Lille But Ended
ithodist Conference
But Thursday we had a terrific
rain in Laleigh. I called up the
PCA people and they said that
their planes were flying, but they
weren't sure whether the planes
would land in Asheville.
I went out to the airport. There
was only about a 500-ft. ceiling,
but the plane from Norfolk arrived
safely and on time. We were de
layed a little while, checking
weather reports, but at 4 o'clock
we took off. It was raining pretty
hard, and most of the time, while
flying to Greensboro, we couldn't
see me ground.
When we landed at the Grccns-boro-High
Point airport, a gentle
man got aboard and said: "Pas
sengers for Asheville, please!"
I told him I was going to Ashe
ville. "I'm just as sorry as I can be,"
he said, "but the weather is mighty
bad in the mountains, and we won't
be able to stop at Asheville on this
trip."
"But I'm making a talk at
Wavnesville at 7 o'clock." I ex
plained.
"You might take a bus from
here," he suggested politely.
"But the meeting starts at 7
o'clock tonight."
He shook his head sadly.
"There's just nothing we can do
about it," he explained.
"It's the Rotary Club," I con
tinued. But that didn't make any im
pression at all. He probably was
a Kiwanian, or something.
So I had to get off the plane,
took a cab into Greensboro, regis
tered at the O. Henry Hotel and
prepared to spend the night.
By that time it was close (o
6 o'clock. I decided I'd bettor call
up my wife and tell her what had
happened.
"What arc you going to do now?"
she inquired, after I had finished
explaining.
"I'm going out and cither get
me a nice big steak or a lobster,"
1 told her.
A few minutes later I was in the
lobby and ran into Dr. Will Lam
beth, presiding elder of that par
ticular Methodist district. He's a
friend of many years' standing.
"What are you doing in Greens
boro?" he wanted to know.
I went through the second ex
planation. "How about going to Gibsonville
with me?" was his next query.
"What for?"

W.H.Pless Estate
Sold For $14,390
At Auction Sale
A little less than 100 acres of
the W. 11. 1'less estate brought
$14,300 at an auction sale held
Wcdnscday afternoon on the prop

The property was divided into
several tracts.
Among (hose buying were Lenoir

been called for this evening at
7:30."
"All right: I'll go."
Inside of ten minutes, I had a
chicken sandwich in my hands and
was eating it while Dr. Lambeth
drove eastward in the direction
of Gibsonville. Dreams of steak
and lobster had vanished.
There were about 20 people
present at the conference. Dr.
Lambeth prayed for the welfare
of the church and its members,
and then he threw in a few words
in my behalf, which were greatly
appreciated, so far as I was con
cerned. New Church Assured
Then the business part of the
meeting started, and the discussion
lasted about an hour. All of the
problems were ironed out satis
factorily, and, in case you're inter
ested, I might tell you that it was
decided to build a new church not
to cost more than $50,000. It'll be1
on the property that has been used
in the past by the Northern
Methodists.
Shortly after 10 o'clock I was
back in my room in the O. Henry
Hotel. I thought it might be nice
to tell my wife where I'd been, so
I called her up.
"Guess where I've been?"
"Where'.'"
"At a called conference of the
Methodist Church at Gibsonville,"
I proudly informed her.
There was a moment's .silence.
And then: "Have you been drink
ing?" .she inquired.
I told her positively that I had
not, but I don't think she believed
mc until 1 had given all the de
tails upon my return home by
plane the following morning.

Snap Shots Of The
HUMAN SIDE OF LIFE

FRANCES GILBERT FRAZIER
She was one of these "plus" wom
en a little too much of everything.
The tint of rouge was just a bit
too heavy; the costume jewelry a
mite too conspicuous; the over
coiffed head and the over-upholstered
torso with its stylish-stout
contour, were too . . too . . if you
understand what we mean. And
her bearing had that added "over",
also.
The lobby of the hotel was com
fortably filled with the usual after
dinner conversationalists who lin
ger around just in case anything
unusual should happen. It had been
a particularly busy evening and all
rooms, with the exception of one
on the third floor, had been taken.
Mrs. Plus, surrounded by numer
ous dressing cases, hat boxes,
etcetera and, of all things, a shaggy
small dog on a leash, resented
quite loudly the fact that the only
available room was on the third
floor.
She expressed her displeasure so
that all might hear. "It's outrag
eous that better accommodations
are not available. I never heard
of such mismanagement. The very
idea of making my little dog climb
two flights of stairs." CURTAIN!
He was, probably, in the late
seventies and didn't seem to care
a hoot. The sun was warm and
he was comfortably settled on one
of the green benches. He had an
audience of three or four and he
was discoursing as we approached.
"She thinks I'm mad at her," he
was confiding to his cronies," and
I'm going to let her keep on think
ing it. You just have to bless a
woman out every so often to keep
her in her place. I'll bawl her out
for a couple of days and then

Secretary Library Commission
Meets With County Library Board
Miss Marjorie Beal, director and
secretary of the North Carolina
Library Commission met with the
members of the Haywood Coun
ty Board here at their regular
meeting on Thursday, with Col. J.
Harden Howell, chairman, presid
ing. Other members of the board
include: Mrs. H. G. Helder, of Can
ton, Mrs. Troy Leatherwood, of
Jonathan Creek, Mrs. T Lenoir
Gwyn, Glenn C. Palmer and
George A. Brown, Jr.
Miss Beal discussed the state aid
program and what it has meant to
North Carolina and how it has
enabled many of the counties to
have libraries with a counly-wide
service as it has Haywood. The
Federal bill, "Public Library Serv
ice Demonstration Bill" (Hr. 5742,
S. 19201 was discussed and the
suggestion made that the clubs of
the county and the friends of the
library service write or wire the
Congressman from this state and
also Graham A. Barden, chairman
of the House Committee on educa
tion, one of the state representa
tives their interest in the proposed
legislation.
Miss Johnston explained some of
the activities of the county system
to be inaugurated in the near fu
ture. She spoke of the plans under
way to give hospital service and
told of the gift of the Haywood
County Nurses club of a hospital
truck to convey the books on the
halls to the various rooms.
The vacation reading club was
outlined, and this year will be
known as "The Cherokee Indian
Heading club," and will be open to
all the boys and girls in the county
schools to be conducted from June
1st to August 30th. Miss Johnston
told of the interest in the club and
of the number of inquiries being
received from the children who
wished to join.
In her monthly report Miss John
ston brought out the fact that in
the past ten months over 30,000
books have been circulated to the
people of the county, which docs
not include the circulation in the
Canton area. She pointed out the
largo number of service men who
have been discharged, who arc now
regularly using the library.
She also told of the special ex
hibits which had been on display
in the library. Among them was
a music exhibit in cooperation with

would never know how he was
going to recompense "the little
woman" for the days he had been
"mad" at her.
The heat of political fires some
times cadres its force much fur
ther than the hot beds of political
rallies. And so it was with old
Uncle Zenox Tomkins who lived
In the tiny cross roads of Tomkins
ville. The town consisted of Uncle
Zen's grocery store one corner of
which was devoted to a dozen mail
boxes and was lovingly referred
to as "The Post Offis." Many years
ago, Tomkinsville had been a thriv
ing logging section and when the
supply of trees gave out, the Gov
ernment just forgot to remove the
post office. Besides the grocery
store, against which Uncle Zen's
house snuggled cozily, there were
a dozen more scattered homes . . .
and then a great many wide spaces
in the road until the larger cities
were reached.
Every Saturday, Uncle Zen went
down to the county seat and did
his "laying in" of stock. That didn't
take long and from then on until
dark, Uncle Zen enjoyed life in
the city. That is, he did until
election time rolled around. Then
Uncle Zen got imbued with (ho
spirit of the times and decided,
that as long as nearly everybody
else was in the game, he'd run for
some office.
He announced his intentions one
Saturday when, imbued with spirits
not exactly political, he returned
home. A neighbor asked Uncle
Zen what his platform was going
to be. That was a poser and Uncle
Zen hesitated a moment, then re
plied: "Platform, heck. I ain't got no
platform. What the other feller's
fur, I'm agin."
the Music club during National
Music week, which was displayed
at the meeting of the club and
later was placed in the window of
the REA office.
Attention was also called to the
opening of the fireplace in the
library, this feature being included
in all new plans for libraries. Miss
Johnston pointed out the need for
a couple of oasy chairs for those
wishing to stop for reading in the
library.
Miss Beal congratulated the
board and the librarian on the
progress made by the county
library after hearing the report of
the activities.
Easy Washing
We know now that rubbing
clothes on a board wears out both

does a better job for extra-soiled
