NEWS
(Crowded out last week)
Enfield Rotary Club had an in
teresting meeting Tuesday night
with the President William Rob
ert Davis in charge. Basketball
was largely the theme of the
occasion, club members being in
cited guests. Watson Sherrod in
charge of the program compli
mented the local players at the
came time praising Principal,
Hickman of the Enfield school,
who has given valuable time and
thought to the Enfield Basketball
team. Fred Hoyle, a well known
athlete was present and he fitting
ly introduced coach, Murray Grea
son head basketball coach at
Wake Forest, as well as football
line coach there. Coach Greason
in an interesting way had much
to say in favor of basketball as a
fine sport, which it seems attracts
more spectators than any other
sport in America. His address was
not only entertaining but highly
instructive. After his address
Coach Greason showed a film of
the Wake Forest-South Carolina
football game. This created decid
ed interest.
A delightful meal was served
by Mr. and Mrs. Dick Taylor.

Enfield Police have jjuftt been
furnished with combination billie
and tear gas guns. The weapons
-can be used as billies, have safety

ridge. This is quite an addition to
the equipment of the town police.

Circle No. 1 of the Methodist
Church Met Monday afternoon at
the parsonage with Mrs. Newton.
The chairman, Mrs. L. J. Barn
hill presided and the meeting was
opened by singing a hymn. Mrs.
S. A. Dunn conducted the devo
tional—making a lovely talk on
Christian living and closing her
• emarks with prayer. The regular
business routine was then taken
up and splendid reports were giv
en from the committees. Another
shut-in was taken to be remem
bered in March. Two new mem
bers, Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Greene
were added to the roll. The “sup
per-less supper” netted a nice
sum as each member gave a dol
lar. When the absent members and
the members not donating at the
meeting contribute, the circle will
have a good start towards buying
the two adopted orphan’s spring
clothing. During the social hour
Mrs. Newton and her joint host
esses, Mrs. H. A. Bridgers and
Mrs. Nellie Matheny, served a
delicious sweet course to the 28
members present. Everyone then
went over to the parsonage, which
had just been painted on the in
side and other much needed im
provements made, making it most
attractive.
Anderson's
Garage Is
Broken Into
(Crowded out last week)
On Monday morning Anderson’s
Garage of Enfield was found to be
robbed. Mr. Anderson on enter
ing his business place discovered
the garage had been forcibly en
tered the night before, and that
approximately $20.00 in silver was
missing from his cash register, as
well as an automobile from the
garage, property of Walter Ander
son.
Mr. Anderson found the car
within a few hours on the Avenue
leading from Highway 30i to R.
Hunter Pope’s residence. The bur
glar had been unable to drive it
any further as the front wheels
locked. The car had been in the
shop for repair, and the fact that
this had not been done probably
saved permanent loss of it.

By Chain Store
More than 14,500 veterans of
World War II were hired by the
Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea

Of these veterans, Mr. Haxtford
said, 8,548 are "old employees” re
turning to their jobs while 6,405
veterans, not formerly employed
by the food chain, were added to
company payrolls. The emphatic

ONE-A-DAY
Vitamin A and D Tablets
EACH tablet contains 25% more
than minimum daily require
ments of these two essential Vi
tamins. Insufficient Vitamin A may
cause night blindness, may lessen
resistance to infection of the nose,
throat, eyes, ears and sinuses.
Vitamin D is necessary to enable
the body to make use of the calcium
and phosphorus in our food.
Insure your minimum requirements
of these two important Vitamins, by
taking a ONE-A-DAY Vitamin A
and D Tablet every day.
Economical—50(< - or less - per
month.
Convenient—you take only one
tablet a day.
Pleasant—children actually like
•,the taste — and so will you.
IMPORTANT—when buying Vita
mins, compare potencies and prices.
Get them at your drug store. *
new personnel.
“We want our employees back
because they are valued personnel
who can best help us in our con
stant policy of improving our ser
vices to the nation’s food buyers,”
Mr. Hartford said. “In some cases
where we made personal calls on
former employees who did not ap
ply, we found men who really
wanted their old jobs back but for
one reason or another, often com
bat disability, felt timid about
applying.”
Warmly commanding Congress
for enacting legislation to protect
returning veterans as a group,
Mr. Hartford said his company
welcomes back the veetran as a
“fellow worker returning from a
leave of absence.” The company
tries to recognize any special
skills he developed in the service
and endeavors to assign disabled
veterans to jobs commensurate
with their physical limitations, he
emphasized.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
! -_
GEORGE: “Yes, I certainly would like to
hear why you call that an old fashioned
idea, Judge.”
OLD JUDGE: “Glad to tell you, George.
Until recently, a person known as an al
coholic was generally treated as a social
outcast. Little if anything was done to
understand him or help him. But, during the
past few years, medical research and study
has developed that alcoholics are really sick
people... that there is usually a deep
rooted physical, social or emotional reason
,! behind their behavior. That’s why today so
much is being done to help them by finding
out and correcting the condition that leads
them to excess.”
GEORGE: “How many folks ar# there like
that, Judge?”
OLD JUDGE:" Well, according to scientific
research, 95% of the people who drink,
drink sensibly. 5% do so unwisely, at times.
Included in that 5% is the small percentage
of the sick people I’m talking about.”
GEORGE: “That certainly gives me a
clearer picture. It’s the most sensible ap
proach I’ve ever heard on the subject.”
