Poid at Uwphy Hayesville Post Office To Be Dedicated Feb. 28 HAYES VILLE - Hayes - ville's new post office will be dedicated at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 28. Post master W. Q. Moore announ ced today. The new facility, located at Hayes ville, is part of the Post Office Department's lease construction program, the local postmaster explain ed. Under this program , invest ment financing is used to ob tain needed facilities which remain under private owner ship, pay local taxes to this community, and are leased to the Federal Government. At the same time, the need for large outlays of money from the Federal Treasury for construction purposes is eliminated. Like most of the new postal buildings that are going up across the country, this post office is leased to the Post Office Department. This gives the Department some flexi bility in adapting its building program to changes in mail volume, transportation and population, Postmaster Moore said. The Department is now con centrating on constructing new postal units only where they are most urgently needed. In areas where it is practical to do so, existing buildings are undergoing renovation.

She said her grandfather, Frank Curtis, who operated a fruit stand in Hayesville for many years, bought two of the old fash ioned kerosene lamps when they were popular light fix tures in churches at that time and put them in the (old) New Hope Baptist Church in the Carter Cove. In my mind, I could see the little scalloped metal con tainer that held the lamp with a wall refelctor that was screwed to the walls. When the New Hope Church was built electric lights were put in and these little old lamps were discarded, but stored at the church. Recently, her daughter, Mrs. James Thomas, the for mer Miss Joan Wyke, wrote her mother and asked her to find some of those old lamps if possible. Mrs. Wyke bought them from the church and now they adorn a beautiful living room in her daught ers new home that is furn ished in Early American furn iture. They also have a very speical meaning to Mrs. Tho mas since they were origin ally purchased by her great grandfather Curtis of Clay County. Being a grandmother for 18 months, I, like a lot of grandmothers, have to watch myself to keep from brag ging too much about the little one. I find I have a lot in com mon with these new grand mothers tho. Talked to Mrs. Hub Dan ielson, Monday, and she said she was telling Mrs. Ralp Penland all about their grandson and how he smiled even if he was sick and on, and on about the many wonders of her grandchild. She said Mrs. Penland lis tened with aU the patience in the world and when she finished Mrs. Penland said, "You know, Eva, we have two just Uke that." I could just imagine the big laugh they had. Well, Eva said that pretty wellbrokeher from monopolizing future con versations about her little grandson. ?????????? Mrs. Bill Standridge is a never ending source of amuse ment to me. It is not always what "Miss Bill" says but the way she says it. Last week we went on a break to the drug store. Joyce Vaught suggested that Mrs. Standridge try a glass of V-8 juice over ice. That didn't appeal to her at all. She ordered a cup of coffee and spooned in about three helpings of sugar, added some chocolate filled cookies to her order. As she perched on a stool at the counter she was a picture erf contentment. Since we both border the "Two Ten Tessie" stage, I remarked that Miss Bill didn't have to worry about gaining a few pounds. She squinted those brown eyes and started chuckling and said, "Why no, I have nothing to worry about, I can just watch anybody eat a good sized meal and gain a pound." Mrs. Standridge has been helping out with the music at our church for the past few weeks. In our Sunday School lesson the discussion was whether or not we have the right to judge others and to crlticixe, when we may be equally as guilty of things as bad or worse. She came through with a dilly when she realted the story that actu ally happened in a South Geor gia church in her grandmoth ers day. She said at that time, Sat urday and Sunday meetings were held ooce each month at the Rock Branch Church and once each quarter the big business was transacted on Saturday. If someone was caught doing something wrong they were churched* . Other words, if found guilty_they -cc Mr. and Mrs. Charles Woodard of Cleveland, Ge., and Mr. and Mrs. Narvel Davenport of South Carolina visited Mr. and Mrs. Everett Kitchens, Sunday. -cc Mrs. Arthur Penland has been a patient in Providence Hospital for a few weeks.

The moderator rose to his feet and said let's turn him out of the church. The preacher held up his hand and said, "Now let brother Rans speak for him self and sav if he is guilty or innocent. Brother Rans then rose to his feet and said, "Preacher, it's no use, there sets Bro ther Stevens, I've sold liquor to him, and there is Deacon Dunn, I've sold it to him, and some of the others here. There ain't no use me deny ing it, they all know I'm guilty. She said that ended the meeting and Brother Rans re mained a member of the church. Clay CouHty Personal Mention - Mr*.
