Trial
& Error
I hope that all of you had an
I opportunity to see the Sidewalk
Flower and Art Show In Warsaw
on Sunday, k was really amaz
ing. The weather was beautiful
- a balmy, not too hot, not too
cold, perfect day. The shade of
the beautiful old trees cast
shadows over the work of art,
and God made work and Man
made work blended Into an In
separable atmosphere.
B Is also much fun to me to
go to Warsaw and chat with old
home town folk. In this busy
frorld we only have time to
visit at social functions. It was
good to see Mrs. Walter Brld
gers and Mrs. Mattle Williams.
Mother loved them so dearly,
too. I Just enjoyed all of tt.
Also Mr. Vlrglnlus Williams of
Faison, and several others from
other towns In the county.

Warsaw will be in the lime
light through November 11 - for
the big celebration. I under
stand that this Is the largest
Veterans Day celebration In the
state. Please If any of you
have some outstanding pic
ture of Veterans Day In years
past, call us and see If we can
use them in the paper.

I made my annual "over
night" visit to Meredith College
last Friday night and it was
real-l-y fun. I know they have
a group of wonderful girls on
Far cloth, third floor. However, a
, I did not see as many as usual -
1 asked the girls Why they were
sj quiet and If thijy became ,
? that much 'more dignified when
they wore sophomores. The
floor was "ghostly" quiet. They
laughed and said that tribst
of the girls were away for the
wow end.
Margaret, her roommate, her
suite-mate s and I celebrated
Margbrct's birthday with sup
per at Ballentlnes and then on to
the fair. I estimated about ten
thousand on the Midway,
thinking that sounded like a
large number, and lmowlng that
I was on the verge of smother
[ Ing. The next morning the paper
stated 240,000 at the Fair on
Friday, and I wasn't surprised.
By time we reached the ex
hibit building It was time to
go back to Meredith, so I will
nave to say my' '67 Impression
of the fair was CROWDS.
