Civic League
hears talk by
Mrs. Duffie
Mrs. George S. Duffie, Sr.
presented the program at the
meeting of the Newberry Civic
League September 24 at the
Community Hall. She chose as
her topic, “Art and Driftwood
Arrangements”.
Mrs. Duffie began her re
marks by reminiscing about the
early days at Oriental, N. C.
by the Neuse River. As she lis
tened to the chirps of the sea
guls and looked at other nat
ural surroundings, images of
unusual things and places would
appear before her, she said.
There is an island near her
native home which is deserted.
She visited it during the past
summer and collected pieces of
driftwood which, through work
and insight, has developed into
beautiful patterns of nature’s
art such heads and bodies of an
imals and other forms of sea
life.
After discussing her arrange
ments and other pieces of drift
wood, she displayed several of
her own paintings, the most not
able ones being scenes show
ing egrets, her favorite birds.
She also demonstrated some
pieces of hand painted china.

president of the Civic League,
thanked her for her inspiration
al display and comments on her
work.

ture, president, and other mem
bers of the Newcomers Club

conducted a memorial service
for Mrs. Eugene S. Blease who
passed away recently, and Mrs.
Cannon G. Blease who passed
away last summer. They were
long-time and faithful members
of the Civic League and will be
greatly missed.
