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.

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.

Villoge Verses
KEEPSAKE
Love is always sweetest when a boy of eight or nine
Shyly scrawls the name of Mary on a penny Valentine;
The costly gifts of later years can never quite compare
With hearts embraced by paper lace, and kewpids everywhere.
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.
