Around the Town
i=Z= with ZEB DENNY ■ = ; —
A boy of about 8 came to the
Rosemary pool. His swimming suit
was a very shaky pair of old pants.
Apparently ashamed of his garb, he
quit going in. One day as he look
ed longingly through the wire at
the other children having such a
good time, a salesman standing by
noticed him.
"Say, sonny,” he said. "Why
aren’t you in?”
"I ain’t got no suit.”
“Can you swim?”
“No, sir. But I could learn if I
had a suit.”
“Is that so? Well, if you will
learn, I’ll buy you one.”
Away the two went to Leggetts.
When they came back the little fel
low had on a pair of red bathing
trunks. He strutted about for a
few minutes, wanting everybody to
see his new suit and hating to get
it wet. Finally he jumped in and
began kicking and splashing and
making a great fuss.
Whether the salesman came back
for a check up is not known; but
in three days the boy was swim
ming across the pool.
A neighbor with the light of news
breaking across his face said to me,
“Well, Hughes is back.”
“Back?” said I. “Where has he
been?”
“Around the world. Haven’t you
read the papers?”
“No. I missed yesterday’s.”
—So that is how it is these days.
In the Greensboro Daily the Owls
are referred to as “Tom Burnette’s
team”. One sports writer picks
them to win the tournament. May
he have the vision of the prophets
of old.
How long will it be until we find
ourselves saying incredulously that
we remember when people actually
paid a dollar for a ten-minute ride
in an airplane? Not many years a
go I paid three for my first ten
minutes in the air.

Stateser? No. You call him an
American. But does that really dis
tinguish him from a Canadian, a
Mexican, or a Brazilian? With the
present set up of government cen
tralization we might throw aside
that prosaic and political-sounding
“United States” and choose some
thing more euphonious and more
distinguishing. Then we too could
have a name like the English, the
French, the Nipponese.
