John Patton, who hac worked in the card room for al most 20 years, also went out foi the last time. I asked him if he thought he would miss his work “No”, he said, "after all these years I need rest”. Shirley Watts and Betty Jean Shook spent Saturday night with us. We are so thankful that these bewitching girls like to come see us. Minnie and I hope to have a new home one of these days We plan to make it a veritable rendezvous for the young people Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs Charles Taylor, Mrs. Tommy Ed wards and their children had a long visit with us. It had been some time since the children had visited us. and we were very glad to see them. Well, we had a wonderful time at our church this Sunday morn ing. Such a feeling of sweet fel lowship permeated the whole ser vice. Then the feminine element looked so nice in their new Easter ensembles, with here and there a lovly corsage. Girls that were dungaree dolls yesterday, were stately young ladies today. The Tiew-fangled duster was in pre eminence. I think if they had a little paint smeared on them they would look like an artist’s smock. Anyway, I held them back on some of the girls to view the beautiful dress. It was like fold ing back the outer petals in order to revel in the exquisite beauty of the real flower. Our Easter music was wholly satisfying. I think it would be nice if a small town like Black Mountain would turn traffic away from one of the quieter streets on Easter afternoon on which to have an Easter parade. One could stroll along with his wife and children, or best girl, meet friends and have a delightful time.

Southern Forest Fire Prevention Conference aims to reduce loss to South’s economy from forest wildfires which is greater than nation's property loss to organized crime. Conference meets April 13 in New Orleans. a magazine recently of the Jap anese cherry trees in Washington in bloom. It was my blundering luck once upon a time to be in the Capitol at this enchanting time of year. Words just can’t des cribe the beauty. Sometime when I have more time I will give you a detaile daccount of this trip. I agree with Reflections that if the upper North Fork could be made into a kind of park it would be a fine thing. But it is a shame that so many interesting buildings have been razed, or rotted down, like the pioneer cabin of Dan Burnett, the first Asheville intake house, Sen. Vance's Gonbroon, the Connally place where I have spent so many carefree hours with On nie Burnett. Some of the rooms were ceiled with hand-planea chestnut, the Curry house, the Andrew house in the Big Cove, not to mention the Champ Burnett house where Mis’ Elsie kept sum mer boarders. I suppose that the only thing of interest left stand ing is the old Bailey law school building. If the fine craftsman ship in all of these places could have been preserved, it would have been wonderful, but nature is still there in all her glory, and a park here would be a show place indeed.
