Shown here are some of the contestants in the Popular
Baby Contest now being staged in Draper. There are 52 en
trants and the winner is being determined by votes. We are
thankful that we do not have to select the winner for it would
be a difficult task with so many fine children to choose from.
The contest is being sponsored by the Draper P.-T. A.
On April 14th Mrs. Ruth Cox enter
tained nine little guests in honor of the
fourth birthday of her lovely little
daughter, Faye. A beautiful white table
was set with birthday cake, adorned
with four candles. Games were played
and delicious refreshments served. The
little honoree received pretty, useful
gifts. Faye’s daddy. Pvt. Frank Cox,
has just been sent overseas. Many
happy returns, Faye.
Perhaps, we’re not supposed to print
pictures of children, but who could
resist little Sammy, seven months old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Wilmoth? He
certainly is a fine youngster. Mother
and Dad work in the Finishing de
partment, Karastan Mill.

Library Election
The Special Library election to be
held all over the county on May 29,
1945, is of great importance to the peo
ple of our community. Unless the elec
tion is favorable the library will have
to close on July 1, 1945.
Closing the library would be a step
backwards for our community. Our
children, our returning servicemen, and
all who need books to continue their
education or to give them recreation
need books. We can’t afford to have the
library close.
Since this is a special election a
special registration is necessary. Re
gistrars will be at the regular polling
places on Saturday May 5, 12 and 19.
On these days qualified voters may
register. Tuesday, May 29, is election
day.
Take time to register and then to
vote for the library. . This institution
makes the county a better place to live.
Books are weapons in the war of
ideas, and tools for the building of the
peace. Keep the library open. Your
vote will do it.

In the grammar lesson one day the
teacher wrote on the blackboard:
“I didn’t have no fun at the seaside.”
Then she turned around to her pupils
and said to one:
“Roland, how should I correct that?”
“Get a boy friend,” he answered.
