And the cherry blossoms burst with snow, And down underneath is the love liest nook. Where the four-leaf clovers grow. One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith. And one is for love you know. And God put another in for luck. If you search, you will find where they grow. But you must have hope, and you must have faith. If you work, if you wait, you will find the place Where the four-leaf clovers grow. —Ella Higginson. SMILE Somebody told a homely child That she was pretty when she smiled. And something in her bosom stir red Responsive to the friendly word. Ihe little girl was very quick To learn that little smiling trick, And all the ugly took its flight Before her beaming new delight. Next day the neighbors saw her pass And said, “Who is that lovely lass? And where’s that homely little jane That used to amble down the lane?” —James Larkin Pearson. Mr. and Mrs. Jene Bauguess will be at home to their friends at 734 North Cherry street. We’re glad to report that Mrs. C. C. Briggs has recovered suf ficiently to return to her home from the Sanford hospital. Treva says that it is about the same distance from home as to where she has to park the car. We think the reason she drives is because she wants us to know that she has a new V-8. She hasn’t quite learned to drive up town yet but Sue says “Come on girls, get in my Chrysler and we will go up town and see the cir cus parade.” Mr. and Mrs. Harold Thompson spent the week-end in Cha-rlotte v;ith Mrs. Thompson’s sister. Annie says that spring cleaning isn’t so hard after all with an electric sweeper. Wade thinks he can furnish ev erybody on Buxton street with ice this summer as he has a new Kelvinator and water freezes so quickly he had to stay home all day Sunday emptying the ice from the trays to keep them from bursting. FINISHING DEPARTMENT The love bug has gotten two of our girls going. How about it Madie and Polly? Carma you look very sad since Odell has been working down stairs. What is it Odell, another Bing? The finishing room sure does miss the binding room door keep- er. Margaret Hilton says she likes to work at night. What about it, Tom? Mrs. Bell just loves to stitch. Molly Phillips wants to knov/ f anyone has a cow for sale. May be it is just bull. We all miss Claudia. Have a good time Claudia. We hope Mae West will let you come back tc North Carolina and won’t keep you in Hollywood to play her double. Glad to have Clayton Gough back and Mrs. Nonnie Bowen.

And often and softly to him talked: ‘ We’ve traveled together a long, long way,” It said, “But I leave you, my friend, today. I have followed you morning and noon and night; I have whispered warnings to guide you right: I have taken your hand and urged you on To seize the chances that now are gone; I have coaxed and driven and pulled in vain And thundered cautions again and again; To what avail?

I leave you, my friend, for there is no school For the man determined to be a fool.” “And who are you?” sneered the man with a grin; Said the Spirit, “The man that you might have been.” “Do you suppose your son will ‘■oon forget all he learned at col lege?” “I hope so! He can’t make a living necking.” THIS AND THAT By JOHNNIE SAGAR Those poor unfortunates who indulge in column writing as a profession have my hearty sym pathy. It must be disheartening to sit gazing at a blank piece of paper and know that if you don’t put something on it you won’t eat tomorrow. Personally, before I sit down, I have plenty of ideas, but as soon as I get a pencil in my hand, my mind is a perfect blank. Anyway, last issue I said there would be no wa
