Parker Affirmed
_ I
The youngest member of the ju
diciary, Judge R. Hunt Parker, was
affirmed in his first case to be ds
cided by the Supreme Court. The
point, one new in this State and on
which the highest courts of other
States have differed, was wether
or not the proceeds of a govern
ment life insurance policy is li
able for the debts of the distribu
tees of the insured. The soldier
died and monthly payments were
made to his parents. Upon their
death the brother and sister claim
ed the proceeds free of debts of
their parents. Judge Parker held
with them and was upheld by the
appellate court.

“SPECTATOR”
SPECULATES
The lame-duck Congress will be
urged to throw away its crutches
and go in for a swim.
Every time that Europe looks
across to see the American Eagle
it observers only the rear end of
an ostrich.
Bootleggers and hijackers had
better be looking for new occupa
tions.
Teeth are those little white
things that are removed just be
fore the doctors say, “It must be
the tonsils, then.”
Maybe what Hoover really meant
by his prophecy of grass in the
industrial centers, if the Demo
crats won, was that the cities
would once more behold the long
green.
Is prosperity around the comer
of the ballot box ?
Yours,
“SPECTATOR.”
ON BEING THANKFUL
(President’s Address Junior Class)
There may be times when we are
not as thankful as we should be be.
cause we think maybe our luck is
not with us. But no matter what
the incident may be, we always
have something to be thankful fcr.
Beautiful flowers, homes, trees,
and many other things that we
term as small and insignificant,
may just as well fill ,.ur hearts
with sunshine and happiness and
make us thankful; as for the larger
ones, as wealth, expensive cars,
fine furs and costly rings.
We should be thankful that we
are living, that we have a chance
to do something to make the world
better before we leave, for some
people who do not have a chance.
We have a home in which to
live, a chance to go to school—
all these things should make us
give thanks fob there are thousands
who do hot and have not had these
chances.
EDWARD D. LUTER, Prest.,
Junior Class 1932-33.
Misses Amanda and Evelyn Till
man spent Thanksgiving in their
home at Cary.
