JEAN'S PERSONAL COLUMN
Dear Jane And Rachel:
By JEAN L. RIVERS
I hope both of you had a
chant* to m "A Look at Mon
aco" on television a week ago
Sunday night. The story of that 1
500 year-old principality was '
beautifully told by Philadel
phia's Grace Kelley, who mar
ried Prints Baniar several i
years ago. Though the entire
country is very smal, only 350
square miles, it has just about
everything other European na
tions have except taxes. Only
the rich and near-rich live
there and I presume the tax
situation has a lot to do with
their sound financial condition.
Anyway, the whole thing sound
ed like a fairy story, and I am |
delighted one of our girls can |
share it.
Recently it was my pleasure I
to see the handsome new book. |
"The Face of North Carolina"
by Bruce Roberts. Eloise Mel
ton told me she had seen a pic
ture of this section of Boone in
the hook and that it was in the
college library. As soon as I
had the opportunity I called
Leonard Eury and he brought
the book by the office that af
ternoon. We were delighted to
see that the picture was of
your dady's old home, the first
Watauga Democrat building,
the pretty little Methodist
church, W. R. Lovill's law of
fice, Ed Coffey's law office and
several other buildines in west
Boone at that time. The photo
grapher must have stood about
where our dining room now is
to make the picture. It was
most interesting and we cer
t a i n 1 y appreciate Leonard's
bringing the book for us to en
joy.
I had a wonderful time last
Monday afternoon when I re
turned the book and Leonard
took me on a tour of the li
brary. It is a fabulous place!
They have just about every
thing except enough space. I
was most interested to see part f
of a 1929 copy of the Watauga
Democrat on microfilm, which i
Zeb Shook brought into the J
viewing room ... (I guess
that is what they call it). The
changes that hav? been made
since 1929 are almost unbeliev
able Many of the businesses are
no longer here and the cars
and fashions have changed
drastically. Getting back to the
microfilming . . . they have all ,
of the issues of the Democrat

since 1928 arid will ia the near
future have every issue since
the payer was established in
1888. This it the most complete
history of Watauga County that
I know of.
I was also pleased to find
that they have most of our
state's daily papers on micro
film, as well as endless bound
volumes of some of the most
outstanding magaiines. I'm
more than ashamed to admit
that this was my first visit to
the library since 1028. I have
missed a lot and I want to go
back soon.
On my way home I stopped
for a short viait with Bill and
Ethel Norris at Appalachian
Soda Shop and with Ruhy Wes
ton, who recently moved her
studio into her new building on
Appalachian street. It was a
goad day!
I didn't get to go to Charlotte
last Tuesday night for the
board meeting of the Blowing
Rock Horse Show Association
because of a six inch snow. I
was very disappointed . . . since
the members were invited to
be dinner guests of David
Johnson at the Charlotte City
Club. I miss so many nice af
fairs because of the weather.
Because I am back at the of
fice while your daddy is ill with
the flu, I won't be able to tell
you about the visit with the
Dr. Rankins. Must run now!

Mom
