STILWELL JEWELRY I had a most delightful dinner companion at our press meeting banquet last Saturday evening1 When he sat dawn on my left' I detected a strange accent as he spoke to someone across the table Presently I introduced myself to him and he in turn revealed his identity to me He was fiom someplace in New Zealand I say it much less spell it and his name was Charles Moran And he was quite enthused over these United States of ours In fact lie made the statement early in the 'evening that he was not sure he would be able to get his wife to return to New Zealand has just fallen in love with everything there is he informed us One of the most interesting things about our conver ation was his accent of course and I can't relay that to you but I can give you his impressions of the States which is most flattering to us So often folks come here from other countries and spend a good part of their time 'finding fault with the way we do things but not the Morans They love it They came over about a month ago and immediately upon arriving they purchased a used car in which to travel across country The nearest Charley came to complaining all evening was when he discussed their trip across the desert from California east he said in a most distressed tone we would drive for miles and not see a And he added pretty sad-like that the used car they bought had no air-conditioning in it! Their primary' purpoie in coming to the States was to attend the International Rotary convention held in Dallas last month those he sighed me really big I asked him how our eating habits compared with (heirs since I noticed during the meal that he used his knife almost constantly and also held his fork in Mr and Mrs George i his left hand He cleared Things and son Walter of up for me almost instantly as he explained use our knife a good deal more than you do as a means of pushing our onto our Now that is a New Zealand custom I am in favor of adopting All my life crusaded for another piece to be added to the silver set that of a pusher But he cxprered his approva of our use of the hands at a mral "with the he said which threw me fer a minute until I realized be was referring to our picking up rolls with our fingers How else would you eat a roll? Apparently they cut it with the knife and eat it with the fork no thank you But I can't cover the full evening for you I just wanted vou to urn't Charlev Moran and know that when ho does go back to New Zealand which will not be until he has completed a contemplated trip to the east coast he will go a a GOOD WILL AMBASSADOR FOR TIIE UNIT FI) STATES OF AMERICA May his tiibe increase! the was held in the Cox Misses and Peggy the Shirlev Ann Hatfield the punch table the out-of-town guests Kitty Gurley and Brenda of Denver Mr arid Mrs I of Tulsa: and Mrs of Hugotnn Kansas a wedding trip Missouri Ozarks the home Tulsa REUNION third annual family the held Sr'urdav and June 14 and 15 in the State park near the 125 persons LUNCHEON Cox spent week in Tahlequah attended a noon held by members of of the American Alberty returned last Mount Pleasant where he has been locals to PR 4-2228 Visitors last week in the home cf Mr and Mrs Whitaker were their son-in-law and daughter Mr and Mrs Vernon Helms and children of Hobbs New i Mexico Miss Ann Terry Bogart of Fayetteville Arkansas is a house guests this week in the Dr Emmett home Miss Billie Reynolds of Tulsa was a guest week in the home of Miss Shirlev Brown rere-mony Margaret wedding presided at Among were Mrs daughter Colorado Lawton Mvrtle Hall Following through the couple is at TAM1LY The reunion of families was Sunday Sequoyah Wagoner Among attending were Robinson Stilwell EXPERT INSPECTION WATCH REPAIR ELECTRONIC TIMING FREE Bill Pastor Sneaks WicMins dliuxcA 417 Mio-Amcrica dttuLvitt Cdtj Donald Harril Farto RTUDVi RtiHHIWO I-eaSR PMKMIAfc RIO MAMUUU PMOMC PtMWNf t-7te WE DOUBLE CHECK EACH PRESCRIPTION Registered pharamacists with years of experience will save you quickly and graciously Only the finest high-poti ncy absolute pure drugs are used and every prescription is scrupulously cheeked twice!
