Those who didn’t win so much can profit by the experience and observation of the winning entries, and point forward toward better products. Perhaps you’d be interested in some of the random comments of the judges of the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: “When displaying apples, don’t wax or polish them. This takes away the natural ‘bloom’ of the fruit.” “Green beans should be tender and show little development of the seed.” “The tops should be left on beets and carrots, and the bunches should be tied.” “It isn’t necesary to remove the shuck from sweet corn.” “In selecting greens for display, choose a variety that will stay fresh and crisp for a long time.” “Okra should be uniform in size and shape; also tender enough so that the tips will snap off.” “Onions which have a soft cen ter won’t win a prize.” “Please tell your people NOT to bring the largest potatoes they have, especially Irish Cobblers.” “These tomatoes which are at the proper stage of maturity have too many cracks and blemishes; therefore, we have to give the prizes to some that are overripe but are uniform in size and free from blemishes.” “Cabbages must have firm, hard heads.” “The judging has been very dif ficult.” “We all agree that the quality of the products displayed this year is far superior to that of last year. Tell them all to keep up the good work.” I was fortunate enough to be on the Horticulture Committee of the W. N. C. Fair this year, and I can truthfully say that the products displayed at Ecusta were in gen eral better than those at the Fair. Our winners here could easily have been winners there. (Continued From Page Ten) for the University of North Caro lina to study “Geo-Physics”, which we learn (via the Oxford Diction ary) is the study of the earth’s crust. Vera Allison Garris has departed for Spartanburg where her husband will be enrolled as a ministerial student at Wofford. As sad as these departures may seem, we are proud to have worked with these folks, and hope that they will come back to us someday. To compensate for our losses, we are happy to welcome James Arm strong and Charlie Morgan, who are replacing Ted and Jimmy at the Mail Desk. It is also a pleasure to welcome Fritz Merrell formerly of the Pulp Mill, who will be in the Athletic office. Don’t get excited, boys, Ellen Sentelle of Champagne is only working temporarily in the library while Katherine West is basking in the sun at Myrtle Beach. Everybody agrees that the Of fice picnic was a delightful af fair; although, it looked for a time as if Mr. and Mrs. Frank Har der were going to take home all the bingo prizes. One young man, we noticed, had to tote home sev' eral watermelons—did you help him out, Hicks? It was obvious tha.t several of our fellowworkers, who are presumably on diet, ditched their self control and gobbled up the delicious turkey and all the trimmings. We welcome a potential addition to our office staff in the person of Mary Noreen Hannon, brand new daughter of our office cashier, W. Anthony Hannon. We’re sorry Finishing Dept.

Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Capps an nounce the birth of a daughter, Dianne Marie, who weighed 8Vi lbs. at birth. Merrill wanted a boy so badly that he can’t even re member the date; however, he thinks it was August 26. He want ed someone to help him work, but luck turned to his wife. that our suggestion of a name for the baby was spurned—we still think that “Willie Wehry Hannon” is a pretty name. Congratulations to Charlie Cook for such a splendid showing in the Harvest Festival. FLASH: It has just been report ed that Harvey Souther has been elected President of the Five Year Service Club. His slogan: “From Office Boy to President.” Congrat ulations, Harvey! Please bear in mind that we are only “Cubs” and that the success of this column depends upon your help and suggestions. KEEP US INFORMED. The minister had come to call and was holding the small boy on his lap. “So you can count, eh?” he said to the youngster. “Well, let’s hear you.” The lad met the request with alacrity: “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, jack, queen, king.” ^6(jj.^**erries: Ralph Paxton, A.

There’s one store in the United States which advertises hand- painted ties for $1,500. The store freely admits that seldom, if ever, does it sell a tie at such a fabulous price, but it’s good advertising to have people talk about the store that sells $1,500 ties. All of which, gets us around to telling you about the beautiful hand- painted ties which Hal Gibson wears. His wife does the art work and the above picture shows a good sample of her ability. Hal, of course, is the model above.
