Hay fields are scenes of activity and large trucks of baled hay come through town at all hours. OFF TO GERMANY Another of our girls has gone to Germany to share the experiences of Army life with her husband. She is Carole Ann Saye Tiffee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Saye and the spring bride of Pvt. William Sheridan Tiffee, a former Wolfe City boy. Carole Ann left Amon Carter Field by American Airlines at 9:25 AM Monday, July 11, and arrived in Munich, Germany, Tuesday at 10:00 AM. She left New York on the German Lucitania Airlines and had a short lay-over in Frankfort, Germany. The couple will be in a private home in Stepenhaufen, Augsberg, Germany. Carole left practicing a few basic German language words, but no doubt the alert young lady will add to her eleven years of schooling here in Celeste School, many worthwhile things to be gained by living in new surroundings. She plans to do her senior year in high school by the American sponsored school at the air base. Pvt. Tiffee, a graduate of Wolfe City High School, is stationed near the town of Gablinge, Germany. A COFFEE Mrs. Albert Click had guests for a seated coffee last Friday. Ladies attending planned the WSCS Bazaar for November 22nd and 23rd, the Tuesday and Wednesday just before Thanksgiving. This particular money-raising is to be applied to the furniture fund. The new parsonage at the present is equipped with the Click's own furnishings. ATTENDS MUSICAL Rev. and Mrs. Albert Click had dinner, attended the State Fair Musicals, and spent the night last Friday, July 8, 1960, with their son, Albert Wayne Click, and his bride at their new apartment home in Dallas. The Clicks enjoy certain musicals each summer, but reported that the past one, "Show Business," with Carol Channing was especially enjoyable. VISITING Miss Mary Eastwood and Mrs. J. E. Eastwood are on a two-week visit in Fort Worth and McGregor. They are visiting in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lucian Cole in Fort Worth. Mrs. Cole is Mrs. Eastwood's niece. While away, Mrs. Eastwood will visit with her sister, Mrs. W. H. Kirk in McGregor. Mrs. Kirk is an attractive ninety-seven years young. Mrs. Reece Lacy and granddaughter, Nancy Ruth Stapleton, spent a nice vacation with Mrs. Helen Odom in Dallas. The T. B. Weatherleys, Mr. and Mrs., Randy, Mike, Jerry, and Linda, have returned home after spending a week in Friona with Mr. Weatherley's brother. Mr. John George is away this week on a business and pleasure-mixed trip. He is assisting Mr. James L. Clinton of Dallas in the care of a Boy Scout troop at Scout Encampment at Lake Texoma. Mr. Clinton is scoutmaster of the troop that his son, Eddie Paul Clinton, is a member. Mr. George was looking forward to plenty of fishing time during the day while the boys are busy with camp duties. He was expecting no trouble in the care of the scouts at night. The G. W. Tillersons are at home after several weeks spent at their farm at Celina. Mr. Tillerson is recovering from a bout with a very painful case of pleurisy. He was in a McKinney hospital three days last week and is convalescing here. He spoke of being anxious to get back to his many interests, among them are school, farm, Lions Club, and softball. He, his sons, Charles and Joe, and Anthony Mulkey, are playing softball with the Salem-Kinser team in the Greenville YMCA league. Mr. Tillerson and Charles are pitcher and catcher, and Joe holds down the position of first base. We hear that Charles is doing a good job of pitching while his dad is out of the game. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Gay, Jr., went to Houston the past weekend to be at the bedside of J. D.'s aunt, Mrs. Ray McMichael, who had had surgery. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Green have been in Bonham several days in the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Barnard. Mrs. Green has been quite ill for several week and the change and rest is reported to have helped her. VISITING HERE Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Turner and thirteen-year old Terry of Abernathy are visiting Ellis' sisters, Miss Fannie Tatum and Mrs. Harold Armstrong, and other relatives. The Turners were reared here and are still as young, jolly, and lovable as they were in their growing up days. Misses Nava and Belle Puckett of Annona spent several days this week with their sister, Mrs. Mildred Barnard. HOBBIES As one drives around our town, the hobbies and recreational past-time pursuits of a number of our citizens are usually evident. For instance, the very neat and spacious house and grounds of the D. B. Lewises, is typical of the Army retired D. B. and the excellent homemaker, Gladys. A covered patio in the back yard with its cook-out facilities, attest to their other very dear hobby--that of entertaining their children and grandchildren. Rusty and Brenda Norwood have spent part of their lives in the pleasant home, but they now are living with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Norwood in Sherman. Mrs. Norwood was the former Peggy Lewis McKnight. The Norwoods are rejoicing over the recent arrival of John Dennis Norwood. The Lewises are happy over another new grandbaby, Kyle Raymond Lewis, son of Staff Sergeant and Mrs. Charles Lewis of Goldsboro, North Carolina. Charles is another Army man and is now stationed at the Seamore Johnson Air Force Base at Goldsboro. Mrs. Lewis is the former Patsy Money of Greenville. ARKANSAS TRIP Johnny Myers and Herbert McGee spent a recent holiday weekend pursing their favorite hobby--that of fishing. They were joined by Mr. and Mrs. Brad Waddle in their search for that "big catch." Mr. Waddle is with the Agriculture Experiment Department of the University of Arkansas. Mrs. Waddle, Herbert's sister, was Wanda Lou McGee, a Lane girl and a graduate of Celeste High School. OTHER HOBBIES Mr. John Cawthon's best love must be fishing--if one judges him by that wistful look when he talks about fishing while busy with his job of barbering. Then he has bee hives--and hives of them--and he packs large-mouth quart glass jars with delicious comb honey. He also grows a fine garden. Mr. Dode Davis has gardens over two or more lots. His corn grows the tallest and his vegetables most abundantly. He dabbles with flowers of many kinds also. His winter time is spent enjoying his television. He is also seen during school time checking pennies that youngsters might bring him for he is a penny collector or a searcher for some particular kind of coin. A busy man--that Dode. BOATING--FISHING--SKIING Boating, fishing, and skiing are the recreational pastimes of a number in town. The Waitman Floyds, Carl Lacys, Bill Barnards, Pete Spoonemores, Tommy Areys, and the Monroe Hackneys are among those who have fished this summer at Texoma. Messrs. Elmo Duncan, J. W. Goodman, and O. J. Shuler also "wet that hook," we believe is the way fishermen speak of that fascinating (for them) hobby of fishing. The Messrs. Elmo Duncan, Carl Lacy, Pete Spoonemore, and Johnny Myers are also boating and skiing enthusiasts. Mr. Duncan's family joins him often at Lake Lavon for this sport. Other boat owners also have encouraged the water sport by taking the young people of the town and furnishing the motor power for skiing. A number of the young people are quiet adept at this graceful sport. Carl Lacy has gone further with his hobby. He has made several pairs of skis in his home workshop.
