Friday, November 1, 1963 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Page Three Looking Glass- (Continued from Page 1) Miss Lizzie Hancock, in the second grade, preferred a keen switch, while Miss Ruth Berry was partial to the ruler. On one occasion, when class room fisticuffs cropped up. Miss Lizzie sent the two of us out to select switches for each other. The switch selected by our adversary was of reason able size, but burning with vengeance the writer managed to locate a much bigger one with knots on it. Surveying the two switches, when we returned to the room. Miss Lizzie taught the future editor of The Mirror a painful lesson in poetic justice. Instead of using the knotty, over-size switch on the Intended victim, she proceeded to tan us with it. Miss Ruth—who deserved to be as beloved as she is—got results with a minimum of ef fort. She would bend your hand back, when you had misbehaved badly, and smack it with a ruler. You got the message in a hurry. What we most need is the prayer of fervent desire for growth in grace, expressed in patience, meekness, love, and good deeds.--Mary Baker Eddy DIXON BROS.

An art department assistant holds a cut-out portrait of Mario Chiari before some of the paintings of sets he has designed and built for the film production, “The Bible,” which is based on the Book of Genesis. TOT ^Talk So far as we know this ac tually happened. As we heard it, a little girl knocked on a neigh borhood door on Halloween. When the door was opened, she stood there in a fetching cos tume, but wearing no mask. As the tot opened her bag to put the usual treat in it, the neighbor noticed that her “face” lay at the bottom of the sack. “Why don’t you wear your mask?” she was asked. A tiny voice whispered, “I’m scared of It.” WE BUY WRECKED AUTOS MODELS 1955 AND UP When You Think of Uwif Auto Ports — Think of Us. SAULTER AUTO SACV^GE CO.

CENTRAL NEWS New Bern's Most Complete Greeting Card Department 208 MIDDLE ST. ME 7-9794 Here’s another cute one bor rowed from the Mount Olive Tribune. “I don’t want to scare you,” the third grader told his teacher, “But my daddy says If I don’t get better grades somebody Is gonna get spanked.” And, from the same source, we pass along the story of the college senior, dressed in cap and gown, who handed his di ploma to his father with this remark: “Well, I finished law school to please you and mom. Now I’m going to become a motorcycle cop like I’ve been saying since I was six.” There’s food for serious thought In this yarn. New Bern parents can be forgiven If they have a strong urge to select the profession that their off spring will follow, but pres suring a young man or woman Into an undeslred calling Is less than wise. Admittedly, the advice you offer may be sound, and your youngster might live to regret not following It. On the other hand. If he does follor It, and ends up a square plug In a round hole, you’ll be blamed for the resulting frustration hence forth and forever more. It’s a sad fact that many of us spend hours of vain regret, wishing that we had gone Into another line of endeavor. Per haps It would have been a mis take, but In our heart we’ll al ways believe otherwise. Your son or daughter Is like that too. A hands off attitude may be distasteful to you, but it’s probably the best policy. BEAUTY QUEENS AND DOGS Barnham, England--The judges of the annual beauty queen contest will now judge dogs Instead of girls. The chairman of the organi zation explained that there were WOODROW MOORE'S Supplying Indoor Comfort With Carrier Heating and Air Conditioning 2609 Trent Road many beautiful girls but In the past three years only seven had entered the contest.
