This includes the tall tales about the skunk in the kitchen and the snake in the game room —unbelievable but true. ' Although the latest inter esting event is not of the hu merous nature, it is most in | teresting. Senior Girl Scouts ' attended a dinner given by the Council last Saturday night to acquaint the girls with opportunities for nation al and international meetings of all sorts and how they may prepare for these opportuni ties . Speaker for the evening was a most attractive woman from Peru, a Senora Dorrigo de Raffo, president of the Nation al Association of Girl Guides of Peru The Guides in Peru are a branch of the Girl Scouts. Following the meeting the group was asked if anyone there would volunteer to take the Senora to Cherokee to visit the Indians since she is extremely interested in the Indians of her own country. Mrs. Styles would take the visitor, so along with Anne Stubbs and Dede the trip was made. One interesting person with whom they visited was Mrs. Chiltowsky, school librarian at Cherokee and neighborhood chairman of the Girl Scouts of Cherokee. Mrs. Chiltowsky, I although the name appears to be Russian, is from a West ern tribe; her husband’s name I is Going Back. This couple | is among the several who are expert wood carvers and whose work may be seen each year at the Craftsman’s Fair in Asheville. WHO PUT THE JELLY IN THE DOUGHNUT? It has been a mystery to me for years how the jelly gets in the middle of these raised doughnuts. Now I know. Last week while in quiring about jelly doughnuts at the Krispy Creme shop at the center there were none prepared but the accommodat ing lady said that if I would wait a few minutes she would fill some for me. Since I was the only person around and expressed an interest in see ing. she allowed me to go close enough to watch the jelly being shot into the doughnut from a machine which funneled the homemade raspberry jelly. By turning the confection the jelly filled the inside which, by the way, w’as not empty as most people beileve, but the jelly is for ced through the texture until it permeates the inside. Quit drooling . . . That now brings another thought to mind: is this the way tooth paste is put into tubes? If so then how are the stripes so uniform and clear-cut in that type of paste? And how is rippled ice cream made so that it lies in layers instead of mar bled effect like marble cake? UNUSUAL PICTURE Christine Davis (Mrs. Wal ter) of Christmount, has a most unusual photograph of her father made during the last depression by a roving photographer.

Phone 669-5951 Mrs. Queenie Walker, Mgr. sociates with a general store —not in sight but easy to im agine its presence somewhere in the background—must have been the cracker barrel and round of cheese. No one in the family ever saw the picture made by the photographer but years later a cousin was in New York City visiting one of the art galleries and recognized Mr. Whitley for whom he had worked during the time the picture was made. He re turned home to tell Mrs. Davis’ brother, who in turn went to N. Y.. and tried to buy the picture, which was called “The Country Banker”. (In addition to being opera tor of the store he organized and ran the bank of Wendell). The gallery would not sell the picture but told Mr. Whit ley he might have copies made through the Library of Con gress. This the family did, and the study of Christine’s father as he reclines in “his” chair in that country store is something rare. One sees character and integrity in the old gentleman’s face, (he was around 75 when the picture was made.) We thought the history of the picture most interesting. MRS. HUDSON'S LETTER Mrs. George Hudson of the Ridgecrest Gift Shop has a letter which she prizes very highly from Helen Wagner, who portrays Nancy Hughes in “The World Turns" on TV. This, you remember is the same serial in which Margaret McLarty (Eileen Fulton) is sometimes seen as Lisa. Some time within the past weeks Mrs. Hudson sent party aprons to both Margaret and Helen . . . but here is the letter. Dear Mrs. Hudson: Eileen Fulton gave me the pretty organdy tea-party aprons which you had sent up here. It's a beauty and I shall very much enjoy using it. Thank you for think ing of me.

A broken power line on Dunsmore Ave. early Monday morning caused a bit of ex citement because it kept set ting fire to leaves on what is known as the Walker Estate. Mr. W. I.
