Choreography of the dance was by Harry Coble and Miss Mary Solan taught the dance to the Waynesville participants. When George Washington visited New Bern, N. C, he was entertain ed at a home which is now the town's public library. Summer Tourists Heln Supplement Farm Income Scores of farm families through out the State especially in the mountains and along the seacoast and. main highways supplement their income in the summer by renting rooms and serving meals to tourists. Miss Pauline Gordon, extension economist in home management and house furnishings, says a tour ist home oilers an opportunity lor farm people to dispose of surplus fruits and vegetables a profit. She offers several suggestions lor attracting tourists, and for keeping them, which she says is the hard est job. "Whfn Tunnl uton at farm j i r. hnmM for meal." Miss Gordon de clared, "they expect plenty of sim ple, weii-cookea tood cnicnen, ham, milk, cream, fresh fruits and vegetables. Also remember that 'rest' is one of the chief things a tourist nome nas to sen. "Good beds, with rood springs. good mattresses and clean linen should receive first consideration. Cleanliness is the first thing tour ists look for. Tourists are not in terested in family pictures. Eli minate all ol them irom trie bed rooms." The extension specialist, who travels all over the State and is a keen observer of home manage ment and house furnishings, says that a well-worded sign in front, or at a short distance from the house, is the first requisite for at tracting the traveling public. Of course the house must look 'homey' Blackout Lamp 7 vV w Frances Dearstyne, of Albany, N.T., aumn th naw tvr ImmD devel- . ... . . ... oped xor DiacKoui tignung snouia war come to America.

Typical Driver Between 40-45 vnTTNfiSTOWN. Ohio You are the typical American motorist if; You are between forty and forty five yean old. You have a wife, a son ana a daughter. You live in a town of less than K nnn neonle. in a house that is worth from S4.500 to $4,820. (Whether or not you own it doesnt matter; that's a 60-50 proposition.) ' You have a bank account of $500. The face value of your life In surance policies is $900. Your auto is a closed car four or five years old, worth $225, although it was worth more when you bought it a year or so ago. You never bought a new auto. You drive on an average 8,500 miles a year, although only 10 per cent of this driving is more than 80 miles from home. with well-kept yards and freshly painted woodwork. For proof that keeping tourists is a profitable su pplementary enter prise for farm families, Miss Gor don suggests that records be kept. No elaborate system of accounting is necessary, but bookkeeping will be just as advantageous to the inn keeper as to the merchant. Truthful Fishermen Get Off Jury Service KANSAS CITY Chester W. Seiglar's frank admission that his thoughts were on fishing won him exemption from jury service. "I just couldn't sit here and hear the evidence impartially and think about those fish in Minne sota," he told the court. Circuit Judge IJohn F. Cook agreed the excuse was "a frank one," but quickly added that his decision vyas not to be taken as a precedent. MVC nFRTBTIIll RTfSIflW ii iiimmiir rnofHonf af RbIkrITI. and ATXAWU. VJ t J U' 1.
