v% Babblin' About Hosiery, Rams, and Centennial THE WHOLE HOSE AND NOTHING BUT "I get the word you were up bright and much to early last Monday ymorning. "Right and double right ... 1 dropped out to see the beginning production at the new Burling ton Industries plant," I ti ely informed Ignatius O 'Toole, the leprechaun world's contribution to the literary stage of grass loots reporting. "Seems like they've got some pretty regular top men out there from what I hear," Iggy related, "and folks are already saying they're assets to this community, even though thy've only been here a short time." "That's what it takes to put the capital 'P' in progress," I waxed ' philosophically. "New faces mean new ideas and new ideas mean ? well, you get the idea." "But right now the only thing those fellows are interestd in is hosiery." I went on working. "Now me, I'd be more interested in what goes in the hosiery," de cided Ignatius O 'Toole, lepre chaun-reporter, who incidentally is single. ? * ? SOME ODDS AND ENDS NOW ENDING John J. Wrinn, verbose assis tant county agent, whose courtly manner took on added signifi cance last week, a few days back was telling a bunch of the boys about a ranj up Highlands way that committed suicide after hearing the hit song, "There'll Never Be Another You." And in this vein, another as sistant agent. Bob McNeil, com pounded brother Wrinn's felony by swearing this same ram's bro ther ran off a cliff because he didn't see the U-turn. Just the other day I discovered the true meaning of frustration j ? all three of my ball-point pens ran out of ink, and at the same | time! That "water dowser"' who was in Highlands a few week* back to conjure up some well sites gave me a million dollar idea for, i you guessed it, making a million dollars. I've discovered through research over the past several years that the Brady family has a very unique vehicle. Everytime, without fail, when I have my car washed it rains, real gully washers. Not unusual, you say? Yours has the same magical power? \yell maybe, but mine does it every doggone time, so I feel my average is the best in the country. And I'm not one to bragg, but j I am personally responsible for ! the breaking of the drought a couple of weeks back. You know, the one that put the forest fire situation in the critical stage and was drying up early gardens. Wayah Ranger W. L. Nothstein will back me up. I was up in his office just be fore presstime getting the low down on the situation. "Wha' we need a gusher . . suifititiii. rain to wet the forest f!oo:\" thu ranger declared prayer fully. To bolster his spirits. I quipped: - "Fear not. mighty protector of Appalachian'H^CTn?? Calendar JUNE KEY TO FISHING WATERS ?

Here's one of the latest, com posed bv an anonymous "Belle of the Bustle". Said a "Brushy Brother" to his "Belle of the Bustle", "Honeyehile, you all are going to have to hustle, "For with our goodlooking clothes and luxuriant hair, "We'll win the Centennial show, I do declare.'* Said the demure little Belle", with a swish of her bustle, "Don't worry dear, we need not hustle, "For you men, you poor. poor, dears.

P'-P' daliv*"** L ANY airline pilot will tell you that i one big reason for the modern plane's greatly increased cruising range aloft is the variable pitch propeller. To get off the ground, of course, the pilot needs plenty of acceleration, for take-off and climb. So his propellers must "bite" into air at a certain angle for utmost performance. But once the plane is at cruising alti tude, great power acceleration is no ? longer needed ? fuel efficiency is. So the pilot switches the pitch of his pro peller blades to high-economy angle ? and gets a lot more mileage from the fuel in his tanks. 'l I that's why Buick's new Variable Pitch Dynaflow* is such a sensation across the nation. For the same aviation principle that brings this two-way magic to the modern plane is now found in the twenty propeller-like blades whirling in oil inside the Dynaflow unit. Just by pressing the gas pedal way down, you switch the pitch and get instantaneous getaway response or safety-surge acceleration. Just by easing up on the pedal, you change the pitch to high-economy angle ? and get new and better gas mileage in all normal driving and cruising. It's a spectacular and sensible achievement ? this new Dynaflow Drive? a brand-new thrill and a brand-new thriftiness. And with it goes the might of record high V8 power ? and the level luxury of Buick's all-coil-spring ride? and the spacious roominess of Buick's broad ( interiors ? and the host of other ! advanced features that add to Buick's brimming value. ' Come in and try what is very defi nitely the performance thrill of the year? and see for yourself why Buick sales are soaring to all-time best-seller highs. *Dynaflou Drite is standard on Roadmaster, optional at txira cost on other Series. -WHIN BfTTM AUTOMOBILES AM BUILT BUICK Will BUIID THIM - Enjoy cooled, filtered air (or less than you think with Buicfc's Macon Motor Company AIRCONDITIONER Authorized Buick Dealer It's a genuine Frigidatre phone 233 palmer Stre<>t We,t Franklin, N.
