“Swing your partner,” “All hands around”. It’s square dance time again Saturday night at Rosemary Recreation Club at 1100 Franklin Street. The dance begins at 8 p.m. and ends at mid night. Music by Overton 'Cook and “His Four Aces”, the “Class of the Carolinae”. Last Saturday night the door committee had to stop selling tickets at 11 p.m.— there teas such a crowd of danc ers. Better come early. Popular prices! Season tickets will again be placed on sale this season for the home games on the Romanco schedule. Twelve games for one dollar. A drive to sell three hun dred tickets wil begin during A pril. The Romancos will average two games a week at home, with one away. —o— Experience teaches me a lot of things that I never cared to learn. A Bingo party for the benefit of British War Relief will be sponsored by Rosemary Recrea tion Club next Friday night at the Recreation Hall, 1100 Franklin St. Some elusive dimensions—with no apologies to the 5th—The long green—the short sermon—the wide skirt—the narrow path—the high stakes—the low hole—the lean meat—the fat check. —o— In a letter to “Greasy" Neal last week, Dopey Dan said “Truth is scarcer than fiction”—I’m tired of reading the war news, and cables brief and in full; I’m weary perus ing bulletins, with the accent on the BULL—I’m hoping I’ll read some morning, ere I pass to age from youth, just another foreign paragraph of the plain old fash ioned truth’’. —o— Mr. and Mrs. George Burdine dropped in to see me on Tuesday. George and the Missus were on their way back to Washington, D. O. from a vacation in Key West, Fla. George is manager of the district fire dept, softball that played the Romancos at Ledger wood Park last summer. Came walking in with a great bag of oranges and grapefruit—fresh off the “vines”. Enjoyed both the visit and the fruit, George. Thanks a lot! Pickups N’ Putouts: Those who jump at conclusions— often fall short of the facts—take a tip, my fran’—In this corner, ladies and gentlemen—“Kid” FLU, weight—a plenty—and packing a knockout wallop in both hands— and feet—I should know—he land ed a kayo on my whiskers last week—he’s lurking on every street corner—Cranford Hoyle walked in with three quail and presented them to me—I really appreciated that, Cranford! George Gurley, Alie Wood and Murray Stacia cooked a fish supper for me Sun day night—and my pal Carolyn Aliigood—who has a cast on her leg and around her waist—insists on insisting that she has on a corset—You got what it takes, sis ter. Stay in there and fight ’em! Mr. and Mrs. James Brown, Mrs. Ida Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Norman Best spent Sunday in Rocky Mount.
