There will be lovely prizes and everyone is welcome to attend, say the sponsors. EASTERN STAR Magnolia Chapter 26, OES, will meet at 8 p. m. tomorrow (Friday) in the Masonic halL We’re All A-buzz! That’s true. We went to Aber deen Monday, breezing in and out of sopie of the attractive shops, and what we saw caused us to be all a-buzz. Cutest and newest things im aginable are the fur toys at Craig's Drug Store. They’re made in Fayetteville. Adorable fur kittens in beautiful colors,, so soft and fuzzy-wuzzy. Ordinarily we don’t go for skunks, but the furry ones at Craig's are not only pretty, but nice to have around. They also have, from Fayette ville, novel character dolls, inclu ding “Kissing Cousin,” “Capt. Mars,” Confucius,” Hula Mai^” and “Honey Bunny,” the last be ing just the thing for that favor ite kiddie at Easter. They’re stocked with Easter cards and candy and have Easter baskets filled or the fill-it-your- self variety. Easter also calls for kodaks, color film and color de veloping, on which Craig's has speedy service. The Glitter Box stores—you know Tommy Gschwind has three of them, in Aberdeen, Car thage and Southern Pines—have the Moore County franchise for the new Bulova electric razors, and take it from us, they’re beau ties. Any fellow would welcome one. And when it comes to the latest styling in watches for ladies and men, you need look no farther. That goes for extra watchbands, too, and it certain ly pays to replace bands before the watch is lost and there’s no further need of a band. We made a mental note that the Glitler Box is a fine place to go for gifts, come graduation time. Mother’s Day, or Father’s Day—and they’ll all be here al most before you know it. We should have known better than to go browsing around in Collins Department Store. . . . might have known we’d fall for something. Honestly, they have so many and ..such attractive handbags on display that it’s hard to keep from buying more than one. A customer called our ’ atten tion to Collins' pure Irish linen, crease resistant, marked down from $1.29 to 89c a yard. She’d bought some for a dress and was tickled pink to get it at that price. They have it (or did, Mon day) in white and a pretty shade of pink. Any lady who has had difficul ty getting hatted up ,for Easter may take a tip from us. There are some very pretty hats at Collins, and new Besses, too. Macks 5 and 10, where Daisy Kelly greets the public, has a wonderful array of Easter bas kets, and they are so reasonably priced—^from 25c to $1.98 for real large ones—that, a person can afford to remember a number of little friends. Macks has Easter eggs, cards, and many items that would make fine Easter gifts. To brighten the cemetery at this special time they have a wide selection of stvrafoam crosses with colorful floral deco rations, and wreaths that will stay beautiful for days. This store has been a favorite place for buying greeting cards for a long time, and, as usual, cardsjin wide variety are now on display. Good idea to lay in a supply. Farmer's Supply Store has some of the nicest looking toma to plants, Marglobe, Rutgers, and other popular varieties, growing in little baskets. Just lift them out into your own garden and they’re ready to go right on growing. They have oodles of flower, garden and field seeds, too. Archibald McGill, the Farm er’s Supply man, has some power lawn mowers, 18 and 20-inch, that look as if they’d change mowing from labor to recreation (almost). Did you ever try to dye brown eggs in Easter colors? White ones are much more satisfactory. Farmer's Supply has pretty white ones that will take to bright colors like their baby chicks take to that good feed Farmer’s Sup ply sells. Here’s wishing you a joyous Easter. Yolurs, Merritt.
