What's New Down in Iredell, 1947

“Down In Iredell” from the May 10, 1947, issue of the Statesville Record Landmark

We reported the other day here-in on how a county resident had made a $100 suit for herself for about $2.50 by following the advice of Miss Mary B. Strickland, Iredell Home Agent.
Today, Miss Strickland gave us another example of how her club women can make new outfits for themselves at a minimum of cost. The one we’re about to tell you of cost 15 cents.
Mrs. Dawson Rufty took an old suit, covered the brass beads with fuschia nail polish, covered the white knots on an old hat the same color, and dyed her white gloves fuschia Then she stepped out Easter day in a “new” outfit at a cost of 15 cents.
LIGHTED TOWERS
Broad Street Methodist Church towers now gleam every night, the lovely amber glass a beacon. In each of the three towers, electric lights have been placed, and beginning tonight lights will burn until near midnight.
This is the realization of a dream by Rev. C.P. Bowles, the pastor, who says that ever since he saw a church in a Tennessee city having lighted towers, he has looked forward to the day when Broad Street would be “The Church of the Lighted Towers.”
MAX THARPE
When you pick up your current issue of Popular Photography and see those pictures by Max Tharpe, don’t think you’re dreaming. It’s really our boy Tharpe who has broken into the photographer’s Bible.
Max made the national magazine with three pictures which he took while a student at the Institute of Design in Chicago. One is used as a full-page spread, the other is a half-page and the third is a quarter-page.
However, he isn’t letting it go to his head. He will still speak to his friends if they walk up to him on their knees and salaam.
