SWIFT REUNION On Sunday, Aug. 24, the nine ? children of Rt.v, Wellington Swift met at the old home at Reese. This was the first time ; the whole family had ever been together, as some of the older children had married and left the old home before the youngest . was born. T%e children present were Lee Swift of Reese, Mrs. D. C. Eller of Rutledge, Tenn . Zeb Swift of Elizabethton, Tenn., Mrs. J. C. Culver of Elizabeth f ton, Mrs. Charles Swift of Santa Rosa, Texas, Carl Swift of Des ? Moines, Iowa, Dan Swift of De , troit, Mich., Mrs. W. H. Norris of Brunswick, Ga.. and Roy Swift J of Reese. Thirteep of the grand ' children and 15 of the great ?I grandchildren were also present. , At noon dinner was served on the lawn to a large number of relatives and friends. In the aft ernoon a great many friends called. During the day there were over 100 callers. One es pecially interest^ event of the day was a talk made by Mr. Smith Hagaman of Winston-Sa ? lem. Dale Carnegie Here'* an idea from ex-presi dent Herbert C. Hoover that's got a lot of wisdom tied up in tour lines. It deals with thinking" not the thinking of just one man but of whole groups of human beings, dealing particularly with mass audiences. "It is one of the most orofound and important of exact etiolo gical truths that man in the mass does not think, but only feels." One explanation for all this is that it is much easi r to feel than it is to think. Howard Lindsay, star and co-author of the famous play, "Life With Father," says: I try to keep away from making an audience think. My first ef fort is to get them to feel. If an audience moves over the line from thinking to feeling, then the audience is putty in the hands of the actor." Even when you get a group of people thinking, there must be divisions among them, Walter Lippman, the columnist, says: "Where all think alike, no one thinks very much." And it is even true that if children think as their parents do, then there is not much think ing in that family. This also holds true for a neighborhood, or for any group of people in an organi zation. William Jennings Bryan had a tremendous following in this country, even though he never achieved what he set out to ac complish ? to live in the White House. But he did know how to appeal to people, how to sway them and move them. He once said: "The secret of handling great massses of people is to make them think when, as a matter of fact, they are only feeling." The late Charles M. Schwab, founder of the Bethlehem Steel Company, said: "If I can get one man in a department who can really think, then I feel that department has a natural-born leader. The others can carry out his thoughts. It takes one man to think, a thou sand to execute." Aibcrt Edward Wiggam, the writer and lecturer, says: "When the great mass of people think, they're only airing their pre judices. They take their ancient prejudices out of the closet, brush them and put them back in again in exactly the same condition they were before." Most people don't even want to think. Note how the average man or woman quotes his news paper, happy in letting someone else do his thinking for him. State College Hints For Homemakers I Patching will prove only a temporary remedy for many cracks in plastered walls, archi tectural engineers of the U. S. Department of Agriculture ad vise. Sooner or later cracks may appear again if the underlying cause has not been remedied. Cracks are often a sign that foundations are settling, support ing posts are rotting, or timbers are shrinking. Much trouble can be avoided if repairs are made to framework or foundation as soon as definite cracks show up. To discover where repairs are needed, go over the house and notice where floors are no longer level, or doors sag, or windows do not fit tightly. It may be that some part of the house needs jacking up for repairs in the foundation underneath. If ceilings are badly cracked, the joists that support them may be too light to prevent sagging. New plaster will not help unless the joists are strengthened first. Cracks often appear in plaster around chimneys that pass through the house. They occur at the joining between masonry and wood framing, because wood shrinks and swells with weather but masonry does not. Once the cause of cracks has been cured, cracks maye be filled in per manently and successfully. When doing this job, first remove all loose material and dirt and open the crack wide enough so that plastering material can be forced into the full depth of the crack. Spackling compound, which comes as a powder to mix with water, is easy to use and satis factory for small cracks. For wide cracks and larger broken places, fibred plaster or patching plaster is recommended. WOMAN HAS 53 CATS^ Los Angeles ? Upon complaints by neighbors, health officials called at the home of Mrs. Eva Craft and found that she had at least 53 cats of every description.
