Santa Claus is coming, too, Regardless of the weather, For Christmas is a happy time, To play and sing together. The Home Demonstration Club members throughout the county really got into the spirit of Christmas last week as they started their series of family get-togethers. The Rocky Hock and Beech Fork Club members and their families packed the little audi torium out at the Rocky Hock school last Wednesday night for their joint Christmas party. The pretty Christ mas tree and the other gay decora tions must have been well anchored as the group, adults as well as chil dren joined Jn all the fun and frolic led by Shirley Harrell and Jackie | Bunch. I was taking in two parties that night and was late getting there, but heard they had some lovely mu sic, which I was sorry to miss.

Miss Beulah Evans, who was directing the games, really had a bag full of tricks that night. Following the games everyone enjoyed exchanging gifts and eating their fill of good food. Last Friday night the Enterprise Club members entertained their hus bands with a delicious turkey dinner out at the Triangle Restaurant. Fol lowing the meal Mrs. Scott Harrell directed the group in playing a num ber of lively games which we all en joyed, although we never knew what to expect next. If anyone would care to learn the “Charleston,” I believe Mrs. Lloyd Bunch would be helpful. I heard there was quite a bit of other talent displayed later, which I was sorry to miss. However, I had to move on to another club party. The Center Hill members and their husbands enjoyed a covered dish sup per Friday night at the Center Hill Community House, followed by recre ation, singing Christmas carols and exchanging gifts. Monday night the Chowan ladies .and their families gathered at the Chowan Community Building for sup per and fun together. We were sorry a number of the members were un able to attend because of conflicts with other meetings. We all enjoyed 'the supper, playing “Musical Chairs,” s ,n "■•■•••••'"a | USE OUR | I LAY-AWAY !

The most Important part of all these occasions is Hie enjoyment we got from doing things togehter as a fam ily and the good fellowship with friends and neighbors. THE VALUE OF A SMILE AT CHRISTMAS It costs nothing, but creates much, It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without it and none so poor but are richer for its benefits. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, bor rowed or stolen, for it is some thing that is no earthly good to anybody 'til it is given away! And, if in the last minute rush of Christmas buying, someone should be too rushed to give you a smile —leave one of yours. For nobody needs a smile so much as these who have none left to give.

Acting as hos tesses and assisting in serving re freshments were Mrs. David Holton, Mrs. R. F. Elliott, Mrs. Fred Wood and Mrs. R. N. Hines. During the afternoon Mrs. Charles P. Wales honored Mrs. Fletcher with a delightful toast which she composed herself, in the form of a poem and including the title of each of the au thor's books. Goodbyes were said by Mrs. Wood Privott. i Mrs. Fletcher was honored in Ra leigh last week when she was award ed a Sir Walter Raleigh award for her Tar Heel literature through her series of historical novels dealing with North Carolina and colonial and revolutionary times. Mrs. Clara Booth T"'“* v ' ' ‘ I Byrd used a typical North Carolina i’expression when she presented the • award to Mrs. Fletcher, introducing (her as “Cousin Inglia.” I At the same time'the author wfo also elected president of the State Literary and Historical Association for a one-year-term. She succeeds Dr. Frontis Johnston of Davidson. Mrs. Fletcher, with her husband, John Fletcher, have been living at “Bandon Plantation” since 1944. Fol -1 lowing publication of her first histori cal novel, “Raleigh’s Eden” in 1940, the Fleffchers considered purchasing a 1 home near Edenton but none was • available. While in California in 1944, | a telegram advised them that Bandon property was available. A hurried ,long distance sale was made and af i ter renovations got underway, the couple moved in with only a few | iy>oms ready for occupancy. Since then the Fletchers have made a host of friends here as well as taken an active interest in the affairs of the community. The remaining six novels of Mrs. Fletcher have been written at Bandon, where Mr. Fletcher contributes his ] share by keeping her from being dis turbed while in the midst of her writ ings. Following in sequence after Ra leigh’s Eden, Mrs. Fletcher has had published “Men of Albemarle,” “Lus ty Wind For Carolina,” “The Toil ojf the Brave,” “Roanoke Hundred,” “Bennett’s Welcome,” and the last of the series “Queen’s Gift,” which was published in 1952.
