Anybody’s list of the most re
markable kids here in New Bern
would have to include Greg Mc-
Guoness, who won’t be four years
old until October. He is the young
er sun of A1 and Ruth McGueness,
who live at 610 Middle street.
I'heir other son, Pat, is 13.
Greg won’t enroll in kindergar
ten until September, but has been
reading quite well for over a year
now. Learning the alphabet was a
cinch for him, and he has memo
rized his numbers up to forty with
remarkable ease.
Brdieve it or not, at the age
of four months he would stop nurs
ing his bottle to listen to television
commercials. He can repeat virtu
al Iv all of the regular ones, word
for word, and even repeats brand
new ones after hearing an an-

About This Questiom
“I want insurance to pay med
ical and hospital bills if I am
sick or injured. But more im
portant is a weekly income while
I am disabled. Does your agency
have a Health-Accident Policy
that pays weekly disability pay
ments and death benefits?”
For the answer to this, and
all your insurance questions,
consult the John R. Taylor
Agency. Phone ME 7-3866.
nouncer say them for the very first
time.
Apparently, his mind is so re
tentive that it permanently re
cords everything he sees and hears.
The early books for juveniles that
his parents procured for him were
read to him only once. After that
he read them himself.
“We figured he was memoriz
ing them,” says Ruth, “and he
probably was. However, he went
a step further by reading books
that we bought him, without hav
ing them first read to him by an
adult.”
As might be expected, he reads
the funnies, and his favorite car
toon is Yogi, the Bear. For tele
vision fare, he likes panel shows
and programs that require con
testants to demonstrate their in
tellect. He spurns puzzles and
games that appeal to children his
age, but enjoys such games as
“Concentration” and the Jan Mur
ray game. He has both among his
playthings.
By the time he was two, he
could identify every card in a deck
of cards. His brother Pat, who is
far from dumb himself, admits
repeatedly that Greg makes him
■ feci stupid.” As for A1 and Ruth,
lliey find it almost frightening,
and each of them expects to end
up with an inferiority complex.
T.ook upon every day ns the
whole of life, not merely as a sec
tion; and enjoy and improve the
present without wishing, through
haste, to rush on to another.—

APPRECIATION
Glean, N. Y. — Firemen an

stairs, cautiously carrying a man
on the stretcher.
Reaching the bottom, they put
the stretcher down to catch their
breath, when the victim, seeing
some mail in his box, got up and
removed it. Returning to the
stretcher he remarked: “I might

1. TRUE.—Airmail letters and parcels receive "Top Pri
ority” treatment at office of mailing, en route, and upon
arrival at office of address. Preference is given to the dis
tribution of airmail, including air parcels, over all other
classes of mail so that airmail may be distributed imme
diately on arrival and delivered at the earliest practicable
time. There is no question that airmail is the “VIP” of
all mail in prestige and handling.
