SHIPPING DEPARTMENT
Miss Margaret Bradford, the
Chevrolet booster, has changed
her mind and is trying out a V-8,
although she has not fully decid
ed to trade yet. Say, Margaret,
what were you doing over in
High Point the other night? Still
trying out the V-8’s we guess.
Hal Briggs of Sanford visited
his sister Mrs. Allen Banner re
cently.
Berry is certainly carrying on
at the ball games this year. He
says he’s got things going his
way.
We are glad to report that Mrs.
Harvey Wishon is much improved.
Margaret Taylor together with
a party of friends enjoyed a pic
nic dinner at Lover’s Leap Sun
day.
We extend our heartfelt sym
pathy to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Smith
due to the death of Mr. Smith’s
sister, Mrs. Tom Williams of Ad
vance.
Nancy White spent last week
end in Crutchfield, visiting her
brother and friends.
NIGHT FORCE
We hope the ones on the sick
list will soon be back with us.
Ephriam Grubbs spent Sunday
in Asheville and we think it went
to his head as it was the first
time he had ever been out of For
syth county.
We wonder why Francis is late
so often lately. What’s the mat
ter, Buck?
Page says he’s putting all his
eggs in one basket now.
For first class radio repair work
see H. V. Stoneman.
The only difference between
Joe Speer and George Washing
ton is Joe never told the truth
and George never told a lie.
M. Brown is like a catfish. He
is all head and no brain.
Fred Hensley is like an air
plane, he is no good on earth.
We wonder why Turpin never
buys any cigarettes.
NAPPING DEPARTMENT
We don’t know but we heard
that Footeye and Sweet Pea were
caught stealing apples. As we said
we don’t know, we only heard.
Is it true that someone bit Mai-
da Swaim on the cheek, causing
a terrible bruise?
We wonder why Virginia Crowe
sings, “Isn’t Love the Grandest
Thing.” It seems to be her theme
song.
We wish to welcome our new
catcher to this department, Pete
McBride. Good luck, Pete.
Due to the fact that news is
hard to get in this department, I
have gotten together a question
box. The answers will be found
elsewhere in this paper. Look for
them.

THE WAGGIN’ TONGUE
A sure sign of spring: when
fishermen use red flannel bait.
Those who are absent from the
bridge party usually get the most
slams,
A motor car with one horn can
toss a man farther than a bull
with two horns.
He who does nothing, does
somebody.
Even if we aren’t happy, it’s
better all around to pretend that
we are.
When it comes time for the
meek to inherit the earth, taxes
will be so high they won’t want
it.
Better wait a minute at a cross
ing than forever in a cemetery.
Drive carefully.
Then there was the near-sight
ed man who wore his glasses to
bed so he could recognize the
people he dreamed about.
“Boys, I’ve quit the hold-up
game,
I’ll hang around joints no more;
So with a sigh and a little cry
The garter stretched out on the
floor.”
Teacher: “Tommy, when was
Rome built?”
Tommy: “In the night.”
Teacher: “Why do you make
such an answer?”
Tommy: “You said yesterday
that Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
She: “He’s so romantic: Every
time he speaks to me he starts
“Fair Lady.”
He: “Romantic, nothing. He
used to be a conductor on a street
car.”
Lady: “Have you given the gold
fish water?”
Maid: “No. mum, they ain’t fin
ished the water I gave them yes
terday, yet.”
“Marry me Richard: I’m only
May Queen
Miss Martha Harris, attractive
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. W.
Harris, of Winston-Salem, who
was selected as May Queen at Wi
ley School. Mr. Harris is superin
tendent of the Winston Mill,
the garbage man’s daughter—but
“That’s all right, baby, you
ain’t to be sniffed at.”
Willie: “Say, Pop, did you goto
Sunday school when you were a
boy?”
Father. “Yes, son, regularly.
Never missed a Sunday.”
Willie: Well, I’ll bet it won’t do
me any good either.”
Papa swore because the car had
a blow out, but little Aud
rey just laughed and laughed, be
cause she remembered that the
guide said there was a fork in the
road.
Jim Young said he was once a
member of a nudist colony but,
he was dismissed because he had
a coat on his tongue.
It is rumored that there is a
certain man in the Weave Room
who has so many gold teeth that
he sleeps with his head in the
safe.
CARD OF THANKS
The family of the late Mrs.
Thomas Smith wishes to express
their sincere appreciation for the
kindness shown them in the loss
of their mother, and for the
beautiful floral designs.
Strange Sheep
Natives of the Azores harness
their sheep to wagons as beasts
of burden.
Sheep can go without water
longer than camels.
Nudget sheep of Scotland,
weigh only 40 pounds when full
grown—they feed on seaweed.—
Ronaldshay Island.
L. H. C. Clubs
Honor Mothers
The members of the Lucy
Hanes Chatham Club No. 1, had
as their guests at the meeting
Thursday evening at the club
house, their mothers. The pro

the observance of Mother’s Day.
Miss Mary Etta Laffoon conduct
ed the devotionals.
The program consisted of a solo

tin, accompanied by Miss Olene
Arnold; a poem by Mi’s. Wayne
Phillips, and a duet by Misses
Carol and Magdalene Martin.
The concluding number was a

Each mother was given a love
ly remembrance by her daughter
and the oldest and youngest
mothers were given a basket of
flowers. The oldest mother at
tending was Mrs. John Bates,
78, and mother of Miss Ohna
Bates. The youngest mother, Mrs.

L. H, C. No. 2
Thursday, May 7th, members
of the Lucy Hanes Chatham Club
No. 2, served lunch to fifty peo
ple from the mill at the club
house. This was done to help
raise money for the Club. Re
turns from the luncheon were
gratifying.
A Mother’s Day program was
enjoyed at the meeting May 14th.
Special music and readings made
up the program.
OUT FISHIN’
When Brethren of the rod and
reel
Go fishin’
Somehow friendships seem to
seal
While fishin’
With fish a ’fryin’ in the pan
One look beneath the coat of tan
Reveals the best that’s in the man
That’s fishin’
One need be neither rich nor
great
For fishin’
His catch depends upon his bait,
While fishin’
He’s apt to lose all thoughts of
care
His troubles vanish in thin air.
Make him an optimist for fair,
While fishin’
This year ahead is one of strife
And fishin’
You’ll have to labor for your life
But fishin’
Supplements your work—a dole
That paves the way to every goal;
Go fishin’.
—Ike Walton.
Mrs. Ella Cannon of Brooklyn
was fined $50 for kicking a po
liceman.
