GIFFORD, Manager CARTHAGE NEWS A newspaper man in Tibet, who finally managed to get inside that almost inaccessible county, once asked a government office why there were no newspapers there. “Because nothing ever happens here,” was the answer from the astonished citizen of this province of 3,000,000 people. This column almost did not come out this week for a similar reason, until we went to the post- office early Sunday morning .and there found news, right under our nose, in front of Joe Allen’s Drug Store. On a long wire rack extending across the front door were sev eral dozen rolled newspapers, a neat 'wrapper around each, in scribed with the address on it. On another smaller rack ■wrere some more newspapers, not roll ed, but lying flat, with no names on them. A cigar box with a slot in it was attached to the rack. A sign above it read: “Sunday pa pers, 10c. Please drop coin in the box.” The three leading state papers. The Greensboro Daily News, The News and Observer, and The Charlotte Observer were, on the rack. If you were one of the reg ular customers, you’d find your paper with your name on it, drop in your dime, and go on your way. If you were a stranger, you’d take one from- the flat pile, and put in your dime. If you did not have A dime, you could put your name on a slip of paper and drop it in the box, for there was a pencil on a string tied to the box, nad also slips of paper on strings. Sometimes a person Mr. Allen does not even know will drop in his name. The next time he is in the store, he will settle for his paper. Mr. Allen has hit upon this method of providing Sunday pa pers for those who otherwise would not have them. Joe never opens his store on Sunday. Being superintendent of the Baptist Sunday School, he naturally wants to be at his post there. It has always been the cus tom to close everything in Car thage on Sunday except the pre scription drug store in the after noons, and you cannot buy a Sunday paper anywhere unless you catch one of the newsboys who deliver to subscribers about 7:00 o’clock in the morning. I found that Joe began this system during the wan when tllere were many strangers town who could not get a paper 'on Sunday. At that time he put out fifty papers for strangers. Today he puts out only twenty- five, and seventy-five for his regular customers, making an even hundred in all. He averages four or five dol lars in cash a Sunday. The box keeps its own books. Monday, the people who put their names on slips drop in and pay up. Then the slip is torn up. Sometimes three or four slips for one person will accumulate. Then whenever he sees that man on the street or in the store, Jpe will tell him that he has some slips in the box. Asked if it was not rather em- barassing to remind them he said, “Why, no. I figure the man wants to be reminded by having put in a slip. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have bothjbred. He would have just taken one. “I have never lost any money on it, and I’ve never made any, but it has brought dollar after dollar into my store.” Occasionally, two or three pa pers will be missing from the pile, but not very often. Once in while some of the ones with the customers’ names on them will be taken. He asks that all his regular customers let him know when this happens. He says people do not steal them. On rare occasions someone who has been hitting the bottle a little too heavily wiU pick up another man’s paper, by mistake. Joe runs a drug store, not a newstand, but he carries 180 pa pers during the week and 100 on Sundays in order to get people accustomed to coming to his front door. The papers are outside the door. Every day in the week one hundred eighty people come to his door the first thing in the morning for a paper. He figures it is good psychology to train people’s feet to walk in his direc tion. His arrangement for people to get Sunday papers who would otherwise not have them, has also been appreciated. It could not happen anywhere except in a place like Carthage. Now there might be three mo rals to this story. One is that a psychology professor could give tips to business men. Another might be that it pays to have faith in your fellowmen. Or yoii can say simply that people in Carthage are honest. Without paying any money at all, you may take your choice. "A Good Pariy' It was one of those spontane ous things that only happen once in a blue moon. Everybody ar rived at Miss Mary Currie’s party last Wednesday in a good mood, and you could fairly feel the party click. Mary had an informal open house at the Community House for her houseguest of several weeks, Mrs. Miriam Henry of Lake Worth, Florida, who is leaving soon. So the party was an opportunity for a last fare well get-together, and also gave the one hundred fifty guests who came an opportunity to see Mrs. Henry in technicolor pictures. She and her husband wrote the Latin textbooks now in use in Noth Carolina’s public schools. She has spent considerable time in Mexico and Central America, where she took many pictures of the Mayan cities, built thousands of years ago in Yucatan and Guatemala. Her colored slides of of the restorations made by the archiologists were very interest ing. She also showed slides of the route she and Mary took as they came up from Florida through the Cypress, Middleton, and Magnolia Gardens.
