I persons pass—t. Mrs Beri* McCiamrock brought an in. erasting a M very comforting devotional after reading the 46th Psalm, file commented I especially on Verse 1, stat ing we always had an ancho. m Christ when the storms of life come. She read an ap propriate poem and lovely pra yer, then closed with a prayer for special guidance during the new year. Mrs. Alice Hoyle of the Civic Club, brought us a most informative discussion of the "rossnore School, telling of the two Doctor Sloops, who established it. She read ex cerpts from their book, show, ed brochures, and lovely sam ples of weaving and pictures. Calling on Mr. J. F. Jarvis, whose son, Glenn, is an out standing teacher in the school, he gave several illustrations of boys from broken homes who were sent there by wel fare departments as problem cases, who had made good and were now outstanding ci tizens. The program was so enjoyable, that the possibility of our next trip to the moun tains just could be to Cross, nore. Mrs. McC lam rock, of Faith, brought three of her friends and neighbors to visit with us. They were: Mrs. Pearle Mich ael, Mrs. Mollie Gartner, and Mrs. Banks Peeler. The latter is a sister of our Margaret Hoyle. New members were Mrs. Rome Shoaf, James Zachary and Tom Zachary of Salis bury. It was homecoming to the Zachary brothers, who grew up in Cooleemee and the house where our meet ings are held was byilt for their family. Their father was general manager of Erwin- Mills for a long time. It was reported that Get- Well cards had been sent to Mrs. Beulah Spry, Mrs. Ada Penninger, and Mr. George Miller. Mrs. George Miller, our chaplain was physically indis posed and could not be pres ent. Mrs. Lewis Kadares was to enter Baptist Hospital and Mrs. Ida Massey, was unable to attend. A sympathy card was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Joe McCra ry. Mrs. McCrary lost her mo ther, Mrs. Daisy Barnes The club accepted an invi tation from the Jaycees to compete in a baseball game in the near future. The one last year proved such a suc cess that our winning ath letes favored another. Mr. Chuck, Biedler, our new Rec reation Director, was present and made a brief talk. Tom Zachary recited a poem about the months of the year he learned while in Miss Rosa Tatum's room at school. Quite a few others present also ■ COMMENTS by Mary Alice Hasty The Cooleemee Shopping Center is a complex of stores that would be a credit to any city. We are naturally quite proud that it has developed and prospered right here. But like all things material, its utility hinges on the character of the humans who use it. Therefore, the shopping center is cosmopolitan in appear ance only. The continuous flow of small-town badinage from store to store is like nowhere elese. Everyone likes to go there. If you stand in the same place long enough you will see people you haven't seen in years. On the other hand, no matter how many hurried trips you might make in the course of several days, there are certain individuals you will invariably see. They are always there; they are all men, and they are all talking. Where are the women? One of two places: either at work ar at home cooking meals to satisfy appetites that have been worked up by talking all day. "I'm going to hang around the shopping center for awhile." Sound familiar? It has a casual ring to it, sort of an unplanned happening. Don't be fooled. There is an established heirachy among those men. Our senior citisens, those grand old men basking in re tirement, whose skill at spinning yarns knows no peer, are firmly entrenched in the hardware stare. There have been whlspeniJ rumors of a Liar's Club existing on the premise*. Their younger counterparts will be found in the drug store . . . drug store cowboys, I believe they're called. They are a loosely knit group of men with various occupations who seem to be strangely addicted to the grouping of bar stools around a soda fountain. At any given moment you can find a minister, the doctor, several men waiting for shifts to change, a few local merchants, and an insurance man or two. An observer of this phenomenon can only surmise that these younger men are serving their apprenticeship toward the day of their retirement when thejr will hopefully be quali fied to hold their own down at the "hardware."! *•• • * The first-grader entered the drug store and took his place among the cowboys at the soda fountain. "Hey there boy!" boomed ttayden Benson. "Why aren't yea in school?" Came the innocent reply, "Mommy thinks I have the mumps." In stunned silence seven pairs of eyes stared at the swollen little face In their midst. Sherm Shoaf was the first to regain his composure, and speaking gently to hide his alarm said, "Say, son, why don't you just run on down to the hardware?" As they left the drug store the boy asked his mother: "Why are all the men laughing so loud?" Ask your daddy, son, ask your daddy. learned it. but were amazed that Tom could sail through without a 'single mistake. After being absent at the last meeting, we were glad to see Mrs. Ida Foster, along with her cheerful flower ar rangement. Delicious home baked pound cakes and coffee were served after the singing of Happy Birthday to all members born in January. There were quite a few present, including our beloved oldest member, 93 year old Mrs. Lula Beck. (CFN) —The first cat Jfiqws, were held in Maine as early as 1870.
