Mr. Lewis said: “It shows the response of the Pdblic to the de cision of the county commission ers to lery a tax sufficient for all purposes, especially debt ser- Tlce. Wilkes county is regarded as being in fine shape now. finan cially with per capita debt—the best yardstick to measure by— ■'.ow and very faTorable as com- tared to other counties in this BCtion of the state. The debt urden is low, there being more ban 42.0D0 to pay less than a million ar.J a half dollars debt. Bonds are being reoffered to the public at prices to yield 2.75 to 2.90 per cent net. The bonds are free of federal arid state income and intangible taxes. They are Issued to refund $267,000 par value bonds bearing interest rates from 4 3-4 to 8 per cent, called for redemption January 1, 1942. The average interest sav ing to the county being, 2.30 on the whole lot sold.’’ Lewis and Hail have for years handled Wilkes county bonds, distributing them to investors all over the state and in many Other states.

And now we’re all looking forward to the Christmas holidays which won’t be long off. ’The seniors are expecting to re ceive their class rings in about a week, and are all waiting anxl ously to get them. There are twenty-fout pupils enrolled in the eleventh grade this year, and we’re hoping that everyone of the twenty-four in. telligent, good looking seniors can graduate wl'h high honors next spring. In our elevsnth grade English class we’re studying poetry and there are several that have an ability to write poems. Here are two poems that were written by two eleventh graders. The first one’s called, DAY DREAMING Adrift o.n a cloud, Floating in a dream. Surrounded by 8 shroud. With memories supreme. Thinking of yesterdays. Of happiness long past. Of treasured minutes That could not last. The other one goes like this: I think that I shall never see, A car as trappy as my old “T”, A car which may in summer heat Have a nest of hen eggs in her seat. Poems are made by fools like me. But only Ford can make a “T’’. We have very in'eresting mov ies given to the student body at Mountain View. They are very ed ucational a.s well as interesting for the pupils. The eighth grade presented an interesting chapel program on Thursday, November 27, on “How Important Safety is in Our Ev eryday Life.
