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.

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.
GERMAN CADETS . . . Nine German naval cadets and one officer „
arrive here for course in naval air and advanced flight training
at Pensacola, Florida.

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.

PREACHER REPORTS.,.
Evangelist Billy Grabam, back
from world tour, leaves White
House after 50-minute talk with
Pres. 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.
