i ne uaraen liuu imu
most successful meeting on
Wednesday in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Currie. In
spite of the rain many came
to view the unusual talent of
the club members and some
few from near by commun
ities. It was most interesting
and attractive it would be
rather difficult to go into
details of the various dis
plays. It was a good surprise
to find so much talent in this
small area. We did not know
there was so much artistic
talent in this community. I
will just have to say, you
should have been there, for
to tell of one without telling
all would not be fair, as all
the talent was worth honor
able mention. Coffee and
cakes were served to the
guests as they arrived. The
cakes were most delicious
and were given by the good
cooks of Montreat.
It was an added joy to
have Dr. and Mrs. J. Rupert
McGregor come in for a
short time. They were in
their home on Virginia Road
for a few days and were in
vited to the club meeting to
see their old friends. They
are now living in Columbia,
S. C. and do not get to Mon
treat very often.
Montreat was saddened by
the death of Mrs. John Fos
ter. Mrs. Foster has been in
an Asheville rest home for
several years. She loved Mon
treat and was always hoping
she would be able to come
back to see her mountains.
She died on Wednesday and
the service was held in Har
rison's Funeral Home in
Black Mountain on Saturday
at 2 P.M. with burial in
Mountain View Memorial
Pjj.rk by the side of her sis
ter, Miss Elizabeth Shields,
who died in May of this year.
She is survived by a sister, 1
Mrs. F: ml Ragland of Clear- j
water. Fla., and a brother,
Eugene Shields of Dallas, i
Texas.
TV.6 service was conducted
I,v the Rev. Calvin Thielman,
pastor of the Montreat
Church and the Rev. C. R.
Stegall. a .stood friend, who
had the service for Miss
Shields last May. Quiet music
was played by \V arren Coker,
jr of Montreat-Anderson
college. The Rev. Thielman
had the graveside service.
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene
Shields of Dallas and Mrs.
Fred Ragland and son of
Clearwater, Fla., were here
for the services.
A fresh snow came on Mon
treal Sunday morning, but
in spite of that and the cold
wind with a cold 28 degrees
many got ont to the morning
church service which was
held in Gaither Chapel at
11 o’clock.
The Rev. Calvin Thielman
preached on *‘The Long
Might before Christmas”
based on Scripture—Job 23:
1-10. John 3:16-21, II Cor
inthians 4:1-7.
A beautiful anthem was
sung by the college chorus
under the direction of Allen
Guy with Warren Coker, Jr.,
at 'the organ. On next Sun
dav the services will be held
in' Gaither Chapel for the
last time until January as

This valuable tool for |
learning contains far more '
information than most folks (
realize. (
Take Webster’s New Col
legiate Dictionary. In addi
tion to the large section J
where words are defined,
there are many “little die- 1
tionaries” providing a variety
of information.
These are listed and ex
plained by Mrs. Robert
Boone, a veteran Durham
(N. C.) High School librari
an. Mrs. Boone last summer
instructed in the library
science department at Ap
palachian State Teachers Col
lege, Boone, N. C.
Webster begins with a
“Guide to Pronunciation,’’
says Librarian Boone. This
section explains standard
rules and symbols that apply
to the science of pronouncing
words.
Next are “Explanatory
Notes,” which clarify symbols
anil abbreviations used in
word definitions. A small
“n” means noun, for exam
ple. Capital “G” following a
word means that it is of Ger
man origin.
“Abbreviations Used in
Writing and Printing” are
found in the back of the
dictionary. Abbreviations in
general usuage are listed and
explained.
“Arbitrary Signs and Sym
bols” are given with their
meanings in such special
fields as astronomy and
commerce, (a stands for "at”
and ; means number for ex
ample.
The “Biographical Names”
section contains vital statistic
about famous men and wo
men.
“A Pronouncing Gazetteer”
lists towns, cities, rivers, and
other places, along with their
locations and key facts, such
as historical associations,
population, and industries.
Interested in origins of
first names? See “A Pron
ouncing Vocabulary of Com
mon English Given Names.”
Did you know that Phillip
means “lover of horses?”
The “V ocabulary of
Rhymes” offers a miniature
rhyming dictionary for the
poet or the person who wants
by John Corey
Education Department
to write merely a birthday
card jingle. Need a rhyme
for bump? Look up “-ump.”
You’ll find chump, clump,
dump—
Weak in spelling? In a
special section there’s a list
ing of the most important
spelling rules and their ex
ceptions.
The pages on “Punctuation,
Compounds, Capitals- can
be helpful when you wonder
how to use a comma, when
to hyphenate, and when to
capitalize.
“Preparations of Copy for
the Press’’ is an index of
printers’ terms and proof
readers' marks.
Want to know the location
of a U. S. or Canadian college
or University? A reference
lists the institutions alphabet
ically, with their founding
dates, locations and types of
education offered.
Foreign words and phrases
were once printed separately
in Webster’s but now they
are found in the main word
section.
A good dictionary costs
several dollars. But it offers
plenty for the money. If
