Although her last husband, Major Frederick McLaughlin, wealthy merchant, agreed to pay her $750 a month, $9,000 a year, she says she can't subsist on that. After subtracting house hold maintenance, food, tips, telephone, a nurse and her son's tuition at school she says that she will only have $30.70 a week left and she wants to know how on earth she can keep up wth facials, manicures, mas sages and clothes on this amount? No won der her late husband in answering her plea for divorce and alimony charged that she was extravagant. "ANY BANK" The Gold Leaf Farmer, Wendell. We had our attention called to a rather remarkable thing by Supt. Gaddy, of the Raleigh Schools. It seems that in the course of the routine radio announcing, after the New York Yankees had become World Champions again last Sunday afternoon, one of the Yankee players was asked what he intended doing with his part of the gate receipts, amounting to around six thousand dollars. He replied, "I'm going to put it in the bank." Being asked what bank, he re plied, "Any Bank!" We don't believe a stronger endorsement of the recovery that has been the result of President Roosevelt's administration could have been given. It was an endorsement of banks and banking, of course, but the cred it does not go wholly to the bankers that any bank now is a safe depository of funds. Most of the men who are now running banks were bankers in 1932, and in the ear ly days of 1933, but not every bank then could have been said to be safe. It is true there was a bank here in which its deposit ers and others had implicit confidence, but there were not many in the whole broad land. Now, the ball player expressed the senti ment that might be true of every American, funds are safe in just any bank that is li censed to do business under the Federal De posit Insurance Corp. This one simple fact alone, that the bank ing system of the nation has been made ab solutely safe, would be almost credit enough for any one president, but this has been on ly an incident in the stride toward recovery and prosperity being made by the Roosevelt administration. This paper takes the liberty to disagree at times with some of the minor policies qi the president, but we want it to be emphati cally understood that none of our admiration for this great man and great president has been dissipated, and we believe he has done a wonderful job in getting the country out of the mire of depression and back to the place where just any bank will do. 1» I » > » « :: : » « : . •: i > « i ► » » 1 » i» « «• WE INVITE YOU TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH US j ' • i > > / a i \!

"None of the crowd" reported Charles J. Parker, "will ever forget him." One would think not. Mr. Parker continued: Breakfast that began with champagne cocktails and ended with chocolate candy with creamed turkey on half coconuts, eggs mollet, hominy grits, glazed apple, peeled apricots, supreme bran muffins a la Vander bilt, toast mel'ja, strawberry preserves, rolls plain and sweet, a seven-piece orchestra, floor show and dancing between courses— to most of them this was a new experience Well, it was just as new to North Caro lina as it was to them. Undoubtedly Mr. En right was extending himself to be hospitable, but it is to be hoped that there will be room on the tour for a little more simplicity and a little less spreading. When travel execu tives or anybody else dance between cours es at 7 :30 in the morning, they may not be so enthusiastic later as they are at the hil arious early morning moment. But the ques tion here is not dancing in the morning but breakfast in the morning. A good many travel executives, like some North Carolin ians, may want no more at 7:30 than a glass on tomato juice and a cup of coffee But if the travel executives are going to be fed in North Carolina at 7:30 in the morn ing in the gargantuan manner, let it be af ter the manner of the hungry natives. Here is a North Carolina breakfast for the early riser—and the hungry one— de signated by Dr. Jane S. McKimmon. The News and Observed takes pride in present ing the menu to tourists and natives alike. Here it is: North Carolina Grapes Smothered Chicken (no chicken to weigh over a pound and a half and every eater to have half a bird) Sliced Broiled Tomatoes—Grits — Chicken Gravy Hot Biscuits—Hot Coffee Corn Cakes or Waffles with Syrup (Dr. Jane suggests that well-seasoned, home-made North Carolina sausage cakes could be substituted for or added to the chicken.) "And that," she said, "would be a break fast for a king—a hungry king." And, oh yes, we forget to ask Dr. Jane what sort o fa North Carolina dish "eggs mollett" is or are. UNCLE RIGHT'S "FIGGERIN' " The Montgomery Herald Incident to the marriage of Uncle Right Lawrence and Aunt Martha Kilpatrick, two venerable ex-slaves, whose marriage in Char lotte Sunday enjoyed considerable notorie ty, the groom is said to have remark ed that he loved Aunt Martha back in their teens, but just couldn't "figger her out." The inference is that it had taken him sixty years to "figger out the problem and get the right answer. Now that's playing safe for you! Of course, it will take any man sixty years to "figger out" a woman and if he's not quick at figures, even long er. But it's seldom you find one who insists on doing his sums before he takes any chances. Uncle Right's name being "Right," obviously decided that it was nothing but right that he should be a disciple of Lord Nelson—"Be sure you are right, then go ahead."

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thy self to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them." (Matt. 8: 1-4) The Lesson-Sermon also included th e following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures" by Mary Baker Eddy. "If sin, sickness, and death are as real as Life, Truth, and Love, then they must all be from the same source; God must be their author. No wJe sus came to destroy sin, Sickness, and death; yet the Scriptures aver, ''l am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
