'WAT BACK WHEN
by Jaaaa*
FORMER MAYOR WAS A SONG
WRITER
THERE were twelve children in
our family and it was necessary
to have a pretty strict rule about
being reasonably quiet in the house
and at the dinner table. My father
repeated so often, "Children are to
be seen and not heard" or "Silence
is golden" that just to think of those
old adages brings back the echo of
his voice. I can't agree with the
principle of those sayings. Child
dren who are encouraged to join in
the conversatipn are likely to have
more self-confidence and to be more
locial minded. In some cases, their
very talkativeness may be golden.
Take Jimmy Walker for instance: i
James John Walker, who later be- j
came mayor of New York City and
was one of the most popular men
ever to hold that office, was born
in New York's Greenwich Village
in 1881. ? When still a very small
boy, he was nick-named "Jimmy
Talker" because he could not be :
kept quiet. His father was run
ning for alderman at one time,
and Jimmy was sent to explain that |
he could not be present at a polit
ical rally because of illness. The
crowd called for a speech from
the young boy, and he did so well
that his father was elected.
Jimmy Walker went to school in
New York City, and studied law;
but for a while it looked as though
he might be a professional sonf
writer instead of a lawyer or a
politician. He wrote several song!
which were published and made a
national hit by composing "Wit
You Love Me in December As Yot
Bid in May?" None of his othei
songs enjoyed the popularity of this
one, however, and Jimmy decided
upon a more conventional career.
He went to work as a clerk for
the Union Surety Guarantee com
pany and with his earnings re
turned to law school.* He estab
lished a fine law practice, and be
came more and more prominent
in politics. In 1925, he was elected
mayor of New York City and en
joyed more mass popularity than
any mayor of recent times has
known there
MARY GIPTOX DEAD
Miss Mary Gupton better known
as "Aunt Polly," died at her home
June 7, 1938.
Aunt Polly has been confined to
her bed since February 13, 1936.
She spent many lonely days, but
bore her sufferings and troubles
with a smile. She was loved by
every one who knew her because
of her tender feeling and kindness <
to every one whom she came in
contact.
She leaves to morn her loss, one
brother. Mr. I. R. Gupton. and a
number of Nephew's and Nieces, j
along with a host of friends.
She was born June 22, 1864,
and lived to be 7 4 years of age.
She joined Sandy Creek Baptist
Church in early life, and was a
faithful member until confined to
her bed.
The floral tribute was especially
beautiful. The flower girls were:

Fire, Water and Sound Spectacle
For New York World's Fair 1939
NEW YORK. ? An artist's sketch of the inferno of water, fire,
rotor, sound and fireworks to be produced nightly over Meadow
Lake in the Amusement Zone of the $150,000,000 New York World'*
Fair 1939. The impossible, it is announced, has been achieved with
the perfection of water nozzles and gas burners that will permit in
terplay of fountain jets and flames 150 feet high. The production
will be presented from unique barges already under construction
Hundreds of water nozzles, each backed by the pumping ?-apacit> <
of a modern fire engine, and almost as many gas burners, up to 24
inch diameter, will be mounted on their respective barges, as will
sound equipment and fireworks receptacles. The spectacle is de
scribed at Fair headquarters as involving tomorrow's practical ap
plication of science in the nearest'approach to chaos that man ca
contrive for purposes of entertainment. A more formal even
equally as mystifying and beautiful, will be. presented over tt
lagoon in the fair's $60,000,000 Central Mall.

Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION: What are the re
quirements of a well-planned home
wiring system?
ANSWER: Those farm families
1 having power lines run into their
i homes for the first time should
see that the wiring system pro
j vides for comfortable lighting,
conveniently located switches, and
a sufficient number of well-placed
service out'lets adequately wired
and correctly fused. Extension
Circular No. 213, "Wiring and
Lighting the Farm Home", may
be obtained free from the Agri
cultural Editor at State College.
QUESTION: What is the effect
of fertilization on pastures?
ANSWER: An occasional applic
ation of lime, .phosphate, and poi
ash to the pasture will encourage
the growth of the mos' desirable
pasture plants such as white clov
er and blue gras9. These plants
prolong the grazing period by pro
ducing both early and late graz
ing. As they or other good pasture
plants increase in number, the less
desirable ones will be crowded
out. Eventually this soil treatment
will result in the production of an
abundant' succulent pasture growth
which has a much higher mineral
and protein content than is found
in ordinary pasture plants.
QUESTION: When will Farm
and Home Week be held this sum
mer?
ANSWER: This annua) conven
tion for farmers and farm women
will take place at State College
August 1-5. Extension Service of
ficials are now making plans to
produce a meeting Miat is. both
educational and entertaining.
Tours of Raleigh. Duke University,
and the University of North Caro
lina will be available to those at
tending. In addition, there will bs
motion pictures, y, . oup singing, re
crcat'ion. ar;d other ? litortainment.
Special classes in various farm and
home subjects will lie taught by
State College specialists.

These brewers ask, with all thoughtful
citizens, for adequate enforcement of existing .
laws . . . to close outlets operating illegally
...to prevent the sale of beer to minors . . ,
or after legal hours ... or to persons who
