Page Three
Stevie Patterson may not be the
most unpredictable nine-year-old
in the world, but his parents, Dr.
and Mrs. Simmons Patterson, would
not hesitate to nominate him for
the dubious distinction.
- It isn’t that Stevie is a bad kid.
Excitement just happens to happen
whenever he is anywhere around.
Take for example what occurred on
ope of the bitter:xold days we’ve
had recently.
Barging out into the foul weather
with the Patterson cat, the young
ster decided to give the feline a
toeak and snuggle him inside his
jacket. It was a kind and consider-
ate idea, but when Stevie zipped

up the zipper of the jacket, it
caught the cat’s tummy.
The cat wasn’t happy, and neither
was Stevie, and they were, both cut
ting up something fearful. Mrs.
Patterson, who loves animals like
the rest of the family, tried to res
cue the kitty and ^ot bitten in the
process.
Or. Patterson was home, and was
called upon for a consultation. It
was all toO apparent that the cat’s
tummy wasn’t to be easily extricat
ed, so there was just one thing to
do.
Everybody, Including most espe
cially the kitty, took off for the
Patterson Clinic. There it was Dr.
Patterson’s intention to give the
cat a dose of novocaine to ease the
pain, and do what was necessary
to get him unzipped.
The cat, his excitement notwith
standing, watched the physician in-
teiitly as he prepared to tackle the
job. When the needle was ready,
Dr. Patterson advanced toward the
zipped-up patients
'Terrified, the Patterson pet let
out an ungodly yell, leaped out of
the jacket and almost bounced off
the ceiling. He was already run
ning when he landed, and took off
for distant points.
His tummy remained iiitact, but
it won’t ever be cold enough in
New Bern again to induce hinf'to
snuggle up to anything or any
body.

Habit of Old Days
Has Proved Useful
Keeping birth dates and other
vital statistics in the frOnt of the
family Bible isn’t quite as popular
as it once "was. In fact, few New
Bernians make a practice of it.
However, old timers frequently
submit Bibles to Craven’s friendly
Register of Deeds, Jane Holland,
when seeking a birth certificate.
It’s mighty acceptable proof, too.
Most New Bernians
Mis-Pronounce It
Notice your fellow New Bernians
when they say Massachusetts. Like
ly as not they won’t say Massa
chusetts at all, but Massa-Tusetts.
It isn’t necessarily the uneducat
ed who do it. Some of the town’s
leading citizens—in many instances
college graduates—^are guilty.
By the way, how do you say it?
