BY ElOA N. GREENWOOD GRITS ... Mrs. Mary Scott, widow of the former Governor and mother erf Bob Scott, lost two messes of grits on the morning of May 5 this year. It happened this way. Most <rf her friends—beyond 60 like herself—did not sit up late Saturday night to get the lat est returns. Or, at least, did not want to bother Mrs. Scott. But early Sunday morning— as she was preparing break test—the telephone started ringing. Well, you don’t hang up when somebody calls to con gratulate you for your son’s tremendous run for Governor. Anyway, it is doubtful that Mrs. W. Kerr Scott has ever “hung up” on anybody in her life. So, the grits just burned. Cleaned up the pan as best she could, put on another pot of grits. You just don’t eat breakfast in the South without grits. And that plagued tele phone started ringing again. But, between stirring grits and saying thank-you’s, those grits —like Mel Broughton—came in a poor second. And burned again. Only this time the vessel they were cook ing in burned, too, and smoked iq) the kitchen—and that’s about the only bad thing that happened to any of the Scotts the weekend of May 4. PERSONAL . . .

Howard St., who had her family gathered for Mother’s Day and for her birth day on May 24. Friends and neighbors called and calls and messages came from long dis tances saying “Happy Birthday to Mama Hop.’’ A most significant fact was the presence of five generations; namely, Mrs. Hopkins, her dau ghter, Mrs. Katherine H.

Her other children, Bobby, of the U. S. Navy, and wife Ruth, of Charleston, S. C.; Betty and husband Jimmy Hayes who are both teachers in the Charlotte City Schools were members of the group. Johnny, of the U. S. Navy stationed in San Diego, Calif., was unable to be present but sent flow ers. Mrs. Hopkins has been a resident of Boone for 42 years and has been an active mem ber of the Boone Methodist Church, having taken an active interest in the Sunday School and the Woman’s Society of Chris tian Service. She was honored with a life membership in the Woman’s Society several years ago. Mrs. Hopkins received beau tiful and useful gifts on her birthday and says that she is looking forward to the next celebration. Mrs. Hopkins is one of the eight children bom to the late John and Mary Black bum Miller, and she and her brother, Col. Clyde C. Miller, are the only surviving child ren.
