DEAN W. E. BIRD ADDRESSES
THE COMMUNITY CLUB
Marked by a large attendance and
keen interest was the March meet
ing of the Community Club which was
held on Wednesday afternoon with
Mrs. R. H. Stretcher, Mrs. C. N. Sisk,
Mrs. Frank Bell, and Mrs. Garden

the club rooms on Main street. Mrs.

The rooms were attractively arranged
in bowls of jonquils.
The principal feature of the pro
gram was the talk given by Mr. W. E.
Bird, dean of the Western Carolina
Teacbers College, who addressed the
club on "Ballads." Dean Bind first
followed the history of the baLlad,
giving as the best definition of this
type of song the telling of a tale in
song. He discussed at length the
difference between the English and the
American ballad. The English bal
lad is usually based on a story of the
community given in detail, while the
other may be based on any story. As
illustrating some of the points
I brought out in his talk, Dean Bird
I sang, "Edward," "i.Merrie Golden
; Tree," and Paper of Pins," old Eng
lish ballads.
During the period given over to
business various reports were given.

When We Needed a $5 to $6.50 Shoe
Naturally, we could have chosen from practically any
line of shoes made . . . but over and above our rigid
quality specifications we wanted the shoes most popular
with the men we want to serve. It didn't take us long
to discover the decided preference for Freeman Shoes.
We checked them for authentic styling, for quality from
every angle in leathers and craftsmanship . . . and
honestly believe them to be the most underpriced fine
shoes made . . . Our staff of trained foot fitters are cap
able, and anxious to take care of your footwear needs.
Styles galore ... a2 sizes and widths.
