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.
