Sharp, Chairman Creative Writing Group W A S HINGTON S MIRTH DAY Inscription at Mt. Vernon Washington, the brave, the wise, the good. Supreme in war, in council, and in peace. Valiant without ambition, dis creet without fear, confi dent without assumption. In disaster calm, in success moderate; in all, himself. The hero- the patriot, the Christian. The father of nations, the friend of mankind. Who, when he had won all, renounced all, and sought in the bosom of his fam ily and of nature, retire ment, and in the hope of religion, immortality. WASHINGTON Long are the years since he fell asleep Where the Potomac flows gently by, There where Mt. Vernon’s green stretches sweep Under the blue Virginia sky. Warrior and statesman and patriot true, Well had he wielded both sword and pen. Truly, they said as they laid him to rest, "First in the hearts of his countrymen.” BRIDGE PARTY AT MONTE VISTA Miss Sally Field and Mrs. James Buckner were guests of honor at a pretty bridge party given Saturday after noon at the Monte Vista by Mrs. W.

WALTERS— Phone: NO 9-4641 inftnnononoftnftr*r»nnftfinnoono It is amazing the things one has time to think about and to notice when one is shut off from the usual crowds of people. In the winters here i always felt as I imagine the Indians felt. Every sound, every new track, every car going down the hill has an interest for me. These have really been shut-in days. Af ter the seven and onehalf in ches of snow on Saturday of the previous week we were just digging out. The snow plow came on Wednesday and cleared our road, leaving the snow piled on each side about two feet high. It was soft, though and 1 shoveled a lit tle opening so I could get out to the Brown’s car when they stopped to get me for prayer meeting. It was so good to be with our lovely group again. Then to our surprise when we got up Thursday morning we had four more inches. It was the soft fluffy kind that covered everything. I think I never saw our moun tains as pretty. We began to realize the danger though as the wires began to sag with the weight of it. Here in front of my window as I watched, two light wires touched each other as the snow fell from the upper one and fire flew' everywhere. In just a little our power was off. Now that makes us do a lot of thinking, doesn’t it? Here I was with all these ex pensive gadgets that we sac rificed through the years to get—now no heat, no way to cook and if it stayed off long enough—spoiled food in the deep freeze, no lights- no ra dio, no TV. To say the least it makes us wonder. Willy came ana Drougnt in some wood. I had kindling in the basement. 1 made a fire and tried to make myself believe I could get along for I have all the iron utensils for cooking on the fireplace— the spider, the oven, the skil let, the trivet for the coffee pot and several others. But MY! what a sigh of relief I drew when I heard the soft purr of the motor as my fur nace came back on after about an hour and a half!!! I de cided that maybe “the good old days’’ were not so good after all. We have really got ten too soft to endure hard ship. Last winter as 1 talked often to a lovely girl from Switzerland, she expressed amazement at what we have in this country. She said in her country only the very rich had the things that about all of us consider necessities. 1 remember so well when we moved to Rocky Mount from Harrellsville. We had not had a bathroom; but we did have one at Rocky Mount. Some of you are old enough to re member just how I felt. 1 never went in it but what 1 said a heart felt “thank You’’ 1 have never ceased to have that feeling for 1 remember. We did have 66 who braved the elements on Sunday morn ing. We felt well rewarded for being there. Mr. Larsen’s subject was “Who Lives On Straight Street?’’ After giv ing some of the famous streets of the world which may be exclusive, he discussed this one called Straight. It is not exclusive except that one must go by the way of the cross to get on it. All kinds of wonderful people are found on it—the rich, the poor, the small, the great, those of ev ery nation, every color. It be gins at the Cross—it stretch es on up beyond the sunset— it ends inside the gates of heaven. After all, those who are walking that street are in the select company of all the ages. Only 14 got out on Sunday night, for while we were in church that morning it snow ed steadily and all through the afternoon. We have learned that here we do not judge things by quantity or number, but by quality. While we are few in number, our church is seventh in the asso ciation in per capita giving. There are about 90 churches in the association. The junior G.A.’s met Mon | day after school at the par sonage. On Monday night the ' Associational meeting was held at Calvary church in West Asheville. Mr. Larsen was speaker for the Sunday school group. Ted Jollay from South Carolina visited his parents, the Rev. and Mrs. Charles. Jollay- last week. Our sympathy is extended to Mrs. Earl Gray, whose father was buried near Ashe ville last week. On Sunday Coach Norman Harris from Gardner-Webb surprised his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Harris, as he came by with his assistant Coach, Bob Blackburn, to at tend a meeting in Asheville. He left the two little grand daughters, Anne and Debby, with grandma and grandpa for the afternoon which was a lovely happening to bright en a snowdy day. Mr. and Mrs. B. K. Miller near Asheville on the Char lotte highway were visitors in the Pate home Saturday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Hobart Lee from Asheville, Mrs. Howell and Miss Lizzie Waite from Black Mountain visited the Fate's. One of the familiar sights during these snowy days has been Mr. Brown going up and down this road on his little tractor. He grew up in Min nesota where snows are meas ured in feet instead of inches and our small(?) snows don’t curb his dauntless spirit. He is really a remarkable man. Several of our boys have brought their sleds up to try my hill. Billy and Pat Wells came in yesterday p.m. to get my boys’ sled and try their skill. People are so wonderfully helpful here. So many have called to see if 1 needed any thing. Billy brings me mail as he comes from work. He has chains on his car and has been able to make this hill even in the worst of this. On Saturday p.m. I was honored with a call from little Billy III. He is growing like a little weed and just talks right back when you talk to him. Herbert Johnson, son of Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Johnson, has been appointed assistant manager at the Veteran's Ad ministration Office in Wins ton-Salem.
