June is the month of weddings
and Ashe as well as other sections
seems to taking advantage OF this
tradition. We heard an amusing
incident the other day about a
man who was attending a large
wedding. He approached a lady
and said, Pardon me, are you a
friend of the bridegroom" She
answered, mo indeed! I am the
brides mother!"
Cheese And Defense
June is also National Dairy
Month and when thinking of the
dairy industry in Ashe county we
quite naturally think Of the
cheese plant.
| And speaking of cheese here is
one of the best stories of the
week:
"Cheese!" exclaimed h hearty
Lord Woolton, British Food Minis
! ter, ecstatically. Dockers were
swinging ashore 10000 pounds of
Wisconsin chaddar from the first
Lease-Lend food cargo to reach
Britain. AS Lease Lend expediter
w. Averill Hartman watched,
Lord Woolton tremendously
broke open one head and cut him
self a weeks ration. "And very
good cheese, too. This is what we
want for the miners" "What
about us dockers?" called a voice
from the ranks. Without ado,
! Woolton handed over a 2O-pound
cheese for the 200 lockers. ''This
| is off the ration" he said.
Eggs And Light
!. We have heard of candlelight
being used in connection with
eggs. But eggs like some other
farm products are going modern.
Mrs. w. B. Austin, Of Jefferson,
brought in two egg oddities last
week and one of them was shaped
exactly like an electric light bulb.
Can you shed some light on this?
A. Cup OF Tea
There has always been some
thing about a cup of tea that is
not only uplifting, but makes for
good fellowship and sociabillty
that has always appealed to the
writer. Perhaps it is the inherited
English characteristic, but any
way, we like tea And when tea
is being poured and consumed for
a good cause it naturally has an
even better flavor. The hospital
tea the other afternoon was a
most delightful occasion. Here
people were assembled for good
cause and had a good time. We
were particularly impressed with
the spirit of cooperation. And of
course we liked the delicious
cakes made by Mrs. Bernard
Graybeal, Mrs. John Littlewood,
Mrs. Jennings RAIDER and others, as
well as the delightful singing of
Mrs. Sharpe Shoemaker, Miss
Elizabeth Anne Diggs, Wayne and
Rachel RAIDER and others. And
then one of the most pleasant fea-
lures was seeing Miss Toby Tur-
ner and Mrs. Herbert Littlewood
who so graciously poured tea. To
Mrs. w. B. Austin, chairman of
the Auxiliary, to Mrs. Robert
Barr, chairman of the tea, and
others who helped to make it a
success, we extend bouquet of
roses.
