It takes but little Intelligence and
no breeding to be a grouch. It takes

eternal vigilance to be conslderatoand

grouch Is left in the gutter; the cordial

Mrs. Cornelia O. Morris, extension
economist in fcod conservation at
State College.
The Scuppernong. Thomas. Nish.
Bden, James, Memory,' Smith. Flowers;
and Luola grapes of tile Musca
dine family make a good juice, she
a'ided. The Thomas Is perhaps the
best, and does not need theadditioii
of ady danger.
Select firm, ripe grapes for making
juice. If a large quantity of
Juice Is to be made, a grape crusher
will be needed1, but for smaller amounts
the grapes can be mashed In
a; dishpan with a potato masher or
a bottle.
After crushing, pour the grapes In
to a. cheesecloth bag and strain off
the Juice. Allow tiic June
in buckets for an hour to settle,
then filter it through a flannel jelly
bag and pour at once Into hot, sterilized
jars.
Partially seal the jars and place
them in a hot water canner. Covet
the jars. with water. When the water
begins tc boil vigorously, take the
canner otff the stove, remove the jars
and complete the seal. Mrs. Morris
pointed out that 'when the water t>egins
to boil vigorously, the temperature
inside the jars will he approximately
185 degrees F. Higher temperature?
will impair the flavor of
the Juice.
'TJie hulls left In the cheesecloth
beg may be used to make grape
paste stock. Cook the grape pulps
slowly In a large, dish pan pntll the
seeds begin tc separate from cne
pulp. Stir constantly with a wooden
spoon while cooking, as the pulp*
scorch easily.
Remove pan from the stove. Pour
the pulp through a co.tanaer i* n

Pour the hot pulp into hot, siei'lised
Jars and process in a hot water canner

Papa Harold Hunnicutt was in

not taken that boy out to Lake
Montonia fishing yet.
For some reason there has been
more boy babies born in Kinge
' Mountain recently than in many a

they have in Storkland at this

in this issue, and
there are new sons at the homes
of Eddie Smith, Jimmy Harris and

noon in quest, of big game DOVE.
After all the fearless hunters had
counted their game they had the
sum total of ONE DOVE. The
hunters are considered to be so
good that Jthey carried retrivers to
"fetch" their kill. It was reported
the only way Daniel Boone Hord

Constitution Day
By
RAYMOND 1'ITC.AIRN
"Let us raise a standard to which the
wit c and honest can repair. The event
is h> the hand cf God."
Iri these clear and reverent words,
George Washington expressed the hopes
of the men who wrote our Constitution
during the historic summer of 1787.
Now. as America celebrates again the
anniversary of the signing, we realize
how faithfully the Founders adhered to
Washington's high aspiration.
Now, as the na6on considers anew
the progress made under our Constitution.
in growth, in prestige and in the
freedom and well-being of our people,
we realise how well those Founders
earned the tribute,
f For while the delegates to the Federal
Constitutional Convention realized
the difficulties ahead, their hopes were
high. Throughout the deliberations
there sounded constantly the clear note
of Insistence that here. In the United
States, should be established a true
government of, by and for the people.
Their recorded words attest this determination.
"In free governments," pronounced
that wfae and venerable delegate, Benjamin
Franklin, "the rulers are the
servant# and the people their superiors
and sovereigns."
"The majority of the people, whet ever
found, ought in all questions to govern,"
declared lames Wilson, of Pennsylvania.
Authority, he added, "should
flow from the legitimate source of all
authority, the mind of the people at
Urge."
.. "The genius of republican liberty
seems to demand that all power should
be derived from the people," said James
Madison, of Virginia.
Constitution Day serves as a reminder
of these principles, on which our nation
was founded. Under the great Charter
it honors, We the People are assured
both liberty and power. And through
every generation the responsibility rests
on us to hold high that standard of
liberty which. Ml years ago, Oeorge
Washington urged and the Pounders
raised at historic Independence Hall.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
T*? police of Algiers are baffled
in Ikeir attempt to capture
Pepe le Monko, international
jercel thief who is protected
from them by the lawless inhabitants
of the Cos bah, mysterious
native quarter where Pepc
lives. Pepe. meets Qaby, a Parisian
tourist visiting Algiers, and
they -are strongly uttracied to
each other, much to the indignation
of Pope's native sweetheart,
Incs. Regis, a stool pigeon
In Pope's gang, lures Pepc's
friend Pierrot out of the Casbah
in the hope that Pepc will come
in search of him and thus fall
into a police trap. When Regis
returns without Pierrot, Pepe
and his gang surround Regis
and threaten him with a dire
fate if Pierrot' does hot return
unharmed. Meanwhile the shrewd
inspector Bltmane, stationed in
the Casbah, is evolving hie own
plans for using the tourist girl
Qaby to get Pepe out of the
protection of lk? Casbah.

'grandly through the Caebah, shepherded
by Inspector Slimane. The
{party of tourists consisted of the
(exotic Gaby, Pepe's acquaintance
|of the night before, with her
friends who had been separated
from her on that occasion ? the
blonde, enternrislng Marie, her
friend, Bertier, and Gaby's fiance,
one Etienne Giraux, a portly, middle-aged
but extremely wealthy
gentleman whom Gaby planned to
marry, as she confided to Marie,
"for business reasons."
They were drawn back to the
Casbah by a strange power. That
(power (perhaps not so strange
after all) was the attraction which
Pepe le Moko had exercised over
Gaby during their brief meeting,
and which nad led her to make
Inspector Slimane agree (not at all
^luctantly) promise to arrange an
VIUW UIVVMMf*.
| So presently Oaby and her friends
were seated In a little Casbah restaurant,
and Slimane despatched a
messenger to invite Pepe to Join
them. Which he did with alacrity,
leaving his aides to deal with
ulegls.
. Pepe greeted the tourists affably,
then devoted his attention to Oaby,
Ivhile the others, tourist-like, chattered
and ogled the strange sights
about them, and Slimane sat back
In his chair, pretending to doze.
< Pepe and Oaby talked ? at first
Idly, ^most conventionally. Did she
like Algiers? Not particularly ?
traveling made her homesick. She
missed her Paris...Did he know
Paris? Did he! It had been his
very own! with a thrill of mutual
pleasure they named, in turn, the
streets they both knew and loved
so well...the Hue St. Martin, the
Champs Klysses... the Gare du
Nord ..the Opera...the Boulevard
des Capucines.
Some one put on a record. They
got up to dance, still talking. What
was her name? Oabriells ? Oaby.
Was she married? Perhaps a
widow? No, she was engaged to?

was very jealous. Suddenly Pepe
began whirling her madly around
tto the music, until they fetched up
breathless against a pillar, laughing
excitedly like children.
He tried to kiss her, but she
held him away. "Let's go out on
,the terrace," she suggested.

him, with drawn gun.
"No! No! No!" screamed Regis,

carelessly in the doorways, blocking
any means of exit. And still
Pierrot came-on.
