Schultz of Post 6812, the Veterans of Foreign Wars. "Operation Boost" is a nat ionwide project sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars as a counter-measure to dem onstrations against America's participation in the Viet anmese war. Citizens are being asked to take part in patriotic demonstrations such as Veterans Day parades and public meetings. The V.F.W. has also suggested that each individual stop whatever he is doing at 11:00 a.m. and offer a silent prayer for American soldiers now fighting in Viet Nam. Commander-in-chief Andy Borg who is now touring the Southeast Asia battle ground said it is vitally important for Americans everywhere to make it clear that demonstr ators against the nation's Vie tman policy represent only a small minority of our pop ulation. ?? A mass show of support such as 'deration Boost' is necessary for two reasons," he said. "First, the Com munist enemy has come to believe that they can win their victory over the freedom-lov ing people of Vietnam becuase the American people no longer support their own government. Second, while our soldiers are still performing their military duties magnificently, they are becoming disgusted1 and em bittered at the failure of some American citizens to support them in their fight for free dom."

Will be a mighty good chance to run into old buddies. ????????? Was talking to a bride to be recently and she had been practicing some cooking. Said she fried some chicken and it turned out real well. She then attempted to make gravy. Not using any measurments she said the gravy was too thick to stir and when she added enough milk to make it the right consistency, she had enough to feed a whole reg iment. Seems that gravy is a universal dish. I heard one Clay County mother say since bacon had gone so high she had gone back to using good old mother oats and gravy for breakfast. Heard one of the court house employees (with a package of meat under his arm) say he was taking some thing home to flavor the gravy at his house. Well then I heard another man say "It takes a thousand gallons of gravy to produce one drop of blood and he had eaten so much gravy he had high blood pressure." Oh, well, just name gravy and you will get some interesting comments. When I look at the school buses picking up the children at the door and transporting them to the school house and then read the delicious, vitamin packed menus in the paper I just wonder if the children of today have the faintest idea of how fortunate they are. In my day of school ing the children in my family were more fortunate than many since we lived close en ough to school to walk in just a few minutes and to run home for a hot lunch. Rainy nights meant company at our house. Friends and cousins who had to walk 2 to 4 miles stayed with those who lived close to the school. A lunch room was unheard of. Children carried their lunches in buckets or it was wrapped in the daily news - paper (when one could be begged) from the few people who took the paper. The child ren then would have felt real lucky to have had even grav eled roads to walk on. They plodded through the mud, snow and Ice. I paticularly re member four Garrett boys from Bell Creek Ga., that came to Elf School. They wal ked close to four miles every day in all kinds of weather. I know Keiffer, Unseld and Kress went on to college and never found out If Nobel did or not. If these men told their students about this now, they would probably think it was a fabricated story. Things have come a long way and with the road bond passing our model of travel will Improve with every passing year. ????????? Now that It's time to do fall cleaning some one might like to use a method I used this past spring in renewing some old lamps. I had two that looked old and ugly yet they were in perfect working con dition. I went to the 5 & 10 Store and bought a new shade for one of them. It cost $2.89. It was an off shade of white with a tiny edge of gold trim around the bottom. I took a news paper and cut somedes igns out, fastened it over the shade and used gold spray, being careful not to smear the design when I lifted the paper. I then sprayed the old lamp stand gold to match and it came out looking like a new lamp. The other lamp shade was good and was made of a heavy slick carcfcoard. It was dirty and faded looking. 1 got Mr. and Mrs. Paul Vaught, Jr. and daughter, Teresa, spent die week-end lnRobbln sville with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Icenhower. -cc Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Brown of Warne, were the Sunday dinner guest of their daugh ter, Mrs. George Lee, and family. -CC Mr. and Mrs. Walter Led ford of Atlanta, are spending this week with their parents. Dr. and Mrs. L. R. Staton and Mr. and Mrs. Ronal Ledford. some white fix all paim and after painting the shade I then used the same method of spr aying the design on the shade as I had on the other one. Well I came out with two lamps at a cost of about $3.75 that would have ended in the junk heap. I heard one of Lldseen's em ployees say they really hated to see Mr. H. A. Gillstrom retire that he was just the nicest person and would be missed. For this employees information I talked to Mrs. Gillstrom and he has not act ually retired according to her. Said she had never worked as hard in her life as she was to try to keep him working. Oh well, he may be off the pay roll, but just thought this em ployee might like to keep track of him. Clay gets some mighty nice people and this couple would certainly be included in the group. Did you know that you can dial Andrews direct by first using 641 and then the last 4 numbers listed in the And rews Directory???? No more long distance charge for call ing over that way. I heard about it and just to satisfy my curiosity I tried it - it works. Well, folks, I have rambled around a lot over Clay County in the past 7 years that I have gathered news for the Clay edition. This will be my last edition and I have enjoyed it. Many times it has not been easy to get news and there have been times that all the news that was sent to the Scout Office was not printed due to limited space, but all in all I hope that some where along the way I have made someones day a little brighter. Please do not send news to me or call me in the future con cerning news items. Send them direct to the Scout Office. I have enjoyed working with the Scout personnel and hope things will continue to move forward in the future. So long. Mrs. Neal R. Kitchens Clay Native Opens Asheville Office James L.
