Among those from Firestone who attended the 64th summer Methodist Camp Meeting at Balls Creek in late August were Robert L. Rhyne of Carding, and Mrs. Rhyne; H. T. Aldridge, overseer in Twisting (synthetics), Mrs. Aldridge of Quality Control; Otho Chambers of Weaving (synthetics), and Mrs. Chambers of Twisting (synthetics).The Balls Creek camp ground two miles from Newton on the Lmcolnton-Statesville highway has been a church meeting place since 1253. Here, Mr. and Mrs. Rhyne own a tract of land on which they maintain one of some 27U “tents J for use during the camp season.The buildings are of wood and all have electricity and running water, obtained from one large spring on the property. Original portion of the Rhyne property was purchased for 50 cents 60 years ago. Rhyne later added more land with plenty of forest for a picnic area.In 44 years, he has not missed an “encampment.” His wife has missed only two in the past 64 years.
