THAT’S TELLING
THEM!
Two of three girls who had
grown up together married, and
thereafter they continually
annoyed their spinster friend
with tactless remarks about her
unhappy condition.
She laughed off their com
ments good-naturedly until one
day they went a bit too far.
“Now tell us truthfully,’’they
twitted her, “have you ever
really had a chance to marry?’’
With a withering glance, she
retorted “Suppose you ask your
husbands.”
GIRL SCOUT BETTH DIXON (print dress) hands a cup to Nancy Stacy just as the annual Girl Scout
Banquet gets under way. An amazing feature of the Friday evening event was that it was “girl
planned and organized,” according toone leader,and even the emceeing and program were handl
ed by the girls. Parents were special guests to this signal function of the year. Girls pictured all

planning teas and luncheons for
them, by presenting gifts and
flowers to them, by making bed
coverings for rest homes or
by taking older citizens for

Mrs. Jean M. Hubbard, Ex
tension home economics agent
says “the rewards for these
services were so great the club
members could not put a mone
tary value on them.**

PROPERTY
Many homemakers do not have
the silver and linens they need
•tor special occasions, such as
wedding receptions. Recogniz
ing this need, members of the
McDowell County Extension
Homemakers Clubs decided to
buy these items for loan to
members.
During the past two years,
members have sold flavorir^.
With the profits they bought a
silver service, silver punch
bowl and ladle, silver trays,
candlelabra, punch cups and
salad {dates. Next purchase will
be a linen table cloth.
These items are kept in the
county Extension office and are
top loan to any club member who
needs them, Rachel L. Keisler,
