^ A dentist is the only fellow
we know of who finds it profit
able to look down in the mouth.
What Selma needs is a few
less people trying to tell us
what we need.
A farmer at least has this
advantage.- He is never docked
when he is late for work.
Middle-age is the time when
the average man is going to be
gin saving next month.
The good old days around
Selma were those when the
women folks used more baking
powder than face powder.
We have Germany to thank
for two of the best-known dogs
in the world—the police (log
and the hot dog.
Little did our grandparent
think the day would ever come
when girls would do any paint
ing except on china.
The tariff has been increased
on pocketsbooks, but then pock
et books are something we can
get along without.
Most every girl is positive
that she would make a good
mach for the man with money
to burn.
Anyone can give advice, but
the best advice we can give is
never, to start anythin;
can’t stop.
you
If a man has an auto it
doesn’t prove that he has
money. It only proves that he
had monev.
Being on the right track is
correct, but if you just stop
there you’re apt to get run
over.
A loyal American is one who
gets mad when a foreigner
cusses the same institution he
cusses.
Who can remember when
Hood’s Sarsaparilla or St. Ja
cob’s Oil would paint a farmer's
bam just to put their sign on
it?
A man prepares against old
age by laying up money and
creating an estate, a woman by
dieting and more beauty treat
ments.
Reading that a prehistoric
skeleton has been found with
its legs wrapped around its neck
one fellow says he never knew
that they had rumble seats back
in the^arly days.
Speaking of absent-minded
ness, how about the .young
physician who in courting a girl
forgot and charged her two dol
lars a visit?
Selma is ju.stly proud of the' five
young girls who have recently re
turned from college with their grad
uation diplomas. They are Misses
Mary Evelyn Parker and Eunice
Temple who graduated from N. C.
C. W., Greensboro, N. C.; Miss Eliza
beth Temple from Limesto-ne College,
Gaffney, S. C., and Misses Mary
Parker and Hazel Brown, from E. C.
T. C., Greenville, N. C.
Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Temple are
the proud parents of three recent
graduates, J. P. Temple, Jr., from
Selma High School, in addition to
the two sisters named above.
PARENT-TEACHER WORK
SHOWS TWO YEARS OF
STEADY GROWTH HERE
Since the organization of the Sel
ma Parent-Teacher Association two
years ago, its growth has been
steady and its achievement construc
tive. At 'all times its influence has
been felt and valued in the school
and community. The organization
was most fortunate in its beginning
in having one so faithful and so
capable as was Mrs. G. M. Norwood,
its first President. Under her di
rection the Association not only grew
and became a well organized parent
teacher association, but it carried
through programms of service all in
the interest of the child that re
sulted in a better school and a better
coirgnunity. Among numerous worth
while things accomplished during
Mrs. Norwood’s administration might
be mentioned, the Tonsil-Adnoid
clinic conducted by Dr. Wade H.
Atkinson of Washington, D. C., and
resulting in untold benefit to chil
dren all over the County. This was
sponsored by the Selma P.-T. A.
and held at the Selma school build
ing. The presentation to the school,
funds, raised by various means to
aid materially in the purchase of the
handsome curtain and stage equip
ment.
Mrs. Norwood was re-elected for
the second year, but on account of
the pr,es.s of other duties she had to
resign and Mrs. E. V. Woodard was
made President in her stead. Mrs.
Woodard entered the work with en
thusiasm and with ..Jier co-workers
has labored untiringly in the interest
of the children, the school and the
community. There has been mani
fested on the part of parents and
teachers a commendable co-operation
and support in all of its programs
and undertakings.
Among numerous projects which
have been carried to successful com
pletion sponsored by the P.-T. A.
this year the following: 'Assisted
with the Dental Clinic conducted by
Drs. Branch and Woodard and which
lasted 4 weeks, furnished 4 assistants
each day from association, 24 gr^de
mothers were appointed for first
time. An interesting Founder’s Day
program and beautiful pageant was
given in February. Brought Mrs.
J. L. Emmanuel of Raleigh for talk
to grade mothers. Dr. Emest
Branch gave lecture on “The Teeth”
showing slides at January meeting
to large audience, 4th, 5th and 6th
grades gave play proceeds of which
was given to association. Mrs. Bueck
coached a play in April, “A For
tunate Calamity,” the proceeds
-swelling the funds of the associa
tion. A flower selling contest proved
interesting and. profitable. Dr. J.
Henry Highsmith gave a lecture at
the May meeting. Some of the
members of the association served
a„ dinner to a group of Textile man
ufacturers in May, thereby bringing
the amount raised during the year
to about $150.
To the grade having most parents
present for the entire school year a
picture “The Gleaners,” was given.
Miss Marrison’s 6th grade received
this.
The following officers were unani
mously elected for the ensuing year:
Pres. Mrs. E. V. Woodard, vice-pres.
Mrs. William Creech, secretary Miss
Mary Neal Clement, Treasurer, Mrs.
W. T. Woodard.
(By M. L. STANCIL)
The June Primary was a pretty good thing, no doubt.
Because it afforded a chance to try the new law out;
But many Republicans did not care to participate.
Because they had no special choice in their candidate:
Wherever they have, tried the genuine Australian law.
They say it' is the best system that they ever saw;
But while we don’t have the whole thing complete.
We believe it will be harder for any one to cheat.
One thing about the law that should cause no regrets.
The Registrar must account for every ticket he gets;
And if a voter spoils a ballot in casting his vote.
May get another, but not over three, the lawmakers wrote.
Each voter’s ticket is folded and numbered on its face.
Which helps the electio-n officials to keep perfect trace;
When the ballot returns v/e can at its number look,
To see if it corresponds with the number on the book.
Then we take our scissors and give the ticket a whack.
While the voter fears his man is cut thru thte back;
One fellow unfolded his ballot to see what we had done,
But found no harm had been accorded to his favorite son.
With these numbers” in ■ one box, the ballots in another.
You can no longer identify one by looking at the other.
When the balloting is over these numbers are void.
So the law says they must be immediately destroyed.
You can go into a booth where no one is looking on
Where you can vote as you pray all the while you’re gone;
And if we would do more praying while voting for men.
There would be fewer law breakers to go to the pen.
Were we to spend as much effort for the salvation of souls.
As we do to get voters to come out to the polls.
Just for a single day throughout the whole land.
The devil and all his hosts would have to disband.
