own making.
“We’re already deep in plans for
doing something constructive for
youth,” she said in announcing the
party for senior citizens. “Now
we want to do something for
adults—we don’t want to wait un
til w'e’re 80 to start planning what
to do with our later years. This
is the most ambitious project the
Woman’s club has undertaken—and
we hope it may grow into some
thing in which all our churches
and clubs may work”. *

Besides the 10 modem homes
within or adjacent to the assembly
grounds built by interested mem
bers, eight miles of all-weather
roads have been developed and
sewer systems and water works
installed.
Dixon Park, developed by the
late Mrs. F. W. Dixon honoring her
husband, who started the enter
prise, was the first area to be sur
veyed and cleared. This was fol
lowed by Camp McAfee, which
consists of nine aluminum cot
tages, housing eight each, and the
“Wall Street” area of six cabins
equipped for light housekeeping
and camping. The Lake View
trailer park and a spacious swim
ming pool followed the erection
of Aldridge hall, the large all
purpose building in the center
of Camp McAfee, in recreational
center.
Future plans include this spring’s
erection of new homes by Miss
Opal Stamm, retiring teacher at
the University of Kalamazoo,
Mich., on Holly road, just above
TIilley park.
A residence on Fern way above
Mrs. L. T. New’s home, is to be
built by Miss Nancy Sloan of Roan
oke, Va., in time for summer oc
cupancy.
A large home planned for Mr.
and Mrs. H. H. Strietmann of Cin
cinnati, O., will be erected on a
7-lot tract on Rhododendron drive.
Since Mr. Strietmann will retire
as president of the Chemical Sup
ply Co., which bears his family
name, at the end of this year, con
struction will be commenced im
mediately. A life-time lease for
the couple assures the assembly
ownership of this fine home at
their demise. It will all be land
scaped as a unit and setting for
the two-level home which they
are planning.
The largest improvement is now
in the planning stage. When Mr.
Strietmann saw plans for Fellow
ship Hall which the Women for
Christmount were planning to
erect at Ihe assembly, his interest
caused him to obtain a much more
ambitious blueprint from his archi
tect in Cincinnati. This plan, em
bracing a memorial chapel, large
lounges, diningrooms, kitchen,
dormitories, offices, patios and a
prayer room, will be the next gen
eral development. The plans for
the Strietmann home and the Fel
lowship hall have been prepared
by Architect Harold E. Radebaugh
and Associates of Cincinnati, who
built the present Strietmann
home in that city.
Lindberg of Asheville, will do
the landscaping of this tract as he
has of the Jarvis Memorial en
trance from Lakey Gap road.
Mrs. Walter A. TVavis is the
chairman of the building commit
tee of Fellowship hall. A. E. Wat
ters, treasurer for the board of
directors, efficiently handles the
finances and Mrs. Watters is ed
itor of "The Christmount Voice”,
which is the official organ of the
assembly, issued monthly.
Rev. Mr. Nay is secretary of
the board, and also assists Messrs.
Watters and Davis with Work on
roads and grounds. Mr. Dixon re
tains his interest by serving as a
member of the executive commit
tee and as assistant treasurer. Mrs.
Eva New of Asheville, is president
of Women for Christmount. Rev.
Hayes Farish of Lexington, Ky., is
the president of the board of di
rectors.
