However, I paid it my first visit in a Cadillac and that was alBo my ini tial ride in'a Cadillac., / • Do you remember your first auto mobile ride? If you have been on this sphere thirty years 1 dare say you remember it. My own first , car ride was in a Ford. My first rides with a woman chauffeur.were in Durham—; ■when visiting in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Carpenter. Their daughter was said to have been the first woman to drive cars in Durham. D^ you re member when girl chauffeurs were really rare in Tarheelia? It has real-' ly only been a few years since girl drivers became numerous here. In last week’s press I noted that Mr. Carpenter, who, is now a. Council man, is in the limelight in regard to Sunday amusements for Durham. Mr. Carpenter supports the issue of Sun day movies at hours not conflicting with church hours. Mr. Carpenter had the early Ford agency. After a' long time he relin quished this jp favor of the ThCvro in Durham. The daughter mentioned married , the owner of the U-Drive-It system. - / . ' i The Carpenter family belong to the Universalist Church ;and -are an important pillar of it. Did you know the Universalist church has had a con siderable following in Carolina for over a hundred years? When teaching in Lenoir County I was astonished to learn that our com munity there was not Baptist, Metho dist and Presbyterian as .1 had Sup posed all Old North State communi ties were,: Presbyterians there were unknown—Methodists were, little known, and my type of Baptist was not represented. The churches were, Universalist, Disciples, Foot-Wash ing-Baptist and Free Will Baptist. Do you know I lost) something when I lost my silver pen. Take this pen for instance—likes to ask questions, and rake up all sorts of odd dope. Not so the silver pen. That pen had won my esteem, admiration and ad oration. It was a clever little'com panion—made short enough to fit any purse. There t*»s a tiny ring in the end—It had the novel feature of a ‘screw cap which drew the entire writ ing end up into the siLver stem. So even when you dropped it the pen point was never marred. The pure sil ver stem was responsive to the touch —never too cold or too smooth.1 There was an intricate tracery-^a • chased design over the entire length. !I shall probably never entirely forget that pen. It loved to ferret out sunsets, roses, trees, poems, and pure, vib rant heart throbs. Oomihg thru a major, disaster, afcd Striving to regain my equilibriulm I ■ said mentally, “Shall I or shall I not . continue to write my column ?" “Shall write it tHf week-'-or poss it up hard to writS ,now, hard to concert'' , trate—“Oh we^I,” I answered, 'll* jpy silver pen passed thru the holo caust and was s^tvad" I shall Write my column—otherwise, Nix!” Diligent search was made. Buit the pen, the faithful silver pen, whifch had gone With me over thousands of miles and thru myriad varied experiences—the pen which had .pinned down so many things for so many ■ people and so many places—my peft which had al ways gone with me everywhere—was -gone. Furthermore, I didn’t ever know where I could get another silver pen. This one with _ its intricate design— its perfect touch—to which I had be come so attached and so attuned— had been a special gift to’me. and ’ valued, but now it was no more-^and be exempt from columns for a time, therefore, I, by my own ruse, would Well? Why I just compromised by {licking up the first.lame pen at hand — and going on with the thing. All life ig:a compromise, they say. But is it? NO. But there are interims.

T ” . KIWANIANS TALK BEAUTIFICATION J. M. Clark Urges Campaign of 1 Beautification For High way Routes Hn City. ourne to Jonesboro last Friday evening and Was served a most elaborate supper in the school building by the ladies of the Jonesboro Methodist church. Af ter unfinished and new business was transacted the program was . turned over to J. Melvin Clark, Who made a most Interesting and instructive talk on beautifying the lawns and yards of the people of Sanford and Jones boro by putting out and cultivating rye grass and shade trees. Re ex plained how this could be done at ,a small cost." He said the seed could be had very cheap. He stated that rye grass would remain green and fresh all winter and that it was a. beautiful grass for a lawn. Mr. D. B. Teague and Mr. J. E. Brian made talks oh the same subject. C; H. was received as a new member by Mr. Brinn. Mr. S. J. Husketh made a splendid talk on the objects and objectives of Kiwanis. ASK COOPERATION • Dr. F. W. McCracken, Mrs. J. E. Brinn, Mrs. Chas.' L. . Scott and Mr. J, M. Clark met Tuesday night to dis cuss the question of beautifying San ford and Jonesboro. It seems that Jonesboro has already started the work of beautifying her streets by putting out grass, It was decided that Hawkins Avenue, Carthage Street and .the link of No. 60 in the town should be .the first streets improved. The citizens who own the property along these streets will be asked to coop erate in this work by preparing the plots for seed beds and the seed will be furnished them at cost It is esti mated that the seed will' cost the pro perty owners 75 cents to $1.00 each. If the property owners can be induc ed to do this, it is thought that the relief forces can be used to beautify No. 60 and FederaJL-Uighway No. 1 outside of the town.' oyster supper ' ■v • 1 __ Oyster supper will be held at Green wood school house Friday night foe the benefit of the ball teams.

The mill was forc ed to close down as it- could not pay the high wages as required by the code. The laborers went on a strike on account of their wages being re duced. However, matters have beer Adjusted and they have returned tc Friends have learned of the death of Mrs. Golden, of 'Talladega, Ala. which occurred at her home in that place, at 4 o’clock Wednesday morn ing following a stroke of paralysis. She had been in declining health foi a year or more. Her sons, Mr. Currie Golden, of this place, and Rev. W. S, Golden, of Carthage, accompanied by their families left upon learning of her death, for Talladega to attend the funeral, which will be held today. Mrs, Golden, who has visited. Sanford on several occasions, made many friends among, the people of Sanford who held .her huhigh regard, for her Christian virtues. Mr. ‘ Max Heins, whose Chevrolet sedan, was . wrecked by striking a train at the railroad crossing at Mon cur© last Thursday night, and who was brought to the.Saje County Hos pital for treatment, was discharged and returned to hip home Wednesday. He was bruised and cut about the head and body and suffered from internal injuries. Conley Moffitt, who accom panied hirn> was slightly injured, but did not go totthe hospital. On account Of some obstruction Mr. Heins did not see the tran till ha was a few feet from in. Realizing that it would be impossible" to avoid striking the train he probably saved himself and Mr, Moffitt from fatal injury by swerving the ear to one Side, ‘ striking the en gine ef the train. •> DIRECTORS OF BUSINESS ASSOCIATION RETORT ACTIVITIES IN CIVIC AFFAIRS •-----:---,i SANFORD BOYS GEE FOURTH WIN OF i SEASON BY DEFEATING HAMLET 18-13 W ■ ■ ■ •.>*<*/, • V-i • I On Friday last the Yellow Jackets i of Sanford High School vanquished another gridiron enemy of many sea sons standing1 by defeating^the highly rated Hamlet Railroaders on their own ground to the tune of 18-13. That good old fire and zest for which Sanford' teams have been noted for many seasons was slow in making its appearance and it looked bad fof Coach Warrick’s boys. Hamlet suc ceeded in scoring twice before San ford could push over a score. | With the injection of J. W. Stout, | Sanford’s dimunitive quarterback, in to the game, things began to happen. The agerold Statue of Liberty play was again effective when Stout took the ball from King and raced 50 yards for Sanford’s initial score. With six minutes left to play, Curtis Kelly, one of the State’s best high school ends, blocked a Hamlet punt with Gregson recovering on the two-yard line. Theo Conder smashed it over for Sanfords second score. Sscore 13-12, Hamlet. Then came the break. Conder inter cepted a pass and behind beautiful in terference! lugged the ball 50 yards for the filial and winning score of the game. Score, 18.-13, Sanford. Althoiigh'xj) laying against their strongest competition thusi far this season, the local boys proved their ability to come from behind and win. Condor was the man of the afternoon with Kelly playing a brilliant game at end and Gregson playing a good game at tackle. Friday sees Sanford meeting the lads from Greensboro and .much en thusiam and interesting is being mani fesi locally over this game. It is Home Coming Day at high school and a good attendance is expected. Come out and help the boys win another-game, they’re looking for you. PROMINENT MOORE [' WOMAN PASSES ON j !
