Last week we said a word about
further work on the dining room at
the assembly Mid before the paper
came off the pwss we discovered a
new project underway, that of en
larging the kitchen floor space.
More excellent cuisine is undoub
tedly the aim of Willard Weeks.
Conference crowds next summer
will be well fed no doubt. Good
cooking and service will make for
many a lovely repast in the elegant
refectory.
That full page of pictures of the
dual-lane highway to Old Fort in
the Citizen Monday morning re
minds us again of the size of the
task undertaken by The William E.
Graham company in grading and
leveling off those mountainsides
for the road bed. It seems we have
at last found a group of men “to
match our mountains,” for they
are literally moving mountains
these days.
The Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Johnson
are now reinstalled in their house
which they vacated while it was
being moved across Royal Gorge
road to the new site. Now they can
look down Royal Gorge almost to
Old Fort. On this new site the
Johnson family occupies a strategic
point along the scenic ridge between
the new highway and Royal Gorge.
We delight in their luck at being
so well located. They have been
good Ridgecresters for many years
and we are assured that they are
with us for keeps.
It is a lovely thing for parents
and children to meet each other for
a while on a Sabbath afternoon and
such was the case of the family of
Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Steppe on the
Black Mountain highway Sunday
afternoon when their children W. D.
Steppe, Mrs. C. B. Moore and Mrs.
Johnny Stiles and their families
came to the parental home for a
while to strengthen family ties,
share experiences of the week, re
affirm their devotior to each other,
avow anew their love for mother
and father and one another, reveal
plans for the coming weeks, watch
the glow of the fire on the hearth,
and rejoice in family fellowship.
More of it will strengthen the
homos of America and thereby give
stamina to the nation.
Smart, new edition of America’s most practical, lowest-priced,
full-size car.
Outside, it’s a harmony of smart, new colors and exciting
European lines; inside, it’s richly clad in new and beautiful
upholsteries.
As for performance, it’s definitely a car for the open road.
Its Supersonic Engine eats up the miles, but scarcely
touches the gasoline. It delivers up to 30 miles per gallon—with
a new kind of flashing getaway that takes your breath away.
