My week started with a plea
sant visit in the lovely home of
Mr. and Mrs Joe Edmondson in
Blowing Rock Monday morning.
Mrs. Edmondson and Mrs. Fran
Weber were entertaining Circle
8 of W. S. C. S., but Mrs. Ed
mondson was not able to be
present because of a death in
her family. She has our sym
pathy and I hope to go for a
visit one day this week.
Every thing was going along
smoothly until late Tuesday af
ternoon when our building next
to the Democrat office caught
on fire. It is amazing what
thoughts race through the mind
when one's life-line is threat
ened. My first impulse was to
rush in and get the books and
other valuables, but later decid
ed to try to be calm, which I
thought I was doing. Soon the
very able firemen of our town
had the blaze under control,
and several days later I began
to feel normal again. That was
when I discovered I was not
calm at all . . . just stifling my
anxiety. I could write chapters
on the valuable service our fire
men render to our county for
nothing . . . and I am of the
opinion that they should be
paid the highest salary of any
person in public office. For . . .
without them we might not have
a town one of these days. I
really appreciate them and hope
they are properly rewarded in
the near future.
Had a nice surprise Wednes
day. Mildred (Mrs. C. H.) Har
ris of Salisbury came by for a
visit and stayed for dinner. We
thoroughly enjoyed having her
. . . and she says they plan to
open their summer home in
Blowing Rock very soon.
Mrs. Bessie (D. T.) Brown, a
long-time friend, came by the
office Thursday and gave me a
recipe for a 'different' cake.
She hadn't given it a name, but
it is a pretty pink cake . . .
very good indeed and not at all
hard to make. You must try it
while fresh strawberries are in
season.
Pretty Pink Cake
1 package Pillsbury white cake
mix
1 package strawberry Jello
4 eggs
3-4 cup melted margarine
H cup cold water
1 cup strawberries.
Add berries last and mix
well. Bake in 3 layer pans in
350 to 375 degree oven. For ic
ing use 3 cups powdered sugar,
V4 cup fresh strawberries, 1
tablespoon vanille and about
H cup melted margarine or
enough to make icing of proper
spreading consistency. I think
this is exceptionally good and
I hope all of you like it. Thanks,
Miss Bessie!
Virginia Linney left Sunday
for a tour of Europe . . . and
will be gone a month. The Van
Noppens arranged the tour . . .
as they did last year . . . and
several Boone people are on it.

meet her nieee, Beverly Wary,
in Paris. She has been teaching
in Turkey for the past year.
They are such a close family
and I'm sure this will be s hap
py reunion. So glad all of them
could go on such a nice trip!
The summer season opened
with a bang in Blowing Rock
Saturday night when the Rob
binses of Tweetsie Railroad en
tertained the press at a dinner
party at Green Park Hotel. Fred
Kirby of WBTV was surround
ed by children of all ages while
the adults enjoyed a social
hour. Guests from Boone and
near-by towns went over for the
evening only . . . while some of
those who came from a distance
arrived on Friday and were
royally treated by the Robbins
family for the week end. Must
have had between 300 and 390
for dinner Saturday evening.
They are most generous and we
enjoyed their hospital"*!
No more room is iett ... so
will give you all the" news I
know in my next letter.
Love,
Mom
