Gem. J. M. Carson Speaker
At P.T.A. Meeting Mondag
General J. M. Carson was the principal speaker at the
Tryon P. T. A. meeting Monday afternoon. His subject
was “How the First Contingent of A. E. F. Was Sent to
France in 1917” The speaker told of the preparations made, mobilizing
the troops, getting the ships and food ready, and many inside glimpses
of the problems faced during the World War. Following his address
committee reports showed that $116.65 had been collected from the
vanishing teas; the membership now stands at 171; the balance in the
treasury was $242.77. A committee was appointed composed of Mrs.
Nelson Jackson, Mrs. Walter Jones and Mrs. Julian Calhoun to petition
the Town of Tryon to build a cement sidewalk from the highway to the
school building. Mrs. Pratt desires to introduce in the school the World
Friendship League, an organization to promote peace. A pageant is
planned to be given soon at Harmon Field.

is wrapped up in the work, and comes with a lot of experience from the
Hendersonville club. Thos. L. Elder, F. R. N. S. of Great Britain,
will talk about Tryon. He won’t say whether it will be about us as a
people, the weather or as a naval base for the Chinese. Anyway, it will
be a surprise. The Rev. John Brittan Clark, D. D.—What he'll say about
St. Patrick will be Irish through and through.
