Fashion was the theme of

Glady Branch Extension
Homemakers Club. Miss Jean
Ch'lrfero presented the pro
gram on a Fashion Preview
for Spring and Summer. She
dj'cusred popular colors for
pprlng as well as types of
fabrics that will be seen. Pic
tures of some of the latest
stales were shown such as:

Mathatasian
Club Meets
The Mathatasian Book Club
was entertained April 22nd
by Mrs. J. B. Jones at her
home on Country Club Road.
Mrs. Jack Trantham gave a
most interesting program on
Stonewall Jackson, including
many seldom-told facts.
Jackson, who was un
doubtedly the greatest of
Robert E. Lee’s generals,
possessed a deep religious na
ture and a fiercely aggressive
fighting spirit.
He went to West Point in
in 1842 as a gangling coun
try boy, but he stayed, rising
from 51st place to 17th at
graduation. It was there that
he wrote many maxims on
how to live.
Most unusual was the fact
that his wife’s sister attended
them on their honeymoon,
later writing a book on the
subject.
At Bull Run he won the
famous Stonewall title.
His men made up fables
about him. In the Bible story,
they said, MoSes took 40 years
bringing the Israelites
through the wilderness. Old
Jack would have taken them
through on half rations in
three days.
His untimely death at the
age of 39 cut him down at the
height of an increasingly suc
cessful career. Written of him
are these lines:
In all the days of future
years
His name and fame shall
shine,
The stubborn iron captain
Of our old Virginia line.
A delicious dessert course
was served by the hostess.
The next meeting was an
nounced to be on May 13th,
with Mrs. A1 Watson. Mrs.
Charles Cook will be program
leader.
