Where has the summer gone?
That’s the question in the minds
of thousands of High school
students here in eastern North
Carolina, as they head back to
classes.
The question is as old as time.
For all of us the pleasant ex
periences in life come and go
much too rapidly. Adults as well
as teen agers are always
dismayed at the speed with

which a vacation is used up.
Tonight the New Bern High
school Bears launch their 1973
gridiron season. They face
Havelock at NBHS Stadium. A
big crowd will come up from
Havelock, and it is strongly
urged that New Bern High
school’s student body show up in
large numbers.
Although the enrollment at
NBHS is much greater than it
used to be, student attendance
at the school’s games hasn’t
kept pace. Until school spirit
reaches a higher level, larger
attendance by adults can’t be
expected.
Not only should students at all
schools in eastern North
Carolina exhibit more interest
in their teams, and prove it by
attending games, but they
should make sure that their
behavior at these games is
above reproach.
At ball games, more than
anywhere else, teen agers are
exposed to the gaze of many
people. If you show respect for
yourself, those around you, and
your school, it will make a go^
impression that could be im
portant.
Adults who take note of your
behavior will be more inclined
to support your school when you
approach them for an ad in a
year book, or help in some other
school undertaking.
Too much has been said about
the generation gap that exists
between teen agers and
parents, as well as other adults.
Just possibly too much of the
Marne for this gap is placed on
the older generation.
One thing is true. Both
generations love sports and at a
ball game they haVe a great
deal in common. No one pulls
harder for the home team than
some of the adult fans, and quite
often they don’t have any
children in school.
Foreign Cars
It’s a funny thing about some
of those foreign cars. Most of the
people who can afford them —
can’t fit into them!
THE WINNER ,.. Johnny Krlsle, 10year.old son of Mr. and
Mrs, Earl Krlsle, Springfield, Tennessee, showed the champion
Hereford female at the recent Southeastern Area Junior Hereford
Heifer Show held at the Ellington Agricultural Center, Nashville.
The red-headed boy’s junior heifer calf, which pleased the judge’s
eye, was winner over 49 other entries. Shown with Johnny (at the
halter) are (from left) John Besh, Emelle, Ala., judge; Cliff Nash,
Barnesville, Ga., American Junior Hereford Association director;
Libby Woodard, Springfield, Tenn., Junior Hereford Association
president; Marion White, Dyersburg, Tenn., Hereford Queen; Jim
Coley, Lafayette, show committee chairman; P. H. White, Jr.,
Dyersburg, American Hereford Association director; and Johnny,

Although earthworms have no
eyes, they can distinguish
between light and darkness.
When the earth around them
dries up, they coil up and with
the moisture from their own
body form a mud cell, and wait
for the next rain.
If you think this is amazing,
consider the fact that each
earthworm is both male and
female, but mates with ano^er
worm to fertilize eggs. ’This
fertilization occurs in a cocoon
that forms near the front of the
body.
The eggs are so small they
have to be seen with a
miscroscope. The young hatch
out in about two weeks, and are
less than an eighth of an inch in
length. Two years pass before

they are full grown.
You may have seen ear
thworms that were close to 12
inches long, but that ain’t
nothing. There are some in
South Africa and Australia that
reach five feet in length. If you
think we’re kidding, place your
bets.
There’s nothing much an
earthworm can do to survive,
when you put him on a hook, but
he has a fighting chance against
Mrds. If a robin breaks him in
two, pulling him out of the
ground, by the head or tail, a
worm can grow back whatever
he has lost.
All earthworms look alike to
us, but there are 90 species in
America, includng some that
exist in fresh and salt water.
Incidentally, earthworms don’t
brag. Neither should any
human, after reading this.
