AVENUE (Continued from page one) If you are in the habit of tear ing up love letters or private pap ers of any kind, we would suggest using a match as an added pre caution, these days. It might be little short of tragedy if a “jig saw” puzzle fan happened to get hold of your waste basket. It is really uncanny the impres sion important events make on children. Little Everette-Holt Kiv ette, age just five, was listening to President Roosevelt’s Inauguration speech Saturday over the radio. Someone asked if he knew who was speaking, to which the bright-eyed youngster immediately replied: “Sure! Thats’ the man who like to have got shot!” The NEWSpaper always knows! A card received Friday morning from the hostess at the Hotel Com modore in Washington announced: Among the recent arrivals in the Nation’s Capitol registered at the Hotel Commodore from Roanoke Rapids was Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Sherry. This popular young couple evident ly thought they were putting a “fast one” over on their many friends. This was the first word from the newly-weds after leav ing Roanoke Rapids. In the face of the present bank ing situation we read where "checks” will be all the rage this season, so far as fashion is con cerned. “Certified Checks” - - - we presume! Did you hear the one about the Duke University student who threw his thumb out of joint the other dav. trying to “hitch hike” to Chapel Hill? It remained for C. N. Sowell (“Nick” to you) “radio man” and electrical maintainance manager of the Carolina Hotel at Raleigh to settle a little point concerning the difference between “official” Air-mail beacons and advertising beacons. Some little comment has come to the attention of this news paper recently about the beacons “bothering” motorists at night. “Nick,” perhaps knows more a bout radio than Marconi, or Arm strong, and certainly knows his stuff on “electricity.” Altho it is still a point to be settled as to whether official Air ’ Mail beacons turn from left to right, or right to left, and adver tising beacons vice versa, there is one thing certain: the official bea cons turn 6 R. P. M (rev-ol-you shuns per minute) while the adver tising beacons turn only 2 R. P. M. An interesting fact, pointed out by Mr. Sowell is that even the advertising beacons, used in the larger towns, on 110 volts use 1,000-Watt bulbs, with 250,000 Candle-power, and at a cost in current of approximately $21.00 per month. Far be it from me to turn this into a “Blessed Event” column during the boss’ absence, hut here are two arrivals: Born to Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Loy, Tuesday, March 7th, a fine baby boy, weighing six pounds and two-ounces, at Roanoke Rapids Hospital. Mr. Loy is a brother of H. S. Lo^, and is manager of the shoe de partment at Leggett’s * * * * Born to Mr. and Mrs. J. B Hardy, Wednesday, March 8th, a nine-pound son at their home on Hamilton Street. Mr. Hardy is compositor at the Herald composing room. Both mothers and sons are doing nicely, it is said, and either may bid fair to be named: “Franklin Delano.” I Saturday morning a delightful meeting of the Coca-Cola club was held at the Rosemary Drug Store with Mr. Alfred Martin as host (script). The meeting was well attended despite the fact that in clement weather had delayed the arrival of very necessary cooks and maids. Having disposed of the weather in a few well chosen remarks, the members took up the order of business. No scandal of import ance was brought out, but it was related that Mrs. A’s new dress, of which she is so proud, is en tirely too young for her. Fur thermore, it was the general con sensus of the club that she was spending entirely too much money for clothes, prices and her hus band’s income being what they are. It was duly noted that the ar rival of the Stork might be ex pected, with several new entries. The secretary was given a rising vote of thanks for her promptness in disclosing these items. (Once she broke the Great Tidings before the husband was aware of the fact.) A discourse on “How my hus band can expect me to get along on so little,” by Mrs. P, was thor oughly enjoyed. The short dis cussion by Mrs. C on “Late Hours,” brought sighs of applause from those assembled. Fortunately, the absence of a few regular members gave the club a rare opportunity which was uti lized to the fullest. Concluding with the statements that hungry husbands, waiting establishments would perish should members not attend to pressing duties, the meeting was adjourned to meet again Monday morning at the same hour, much to the delight of the above named host, Mr. Mar tin. And here, at last folks, in spite | of the fact that my friends said that I couldn’t do it, is a “column” without too many “I’s” in it, all of which brings to mind the sad story of a certain middle-western columnist a few years ago, who left the following note to his edi tor: Dear Ed tor: You w 11 note am not turn ng n a column today, all because of the excellent reason that my type wr ter s broken. You see, Ed. t was th s way, the darn “eye’ key on my mach ne got out of whack and you w 11 real ze that t s utterly mposs ble for me to get out my column w thout the “eye” key. —H. F. H. "Big-Ten” Sweetheart Blanche Waddell, co-ed at the University of Illinois, has been made “sweetheart of the Big Ten’’ She was crowned queen at the charity ball held at Northwestern University. Blanche is 5 ft. 7 in. . . a ravishing brunette and weighs 125 pounds.
