The Broncos came back the sec ond halt with a tricky defense that completely froze the Smith attack. Meanwhile "Wild Man" Boone and "Duck" Debnam, Fayetteville cen ter and guard, began to romp — and before the crowd knew what had happened they had scored 10 points to bring the count to 27-24 in favor of Smith. A Smith time-out took the steam off the rally, however, and the locals were never able to tie the score.

THIS TAKES GOOD MANAGEMENT! fVh V It*s s neat feat to navigate a windy corner with a pile of packages and keep skirts down to a modest level.

We*re rather proud that electricity hasn’t been rationed and hasn’t gone up, like so many household necessities. In fact, the average family actually gets about twice as much electricity for its money today as it did 15 years ago. lUs takes good management, too. • Bmt NELSON EDDY in THE ELECTRIC HOUR," tdth Rohm Armknum*$ Onkottra.
