Jack Blackwell, the General
Electric dealer, has just received
what is probably the first electric
heated blanket for sale in Tryon.
. . . The weather on Wednesday
was 66 high and 24 low; for
Thursday 58 high and 28 lew. It’s
funny how Tryon weather acts.
It always feels warmer than the
thermometer shows Yesterday in
the middle of the day it was so
warm and pretty—almost a sunny
sumer day . . . Julian Hester went
to bat for Trvon recently when
the Esquire Magazine had an
editorial on wines and shewed a
map of wine sections of the na

Tryon was not mentioned.

COMMUNICATIONS
Dear Mi*. Vining:
I read in the Bulletin the com
munication calling attention to
the trash pile accumulating on
the bank of the river by the
Hcwes-Connor bridge, along War
rior Drive.
Before calling it to the atten
tion of the town authorities this
committee hopes the persons re
sponsible for the pile will take
seme other way for disposal of
their refuse.
This way is not only unsightly
but unsanitary as breeding places
for flies and mosquitoes. It needs
the cooperation of everyone to
carry out the clean-up program
which lasts all the year to keep
Tryon clean and beautiful.

Chairman Civic and Roadside Com
mittee, Tryon Garden Club.
