This coming Saturday evening
the Cape Fear Country clubs
official fall and winter season of
social affairs will get off to a
good start when the club will en-
terrain at the first dinner of the
fall. Dinner will be served in
the club dining room between
the hours of 1880 and $50 pm.
with reservations being taken up
until z pm. on Friday. Octo-
Der 81. Peg, I think this years
calendar of parties for the ladies
of the club should prove most
satisfactory, as they are plan
ming to hold, throughout the
year, a bridge luncheon on Tues
days beginning at II am. with
luncheon served around 1870
pm; on each Thursday they
plan to give a bridge tea start
ing at 8 pm. with tea served
at $50 pm. and each Saturday
evening dinner parties are to be
featured. You know with the
food situation as it is today,
planning menus is quite a job in
itself and judging from the
many conservations I have
heard during the past several
days so many of the members
are planning to entertain their
friends in this manner. Aside
from the regular parties each
week, Wednesdays and Fridays
have been set aside by the club
for private parties. You know
Peg, the Country club held its
annual board meeting this past
Monday night and Ben Wash
burn, Jr., Ike Granger, Jr., and
Glib Arthur were named to the
board, isn't that nice?
Know you will read this with
interest Peggy as you remember
his parents very well, so to
get on with my story, Harrison

pointed to foreign service of the
U. S. Government and will

that they were married this past
June % in the Chapel at Will
liam and Mary college,

ment he. is working on his Mas

curse they will be with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison M.
