Lower Route Two pro vides the school bus a hazard of very precarious Toads at all timesL and during the recent sleet and slf\ this road presented a serious danger to every child in every crowded bus. Many schools prevented danger by closing earliir for the holidays and . thereby put the parents minds - at base to say nothing of -saving the county a sizeable sum by parking the busses at a-time when the roads would shake most any vehicle r. to pieces. ' ' How many parents know that chil dren, many in ragged shoes, and. many afflicted with asthma and oth er diseases are forced to go outside in all weather for their drinking wa ter at some schools, while the indoor fountains are reserved for use of the teachers only.

As the Christmas season is here, mes mind usually fills with thoughts end appreciation of loved ones and friends. As I He in my bed in the Lee Coun ty Hospital, where I have been since the County Home was burned,October 18th, my heart' fills with apprecia tion of the friendship and kind thoughtfulness of the good people who are employed .in this institution. Every employee from the lowest to the highest seems to be interested in my candition, and anxious to iml« my suffering lighter. There are so many little things which do not cost any money but certainly do make one more cheerful and filled with a deter mination to face one's troubles more hopefully. I do not believe the hos pital people have overlooked a single one of these little things. I feel that I want to publicly acknowledge my appreciation of these good people end their merciful work. I also wish to ■ thank the County Commissioners for maHog ft possible for mo to stay in the hospital, while the county home is being rebuilt. I fed that due to the nourishing food and kind treatment that I have made a long step towards regaining my health. I assure you I am most grateful.

Beds I should be sowed' in new places where j tobacco has not beet grown before, l and where there is no drainage or I surface water from a tobacco field. If it is necessary to'use old beds vtfey should be thoroughly burned and new poles or boards should be put in around them.

Throughout all this transition period, [however, one doll, drab spot on the (ear has remained. That has been .the floor mat. [ The B. F. Goodrich Company, Ak ron, O., now announces that color has triumphed even here-and that it is making colored robber floor matai available to the public.for the first time. | . Designated as Cromatex, these mats are made by an exclusive pro jcess by which file color is impreg nated in the robber. 1 Color design is brown, mottled with silver. This combination was decided on because it harmonises with any upholstery. The mats are made in five sizes, either all-robber, or with felt backs so that they can be tailored to fit any size or make of car. ' They are equally satisfac tory for. both front and rear compart ments. Two sadr are specially designed for Fords and Chevrolet^ with cut outs punched so they can be readily fitted.

"Homespun Verse,” is the description Prof. Pago gives of his book, winch deals with folks, legends, character sketches and nature lyrics growing out off his own country. The author, who inspired Paul Green and started him working in drama and short story, has many characterisa tions of the old Scotch settlers around Fayetteville and the Upper Cape Fear .reviving much interesting legendary material of a rapidly van- J ishing era. Another section of theI book contains many original songs . of the old Southern negro, growing j out .of his superstition and expert, ence, as Mr. Page has gathered j than. The trader wilt find a map I of the section showing the old Ral- j agh-Fayetterille State road, and, many points of interest dealt with in I the volume such as Old Bluff church, I the Gypsy Pine, and Avarasboro. •The book is beautifully bound in buckran and makes an attractive present.

In ICaswell Swunty, one alert- host fanner used the occasion to teach the | principles of a *»ew farm practice. As | County Agent H- I* Seagrove told jthe story to- Extension Forester R i W.

V j The host soon showed1 them how each blazed tree was a cull which had been crippled in some way or was ; diseased bf overcrowded. This caus ed a few caustic remarks but the men went to work wrtth a will mid as the day wore to'a .Hose the owner soon had a supply of wood for his stove, fireplaice and tobacco ham. All of the Wood came from, cull tpees. The / -(and, desirable timber trees were left standing. 'As the men looked hack over their work they caught the vision of a new farm practice ufnolding before their eyes and one said, “Why,, it’ajj like thinning out corn and just as reasonable.” WHO’LL FEED THE BIRDS, Nature lovers throughout the east ern and northern states are/ worried over the devastation which threatens Wild birds through the exceptional extent of this winter’s snowfall. They have acted promptly to counteract the danger. Without much blowing of trumpets, they have launched a nation wide “Feed th*:.- Bird’s" movement, under th# leadership of Thomas H. Beck, chairman of the Connecticut State Board of Fisheries and Game. Cooperation of 40,000 R- F. D. postmen have enlisted for the deliv ery of grain to • the most suitable feeding place*. S i « “The best bittf food under present conditions,” say* Mr. Beck, “is the grain known in /food stores as tailings and sweepings,”.itfiich can be purch ased u, 100 pound baga at about a 9-AJgmnd^the Jowest price in years. Arty pobnC Bpiriteti citizen who wished Jo participate in this campaign to save the nation's bird life may purchase a bag of this grain and address H to ‘Mr. mid Mrs. Henry Bird,’ in care of Rural Carrier R. F.D., adding the' number of one of the rural routes in the neighborhood. The rural carrier will then see that the grain is emptied in suitably sheltered spots where the birds can readily find it.” Packages pf anywhere from five lbs. upwards may be sent io "Mr. and Mrs. Hungry Bird" by this method, with the UBual parcel postage attached. In Connecticut the movement is al ready assured of complete success, thanks to the leadership of 69 sports men’s dubs. In other states it will have the cooperation of the Boy Scout organizations, the 4:H Clubs, game dubs, and members of the Audubon Societies. Dr. Thomas Gilbert Par site, president of the National Asso ciation of Audubon Societies, has off ered the assistance at bis entire mem bership. Mr. Bede and leadere . of the move ment make it clear ffi#t they are not suggesting that find for the birds should in any was) he permitted to in terfere with food for human beings. “Unemployment relief and necessary dtaritable enterprises must obviously take precedence at this time,” says Mr. Beck. “But there are surelyfhous ends of nature lovers who will wish k' lS3s;: gr* CARAJA1 COFFEE,, one pound cans. 32e Post BEAN FLAKES, package, 10« Watauga KRAUT, packed la N.

'• Although definite figures are not available, it is known that Director Edmund Goulding had under his au* pervision the greatest aggregationof taajor stars ever assembled before • motion picture camera as a picture cast. What they totalled in salaries: cannot be learned, but unofficial esti mates agree they outweighed any other talent outlay on record. ; ■t As Grusinskaya, the Russian bal lerina, there is Greta Garbo, whose last picture, “Mata Hari,”t broke box office records throughout the. coun try. Paired with her* as Baron von ^jaigera, who emters her room to steal jewels but remains to fall in love, is John Barrymore, recognized as the foremost romantic actor of the Ameri can stage and screen. . Joan Crawford, another breaker of box-office records, is cast !asF)aera rachen, the sex-appealing stenogra pher who finds that happiness and tragedy often go hand in hand. "Wal lace Berry essays the most dramatic role of his career as Preysing, the militaristic industrial magnate who trifles with dishonesty and unfaith-, fulness with dire consequences. '' Lionel Barrymore, awarded last year’s acting trophy from the .Aca demy) of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, has the grand characteriza tion of Kringelein, a humdrum factory Clerk who registers at the Grand Ho tel to enjoy a brief period of splen dor before ht\ dies.
