A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT
WOMAN OF TYRRELL
Columbia. At the beginning
of the New Year, as we look in
retrospect at the many accom
plishments brought about during
the proceeding year, which have
brought promise and joy to many
hearts, our thoughts become
somewhat bedimmed by the loss
of one of our most respected,
charming women, who has con
tributed much to the youth in
our community .... Mrs. W. R.
Spruill, more familiarly known
as Mrs. Ida.
At the Christmas seasons of
yesteryear, she would, for several
hours daily during the entire
month of December give her time
and efforts in preparation for the
annual Christmas pageants, held
at the Columbia Baptist Church;
with no thought of haste, and
with the patience required that
each child would be embued with
the spirit of the occasion; to en
joy the playful-seeming training
they were receiving. A pat on the
back and a cheerful word of
praise from her gave the con
fidence needed in childhood.
Nor did Mrs. Ida stop there,
she worked diligently daily to
bring the love and understanding
of music and its necessary place
in the life of the individual, by
giving private lessons in piano,
and partaking in every phase of
civic or private life where music
was needed. When a music in
structor in the school was sought
by the patrons; having been fore
most in this field, she was select- <
ed for the position; which she
diligently held as long as she
lived.
Mrs. Ida was small of stature,
barely five feet in height, but
in her dynamic personality she
carried much recognition. Having
come to the South, after her mar
riage, from the state of New
York; not too long after the War
between the states; when feelings ]
throughout the South was still in
a bitter state towards the then
so called Yankees. In my imagin
ation, I can feel the probable
coldness with which she was wel- |
corned to her future home, how
ever, if such a state existed for
her, it was never told by Mrs.
Ida. She, probably resolved to
make the people of her adopted
state know that she was looking
to the future, and carried on ever
with her strong, determination.
Her ever ready willingness to
help with any problem; anxious
to give aid whenever occasioned,
made her one of our outstanding
women. She was pianist for the
Baptist Sunday School for years,
yielding to her students for need
ed experience, but was always
ready to fill the position when
vacant. She held the position of
pianist at the church until her
demise at 81 years of age, in ac
companient with the organ which
was played by her daughter, Mrs.
Floyd E. Cohoon.
She leaves with us a wonderful
example, of keeping youthful, by ■
being useful, which she retained
through her constant endeavors
towards the upbuilding of the
youth and the faith in the future.

The month of January has been
proclaimed National Egg Month
by the National Egg and Poultry
Board of Chicago, and it seems
that Tar Heel homemakers will
have occasion to celebrate.
State College extension spe
cialists say supplies of eggs on
local markets will be plentiful,
the quality of eggs will be high
and the price low.
Virginia Wilson, State College
extension specialist in foods and
nutrition, suggests getting more
eggs into your family diets now
that the suplies are plentiful. Use
eggs in more ways, make those
• dishes calling for larger quanti
ties of “the fruit of the hen.”
A top hat is an egg dish at
tractive, nutritious, and satis
fying that can be used as the
main dish of a meal, as a meat
substitute.

ONE CAN NOT BE SAD
WHILE HE IS WHITTLING
The peculiar thing about whitt
ling is that it causes men to be
come philosophers and thinkers.
There is something about whitt
ling and putting your mind to it
that precludes hateful or dreary
speculations. You can’t whittle,
really whittle, and hate at the
same time. You can’t whittle and
still be downright sad. And un
doubtedly this is why a sight of
people, in a simpler era than
ours, used to get out their jack
knives and whittle when there
wasn’t anything else to do—and,
to be truthful about it, sometimes
when there was. The facts may
be only coincidental, but you are
naturally bound to consider them,
and the facts are that we once
were a nation of whittiers, and
comparatively untroubled. We
took pride in our whittling, and,
by gosh, we took pride in our
citizenship. A man gave things
some thought while he whittled.
A man wasn’t forever rushing
off half-cocked to tackle a prob
lem, personal or political, that
deserved some mighty serious
preliminary thinking. If you con
sult your memory you will recall
that is was uncommonly hard to
pull the wool over the eyes of a
whittler. So the things they used
to whittle were really only the
by-products, as the fellow says,
of all their more or less steady
whittling. Give a whittler a good
piece of clean-grained pine, and
a porch stoop or a cracker box in
the shade, and he would whittle
you out a cutest little violin you
ever did see, or maybe a wooden
chain in a cane, actually, link by
link. Sometimes he just sat there
and made a litter of clean shav
ings, and chips. But all the while

he was whittling he would be
whittling out something for him
self .something inward and sub
stantial, something that had to do
with his own approach to the
problems of life, or his judgment
of men and of motives. For you
can’t whittle without thinking.
