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.

'Rambling Jh Clan'
By: Mrs. Neal R. Kitchens
Was talking to Mrs. Edna
Wyke. Monday. 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

were turned out of the church.
At this particular meet
ing, Brother Rans was accused
of bootlegging. 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

She said that ended the
meeting and Brother Rans re
mained a member of the
church.
