Rev. Williams led in the responsive reading and then made the declaration of the in- tent of the church. The benedic- tion was given by Ted Huffman of the building committee. First Wesleyan built the pre- sent handsome brick structure in 1974, moving from a small church on Waco Road. YARBRO From page 1-A When the boys go to the pas- ture to check on the cows Pa- Pa, as the grandchildren call him, goes along. Although he walks with a cane, the senior Yarbro keeps up with the younger people and makes the trip to the pastures every day, rain or shine. The Yarbro sons and daugh- ters are Carrie Patterson, Julia Huffstetler, Ed Yarbro, John Floyd Yarbro Sr., George Walter Yarbro, Helen Ava Sipes and W. A. Yarbro. Julia Huffstetler does the cooking at her home and also at her father's house and William A. lives at home with his father. Ed, George, W. A. and grand- son, Wayne Yarbro, run: the farm. : Julia and David Huffstetler hosted the family birthday par- ty on Sunday and the birthday cake was appropriately decorat- ed with a farm scene complete with a fence and pigs. "I have seen a lot happen in this area and I plan to see a lot "more," said Yarbro, reminiscing for his birthday visitors on how the prices of food had changed over the years as he recounted the challenges of ‘the Depression. Christmas was different for Yarbro who recalled that kids got one piece of clothing if farming. had paid off that year and one piece of fruit. Children made the decorations for the tree they cut in the woods. Thanksgiving Day meals usu- ally didn't include turkey and all the trimmings. Since they used to raise chickens, the meal wasn't complete without fried chicken and there were always plenty of homegrown vegeta- bles if the crops came in good that year. Farm families made their own flour and meal and churned butter. There weren't many trips to town and to the grocery store. They also raised, killed and dressed hogs for good winter eating, a practice Yarbro has continued. Families had a lot of love back then, according to Yarbro who filled up several pages for school reports for his grandchil- dren on the good ole days Yarbro has three living sib- lings: two sisters, Sally Yarbro, of Shelby, 88, and Elvie Yarbro Webster of Morganton, 80, and a brother, Darvin Yarbro of Shelby, 78. The Two Shelbians live in the Fairview Farms area where Yarbro grew up as a boy. Listening to the news on tele- vision and sitting on the porch on a fall day are things Yarbro likes best besides tending to his farm animals. Homebound now, he doesn't attend church regularly but he enjoys talking to neighbors. Working hard is his secret for long life and farm living may help him reach the century mark. "I still have lots to do and I plan to live to be 100," he said. "But speak up now so I can hear you." Ne =s0 =50 Games and family entertain- ment will start at 10 a.m. and barbecue with all the trimmings will be served at 11 a.m.The public is invited. foo hl . > _— Co nmr TT Work to begin on peak generation plant CR FRR Bp BT THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD LIGHT From Page 1-A business of pilot lighitng was because of the lack of licensed mechanical people to handle the work. Maney recommends that citi- zens call their heating compa- nies now to have their fur- nances inspected and get on the heating company's list to have the pilot lights turned on. He also reminded that per- sons wanting to switch from fu- el to natural gas this heating season must sign a gas permit at City Hall and call the city codes department to request the service.
