Moreheid City High School
. E.xr.ms pre finally err gnd the
classes have all had picnics or par
ties. So now a long vacation is
ahead of us!
The Seniors gave the Juniors a
picnic Wednesday afternoon over
at the beach and everyone really
had Vs of fun (especially M. O'D
and E. C.!!) The water was just
right for swimming evrn, though
the day was chil'y and cloudy. Oh.
by the wny. they give us eats too;
pota'o salad, potato chips, sand
wishes, donu.'s, pepsis and cotasos.
(II A R doesn't look half bad in
t bathing suit eiiher and ain't
she sweet!!)
The 8th grade classes had their
graduation exercises recently and
thry gave a Very Impressive pro
gram presided over by Jean Mor
ton. Mr. Winded, principal, pre
sented the diti'omas and also 'he
American I.rgion Citizenship
awards. These awards are given
annually to the boy and girl whom
their classmates vote as Ihe best
citizens of the classes. This year
the awards went to Doris Midgelt
and Tommy Bennett and I'm quite
sure 'heir classmates made a fine
selection.
Now 1 hit school's over maybe
lots more Teen -Acers will take ad
vantage of the $1 memberships to
the Recreational Center. With
these cards you may use the Cen

that something else is not going oh
up there The Teen-Age Club still
meets on Friday and Saturday
nights but they are thinking of
changing it to Tuesday and Satur

be better as il would break the
monotony of the week nights when
there's nothing doing.
Guess that's all so, be seeing you

Migrants Begin

Migration by North Carolina and

ing the war and postwar era more
than 7.7800O nersons. or 21.5 net
cent of the Southern states' 1940
population, changed residence.
Most residence shifts resulted
from wartime upheavals. pos:wor,
job changes, demobilization)' 7and
the housing shortage. Now that the

flimsy and often old fashioned
quarters they had to settle for
during the war years, it adds. Now
they're demanding homes with
such quality features as built-in
furniture, extra tiled bathroorm

Migration of residents of the
Southern states was greatest with

Swiss Plan tfl Blast
Hailstorms On! el Sky
' BERN. Switzerland (AP)
'The Swiss pgrictiltural department
will undertake experlmeits in blas
ting hiilstnrms out of the sky. The
experlrttehts, the department an
nounces, are planned where tobac
co plantations have been subject
to season ?1 damage by hailstorms.
In the fruit-growing areas of
western Switzerland, for some
years rockpts and Shells have been
shot into hail clouds ii an effort
to break them up before they look
ed their load nn vinevards and or
chards, The ground defenses have
been made mostly by small com
munities, and local authorities
have not been able to agree to tHe
efficacy of their methods. For
me thing, the vineyards and or
chards to be protected were scat
tered, sometimes separated fay
mountains, and it was Impossible
accurately to measure the results.
The Magadiho plain, frequently
Visited by hailstorms, and the to
bacco fields there, highly suscep
tible to hail damage, are expected
to be a better proving ground.
