THE
GABO
MIRROR OF MEMORIES
You've heard us speak of an English friend with whom
we used to work in Greensboro. He was living near London
during the World War, but was on the under side of age and
thus didn't go. Still, he had vivid memories of air raids by
the German zeps, and after the war went to the battle fields
of France to make pictures of hundreds of graves of British
soldiers for the government.
At his home in Greensboro, surrounded by his wife and
three charming little girls, he used to tell of England during
the war. His wife, too, had vivid memories of life in Lon-
don during that time, but when'
they spoke of it it was in the
manner of telling of a horrible
dream—of an experience that
could never happen again.
After several years in the
United States, my friend and his
family moved back to England.
And now his entire family has
been fitted with gas masks; mad
ness. provoked by a power-drunk
madman, hovers over Europe, and
there is threatened a new terror
which would make the last war
seem as child's play.
Each time a new crisis pops up,
we can't help but think of Ken
as he used to sit on a Sunday af
ternoon and tell of England dur
ing the World War.

THIS AND THAT
Have you heard that a manu
facturer of radios is planning to
put a new car on the market to
sell between three and four hun
dred dollars, with a 2-cylinder
motor, a top speed of 50 miles
per hour and a gas mileage of 50
miles to the gallon? They say
it's due soon.
Have you heard Leon Martin's
"Search for Talent" program
Sundays at 3:30 p.m. over WAIR,
Winston? Leon acts as MC and
does a bit of singing as the show
moves along. Last week he had
Virginia Lineberry, Dorothy Col
bard and Gerry Weaver. He has
big things planned if the breaks
iall right,
i :
Did you know that so-and-so
is planning a new building at
such-and-such a place to house
a something-or-other business?
Or so it is rumored? (That's
about as definite as things are
around here lately, but don't let
it worry you, for it's certainly not
worrying us.)
' We know of five hew houses
ready to be put in construction
right away, if the owners are
wanting to sell, we'd be glad to
talk to tbem, action guaranteed.
This cool weather we've been
having lately should provide q»lite
a crop of chill bumps down at
Mocksville's nudist colony.

We guess It's all right to pull
off all your clothes and go gallop
ing about through the under
brush, but we sure would like to
see a nudist sit down on a bum
blebee's nest.
Personally, we wouldn't care for
a nudist camp. As it is now our
clothes sort of muffle the rattle
and clank of our bones, but with
no clothes on at all we'd sound
like a T-model Ford on a rocky
road.
Maybe we'd better confine our
activity to joining the local
Strength and Health club and go
in for a few fractures. One visit
and we'd probably fall apart like
a barrel with no hoops.
