If Life Begins at 40
Repairs Begin at 30
(Writes Mrs. Carroll Rogers)
As any householder knows, after
thirty years of occupancy a dwell
ing begins to need serious repairs,
and though such repairs “run into
money” he must make them or lose
his home. Now, every Tryonite
has a second home, a, home of the
spirit and intellect, which belongs
to him and is always there supple
menting his daily dwelling, be it
mansion, cottage, or cabin, hotel,
boarding house or- tent, and that
home is the Lamer library. I he
library building is subject to the
ills that wood is heir to, and suf
fers from the passage of time, just
as any other house does—so—re
pair bills mount up! This pest
year has been particularly bad
from that standpoint, or perhaps
we have awakened to accumulating
minor disasters; anyway, due to
frozen pipes, furnace ills, rotted
timbers and the ever-menacing ter
mite, we must now meet a deficit
of about $275.00 over and above
our usual budget for running ex
penses. Friends, this is YOUR
emergency. The library belongs to
every man, woman and child in the
township of Tryon. Without it a
most valuable annex to your home
would be closed. It is as vital to
you that that homelike and neces
sary little building on the corner
overlooking the town should be kept

caving in, or a section in your fur

AND PROFILES
By June Provines
The little town of Tryon, N. C.,
which had 315 inhabitants in 1900
and now has 1,500, has beeji swelled
by such prominent winter residents
as Mrs. Grace Coolidge, the Lefty
Flynn, and Dean David Linn Ed
sall of the Harvard Medical school.
Some former Chicagoans, %Mr. and
Mrs. Charles H. Conrad, who are
in town for a week visiting, ac
count for two of the present popu
lation. They told of Mrs. Cool
idge coming into the drug store
(Mr. Conrad says there are three
clubs in Tryon—the drug store, the
postoffice and the golf club) carry
ing a small package she wanted to
mail.
“I wonder if I have enough
stamps on this,” she said. A gen
tleman standing nearby assured
her that she had.
“But are you sure?” persisted
Mrs. Coolidge. “You may think I
have enough, but hr.ve I reallv?
Are you a competent judge of the
matter?” she added gently.
“Madame, I was the postmaster
during the last two Republican
administrations,” the gentleman
responded. “I was ousted after
Roosevelt was elected.”
“You’ll be back in 1936,” proph
esied Mrs. Coolidge. — Chicago
