INVITE THEM IN Even freezing weather like we’ve had in New Bern this winter should have no discouraging influence on you lucky youngsters who are all wrapped up in romance. Maybe it’s old fashioned of us to think so, but we still cling to the notion that the nicest place in all the world to court in is a cozy parlor. Preferably a parlor with an open fire place, but almost as perfect with a less inspiring stove. Canoes on moonlit streams, or a stroll beneath a canopy of stars are highly over rated. A parlor, with the light turned low, and soft music from a table radio, can turn even the most hesitant suitor into a dashing Sir Galahad, and the hopeful maiden who overlooks this age-old fact is apt to be sidetracked temporarily, or even permanently. In her quest for an eligible husband, dating in the parlor does at times have its limitations. There’s always that inevit able little brother to be bought off, and when it’s really cold, Mom and Pop are apt to freeze. Marooned, as some of them are, in the back bedroom while a couple of ungrateful, love-struck teen agers get full advantage of the family’s fuel supply, they have little to be cheerful about. It’s even worse, if the television set happens to be in the parlor, and Pop has to give up his favorite westerns while some kid with stars in his eyes is twisting a radio dial to pick up rock-and-roll music that will rattle rafters in the entire house. A lot of fathers aren’t that considerate. They are going to see television, romance notwithstanding, and that creates quite a predicamwit. This, in short, is why some boys and girls make it a point to never date at home. Hence, if you’re fortunate enough to have a parlor all to yourself, when Johnny comes calling, have a little pity on the old folks you’ve shanghaied to a cold corner. Call them out of the deep freeze long enough to get ric of their numbness. After all, they’re the nicest couple'you’l" ever have a chance to double date with. Historical Gleanings —By— FRANCES B. CLAYPOOLE and ELIZABETH MOORE WELL TIMED Starting the Heart Fund drive along about Valentines Day IS appropriate, to say the least. Of course, it’s sort of dis concerting to be reminded that even the most romantic ticker IS apt to act up from afflictions other than love, but such is the unfortunate case. Because no one who is fairly well enlightened can be blind to the great advances made by medical science in the realm of heart surgery. The Mirror urges all citizens of New Bern and Craven County to support this annual drive for funds. It is gratifying to see outstanding civic leaders in our various communities join forces to further a cause as worthy as this one. Those who have assumed responsibility for the drive’s success are busy people, but busy people are the only folks you dan really count on. Just as vital to the Heart Fund as the publicized leaders are the many volunteers who solicit in their neighborhoods. Their only compensation is the warming awareness that they are devoting a portion of their time and energy to helping their fellow man. The solicitor who calls on you for a contribution will, of course, make a contribution too. The chances are that his or her gift to the Heart Fund will surpass yours, but whether your contribution is small or large it will be a big help. _ Don’t treat the neighbor who knocks on your door in this instance like a panhandler trying to shake you down. Whether you give or not is your business, but rudeness—with or with out a contribution—is inexcusable. - Looking at the Heart Fund from a selfish angle, if that IS the way you want to look at it, it should be obvious that the money so provided might save or prolong your own life. In fact, research already done—thanks to Heart Fund support—has increased your chances to remain among the living for a longer spell. Have a heart, and give the Heart Fund the Valentine gift it needs.

It’s true that childhood loves at best are only temporary, But little boys and little girls are seldom mercenary; They treasure simple, trivial things a grown-up throws away, Unmindful of the price tag that someone had to pay. Yes, love is always sweetest when a kid of eight or ninq Shyly scrawls the name of Mary on a penny Valentine; A flaming heart she’ll view with pride, forever more to keep, While grown-ups throw the things they get upon a garbage heap. —JGMcD. chief, Samuel West. 1 gown, Wil liam McCoy. 1 apron, Thomas Win gate. 1 shift, Mrs. Heath. 1 pine table, John Slade. 1 necklace, Mrs. Flybus. 1 pocketbook, Benjamin Lambeth. 2 ribbons, Mrs. Vance. 1 hood, William Totewine. 1 necklace, William Totewine. 1 barrel with wool, John Charlton.
