January 9, 1964
At the Church:
“The Big Snow” just about
paralyzed church activities
„4ast week and no Prayer Ser
vice was attempted on Wed
nesday evening. Only 80
people managed to get to
Sunday school on this first
Sunday of 1964, but a few
others made it for the 11:00
o’clock worship hour.
January Bible Study which
was to have begun January
1 is now scheduled for 6:30
P.M. Wednesday, January 8
and will continue for one and
one-half hours each Wednes
day until completed. This is a
Church -wide activity, not con
fined to any small group, so
it is hoped a large number
will participate. Pastor Ho
cutt is the teacher. The book
for study is “The Letter to
the Ephesians” by Vaughan.
In the Community:
Miss Edith Van Duzer,
whose birthday falls on Dec.
31, was delightfully surprised
on last Tuesday afternoon
when a half dozen friends
bearing gifts and delectable
refreshments (including a
lovely cake with candles) drop
ped in for a social hour. The
party time was somewhat
shortened because of the in
tensity of the snowfall and
the fear the guests had of not
being able to get back to
their homes, but “a good time
was had by all.” Those pre
sent were Mrs. S. C. Gill; Mrs.
Mayme Gough; Mrs. Thelma
Griffin; Mrs. Lucile Carroll;
Misses - Grace and Mamie
Meeks; the honoree and her
sister, Mrs. B. S. Meeks.
Mr. R. E. Teague has been
quite sick for some days, but
is much improved at this
writing.
Enroute from Ann Arbor,
Mich., to their home in Col
umbia, S. C., Mr. and Mrs.
Seward Oliver spent Tuesday,
RJUUUUA
Dec. 31, with her sister, Mrs.
E. F. Hardin and family.
Miss Corrie Hardin of
Greenville, S. C. accompanied
her brother, Elbert F. Hardin,
home on December 30 for a
weeks’ visit with the Hardins
and the nieces and nephews
gathered there for the holi
days.
After two weeks of vaca
tion in Fla., Mr. and Mrs.
Willard Weeks reached home
on Dec. 30, just in time to
get “snowed in.”
Most of their days were
spent in St. Petersburg, with
Mrs. Weeks’ sister, Mrs. S.
F. Haney and her son, Step
hen Haney, who is a student
in Emory University of At
lanta. Visiting time was al
so shared with Mr. Weeks’
mother, Mrs. E. W. Weeks,
who lives in St. Petersburg,
too.
Mr. and Mrs. Weeks wor
shiped in two St. Petersburg
churches. First Baptist and
North East Baptist, where he
spoke on Ridgecrest.
Another Sunday they wor
shiped in the Louisville, Ga.
Baptist Church and were after
wards entertained in the
Pastor’s home at a special fel
lowship for Intermediates.
In Tampa, Fla., Mr. Weeks
was the featured speaker at
the annual banquet for Ridge
crest summer staff members.
This was held at Causeway
Inn and 87 of their young
people were present for the
occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. Don Haney
of Hampton, Va., moved last
week into the little brick
apartment belonging to Mrs.
T. E. Walters. Mr. Haney
is a pharmacist employed by
Black Mountain Drug Co.
Cards were received from
Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Willis
in Dallas, Texas, where they
were spending Christmas with
their son, Dean Willis, and
his family.
Capt. Charles Brittain of
the Air Force, better known
here as “Pete”, is now sta
tioned in Scotland.
Chap. (Lt. Com.) Nat Brit
tain and his family are sta
tioned in Clovis, New Mexico,
where he serves at the Air
Force Base. The children are
enjoying: school life there.
Their Christmas card to
friends here included a Mis
sions Calendar with the pic
ture of little Cyndy on the
January page.
Weather conditions forced
Rev. J. J. Johnson and Miss
Cordelia to spend Christmas
in Canton, but members of
the family joined them there
for celebration a few days
later.
A letter from Major James
P. Harris, Jr. and his family,
in Ankara, Turkey, tells of a
happy Christmas vacation they
spent in Athens, Greece.
Warmer weather (about 60
deg.) and a Christian atmos
phere in Athens made their
surroundings much more
pleasant than the chill of An
kara and its Moslem trend.
Major and Mrs. Harris, Mary
Helen, Peggy, Jimmy, Tommy,
and Louise are all looking
forward to coming hack to
the States six months hence
when this tour of foreign
duty will be over. We re
joice with Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Harris, Sr., in this anticipated
reunion with their children.
“One of the highlights of
the trip to Athens”, writes
Major Harris, “was our re
turn to Ankara where Bob
Hope and his troupe were just
leaving following a perform
ance. Tommy and Louise had
a ball with Bob Hope who
gave all three of the oldest
children his autograph.”
Mr. and Mrs. James Hos
mer of Newport, Tenn., have
a little daughter who arrived
Dec. 13 and whose name is
Jamie. These young people
lived here in Ridgecrest about
a year before being trans
ferred to new work in Tenn.
Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Kin
caid of King’s Mountain
spent Saturday here, getting
their home ready for a honey
moon couple to live in for a

Library New*
Mrs. Sam Alexander, Li

es to say that the Swannanoa

cept books or gifts of money

orial to the one in whose
memory it is given.
It would also be a nice way
to honor a loved one by giv
ing a book on a birthday or
at Christmas time. In either
case the family or honored
person would receive a card
from the library committee
acknowledging the gift.
The Library is open on

not go during the daytime
