", 1 I had a great time
♦ hem, enjoying the little
Idehildren as they enjoyed
foliday season The first
fof Jan. I went to Char
lotte. Thomas and I’atsy had
made a reservation for me on
a Delta plane leaving there
for Dallas Texas on Jan. Jth
1 had ill.xed T'nTirrldTi's, as 'his'
was my first flight. I used to
say that when I got up in the
air 1 wanted to he on my way
to heaven, ha! Rut I guess I
didn’t really mean that in the
light of this modern day. As
Tom used to say "I’m prepar
ed, but I'm not quite ready”
I’atsy insisted that I take a
pill before 1 boarded the plane
to allay any nervousness.
Rarbara Brawley McAden, the
House Furnishings Editor of
the Observer, was going to
Atlanta, so we talked a blue
streak and were putting down
there before we had time to
realize it. It was a nice quiet
trip with no upsets of any' kind.

I
fPRUCING UP FOR SPRING take* in a lot of territory,
leaning, painting, repair work around the house—just
tout all of us get the urge to perk up the place this time
f year. I’ve noticed that usually the lady of the house
riU also want to redecorate—new color schemes, cur
tos, slipcovers, etc. If you ladies are making such
Ganges in your home, I’d like to remind you that now
rould be the perfect time to install handy extensions—
ud what could be prettier than a Princess? You can
latch or harmonize with your new color scheme because
'rincess extensions come in many beautiful colors. Why
ot stop by our business office and pick a Princess phone
D the color of your choice?

'HUCKLE, ANYONE? Thought you’d get a kick out of
little story I ran across the other day. A little boy
ailed the operator every five minutes and asked the
ar>ie question, “Please, Operator, what time is it?” Some
h|r>g about the boy’s voice told the operator this was no
-hildish prank. Finally she asked him to call his mother to
phone. “She can’t come,” he said. “My little sister
'"allowed a button this
kerning and my mother
la(i to take her to the
llhPital. And she told me
lot t0 dare leave the
louse till twenty after
5A'h. I looked andlooked
aid honest, Operator, I
T°!l 1 ^ any twenty on
‘hat clock. And I’m
^•r 'J 111 miss my school
Happy ending is
Pa- the operator called
ac little boy at 8:20 and
■ c met his bus.

(l HN. HUNTING? Who isn’t! Remember you get

lJuring bargain rate time.
• ™u.rse we picked up an hour
n Alabama, and reached Dal
as a after 5 o’clock. The
of this a«o are al
most beyond belief. Dean
Nancy Pryor, Patty and
dame were all there to meet
mo and thus began one of the
love lest visits ever had in all
™y„hfe: As every one knows
i -*-—
r,,. . o laouious city. ThT
hirst Church is a fabulous
church. With its 12,500 mem
bers, some would say it is too
ng, hut I dare say its mem
hers receive more individual
Qtte.n,t.lon, than any in the
Southland. The first Sunday
1 was there Dr. Criswell be
gan preaching thru the Book
ot the Revelation. He did not
till his pulpit in Dec. but spent
the entire month doing inten
?.lve study. No work quite
like this has ever been under
taken before. His messages
are not the wild imaginations,
the spiritualizing to make
things mean what some one
may think; but they are sane,
sound and sensible wrought
of a lifetime of serious and
scholarly research and study.
One of the men of the church
is giving the entire series,
which will extend over a per
iod of two years, to all the
Sunday School teachers and
officers. Others may have
each month’s group of four
sermons for twenty-five cents,
which does not cover the cost
of printing. In time these will
be put in book form, which
many predict, will have world
wide reading.
1 ne lovely women of the
church were so gracious to me
in so many ways. Nancy Pry
or and [ were kept busy the
entire two months accepting
their 'wonderful hospitality.
Those of you who know how
I sit here on my hilltop alone
will know just how much all
this activity boosted my mor
ale. 1 tried to store up enough
reserve to stand me in good
stead in days of need. Being
with our children has added
years to my life.
Mr. and Mrs. Weeks return
ed Saturday from a trip to
Winston Salem where they at
tended a meeting of the Trus
tees of all our Baptist institu
tions. The three main speak
ers for the sessions were Dr.
Thomas E. Jones, Administra
tive Consultant of The Associa
tion of American Colleges,
from Richmond, Indiana, Dr.
R. L. Humber of Greenville N.
C., Dr. Schiller Scroggs, Dean
of Rollins College, Winter
Park, Florida. The discussions
centered around the needs of
the Institutions and the part
the Trustees fill in helping to
get information to the people.
Mr. Weeks was one of the
panel in a discussion group.
On Friday night there was a
banquet in the Ball Room of
the Robert E. Lee Hotel
attended by three hundred
people.
On Monday Mr. and Mrs.
Seward Oliver of Columbia S.
C., Mr. Oliver’s sister and her
husband, and Mr. and Mrs.
Joe BeDell who have been in
Florida all winter, were dinner
guests of the Hardins. They
are all on their way to Ann
Arbor, Michigan. Mr. and
Mrs. BeDell live in Traverse
City, Michigan.
On Saturday night at the
home of Mrs. Helen Gill of
Swannanoa a stork shower was
given by her and her daughter,
Mrs. W. F. Wells Jr., for Mrs.
Edwin Gill of Ridgecrest.

Ammons, Mrs. Swain Gill, Mrs.
Clifford Smith, Mrs. Len Gill,

useful array of gifts was pre
sented to the honoree.
Mr. and Mrs. vv. l. wims
had dinner Sunday with Mrs.
Walters. They returned Wed
nesday from a visit to their
daughter Iris, in Charlotte.
Little Beth had her tonsils out
on Tuesday, and Grandmother
and Granddaddy went to bring
cheer to the household. When
we see the efficiency of all
our young folks we are in
clined to feel that maybe they
don’t need us; but when real
stress and strain come it is a
real blessing to be able to step
in and bear as much of their
burdens as they will put on
our shoulders.
Those of you who are far
away would like to know about
our weather. On Friday it was
nice and balmy, but when we
got up Saturday morning it
had begun to drizzle. In an
hour or two the drizzle was
freezing on everything. By
night our Ridgecrest was a
crystal forest, with jewels
hanging to every blade of
grass. Sunday morning it was
all gone and we had another
balmy day.
On Sunday morning our guest
speaker at the church was the
Rev. W. W. Willingham of
Lanford, S. C.
On Wed. at 0:30 the officers
and teachers meet at the
church. Prayer meeting wdl
be held at 7:30 and the chon
practice will be at 8:15.
