PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, AiPRIL 12, 1956 Club Hears -Review ’’Road To Shalimar” r~- The regular meeting of the Lit erary Study Club was held on Tuesday afternoon, March 20 at the home of Mrs. Gerald Paysing- er. The members were served delicious plate with coffee upon arrival. Mrs. Roy Summer, Jr. present ed Mrs. Paul Monroe, who gave the review “The Road to Shali- mar” by Carveth Wells. Wells was born in England. He is an engineering graduate and has been sent on many scientific ex peditions by the British govern ment. He now does a great deal of lecturing and writing. Mrs. Monroe’s review was as follows: “In the opening pages of the book, the author tells of an ex perience of his life at the age of 17 when, returning from a date, he heard his mother reading poet ry to his father in which Cash- mere was mentioned, and he de cided to visit this place. “In 1931 and 1932 he and his wife Zetta wanted to go to Sha limar on their honeymoon but were sent to Russia. Later in 1950 he was sent to India. While there he hoped to reach Cashmere and finally did. “In February 1950 Wells was assigned to go to Pakistan to get to know Ali Kahn, the prime minister, and precede the Kahn family on a tour of the United States. “When the author arrived in Karachi he was impressed that this was quite a modern country where everybody was engaged in some kind of occupation. In the years 1947 through 1950 the popu lation tripled. In their revolution in 1947 which resulted in the par tition of India the country was left without permanent workers. ri REMEMBER BY THE OLD TIMERS WORDS 11=^ Jot Bti*( I >1 ina i THOUGHTS The old customs were swept away at the birth of this r\ew Moslem nation. Girls of noble families became nurses. Kahn, who was an Oxford graduate, became head of the government. Needless to say both the Kahns when asked what they hated to leave most in India replied the “Taj Mahal.” “Mr. Wells then gives us an interesting description of a wed ding in Pakistan at which the bride is not present. “Cashmere was and is the point of contention between the Mos lems, in Pakistan and the Hindus in India on account of irrigation, for Cashmere lies north of India and Pakistan. As a result of the partition of India, the boundaries of India were changed to form the Moslem state of East and West Pakistan and the Hindu state of India with thousands of refugees moving in both direc tions, thus Pakistan became the largest Moslem state in the world. “Mr. Wells gives a good com parison of East and West Pakis tan which are divided by India with no communication between the two countries. “The book ended with a beauti ful description of the greatly longed for Shalimar; the lovely flowers with their different col ors, surrounding mountains, and the picturesque lakes.” During the business part of the meeting the members voted to ac cept unanimously the list of offi cers which the nominating com mittee submitted, as follows: President, Mrs. Claude Weeks; vice-president, Mrs. Clyde Tin- dal; secretary, Mrs. Kibler Wil liamson; treasurer, Mrs. Willie Hawkins.

From Bessie Summerfield, EUa- more. West Virginia: I remem ber back in 1901 in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, the State of the Old Dominion, of South ern hospitality—where everyone loved his neighbor as himself. On every occasion, each person seemed to understand his neigh bor’s need of help. On butchering day, the neighboring men came early. The wives came later to help prepare the dinner and help get the “caseings” ready for the stuf fing of sausages. They would cook the heads for puddings and mince meat, then take the broth the meat was cooked in, cool it, skim the grease from it and stir in corn meal to make pouhoss, which was sliced and fried like mush. In the evening, everyone went home with a generous mess of meat, no charge. The man’s work was well done, as was the wives*. The work was all done for all the neighbors without one cent of cost. If one neighbor was ill and not able to work, the neighborhood went together, planted and harv ested his crop. The women saw tp it that the wife of the sick man lacked nothing. I think back many times to that time of life and I never want to forget it. It is a cherished memory. HUMPH / Poe-pNT shs loo* reRRi&ul ?UT LETS PACE (T...

Eisenhower, whom he urged to visit India. Once my brother, who was old er, induced me to go bird hunting with him. That year had been a hard one. Drought had shriveled crops up in the field and there was practi cally no harvest. Corn specially was a complete fizzle. An uncle who had an island down on the river did make some and he brought us a wagon load, about 30 bushels. We faced the winter with that. I want to tell you, there was ported that three groups have paid the 25 cents per capita to the General C of C., this being due April first. The chapters supply of small Confederate flags will be ready for distribution on Confederate Flag Day which this year falls on Saturday, May 5th. Calvin Crozier and Drayton Rutherford chapters alternate on sponsoring arrangements for the observance of Confederate his torical days and this year Dray ton Rutherford chapter, with Mrs. S. C. Griffith, chairman, has ar ranged for the Memorial Day .pro gram on May 10th at 10:15 at the Junior High School. Since Supt. Beck is kind enough to grant this time, each person at tending is urged to be strictly on time. The Historical committee, Mrs. Hunter Brown, chairman, has varied the programs by asking some skimping and saving with that corn. Not only critters and chickens had to be kept alive as long as .possible with it, but meal for the house had to come from it too. My brother always kept a birddog. The usual food for it was cornbread made with dish water that had a little grease in it to flavor it up a little. But that year there was cornbread for the folks only, and little, if any, for the dog. It so happened that a few showers did come, but too late for com. The pumpkins in if did put on a lot of small ones though. We harvested all of these and hauled ’em. to the bam. Those things look rich inside. So my brother had an idea. Hej would each daughter of a Veteran to prepare a sketch of her father to be read—two at each, meeting. All are to be sent to the Historian General in the contest for a prize offered for the best collection of such sketches. At Tuesday’s meet ing, Mrs. C. H. Cannon (Lucy Wright) wrote of her father, Ro bert Herman Wright (later cap tain); and a sketch of Calhoun F. Boyd by his daughter, Mrs. H. L. (Mary Boyd) was read, at Mrs. Parr’s request by her daughter, Mrs. Eddie Mae Parr Baker. Both sketches were exceedingly inter esting and geatly enjoyed by the chapter members. The hostesses served a delicious |f salad plate with a cold drink made most acceptable by the warm af ternoon. The May meeting will be on the afternoon of May first with Mrs. R.^ M. Duckett at Whitmire. cook them in an outdoor pot and feed them to his dog. 1 can see that old thin dog now. It was pumpkin or nothing. So she would grin and eat it: I think she did that so it wouldn’t touch her mouth much before she got it down. She didn’t pick up any from eating that stuff. But it did keep life in her hide and bones. I started to tell you about that bird hunt I went on with him. But it’s too late now. That for next week. Mrs. George L. Epps, Sr. left Thursday for Columbus, Ga^ where she will spend ten days with her son, Dr. G. L. Epps and family.
