Karriir. NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATRIX By GEORGE PECK In May 1932, an editorial entitled, "I Like The Depression," appeared in the Amarillo (Texas) Globe News. Its author, Henry Anslej, died after a traffic accident in August that same year. That was a tragedy. The world sorely needs his brand of humorous philosophy you will read his editorial printed below just as he wrote it 17 years ago: I like the depression. No more prosperity for me. I have had more fun since the depression started than I ever had in my life; I had forgotten how fo live, what it meant to have real friends, what it was like to eat common every-day food. Factjs, I was getting just a little high-hat. Three years ago, only one man of the Globe-News organization could be out of town at a time. He had to leave at the last minute and get back as soon as possible. Mary times I have driven 100 miles to a banquet, sat through .3 hours of bunk in order to make a 5-minute speech, then driven the 100 miles back so as to be ready for work' the next morning. Nowadays, as many Globe-News employees as arc invited make those trips and we slay as long as we want to. The whole outfit could leave the office now and it wouldn't make any dif ference. I like the depression. I have time to visit my friends, to make new ones. Two years ago when I went to a rei:;hhoring town, I always stayed at a hotel. Now, I go home with mv friends, stay all night and enjoy home-cooking. I have even spent the week end with some of the boys who have been kind enough to invite me. It's great to drop into a store and feel that you can spend an hour or two or three or a half day just visitirg and not feel that you are wasting valuable time. I like the depression. I am get ting acquainted with my neighbors. In the last 6 months I have become acquainted with folks who have been living next door to me for The undersigned having qualified as administratrix of the estate of, Leslie Batts, deceased, before the I Clerk of Superior Court of Duplin ' County, this is to notify all per sons who have claims against said estate tc present their claims to the undersigned on or before the 2nd d.jy of August, 1950, or this notice will be plead in bar of their recovery. All persons who are in debted to said estate will please make immediate payment. Nellie B. Batts, Admx. of the estate of Leslie Batts. Magnolia. N. C. H. E. Phillips, Atty. Kenansville, N. C. 9-9-6L HEP z 3 years. 1 am following the Biblical Admonition, "Love your neigh bors." One of my neighbors has one of the best-looking wives I have ever seen. She is a dandy. I am getting acquainted with iny neighbors and learning to love thein. Three years ago I ordered my clothes from a merchant tailor 2 or 3 suits at a time. All my clothes were good ones, I was always dress ed up. But now, I haven't bougM a suit of clothes in 2 years. I am mighty proud of my Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. When I dress up, I am dressed up, and I don't mean maybe. I like the depression. Three years ago I was so busy and my wife was so busy that we didn't see much of each other, con sequently we sort of lost interest in each other. I never went home to lunch. About twice a week I went home for dinner at 6:30 o'clock. I never had time to go anywhere with her. If I did go on a party, I could never locate her, and since there was always a 'blonde" or "red head" available I didn't worry much about it. My wife belonged to all the clubs in town. She even joined the young Mother's Club. We don't have any children, but she was studying and between playing bridge and going to clubs, she was never at home. We got stuck up and high f alutin. We even took down the old family bed and bought a set of twin beds. When I would come home at night if my wife was at home, she Would already be in her bed and I would crawl in mine. If she came in laSt, it was vice versa. We like the depression. We have come down off our pedestal and are really living at my house now. The twin beds are stored in the garage and the old family affair .'s being used. We are enjoying life. Instead of taking a hot water bottle to bed these cold nights, she sticks her heels in my back just like sh-; did before Hoover was elected. I haven't been out on a fifty in 18 months. I have lost my book of telephone numbers. My wife has dropped all the clubs. I believe we arc falling in love all over igain. I am pretty well satisfied with my wife. Think 1 will keep her, at least until she is 40 and then, if I feel like I do now, I may trade her fi-r two tcwnties. I am feeling belter since the de pression. I take more exercise. I walk to town and a lot of folks who used to drive Cadillacs are walking with me.' I like the depress ion. My digestion is better. I hav en't been to see a Doctor in a year. 1 can eat anything I want to. I am getting real honest-to-goodness food. Three years ago, we had a fillet mignon once a week, now we have round steak and flour gravy. Then we had roast brea.it of gui nea hen, now we are glad to get sow-bosom witji the buttons on it. I like the depression. My salary has been cut to where I can't afford to buy lettuce and spinach and par sley and we can't afford to have sandwiches and frozen desserts and all the damfoolishness which has killed more good men than the World War. I like the depression. Three years ago, I never had time to go to Church. I played golf all day Sun day and besides I was so darned smart there wasn't a preacher in West Texas who could tell me any thing. Now I'm going to Church regularly, never miss a Sunday And if the depression keeps on, I will be going to prayer meeting be fore long. I like the depression. School Opening At Grady The B. F.
