Mfiu towi-tiifaufn U.UU1UB aiuwb The NEW BERN \imm PUri.lSHID WIIKLY ir A '' HIART y • NORTH VOLUME 13 NEW BERN, N. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1970 ■ NUMBER 37 Craven County’s Register of Deeds, Theresa Shipp, is called upon to deal with ail kinds of people, in person and hy mail. Printed bdow is the letter she received from a former service man in Detroit, and her reply. Dear Miss Theresa Shipp: It is with warmest appreciaUon that I express my gratitude to you employed in the sending of my Army separation papers. They came right on time. The atmosphere of your efficiency has reached all the way to Detroit, Michigan, and who knows, maybe farther. The two dollars in cash is yours personally. Thanks again! Sincerely, Office C. Brown. A letter like that deserved and got an immediate answer, and if Offie C. Brown is the sort of person we think he is he won’t soon throw the following missive in a waste basket. Dear Mr. Brown: Your letter of thanks arrived this morning, and what a nice way to start Monday morning.

Their brutal honesty punctures the ego, but you sure know where you stand. As we’ve said before, the oniy mortals who don’t, in varying degrees, wear the mask (rf pretense are the very young and the very old. Mopj^ts haven’t put it on yet, and the quite elderly, bless their hearts, have tossed it aside. While we’re on the subject of children, this gramp feels sorry at this time of year for all you mothers and fathers. Those who warn you to do your Christmas shopping early are on the wrong track. Weeks before the eventful ni^t of December 24, your kids teU you what they want Santa Claus to bring them. Fearful the supply might be exhausted later on, you make the necessary arrangements with the Jolly gentleman. To your dismav, shortly thereafter that offspring of yours loses all interest in what he was clamoring for. Suddenly he decides on something else, leaving you holding the bag.
