Making a briiliantt ending to a

Getting away from our tasks (ta

Things (that make us laugh, ac

Tnus ones, the unexpected and
misuse of language.

i written during the war by a Bri
\ ton entitled, “The Captain of the
| Ship that takes Us Home”.
Speaking seriously, referring to
his own fear as a prisoner of war
( in World War II, Newcombe said,
“From fear came courage and
unity, a common faith in our
selves, the future, and God.”
Edwin Moore presided and in
troduced special guests.
The ladies were given a warm
welcome by Sam Stallings and
Mrs. F. A. McDaniel responded.
Newcombe was Introduced by
George Thomasson.
Other features of the program
were (the presentation of gifts of
nylons Ito the ladies and the an
nouncement at mid-evening of
1 the city run-off election results.
The delicious dinner, served by
Mrs. I. B. Goforth and her assist
ants consisted of tomato juice
cocktail, olives and other hor d’
oeuvers, cole Slaw, green beans,
i fresh corn, roast beef, rolls, iced
tea, strawberry shortcake.
'Same examples of Newcombe
humor were:
ON CAROLINA WEATHER:
“We have wonderful weather
here. We’re too far from the coast
for the hurricanes, too far South
for snow, too far East for the tor
nados. We just sit here in this
miserable humidity.”
ON GOLF: “A game in which
a little white ball is chased by
a man too old to chase anything
else.”
ON BEING MARRIED 25
YEARS: First lady, "Imagine
that! Being married twenty-five
years to the same man.” Second
lady, "Well, believe me, he isn’t
the same man he was twenty
five years ago.”
ON DIFFICULTY IN KNOWING
WHAT TO EXPECT: Doctor:
“Mrs. Jones, I have good news
for you!” Reply: It’s Miss Jones.”
Doctor: “Oh excuse ime, Miss Jo
nes, I have bad news for you.”
