We We're listening to Jimmy
Dean and his program last Thurs
day when we suddenly pricked up
our ears to hear Jammy say that
he spent the day with the Count
of Damascus. Further listening
revealed he and Jackson Weaver
had just acquired new hats and
shirts from County's store of
Western wear and they had them
on.
According to Jimmy the best
supply of western items in this
area is to be found in that many
faceted town of Damascus. We
had a look ourselves and really
fell in love with their beautiful
two-piece squaw dresses with tiny
unironed pleats that make skirt
a full eight yards around. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Count the dresses
are inspired by Navajo Indian
garb but Wen bet the Navajos
never had it so good.
We saw so many fancy shirts.
ties, hats, moccasins, silver and
bead jewelry that it had our head
in a twirl. But we do say this
If you like to square dance or if
you like the beautiful simplicity
of the squaw dress you'll find
some honeys at Counts.
We mistakenly said that there
would be half day at Damascus
schools April IS, The date should
have been Aparil 10. We would
like to correct our mistake.
