Mrs. Emma Hunter
Celebrates Birthday
With Family Present
On Sunday, August 14, Mrs.
Emma Hunter celebrated her 79th
birthday and had the pleasure of
having all her children except one,
Mrs. Margaret Queen, and many of
her grandchildren and great-grand-
children with her for the day. Din-
ner was served at her home and it
was a memorable occasion for all
present.
“GONE WITH THE WIND’
It was ironic that the life of
Margaret Mitchell, author of the
famous book “Gone With the Wind”
should be snuffed out as it was
last week by a careening taxi cab
driven by a drunken driver. Af-
ter a short career as a newspaper
reporter she married and settled
down to keeping house. But the
urge to write would not die, and
for several years she worked on her
great historical novel which de-
picted the story of the South and
its defeat in the Civil War. Her one
geat literary effort sold eight mil-
lion copies.
An efficiency expert claims that
most wives would be fired if they
worked in industry the way they do
housework. He’ll have to be an ex-
pert if he gets by with that one.
