; a glad lad in general.
Robert journeyed to Denver
with his sister and brother-in-law
right after the close of school
early in June, and he rounded up
a nine weeks’ trip when he
stopped in the western North Car
olina mountains for a three weeks’
visit with relatives in Lenoir.
When the large bus rolled into
the station here Tuesday early in
the afternoon, one of our past Wil
mingtonians stepped off. Jean
Caldwell arrived from Chapel Hill
for a 'visit with her relatives, the
J. Max Greggs, who are making
their summer home on Wrights
villc .Beach.
Jean moved to Chapel Hill last
year where she has made her
home; and we are glad to know
that she has returned for a short
stay here.
The postman stepped on the
front porch and left an assortment
of mail for the morning. A Mon
treat address caught my eye, and
I recognized Martha Holton’s
handwriting. Martha left the last
of June for Camp Mount Mitchell
for a stay of two months. The
gang up there sounds grand from
her reports; and she seems to J>e
having one wonderful time!
Martha will return to the city
sometime around August 22, when
she will be another of those rush
ing around in the midst of college
preparations. She plans to enter
W. C. in the fall where she in
tends to major in home eco
nomics.
In all seasons of the year Flori
da appeals to the wanderers; but
after vacations are over, travel
weary persons turn toward home
—the best place of all. So it is
with a couple of the local charac
ters. Jimmy Mills and Ray
Spencer left Sunday a week ago
for Lakeland, Florida, where ihey
have been visiting Ray’s relatives
for ten days. They plan to return
to Wilmington sometime this
week.
Also returning to the ole’ home
town one of the days of this week
is Sarah Frances Gray who has
been visiting in Charlotte for the
past week; Frances left the city
last Wednesday for the visit in
that city.
As this ’bout winds up the news
for right now, I'll punch the ex
clamation point on the typewriter
to follow the usual. . .I’ll be see
ing you around.
