THE GLEANER
QRAHAM, N. C., SEPT. 30, 1937
? Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Stri
go announce the birth or a son ou
last Friday at Clinic Hospital,
Greensboro. Mrs. Strigo was the
forner Miss Jean Benson of that
city:
? Duke took V. P. I. for a
"ride" last Saturday night at
tireeusboro ? 25 to 0. Its all
mighty interesting which of the
home teams are winning, vica
versa it is otherwise.
? This is equinoctial weather,
cool aud calling for heat in hom
<-s. Immediately ou the heels of
the days becoming lunger thau
the uighis, the cooler weather set
iu. Those clamoring for cooler
weather should lie well pleased.
? Maj. Copelaud is recovering
from au injury to a leg, suffered
when making au an-est some three
weeks ago. He hub been confined
to bis home, but expects to be
out this week, lie is reported to
have been kicked, but insead he
hurt it in a tussle in making an
arrest.
? It was interesting to watch
the fans rolling toward Chapel
Hill last Saturday for the game
between Univ. N. C. and Univ.
S. C. was played to a tie, 13 to
13. Passing the stop light near
our shop at the rate of of 15 per
minute soon mounts into big
numbers.
? Elon is taking 'em straight
on the gridiron. A week ago last
Saturday the Elon Christians in
vaded Virginia and took the game
from V. M.I. 12 to 6, and again
last Saturday at Emory, Va., won
from Emory aud Henry 24 to 0
Next Saturday night, Oct. 2nd,
Elon and Davis-Elkins will cla^h
in Greensboro. This is front page
matter the Elou team is produc
ing.
? A special term of Alvuance
Superior Court for the trial of
criminal cases will conveue next
Monday with Judge Hoy le Sink
presiding. There are about 50
cases calendered for he&riue at
this term, including three for
murder and two for rape. The
largeness of the docket is due in
large part ou account of cases
continued at former terms. If
itie inuraer and rape cases go to
trial there will be little time to
dispose of other cases.
? About this time o'year in the
by-gone years, when merchants
were getting in their stocks of fall
and winter goods, empty goods
boxes were to be seen piled high
in front of the storos. That has
changed like other things. The
L'oods now come in cartons, and
big, heavy pasteboard boxes
W hi te pine of good quality was
used to make goods boxes. Now
the paper mills grind up any sort
of wood into pulp out of which
boxes are made, and the good
timber is saved for other pur
poses.

Scouting? A Pioneer Honored
There is an old adaue, practi
cal, bat uot especially potical, j
that ruus: "Keeping everlasting
ly at it brings success," o( course,
if going in the right direction.
This is by way of preface to
some allusions to Lon G. Turner, ;
lately decorated as Boy Scout j
Council Commissioner. We do I
not kuow much about Scouting ?
have read the Scout pledge, ?ud
are constrained to believe that a
boy who takes the pledge and
lives up to it will not fall far short
of good citizenship.
Back before the World War
and during, Lon G. Turner lived
in Graham and was an enthusias
tic Scout ? has kept "everlasting
ly at it." He was the prime
mover in the organization of the
Scouts in Graham, the first in the
county. Under all conditions the
Scouts with their Leader leading,
they did numerous good and help
ful turns. If someone was with
out wood for fire in cold weather
they would go to the woods, cut
and deliver the wood. If some one
had been sick and unable to har
vest) his crop, they did it for him.
The catalogue of helpful things
they did is a long one.
Lon came to Graham in his
early teens. H i s parents had
panned on and be made his home
with relatives here. His first job
was in the Uieaner printing office,
and he stayed ou it almost twenty
years. It is remembered he once
tried other work, but not for
long. He had ink on bis fingers
aud it wouldn't was|> off. For
almost twenty more years he has
been a printer in Burlington and
has made himself an indispensi
ble helper in the Daily Times
News shop.
While living here he married a
fine girl, Miss Ida Porterfield,
who has been his helpful, faith
ful yoke-mate in sickness and in
health.
It was last Friday night at a
banquet in Burlington that Lon
G. Turner, in an appropriate cer
mony, had pinned upon him the
badge of honor, designating the
honor won after long years of fi
delity, aud ,it was his wife who
proudly pinued on the badge.
Our congratulations.

olina, which closed Tuesday night
with announcement of the win
ners.
The contest was open to beau

Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.
In addition to the silver plaque
which is grand award Miss Pleas
ants, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
A. E. Pleasants, 912 Silver Ave
nue, is being awarded a scholar
ship by "The Great Vernon,"
who was one of the judges, and
plans to go to Rochester, N. Y., in

Lock of Hair for Mourners
At elaborate funerals in Seven- I
teenth-century America, a mourn
ing brooch, containing a lock of
hair of the deceased, was usually
presented to every woman mourn
er, says a correspondent in Collier's
Weekly. When a late lamented gen
tleman was bald or had an insuffi
cient quantity of hair to fill several
hundred brooches, men relatives
and friends were called upon to
meet the emergency.
Origin of Irish People
When the Romans under Caesar
invaded Britain 55 B. C., they found
the southern half of the island oc
cupied by a tribe of the Cymric
Celts, a people descended from the
Belgic Gauls, who had crossed ov
er to the island from the mainland
opposite. These people were called
Britons. A tribe of similar origin,
the Caledonians, inhabited the
northern half of the island, and stiQ
another occupied the adjoining is
land of Ireland, then called Scotia,
whence its inhabitants were known
by the name of Scots. In their own
tongue, however, says a correspond
ent in the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
they called their island Eri, and
themselves Erse, from which it has
been supposed that they were orig
inally descended from wanderers
from a band of the Spanish or Ibe
rian Gauls. In the Third century
the Irish Scots invaded northern
Caledonia and largely gained pos
session of the country. Thus the
Irish and the Scotch are closely al
lied in origin.
TRAIN WOMEN FOR
FASHION CAREERS
Object of Latest Entrant in the
Field of Learning.
New York.? A achool lor fashion
careers is the latest institution to
enter the field of higher learning.
Tobe and Julia Coburn, prominent
fashion authorities, will head the
new school, supported by a faculty
of men and women of prominence
in fashion teaching, editing, adver
tising, manufacturing and retailing.
The first semester will begin Sep
tember 13, with one and two-year
courses of intensive training for the
fashion field planned for women at
least twenty-one years old.
It was explained that careers in
fashion are becoming the best paid
1 and most agreeable careers open to
women at this time. The woman
employed by a fashion retailer or
manufacturer or as a fashion edi
tor, has not only large earning pow
er, but her office hours coincide
with the office hours of her hus
band, and the hours when her chil
dren are at school. There has been
much public interest in the high sal
aries paid to these women, several
of whom are now presidents or vice
presidents of large Fifth avenue
stores, and who exert tremendous
influence on fashion here and
abroad.
The intensive training supplied by
the school for fashion careers is de
signed to shorten the period of ap
prenticeship during which a girl has
been Employed as a saleswoman or
secretary, and to pave the way to
an executive position while she is
still young.
Demonstrations in which TVA
triple superphosphate is being
used are showing good results in
Rockingham county.
Randolph county has set a new
record for lespedeza plantings this
year, with farmers seeding 40,
000 acres.
Although peanut harvesting has
just begnn, prospects look favor
able for a high yield of good qual
ity goobers in Edgecombe connty
this fall.
