Around The I Town By W. F. | shelton! In answer to last week's ques tion ? A dollar ran be changed to different ways without us in ft: pennies. And incidentally a dollar ran be changed 40 dif ferent ways without nickels; 74 without dimes; 1158 without quarters and 242 without half dollars. The winners in town were Mrs. Forrest Joyner and Mrs. Kd Kichardson. Out-of lown winners were Mr. Ked Kemp of Koute 1, and Mrs. Ku gene Wilson of ltoute :i. Mr. ?lack Harkins suggested this week's question. How many different political parties have elected Presidents of the Unit ed States? 11?11 Mauy are the stories, both printed and verbal, about the draft registration Wednesday and the funny experiences of regis trars and registrants on R-day. One of the best of these came from Dunn where an inebriate registered and when asked how high he was replied, "about half." There were one or two registered at Mills School here who smelled highly of alcohol but the funniest one was fche Negro, who. when asked his heighth replied, "9 feet and some inches." Then there was the man with one brown eye and one grey eye and the deaf mute that wrote all the necessary answers on a slip of paper and handed the slips in turn bo the registrar. H ? u Practical jokers had a holi day in New York recently. The t pranksters would ask an unsus pecting friend if he would like tickets to the opening of the liurma Itoad. The victim, think ing that this was the opening ! of a new show would invaria bly say yes, whereupon the iokesters would give the victim the telephone number of the Japanese Kinbassy. 11?11 Then there was the National Guard recruit in camp who was on his first visit to the rifle range. The order, "fire at will", was given. The recruit turned slowly to his Sergeant and naively asked, "which one is Will." K? II An eating place in San fowl has little cards on each table in-scriberl: "(iod Bless .America- , Love it or leave it." H? II During Registration Day the 16th. PM believes that: 99,476 aspirants for the honor of being first to register competed for ear ly starts. That 19.001 conscien tious objectors insisted upon their right not to register while 19 women-believers in complete sex equality insisted upon their right to register. That 4.291 persons! Joined registration lines thinking that free calendars were being given out. That' 54.942 gallons of ink was used, including blots and crossings out. That ink companies declared extra divi dends and helped finance defense through payment of excess pro fits tax. That 18,694 statistic ians issued analysis showing tihat the average registrant drives 3-4 of a car; knows 5-8 of a trade; is married to 9-14 of a girl: has 1 1-3 children; and if laid end to end would probably object stren uously. 11?11 Borrowed with reservations rrom F. A. Kerch's column in the Chatham News. The coun try has gone mad over football picking. Fvcrybody who can peck out a few lines almost al ways comes around to selecting football winners. In the man ner of a few who resort to whimsy to voire their selections I'll give you my choices. I like Gravy over biscuits Moon over Miami Fggs over light Moon over Mountain Music over radio (?a'iup over Dunn football over cricket.

The guest speak er for this occasion was Mr. I/O Koy Martin, former Secretary of the State School Commission and now Vice President of the Wach ovia Rank & Trust Co. Mr. Mar tin's address had to do chiefly with the economic outlook for the south as a whole and North Caro lina in particular. He pointed out certain economic handicaps under which the south has labored since the Civil War. He pictured the natural resources and advantages of the souMi for a better economic Status in its relationship to the Illation for the future. He recog nized the diversified farm pro gram and Soil Conservation pro Igram as being one of the most | beneficial steps taken for future I and permanent improvements of farm conditions He also declared that \Jorth I Carolina offered exceptional ad vantages for the location of the j more skilled industries and that an effort should be ma do for the location of such industries in the slate. Especially significant was the statement that he believed that the State of North Carolina should adopt a slate financed nine month school term. He cited the pro | gram of the schools in recent years and expressed a hope that |the adoption of the ninth month term would be the next step in | the educational program of the I state. j His address was thoroughly en i joyed by a large group of local I citizens.
