PAOB 8BVEM •liiiiior IMay at liooiio Trail Hailed As IJi'Nt Ever The ,lv\ulor play "The Funny r.rats" presented in the school aiull- toriiun at llooue Trail last Friday nialit has been hailed by many as the best ever Riven at Uoone Trail. The play had to do with a ycniUR attrac- live widow (N’ell Harrington) want- iiiR to get married of course, with two brats Hat riel (Juanita McLeod) .ind bli'l; (I.ee I’atterson) who went (lUl oi' Iheii' way to keet) their luo- tlier rroin marrying by playing tricks on ilieir prospective stepfather Wha ley McWhorter (Charles Stewart). Wli.u they did do to him, Wow! It shouldn't happen to a dog! Tito ser vant Aurora iBorealls Pike (Jean Bow’den) kept the audience laughing she murdered the English lan- wood, an astrologist; and Booger- face Boggs (Aurora's boy friend), Glenn Patterson, It was a great play boys and girls, and personally 1 think you should carry It to other schools. Yes, It Is that good! Too good to be burled, Jn fact. Attend the Operetta at Campbell as guage. Jane Ray .Howard, as Aunt Ilottie played the old maid some thing astounding! How she ever made lierself up to look the part is beyond me. but If you looked in the mirror Jane Ray, you got a glimpse of how you will look forty yoors irom now unless tlie right man comes along, Otlieis wlio did equally well to make this play somethiug to write about were: John Collins, a very at tractive young man; Sadie Patterson, bis fiancee: Fulton McNeill, tlio .tiiicle (and be looked the part); .Magaleuo Pago, as Gwyuotte Gad- T « M Greetings, Folks Y* 5^ 5?

' Response to ClotWng Ad The response to the ad which ap- |)eared last week asking for used clothing brought results. It alSo proved statistics false if those offer ing clothing for sale are reprosonta- tlve of the size of the people. By this wo are trying to say that all the clothing brought us is for small folks, while statistics say (or did I dream it?) that slxty-flve per cent of the people are stout. Oh. well, •perhaps the larger ones (as one lady expressed it) have such-a bard time getting anything large enough they have to hold on to it as long as pos sible. We have fun, though. 'This Is one I want to tell 'on Clarence Hol der, operator of the service station ■up front, for it is just too good to keep. A colored gentleman came in the store and we asked him if there was anything we could do for him. No, ho guessed not, his wife did say something about getting her some clotiios, but ho didn’t know her size. But he added, “If Mr. Clarence was here (Clarence was out at that time) he would know what size my wife wears. Yos'um.’’ You would be surprised that very few people know where Seminole is. One person told me that he had been trying all day Friday to find the place, finally reaching here about sundown. Seminole Is on highway 421 one mile oast of Broadway, con veniently located at the intersection of two much-traiveled roads. As Oo(kI As His Word One person who does what he says he will is Mr. H. C. Stephens of LIl- ilngton R-2. Sometime ago he told tne when his subscription ran out be would give me his renewal,' So many people tell me that, and then they either go to the office and pay it or they don’t pay at all, that frankly I wouldn’t have thought very hard of him if he had done the same thing; but no, he remembered! Thank you, Mr. Stephens, for helping tile to keep faith in mankind. Not Many Could Do Wliut Thik Father Did While reading in the paper re cently about a father who asked that no Inquest be held' in the death of his six-year-old son as It was plain to see that the taxi driver was not at fault because the child ran Into the side of the cab, we realized that one person wanted to do the right thing. So many people want to place the blame whore it does not belong and cause Innocent persons to suffer. As the saying goes, “misery likes company.” “It I suffer, why not make someone else suffer?"’ There’s too much of this In the world today, and my hat goes off to a father who through his tears can be Just and say, “he is not to blame,” for with all the kindness shown him by this father that driver will always re member that child’s death, though bo was Innocentl.v involved, and it will not be pleasant. Among the Sick Ned McLeod has been ill at his home on this route. Raymond Rosser is confined in Lee county hospital at Sanford. It’s a Girt, Folks! The Alonzo Thomases of this route are the proud parents of a baby girl born in Lee county , hospital last Wednesday. Her name is Georgia Lee. Mrs. Thomas Is the former Doris Arnetto. said. But, where Infestation is con- 1 tinning and as a preventative for further Infestation, Mr, Conner rec ommends that an appUcatioiKof ni trogen be placed on the grain. This will not kill the aphids, but it will promote a more vigorous growth of the plants and will make them less susceptible to further damage. Such a preventative is also suggest ed for pasture and forage crops, Mr. Conner said. to town M C^KiST!AAS* /J ScUute Small Grains Being Attacked by Plant Lice Fields of small grain in almost every section of the State are being attacked by plant lice, says James T. Conner, in charge of Entomology for the State College Extension Service. Oats^ especially those planted ear ly, is the crop being attacked most widely by the little insects, Mr. Con ner said. However, they have also been found in fields of wheat and barley, as well as In the pastures and forage crops. Usually plant lice, or aphids as they are known by many, attack the plants in large numbers. They dam age the plant by sucking the juices from it, causing it to gradually wilt and (lie. Now that cold weather is prevail ing over most of the State, it is quite possible that many of the’plant lice will be destroyed, the Entomologist to our friends and a big, hearty Christ* mas wish to you all, this merry, merry Christinas season.
