THE HAPPY TIMES Newspaper for Boy* and Girls K'? Storytime The Goose Girl (Summary: A princess was on her way to a far country to wed a prince. On the way, the maid forced the princess to change clothes with her, and the maid mounted the princesa's horse, Fa lada. Falada was a talking horse. When they arrived at the far country, the prince took the maid as his bride. The falae princess had Falada killed and the true prin cesswas sent with a boy, Curdken, to mind the geese. Curdken liked the "goose girl's" golden hair and tried to steal a lock. The goose girl, the real prin cess. always outwitted him, and Curdken complained to the king. Now the rest of the story). Curdken said to the king. "When we go in the morning through the dark gate with our flock of geese, she weeps and talks with the head of a horse that hangs upon the wall, and says, "Falada, Falada. there thou art hanging!" and the Head answers ? "Bride, bride, there thou art go ing! Alas! alas! if thy mother knew >t, Sadly, sadly her heart would rue it." And Curdken went on telling the King what had happened upon the meadow where the geese fed, and how his hat was blown away, and he was forced to run after it and leave his flock. But the old King told him to go out again as usual the next day; and when the morning came he placed himself behind the dark gate, and heard how the Princess spoke and how Falada answered; and then he went into the field and hid himself in a bush by the mea dow's side and soon saw with his own eyes how they drove the flock of geese and how after a little time she let down her hair that glitter ed in the sun. Then he heard her say ? "Blow, breezes, blow! Let Curdken's hat go! Blow, breezes, blow! Let him after it go! O'er hills, dales, and rocks, Away be it whirl'd Till the golden locks Are all comb'd and curl'd." And soon came a .gale of wind and carried away Curdken'i hat, while the girl went on combing and curling her hair. All this the old King saw. So he went home without being seen, and when the goose girl came back in the evening, he called her aside and asked her why she did so. She burst into tears and said, "That I must not tell you or any man or I obi 11 lose my life." But the old King begged ao hard that she had no peace till ahe had told him all, word for word. And it was very lucky for her that she did so, for the King ordered royal clothes to be put upon her, and he gazed with wonder, she was so beautiful. Then he called his son and told him that he had only the false bride, for that she was merely a waiting-maid while the true one stood by. And the young King rejoiced when he saw her beauty and heard how meek and patient she had been; and without saying anything he ordered a great feast to be pre pared for all his court The bridegroom sat at the top, with the false Princess on one side, and the true one on the other; no body knew her, for she was quite dazzling to their eyea and waa not at all like the little goose girl, now that she had on her brilliant dress. When they had eaten and drunk and were very merry, the old King told all the story, as one that he had once heard of, and asked the true waiting-maid what she thought ought to be done to anyone who would behave thus. "Nothing better." said this false bride, "than that she should be thrown into a cask stuck around with sharp nails, and that two white horses should be put to it and should drag it from street to street till she is dead." "Thou art she!" said the old King; "and since thou hast judged thyself, it shall be done to thee." Then the young king was mar ried to his true wife, and they reigned over the kingdom in peace and happiness all their lives.

Miss Carol Fulcher, Marshall berg, above, looks at some irish potato seed pods. These seed pods were taken from a potato plant at Wildwood by Mrs. David L. Freeman, 2200 Bay St., Morehead City. Most folks are unable to identify them. Each of the pods pictured here varies from a hall inch to an inch and a quarter in diameter. They look and feel like little green crab apples. When split open, the solid pulp inside also resembles an ap ple, only the seeds are ranged close to the outer shell, paralleling the contour of the pod. This is the irish potato plant's effort to produce seed. Potato crops are grown from "seed pieces" or parts of a whole ma ture potato. But the original seed to grow the plant has to come from somewhere. The green pods are the ?'somewhere". R. M. Williams, county agent, said that some of the seed pods on a plant in a garden at Harkers Island were sent to the horticul ture department at State College several years ago. The horticulturists wrote back that the appearance of the seed pods were a common occurrence. All irish potato plants, however, do not produce them and there fore when a plant is found with some on, the finder is usually mystified and sometimes feels as though he has made a rare dis covery. , Happy Birthday Linnie Cannon, route 2 Newport, will be 7 years old Sunday Dawna Beatrice Salter, Sea Level, was a year old yesterday Atlantic Beach experienced an other "bigger than ever" weekend Friday through Sunday.

The merchants met at the Hotel Fort Macon din ing room for lunch. Mr. Greenwood discussed the ad vertising problems of retail mer chants. He said that many mer chants bought so much worthless advertising they had little left in their budgets for advertising that will sell merchandise. "Merchants in many towns lack confidence ? both in themselves and in other retailers," Mr. Green wood declared. "They will buy an ad in the yearbook of a school SO miles away because they are afraid the merchant across the street will buy one and they will miss some busines. "Merchants buy worthless adver tising from customers who think because they ar* ( customers they can obligate him to buy from them. By the time a merchant gets through buying 'good will' ads and taking care of his friends, he doesn't have enough money left to advertise through established me dia such as newspaper and radio." Mr. Greenwood continued, "You have one of the finest papers in eastern North Carolina. Advertis ing in a strong, well-established paper has been proved an effective way to sell merchandise." Persons attending the luncheon were Morehead City Mayor George Dill, Bud Dixon, president of the chamber, Joe DuBois, chamber manager, W. B. Chalk, Walter Morris, Luther Earl Lewis, O. N. Allred, Bernard Leary, James Lore, Henry White, Dick Parker, Bob Seymour, Mrs. W. L. McDon ald. William H. Willis and W. El ton Lee, field director of the North Carolina Merchants Association.

He had gone to the Laugh too farm in his car to pick up his mother who was visiting her sister, Mrs. Alice Laughton. He Just happened to walk to the shore and heard the cries from the middle of the river. He went to his uncle's, Charles Stanley Jr., and they got a skiff.
