My Favorite Stories
f By CARL OOERCH
TTiis incident happened the year
Duke played Southern California
In the Rose Bowl.
There were seven or eight of ui
around at Ed Foulks' apartment
where Ed was cooking a chili
suppef.
We'eat in front of the radio,
tense with interest. California had
the ball on Duke's te?-yard line,
ribeh of us leaned forward In our
chairs. Not a word was being
'spoken.
"Tell me what happens," 1 whis
pered to Ed. "I'm going out in
the hall and make a telephone
call."
"What ? NOW!" exclaimed Ed.
I nodded. "It's very important,"
I told him.
Stealing out of the room as
quietly as possible, I went out into
the hall and put in my call.
"Three-five-eight-four, please."
Brief wait. Then a boy's voice:
"Hello."
"Hello, is that Willis Smith's
residence?"
"Yes it is."
"Is Mr. Smith there?"'
"Yes?er?a?I don't know."
"This is very important. Won't
you please call hipi to the tele
phone?"
"I'll see if. he's here."
(Another brief pAuSe, and right
here?for the benefit of those whc
don't know it?of all the Duke
fans, in North Carolina there was
nevet one more rabid than Willis
Smith. I knew it would be like
pulling teeth to get him away from
the radio, but finally I heard his
im.'no > ? ?
?uuc. t
"Hello, hello, hello!"
(It was plain to see that he was
verv impatient.)
"Is that Mr. Smith?"
"Yes, yes?what is it?''
"Mr. Smith, this is Walker Har
ris from down in Greenville, and
I've got a matter I'd like to talk
to you about. You see. we've had a
rather poor agricultural season
down here, from the standpoint of
cotton and tobacco, and I don't
know whether it's due to crop con
trol or not, or perhaps the weather
"has had something to do with it
but. anyway. I've got a case to try
in court that I want to discuss with
you. because you see I don't know
much about law, and my wife?she
used to be a Korneeay before she
married me?my wife says?"
That's as far as I got. As a mat
ter of fact. I was surprised that I
got that far before the explosion
came. But come it did.
"Great Scott, man! I haven't ?ot
ttmo to talk to vou rieht now. I'm
listening to the football same. Call
me irn when it's over wttfe.""??C-*
"BAM!" went the receiver. And
I'm wilting to bet that if the nres
ider>t himself had called up Willis
pt thgt..particular moment to offer
him the Job of Attorney General of
the United States, Willis would
have told him the same thing that
he told me.
I happened to recall that Roland
Mumford of the Sir Walter Hotel
was another individual who was
Intensely interested in the game.
to aftejr a few minutes ? during
whiter I caught ud with the game
mvself?I proceeded to call up
Roland.
"Mumford?"
"Yes."-(And you could tell that
h? was Impatient, too. It was while
Southern Cal was trying for that
field goal.)
"Mr. Mumford. this is Sam Pav
ia, of Hickory."
"All right, Mr. Davis."
?"Mr. Mumford, I'm secretary of
the North Carolina Plumbers As
sociation, and we're figuring on
holding our convention this year
in Raleigh, and I'm wondering how
many folks *your banquet hall will
seat."
"We can get about four hundred
people in there, Mr. Davis."
"Well, here's what T want fo tell
you, Mr. Mumford. I've been in the
plumbing business for fifteen years
and received my training ip Cas
well's Plumbing Shop in States
ville. I don't know whether you
ever have heard of Mr. Caswell or
not, but about twenty years ago he
was the outstanding plumber in
North Carolina. He used to have a
shop in Raleigh and another one
in Wilmington. And if I do say it
myself. Mr. Mumford, I don't know
j when I've met a finer man than Mr.
Caswell is. And here's another
hing I want to tell you?"
But that was as far is I got.
There was a sudden howl of an- ]
tulsh from the other end of the
'ine. Then a yell: "Damn you. Mr.
Davis, and Mr. Caswell, too!" j
And "BAM!" went the receiver |
igain. ]
I'm afraid that Mr. Mumford had
-uddenly realized he was being s
'ddded.
After that, we called up half a
iozen more folks and it was inter- (
>sting to get their reaction. Most i
if them cussed to beat the band. |:

Teaching Child Not to Fear Pain
By CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.
THERE may be so many rea
sons why the baby or very young

generalize on the matter safely.
If the reason Is not apparent,
the youngster should be cheeked
by the physician. Also, the parent
should look into her own degree
of peace of mind and serenity,
and the family atmosphere.
Spanking Not the Can
Of one thing I'm fully sure,
spanking Is not the cun for the
baby's crying. And when the tot
of two or three cries following a
spanking, it doesn't seem to be
good sense to command him then
not to cry. It you spanked him
wisely, you meant to give nlm
pain, at which hfc usually cries.
Whether the youngster from
two to five cries long and hard at
the slightest accidental bump will
depend largely on how you have
acted from the time he first had
such experiences. If you have al
ways shown great fear and anxi
ety when he has been hurt a bit,
grabbed him up excitedly and be
trayed your fears in your voice
and movements, you helped him
suppose he was badly hurt when
he wasn't. You caused him to be
ready to cry long and violently.
Gets Up Smillnr
But If you hate always met hie
little accidental hurts with calm
ness, even indifference, letting
bin pick himself up when he has
been able to, he may grow so
courageous by the time He to (our

Dealt with so successfully for
the first several years of life, a
child who, for some reason, later
acquires some fears of pain, as In
first aid, and does cry or create a
scene, may be restrained toward
courage more easily because of
the good earlier experiences.
Fears First Aid
Suppose your child at three ot
four must have some Immediate
first aid and he hicks and
screams, shouting "No!"
The best procedure may be to
have a capable assistant, and for
one of you to hold the child still
until the ordeal Is over. In most
cases, spanking him, or threaten
ing to do so, will hardly force his
compliance.
If he Is Mven, nine or ten, how
aver, you and an assistant to
gether might not be able to hold
him by force. Besides, he's old
enough, then, so that If ne refuses
to respond to reason, he can profit
from some other means of force
that should cause him to comply.

mild antiseptic would be applied
before bandaging. Calmly, the

"Which do you want me to do:

quieted down and cooperated
perfectly, after which the first

Hallowe'en Costumes ?
Easy To Make, Fun To Wear

MASQUERADE FUN . . . Costumes for the Wicked Old Witch
and Little Red Riding Hood may be made in black or red sate'i
from the same pattern.
By DOROTHY ROE (
Associated Press Women's Editor |
The costume season for the
young set gets off in gay styfe on
Hallowe'en, when tricks or traats
are the order of the day, and small
spooks skitter gleefully about the
neighborhood.
Clever mothers will turn out
such garb on their sewing ma
chines, so that small fry can enter
into the fun of "spook night" and
also have on hand some gay cos
tumes for future use in school
plays or for costume parties.
The Wicked Old Witch and Lit
tle Red Riding Hood can easily be
made from the same pattern? |
Advance No. 706. Local sewing
center experts remind you that it
is important to select patterns for
children by chest measurement.
Do not confuse pattern size with
age of child. Patterns give chest
measurement and corresponding
waist and length measurements
important in cutting the garment
to fit correctly.
For these designs, for example,
a child with 24-inch chest mea
surement would take* a size six
pattern. After selecting the cor
rect size for individual measure
ment, shorten or lengthen pattern
sections as required, following the
child's corresponding body meas
urements.
Remember, too, that although
costume making calls for more
elaborate. trimming details than
every-day clothing, you still will
want to select decoration that will
survive the family wash. Appliques
are one solution to this, since you
can cut interesting designs using
odds and ends from the fabric
scrap basket and achieve practical
ahd appealing effects.
When in need of something dif
ferent for unexpected-company
snacks, make cinnamon toast the
usual way and just before popping
it in the oven, sprinkle it lightly
with grated lemon rind. Perfect
with hot coffee.
