It takes you step step, even including the build- ing of a smoke house, to later, how r to cook it and even how slice it. This demonstration has been given at the Rising Fawn 4-H club and to one of the Ve- teran’s Farm Training clases where it has been received with much en.husiasm. W. E. Pike Stricken While At Work While working in his fields this Tuesday morning, Mr. W. E. Pike was struck down with a cerebral hemorrhage. News about this is incomplete and conflicting but it is believed it was some time before someone could be found to carry him to his home. Mr. Pike has been taken to Erlanger Hospital where he re¬ mains in a critical condition and hospital reports on Wed¬ nesday morning did not sound encouraging. Mr. Pike is one of Dade’s out- standing farmers and is a lead er in improved farming me- | thods. Once again a perfect autumn day helped to make the Fifth Annual Plum Nelly clothesline show an outstanding event. During the day over 4,000 peo¬ ple wandered over the two acres of shaded yard enjoying the quilts and pictures which were hung on lines from tree to tree. As you entered from the read a main path led tothe bluff and to Miss Mennen’s home but to the left was a curved avenue of quilts and to the right an ave¬ nue of pictures. Mingled with the quilts was a Quilter’s Clinic where many patterns had been cut out and mounted. If you wanted to take home a pattern, one was cut out for you while you waited The Byrd’s Chapel Home Dem onstration Club sponsored this new addition to the show and Mesdames Russell Barton and W C. Cureton were kept busy all day. The New Salem ladies had formed a Quilting Bee and took orders to make quilts fer those who wished the work done for them. The money from this goes to the building of the two new churches in the New Salem community. There were many old favor¬ ites hanging on the lines but many new quilts had been ad¬ ded. Some of these were very old and were in patterns not heretofore shown. Each quilt was marked and after each tag had been read the quilt would be re-examined. As you came to the end of the line of quilts — or pictures, de¬ pending on which side you had started—there was the Apple Cider waiting you, fresh from the orchards and presses of the Art Moore's and presided over by Mrs. Art Moore - herself. (It was delicious, as usual). Funds from the sale of the cider go to New Salem’s share on keeping the Bookmobile coming to Dade County. The avenue of painting by Adelaide Beck, Fannie Mennen, Virginia Dudley, Gray Phillips and Raymond Carlson varied from native Dade County scenes to abstractions. Miss Mennen’s theme this year was “The Earth at Work" which she painted with an exuberance and opti¬ mism in her choice of colors and settings. No morbid touches in Miss Fannie’s work. Her works are a splendid balance for the blue-gray powerful na¬ tive scenes of Raymond Carl¬ son. Miss Adelaide Beck’s “Huacas” were startling in their sharpness and three dimen- 1 tional quality against the white background of the paper. The ' jars and pots dug from the old Spanish graves appeared to re¬ tain all their own character and patina. I Along this avenue of paint¬ ings was an exhibit of enamel¬ ed jewelry and trays designed by Virginia Dudley. Some of I Miss Dudley’s work was ap¬ proaching the color and depth of Japanese cloisone. Lack of rain in the county prohibited the watering of the roads so there was dust, as usual, but the bus service from the New Salem School to Plum Nelly took care of some of the traffic so that there were not quite so many cars traveling the road.

TIGHTEN THAT LINE!—those are heirloom quilts being hung and much too to dropped in the dirt! Mrs. Terrance Moore, who was in charge of quilts for the show for the New- Salem community and herself an expert on quilts, is pictured advising Edgar Beck on the line’s tautness. Mr. Beck, who became interested in quilts during convalescence from an illness a number of years ago, has continued as a hobby the stud'y of antique quilt patterns. He is one of the foremost authorities on heirloom quilt patterns in this section. Published Weekly—Since 1901 NUMBER 41 JURIES DRAWN FOR DEC. TERM OF COURT Judge Freeman C.
