Page 2 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, October 17, 1958 HOMEMAKER'S CORNER • ... _. By EUGBNtA WHITE, Nmm IcrvlM RapcMMitatIvw Carolina Powar A Light Co. It surprised us tremendously to discover that one of these forlorn Easter biddies, on sale here annual ly, is still very much alive after 10 ev'ci'.tful years. A fat but rather unproductive hen by the name of Greenie, she belongs to Tommy Davis, Jr., and rules the roost at 312 Crescent street. Tommy, now 12, was a tot of two when Peter Cottontail brought her .0 the Davis household. Slie got her name because little Tommy discovered a green feather sprouting from her after she had outgrown her ‘ original purple plumage. Since then she had been a very important member of the family, Greenie isn’t exactly energetic, when it comes to laying eggs. This despite the fact that she has been eating the best laying mash that money can buy for a full decade. ‘■\Ve figure her eggs have cost us at least $25 a piece,” the young ster’s parents say ruefully. Threat ening Greenie wouldn’t do any good, since she realizes that come what may she’ll never end up in the Davis stew pot. During all these years, Greenie has hatched out one lone biddy. It wasn’t long among the living. Tom my also had a pony named Nosey, and the biddy drowned when it got up on Nosey’s drinking tub and tried to make like a duck. The ven ture was most unsuccessful. Speaking of Nosey, he stepped on one of Greenie’s legs one day, and well nigh wrecked it. Mrs. Da\is, who is a graduate nurse, gave the hen all the tenderness and expert attention she could muster up. Recuperation was slow, and Greenie is still handicapped, but she is philosophical about her dis- yjiiAAflUin, J CLEANERS 223 CRAVEN DIAL ME 7-2700 FOR SALE 514 Johnson Street 2-Story Dwelling with 2 Apart ments.

Tommy and his parents wouldn’t trade her for the goose that laid the golden egg, and it’s easy to un derstand why. 'Do You Know the Signs of Life ? By Jeanne Smith, " Dodge Safety Consultant WHEN DRIVING visibility is poor, and you can distinguish only the outlines of traffic signs, your safety may depend on recog nizing the meaning of their shapes. Regulation road sign shapes have been uniform- ly adopted ^’ throughout the country so that motorists traveling from state to state can quickly identify them. Known as the Miss Smith “Signs of Life,” they are posted for your protection. Recognize them—and respect them! —An octagon - shaped sign means come to a full stop arid be sure the way is clear before pro ceeding. —The triangle is the newest of the standard signs and reads “Yield Right of Way.” It re quires drivers to slow down or stop if necessary to give right of way to cross-traffic at intersec tions. —The rectangle or square - sjiaped sign states traffic regulations such as speed limits, parking restrictions, etc. —Diamond-shaped signs tell motorists to slow down, and warn of dan gerous or unusual road conditions ahead, including curves, bumps, bridges, intersections, hills, school zones, etc. —The round sign indi cates a railroad cross ing 300 to 500 feet ahead.
