' .1 MANNA AND GODPARENTS The Sprint Season of '73 hat been mm than a little capricious with temperature ranging from happy medium to torrid midsummer heights, punctuated b y intermittent rain-gales in between to re tard the planting of early vegetable gardens. Aside from the whimsical weather, the hazard of wages versus the family breadbas ket have taken precedence over the Watergate trial, plight of Tuacarora Indiana, the ECU Med School people are more deeply concerned about the cost of onions and cabbage nevertheless, there has been an upsurge of party making this spring: Deanna Marie Pratt the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pratt, reacnea roe npe wiu 1 year old the other day, and a party was given in honor of this noteworthy anniver sary. The party iara made to order with the younger-set in mind; but, it turned out that Deanna was hostess for an elated group of oldest erg borderline senior citi zens. You see, Deanna's after the Christening Ceremony Dinner Party was made of ance were: Miss Annie M. Dunigan, Mra. Boxley and the new lull in Iter life, Mr. Cur rie; Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jones; Mr. and Mrs. George B. Russ; Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. The weekly Prayer Meet ing services were conducted by the Union Baptist Dorcas Class during the month of Anril. A reading of the at tendance report by Deacon Willie Hooker, revealed that the meetings were well at tended and thoroughly en joyed by overyone. Perhaps the Dorcas Class has opened the door and the sunlight of hope was wafted down upon what is usually a drowsy midweek meeting.

Perhaps the party of the month was sponsored by ReV. Napoleon B. Sanders and Co workers: A Skating Party held' at the Wellon Village Skating Rink. "Miss Pheobe" conveyed a rather subdued party of 86 person to the area. Another family affair: The Abner Ma sons; Pratts, Partins, Russes, etc,;- naturally the children were subdued on the bus, however, the action began while they were trying on their skates. You wouldn't be lieve folk could have so much fun picking themselves up off a cement floor. But no mat ter the traumatic upBJ landing on cushionless bot toms, there was fun on that tsar Rink. As usual the girls took the spotlight. Surprisingly enough, we have some better than average girl skaters. And for two hours we watch ed the experienced skaters, those aspiring to become sea soned skaters and the rieo phytes (greenhorns, twist and swirl to the tempo of the music and the multi-colored spotlights; and, thrill with bold, confident skaters; cringe with pity for the tim id, unsure skaters as they fell gracefully; or groan with the beginners who dtft( IP! enough to null gently.'

Russ Jl! a i1 "Jeff I toy kins!" Miss Madie squealed with joy when she turned and faced her old school mate. He was tall 'n dark 'n handsome 'n everything nice. Miss Madie was glad to see the dapper, nattily dressed, smiling man but she was happier still because she wasn't looking bad herself. "Madie, you're a sight for the sore eyes. You look good girl!" His voice was easy on they ears and she loved having his words come down to her. She even moved in closer to the tall, smiling man. "Jeff you ain't changed one bit--you're the same cute jiver you were in school." Miss Madie actually giggled. Jeff didn't care about being called a "cute jiver" but, for now, he over looked the jolt to his prodigious pride. Debo nair would have been a more appropriate description of his affable personality, but know ing Madie Perkins from the old days, he knew de bonne grace was a stranger to her. Any one who would moke a right and a wrong copy of the State examination for high school seniors and let him copy the wrong exam, natural ly, left much to be desired. In a honied voice he asked, "do you remember the fun we had at Mrs. Rogers' house when she gave a Band Box Party for the Camp Fire Girls?" Miss Madie blushed from the tips of her toes to the tip of her flaring nostrils; "Jeff Boykins, your memory is as sharp as ever. Do you re-call how I cut you down in Miss Sagwar's Spelling Bee Con test?" "Jeff chuckled bee. ae he had nothing better to do, "the word was 'Missi-ssi--pp-i." Even now, Jeff winced from the low blow to his ego when Madie sucked through her teeth when she passed him on her way to the head of the class. Miss Madie wished now, as fervently as she had long ago, that she hadn't robbed Jeff of the coveted Spelling Bee Prize. When she was able to speak, her words were tear streaked; "Jeff, I really wanted to cut you down to a smaller size that ady - you were such a boastful, proud, cussed young man-I wanted to hurt you something awful. But since that time, I have wished that I had left the winning to you." "You were always a smart student, Madie." "Smart at the wrong time, Jeff. Smart at book learning? Yes. I have often times won dered what would have happen ed between us if I had missed '" the word and you would have won the blue ribbon and the bag of jelly-beans." Jeffs laughter wasn't full of mirth, but there was a quali ty of good humor in its ring that lifted the pall from the summer breeze; "I would have made you sicker than you made me." His eyes rested softly upon her up turned chin and she squirme d uncomforta bly; her knees started knock ing. And in a demurring voice she begged to be excused. "Jeff, I'm in a powerful hurry it's been real nice seeing you again, but I must run. By the way, how's th' madam?" Jeff caught his breath and , held it for a moment; "Helen i passed five years ago, come next July 9th." "I'm sorry, Jeff. I had no dreams that Helen Tonkins had made her peace with her Maker. "Don't sound so sad, we had a wonderful life together then suddenly the thread of her radiantly beautiful life was snapped and she was no longer my vital force. I still listen for her laughter, feel her tiny, soft hand in mine ns we walk home from a party or go for an afternoon stroll." "And you didn't wish me bad-luck when I beat you spelling or found twice as many eggs as you did on the Easter egg hunts:" She was anxious to clear the air of Jeffs creepy sentiment. Jeff chuckled, "Madie Per kins, you're one for the road." "Yes, 'n if I don't hit th' road I'll be needing a blood transfusion." "Who is he, Madie? An old flame that I didn't know about?" "Away with you and your monkey-shines." She twitter ed. "You're one for the road, Madie." His voice was low and husky. "You don't have to whisper Has Good Thing Going At the lull Exchange John Thompson, Manager of North Carolina Auto Ex change, thinks he has a good thing going for people who want to buy or sell a car. "A car owner who wants to sell, leaves his car here on the lot and we sell it for him," Thompson says. "We act as his agent. It works a lot like real estate. That way we are working for the people. We are selling over ninety per cent of the cars left with us, and on the average we only take about ten days." "We have a good thing going for the people who want to buy a car, too'. These cars are checked thoroughly to make sure that they are in good shape. We have local cars, we have the service records and you can call the previous owners to make sure there isn't something wrong that you don't know about." "So far," Thompson re ported, "we are averaging about one car per day, and we have plans to open lots in other cities in North Carolina in the near future. I'm free as a bird." "Is he that old?"
