was dull there, too, so he came
back and helped Dee Stroud work
on the porte cochere he’s building,
and they talked about the weath-
er. It helps, Charles decided, if
you don’t repress your feelings.
If Dee Stroud would get a tele-
phone, we could find out what
he’s up to. If he’d get a phone,
his neighbors would help him
mourn Sally’s departure from the

to help him get in his tomato
crop this summer!

Visitors in Purves were scarce
as hen’s teeth this week. Nobody
thought it was safe alter the hail
last Wednesday. It looked like a
two inch snow' to me, but Ray-
mond Hancock says there’s no
way you can measure a hail,
though even he admits it covered
(he ground. Raymond was caught
in the bam when the thing star-
ted. “It sure sounded like a big
cue from under a tin roof,’’ he
said, but accompanying rains
melted the stuff and washed it
away before he could run for his
yardstick. Damage was hard to
msess, too. He said fruit that he
thought might make it after the
freeze was falling to the ground,
but with all the hypematural ph-
enomena going on around here it
didn’t seem fair to blame it on
one thing.
Theola Tatum was quick to as-
sess the damage ot her house.
The windows made it through the
onslaught, but hailstones riddled
the Tatum garden. A thing of
beauty as well as being Hap and
Thcola’s personal response to the
energy crisis and various boy-
cotts, the garden was just begin-
ning to make a second showing.
They’d replanted after it was
leveled by last month's freeze.
Immature peaches also dotted the
ground beneath the Tatum trees,
promising a vanilla flavored sum-
mer.

sympathize with the people along
the Mississippi, and Willie Sew-
ell was quick to join her. “Our ,
roofs may leak, but at least they- \
’re not standing under water,”
said Willie, admitting the differ-
ence between calamity and cat-
astrophe ^
Willie was feeling good anyway. {
She and Joe had just learned that
their grandson, Gary Ferguson q
ofSh reveport, La., was one of ,n
two LSU students selected by
Phi Eta Sigma Fraternity to re- lb
ceive ttie Dr. Lucky Award. The ,c
scholarship, named for the first ^
faculty advisor of Phi Eta Sigma ,3
at LSU, was awarded to Gary in (lj
1973 on the basis of his highest if|

on a four point system. A sopho-

Dale Cook decided growing ol-
der might have some advantages ’
after all when his children and
grandchildren all showed up to '
celebrate his birthday Saturday
night. Three weeks old Katie
Cook stole top billing from six m
months old cousin LeeAnn Ever- .,,
ett, who stepped down from star-,la
dom as willingly as the birthday
honoree. Cleo seated Leroy, Char- ,,
len eand Eric Everett, and Gerald,nl
and Rita Cook of Stephenville:
Arthur, Cecelia, Steve and Kim
Gilbert and Terry Cook and won-
dered where she’d expand to if __
the family grew any bigger. As
it turned out, Dale’s birthday
dinner served as a rehearsal lor
