told him. We enjoyed them so
much, and they meant much
to the room mate he didn’t
have any or many nervous
spells down there ....
Then there were several
lovely morning coffees etc. . .
with dear friends . . where we
renewed old acquaintances . . .
met new friends and had a
good time in general . . . But
we spent more time just rid
ing around seeing the beauti
ful, Orchids at the Brandt
home and at his place of busi
ness ... if you want pretty
orchids and everything it takes
to grow them just see Mr.
Brandt. Oh yes, we went to the
Orchid Show too, there we saw
the Lewis Vaughns . . we had
seen them in Palm Beach on
way down and the beginning
of the "Easter Theme” Display
they were to show at the Mi
ami City Auditorium .... It
was simply too beautiful to
dismantel the last night of the
show. We expected to stop by
again in West Palm Beach on
the return trip but . . . you
know when you start home
how it is.
Petunias and every flower
we do not grow here was in
blossom down there . . . Roses
were in full blossom in the
parks . . . and you just must
see the Mall of Lincoln Road
. . . It’s a long walk tho. I
know . . cause, in getting up
some Valentine Favors etc. for
a Valentine Party we had
aboard our boat I got lost . . .
they will never hear the last
of that.
One day after Church Ser
vice at the Central Baptist
Church and Sunday School
(Bert Adams don’t you forget
on your 6 point record system
that we were 100 percent every
Sunday . . . and that’s not all,
my roommate taught the mens
Fellowship Bible class the
Sunday we left at Central Bap
tist Church. Somebody came
running up to speak to me and
guess who it was . . . Lowell
Alexander, son of Mrs. James
Alexander ... he sings in the
choir here and the day before
we left Mrs. Alexander arrived
in time to have a nice ride up
the river where we put our
boat in storage . . . and on to
lunch before we took her home
. . . she went to my Sunday
School Class with me the next
A. M. and we left her for
Church as our plans were to
drive on that night as far as
we could and listen to that
wonderful pastor, Dr. Angell
on our way. We rested a day
in Orlando with our friends
the Claude Walkers.
We just couldn’t believe the
TV reports of all the rain you
had. It has been cool morn
ings hot in middle of day and
nice at night there . . . Wanter
swap places with them in Flor
ida . . you bet your life I don’t
.... never was so glad to get
Home . . but I have not been
there yet . . atopped at my
Shadows house . . . and they
tell me our heat is off . . . so
I think I’ll just stay for I smell
something good cooking . .
and so help me this won’t fill
the column . . but I can’t think
of a thing to say I’m so happy
to be home with my room mate
feeling so much better.
OH! My Sister just told me
the sad news of the passing of
our good friend Mr. Jim Cook.

Newton County CD unit has
been on a semi-standby notice
from the State CD system. He
said that his unit in Coving

distress or evacuation calls as
a result of the hard rains.

Had such a lovely letter from
Mrs. Cook during our illness
. . and somehow had not got
ten around to answering it.
She and Mr. Cook had read the
Chatterbox, written about their
Doctor son’s honors . . . and
we were so glad to hear from
them.
I think everybody loved
“Mr. Jim” as he was lovingly
known, that is everybody who
had the privilege of knowing
him, as well as his family. And
now in all my joy of getting
home, I find myself grieving
that the hearts of Mrs. Cook,
James, Marjorie, Mr. Will, Miss
Sallie Mae and all the family
had to give up one so dear to
their hearts. But this is God’s
plan of life and He, in all His
wisdom will place His loving
hands on the wound in your
heart and bring that peace,
comfort and understanding
that I could never bring with
mere words • . . but our pray
ers will be with them. Our
hearts bleed with their. I’m
glad “Mr. Jim” lived to see his
fine son win all the honors he
has . . . and I’ll have to tell
you of Marjories honors at an
other time. I am sure that the
entire community joins me in
love and heartfelt sympathy . .
to the Cook Family.
I’ve stopped here, have not
been home, find today is Gar
den Club day for us . . and I
may go right on as is . . for
they say our basement became
flooded . . heat off . . house
cold . . and what could be
nicer than stepping into a Gar
den Club meeting “as is” after
riding about 700 miles ... I
know I’ll get the prize of the
day . . . and you may expect
me to be back on the job next
week, with that broom in hand
. . . saying I’m glad to be home
and to see you . . . while I’m
reallv doing the . . . “SWEEP
