Ruth Draper, the noted imper
sonator who delighted Tryon last
year with a performance at the
theatre when visiting the Lefty
Flynns, is now a guest of the
James G. K. McClures for a while
in Asheville. She came down to
day for lunch with the Flynns . . .

avenue is being cleared up for a
garden, several thousand square
feet of cleaning up to add to the
Garden club’s clean up program.
Dick Burnett has put out some

keeps such a pretty front and
back yard has gone across the
street to pick up paper someone
carelessly threw away. Carter
Brown has been seen picking up
paper in another part of town
away from his hotel. There are
many considerate, thoughtful peo
ple who take care of their own
trash. If that were done there
would be no need for clean-up
weeks. But there are a few people
who throw paper and trash of all
kinds on the street wherever they
are without regard to civic beau
ty. Coming from the post office
they will throw envelopes and
paper wrappings with their names
on them. The civic minded person
comes along and picks it up and
reads the name and knows that
that fellow is advertising his care
lessness.

Hobby Show
On March 17th
Everything is set for a revival
of the Tryon Hobby Show, which
registered such a success when
first held three years ago under
the sponsorship of the Lanier club.
This year the show is to be held
under the same auspices, on March
17, throughout the day and eve
ning, in the Lanier library.
Tryon is preeminently hobby
horsical, as was so definitely re
vealed by the last show when an •
astonishing number of collections
were exhibited by Tryon residents
and visitors. Virtually every
division of the ancient and honor
able practice of indulging in a
hobby was represented, and there
has been an insistent demand ever
since that the show be revived and,
if at all feasible, it be made an
annual event.
This year the show will be di
rected by Mrs. Edgar C. Rowe, and
everyone who has a hobby—or who,
more elegantly, pampers an avoca
tion—is urged to phone to Mrs.
Rowe for full information, or to
file an application with her as an
entrant of an exhibit.
It is planned to open the show at
10 a. m. In the evening there
will be exhibitions of moving pic
tures taken by Tryon’s amateur
cinematographic enthusiasts. Here
is something that one should be
willing to go a long way to see.
Those sponsoring the show are
hopeful that former exhibitors
will again enter their collections,
and that there will be many new
exhibits. A great many Tryonites
have expressed their regret that
