PAGE SEX THE ECHO NOVEMBER, 19^'^ A1 Jolson, Jr—Bobby DeBord Back in the Roarin’ Twenties one of the most famous show char acters of all time A1 Jolson, sang two songs that brought him im- mcidiate fame. These songs were “Mammy” and “Sonny Boy” and since tho first time these memorable numbers were sung, many have imitated Jolson. Twelve-year-old Bobby DeBord, son of Mr. aind Mrs. Horace W. DeBord (Maintenance), appeared at a Family Night program at the Methodist church in Brevard with his Jolson act and it’s doubtful if A1 ever sang his unforgettable songs with more feel ing and expression than Bobby did. Bobby is in the Ecusta Band as is his older sister, Margaret Ann. ANSWER THIS ONE EDUCATION Glances Into November Echoes Of 1942 And 1944 Reveal How Interests Change You who have children are ex perts at answering questions, so you may as well tackle this one a little boy asked his father: “Pap, I want to ask you a ques tion. Suppose you and Ma had never married each other, but each of you had married someone else. And suppose each of those cou ples had a boy. Now which of those boys would I be, and who would the other one be, and what relation would we be to each oth er, and if so—why?” Every man has two educations— that which is given to him, and that which he gives to himself.

Anderson is urging the na tion’s home, gardeners to continue to help meet the critical world needs for foods. In a statement released recently he said: “The substantial contribution home gardeners can make in in creasing the domestic food supply, was proved during the war years. Their help will be enlisted again for the year ahead when many areas of the world will be des perately in need of food. “The individual contributions of home gardeners may not be too arge, but in total they can be significant in adding to qur domes tic total food supply. “As a beginning,, gardeners in th3 South should make full use of their home and community gardens in growing vegetables suited to Fall, Winter and early Spring production. The Depart ment of Agriculture and the Co operative State Extension Services will, as in past years, stress home gardening and food preservation and assist in providing gardeners with practical how-to-do-it informa tion. Initial plans call for a se ries of regional conferences of Federal and State officials and community garden leaders. The first of such conferences were held jn Atlanta and New Orleans in October. I “Twenty million Freedom Gar dens is recommended as the mini mum goal for 1948. The produce from these gardens can take the place of many foods vitally need ed for ex;port. “By helping himself to meet in creasing living costs, the home gardener will be helping his own community to make a precious contribution to a hungry world.” Words Of Wisdom (Compiled by Ernest Burch) It is not the ship as much as the skillful sailing that assures a prosperous voyage.—George Wil liam Curtis.

Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than a weak man without a strong point. A dia mond with a .flaw is more valu able than a brick without a flaw. —Wm. J. H. Baetcher. The best way to strengthen one’s judgment is to exercise it.—The Shaft. —Wm. J. Bpetcher. No man ever got lost on a straight road.—Abe Lincoln. • —— ■ Then World War II And Its Accompanying Problems Concerned Most Of Us It’s amazing how many changes a short period of three or f"'® years can bring—how our interests change, how problems change, how topics of conversation changC' These changes are brought hoin° to you even more emphatically w picking up an Echo of Novembe*' 1944 and November 1942.
