FAMILIAR Film Star (newly married): "And s this your home?" Bridegroom: "Yes, precious; this .s to be our home." Film Star: "Say, this place looks mighty familiar. Are you sure we haven't been married before?" THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA DON'T CALL CENTRAL WHEN SIREN SOUNDS Telephone Co. To With hold Information As To Fires In the future the local telephone company will not give out informa tion as. to the location of fires, W E. Bpf.rger, local manager, informed The Tribune Wednesday. During the past, the telephone company has rendered this service to its patrons, but due to the huge number of calls which come in when the fire siren sounds, the switch board becomes so congested that it is impossible for the operators to render efficient service. Mr. Sparger pointed out that upon the occasion of each fire, the oper ators attempt to notify each mem ber of the fire department as to the location, etc., of the fire. With hundreds of calls from the curious wamping the board, it is impossible lor the operators to handle all the calls or to notify the firemen in an efficient manner. "I hope the public will understand what we are up against," the tele phone manager said, "and I hope Jhey will not think we are not giv ing them the service to which they are entitled. If they could be in the telephone office at the time of an alarm and see exactly what takes place. I am sure they would under stand." MOTHER'S HELPER Mamma—Have you said your prayers, Robert? Robert—Of course. Mamma—And did you ask to be made a better little boy? Robert —Yes, and I put in a good word for you and father too. ■ • >jjp^ • •$ > *i /\ -• ' m CADDY lighted the Are In the fireplace. She switched on the Christmas lights for the tree. She pulled down the shades, and pushed ap easy chair towards the fire. Halsy' would be home any time now. cold and weary from his round of call* on sick people. This was their flrsi Christmas eve together since they had been married. Halsy had started out on Ills round-! at noon. At three li« had telephoned to sa.v he was obliged to abandon his car. The snow wan too deep, lie had borrowed a palp of snowshoes and a fur' cap, and with bag In hand, was about to walk a road leading through the woods to a suiall shack where a sick woman lay waiting his ministra tions. At Caddy's worried Inquiries, he said It would take him a couple of hours. Then he liad a three-mile walk further on the main turnpike, to a child suffering with a qulnzy sore throat. After that, he would retrace his steps, get his car, and drive home. Caddy gazed into the flames. This country practice covered miles and miles. Halsy was conscientious. He never failed to reach -his patients somehow, but he was tired and worn out. And Caddy herself was often lonely, ller plana for fun, for little parties at home, usually ended In try ing to get someone to till Halsy's place. She knew it would be like this. Llalsy had warned her. She was sensible and patient. Yet tonight . . . Christ inas eve, and Halsy's birthday. She sighed . . . slie simply couldn't bear to have anything go wrong. The telephone rang. "That you, Cad dy? I'm stuck again. The drifts are so deep I can't walk through. I'm out of the wood road all safe, and within two miles of that sick child. But none of the farmers near here has a team of horses. I really need oxen to pull me through. It's tough going." "Oh," breathed Caddy, trying not to sound dismal. "Caddy, I wonder," he hesitated. She could tell he was tired by the drag In his voice. "If you could possibly get l/eiu Salter's team of oxen and drive here for me! 1 simply can't ask him to do It himself. He has his daughter home for the holidays and her family. It's Christmas." Caddy could not speak. She knew what this meant. Hours of being out In the storm. Heaven alone knew when the.v would get home. She glanced about the friendly. Inviting room. "Won't you, darling ... to help me out?" Then she remembered something her father had said to her on her wedding day: "You will never be allowed to for get you are the wife of a country doc tor. But I think he's worth It . . . If you are!" So now over the telephone she said. "All right. Stay where you are. Get warm i.id rested, nnd I'll be there by Shanghai Express!" The tedious drive behind the oxen seemed endless. The snow sifted down inside her collar. It blinded her. She was not actually suffering, but she was pretty uncomfortable. On and on . and on. The whirling curtains swept before her The snow drifted across the broad backs of the patient beasts. They took their own way in their own plodding time. Cad dy sat on a box wrapped round with a bear rug. On and on .. . and on. Creak . . . creak . . . the swaying of the beasts was like some grotesque, nightmarish rhythm She almost fell asleep. Then out of the whiteness ahead she heard a shout. "Hey . . . bless your heart, darling!" And Halsy jumped aboard. The child was very sick. The throat had to be lanced. Caddy forgot her injured feelings. She helped capably I'he mother, worn and harassed, thanked them both with tears In her eyes. And together they drank coffee beside a humble kitchen stove, and ate huge slices of thick, buttered bread. Not what Oaddy had planned for Christmas eve. yet, curiously enough, it seemed better than the other. It had . . . she tried to think it out —more strength and sinew to it. She smiled ut Halsy. "This is posi tively the best Christmas eve I ever spent In my life!" she whispered. Behind a large buttered sllca of bread he kissed her. "You are the perfect pattern for a country doctor's wife!" he whispered back. A W««t»c8 N*wap«p«r Unto a. I L^/NOGIFT BUYING I 1 WORRIES NEXT § I YEAR! I 2» Why let the thought of gift «5| *H R. C.
