When times net really good once
nore I’m going to do absolutely notn
ng for all of one afternoon, and 1 m
going to spend a whole quarter foW
shly.
The youngest member of our family
vas for a good while afflicted with
varts on his hands. Mr. Daniel told
ne that hydrochloric acid would re
■love the warts, and showed me how
to apply it with a bit of cotton wrap
ed round a toothpick, dipped into thi
cid and touched to the wart without
urting the skin around it. I bought
ive cents worth of the acid and used
ut little over half of it in removing
2 warts of various shapes an,l sizes
But isn’t it queer.how you never know
hen a wart goes away ?
You worry over them for ever s<
,ng—and then, all at once, you real
s' that they’re not there any more
.ml it is always a surprise.
Two small boys in our town recent
started out with hoes and then
icks to hunt doodle-bugs. 1 heir in
entions were good, though th-.-ii
luipment was wrong. Doodle-bug?
re called up from their homes in j
ie ground by chanting a lonesome
iunding rhyme, ai. * any child who
as never had the fun of calling them
as missed some legitimate tun
ioodle-bugs were one of the profound i
lysteries of my childhood; and n
..mount of explaining that they come i
hen called because the vibrations j
aused by the caller’s voice make the
jg think food has been snared quite
■nvinced me. And it was a bit of
disappointment to learn that in
om six months to three years, tie
ending upon the food they secure, a I
todle-bug changes into a winged in-;
ct. Some mysteries are more de ,
yhtful unexplained.
Mrs. McGuire has put out one huo
ed red tulip bulbs in the yard at
-r place. Those of us who pass that
ay often have something pleasant to
,k forward to for next spring.
Are the colorings of autumn foliagi
illy more beautiful than usual this,
ar. or is it my imagination that
akes it seem so?
The thankfulness that must be in
ccd by logic and by comparing oui
• with that of others less fortunate.
, ms to me ungrateful gratitude at
st; but it is probably better than
ne. And there are so many degree
-want and dire need around us the ,
ivs that few of us can fail to Ltm
• ~se whose circumstances are worn
an oui' own. The real test of oui
■.latitude will be found in what v,
ave done or will do for these.
Once at Morehead City I was plan
ning for a box to be sent by the Sun- j
1,,-am Band to our Orphanage. There
, ame to me a child who had heard my
plea for the orphans. She handed nu
20 cents to be used to buy something ,
fi,r the box. 1 knew she has so little ,
for herself that I felt she was giving |
too much—and I wondered where she
had gotten the money. She explained j
that she had been saving for weeks t< |
buy herself some mittens. Knowing
she ran errands for the family. I sug
jgeste<l that perhaps she should buy
the gloves for herself. But she proud
ly showed me that the sleeves of hei
Lid wrap (that had belonged to some
one else first) were long enough tc
allow her to slip her bands up in thr
.leeves, if she crooked her elbows, and
that this would keep her hands s< j
nearly warm that she would nevei ,
miss mittens.
1 sent the money on. to her delight
and even after twenty years it warms
my heart to remember such gener
osity.

THE RECORD, Zebulon, Wake County, N. C.. November 25, 1932
The Record's Commendation
* No other agency for the care of orphan children in North Carolina is
doing a finer piece of business than the Children’s Home Society, Green -
t boro, under superintendency of Mr. John J. Phenix. This society has
, placed thousands of children in good homes through the past years and at
the lowest possible cost.
Among children placed in this section ot Wake county are: one by
11 Miss Pattie Lee, one by Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Talton, one by Mr. and Mrs.
W. A. Joyner. We know thest people well and no child has a better home
than these little “foundlings.” We commend their examnle io itlv-r
homes which God has not already blessed with little children.
We hope the people in this community, when making their Thanks
* giving otfering for orphan children will not forget the Children’s Home
v in Greensboro, N. C.
Wait a minute, folks, don’t you see me here?
I’m just a lonesome little kid, with nuthin’ much to say;
Don’t want to beg for nuthin’—please get that good and clear.
But Pvc got a lot of things I want to give away.
I’ve got a wiggly body- that is warm and soft to hold;
I’ve got a heart plum full of love, and none to spend it on;
Some folks, you know’, say little boys are worth their weight in gold;
I want a Dad and Mother—and I ain’t got none!
I bet you’d be the gladest if you’d only take me home;
You don’t know halt the things I’d do, or half what I could be.
) I’d give me—every bit—to you, if you’d let me come,
Say ain’t there anybody that wants a little boy like me?
If yours is a childless home, make application to this Society for
one of our boys or gilds and make this a real Christmas.
