Wilkesbort iNte One—awi Pirlear Mrs. Newton Pierce entered the Wilkes Hospital for an ope ration last week. Rev. Glenn Huffman filled his regular appointment at Purlear Church Sunday and delivered an Inspiring message. Special atten tion was given to the G. I.’s pres ent. He was the dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde (Hayes. It Is deplorable that in this time of scarcity, so many of our people can not get plowing done. On last Sunday a group of thirty or more friends and rela tives assembled at the home of Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Nichols with baskets and bundles to mak.'l merry with Mrs. Nichols, it being j her 64th birthday. When Mrs. ' Nichols returned from church, | she met an agreeable surprise. ! A table was prepared on the lawn , and loaded with a variety of good ' things. After a prayer and returning of thanks by Earl Nichols, the company proceded to satisfy th6^r bunder. An evening of what seemed complete enjoyment, was spent. Mrs. Nichols expressed appre ciation for the cordial remem brance ano the many nice gifts she had received. Late In the day the crowd broke away, wishing Mrs. Nich ols many happy returns. Some of those from outside the community were: Mr. and Mrs. Q. F.

Your Active Support Will Be Appreciated and Remembered To My Friends In Wilkes County I visited in your fine county during the first part of this week, and was able to see quite a number of Democratic voters. It was impoesiHe, however, to see nearly as many as I would like to. I hope I will be able to see more Wilkes county Democrats later, and in the meantime I ask your full support.—Bill Horner. abnormal mmKm By DWIGHT NICHOLS et »1 merely observation— Sometimes It Is interesting just to quietly sit by the side ol the street and see what you can see and hear. Sunday night we loafed for a while on the corner of Main and Ninth streets just to see what would happen next. On the cor ner is a good place for that, be cause one has four directions to riyi when action starts. But that reminds us of the man in New York for the first time. He started across the street, but came face to face with an onrushing truck. He started to go back and a trolley barred the way. To the left was a car speeding in his direction. To the right was a big moving van com ing on speedily. He started to leap straight up and saw a plane making a nose dive crash to the exact spot on which he was standing. At his feet was a man hole. He jumped through just in time ... to be run over by an underground train. While watching fast drivers and slow drivers, good drivers and reckless drivers, two pedes trians diverted our attention. It was a boy and a girl, walking closely together and talking as softly as the moonlight from a first quarter moon. Just as they were even with us the boy said so earnestly: “I love you more than life itself—or any other ten-cent magazine." MYSTERY OF CHIOK.S_ A mother took her small son to an incubator to sec eggs hatch. She remarked: Mother—Isn’t it wonderful how the little chicks get out of the shell? Son—That’s nothing. What I can’t figure out Is how they get in there. MORE .\BOUT EGG.S— The story is told about a young bride who went to a grocery store to make purchases: Bride (criticizing) — These eggs are dreadfully small. Grocer—I know it, but that’s the kind the farmer brings me. They are just fresh from the country this morning. Bride—Yes, and that’s the trouble with those farmers. They are so anxious to get their eggs sold they take them off the nest too soon. CHITTER CH.4TTER— Modern girls think more of being well formed than well in formed ... A teacher who was having plenty of trouble with a boy student wrote the boy’s mo ther, telling her that Junior was giving much trouble and what could she do about It. The moth er replied: “Do as you please. I’m having plenty of troubles of my own with his father” . . . ‘‘I’ll just grin and bare it,” said the girl with the pretty knee . . . A company which makes soaps, cosmetics and other toilet preparations put on a slogan con test. and one of those submitted was: “If you don’t use our soap, for goodness sake please use our perfume” ... A husband of not too many years submits the fol lowing spring poetry: Of the atomic bomb I have no fears; I’ve been living with one For the past two years. Too often so-called friends are like shadows—close to you when you walk in the sun and gone when you are in the shadows. ET, ATE AND EIGHT— A local woman discovered that some of the bananas she had been saving for company were missing. Mother (to her flve-year-K)ld) —Junior, were you at the banan as? Junior—I et t^o, mother dear. Mother—Junior, I’m surprised. You' mean ate. Junior—No, Mommie, 1 et two. Mother—Say ate. Junior. Junior—All right, I et eight, but I thought I only et two. GOT OVER IT— The husband was berating his wife for inviting an “old flame” to dinner ... Husband—Why, he used to kiss you before we were married . . . I don’t want him In the house. Wife—Why, John! So did you! Husband (Jealously)—^Tes, I know. But I’ve gotten over It and maybe he hasn’t. TALKED TOO UTTLB— The sage of Kentucky, old Uncle Ragson Tatters, went out to do a little fishing and was late getting back to supper. Young Tod was sent out to fetch him. He found old Ragson stand ing In the bushes near the creek: Young Tod—Its gettln’ late, Uncle Ragson. Ragson Tatters—^Reckon it Is, Tod. Young Tod — Maw's gettln’ sore. Uncle Ragson. Ragson Tatters—Reckon she Is, Tod. Young Tod—Ain’t yuh cornin’ home. Uncle Ragson, ain’t yuh? Ragson Tatters—Reckon not. Tod. Young Tod—Why ain’t yuh. Uncle Ragson? Ragson Tatters—Standing’, In a bear trap. PRICE CON’TROL END FORESEEN Wasblngton, April 1.^—Stabi lization Director Chester Bowles told the American Retail Federa tion today that by mli-ifiil "the great bulk of our price control task will have been completed.’’ But Rep. Crawford, RepublloaB of Mfchlgan, asserted there will he no end of price control If the OPA Is kept in being as long as there is excess buying power and high employment and wages. The convention also received a message from President Tru man declaring that the country la On the threshold of an era "In which we can enjoy the highest standards of living this nation has ever dreamed of.” That standard, his message said, "means good returns for busi ness, for workers, and for farm ers.” “That is our goal, but to reach that goal we cannot now relax our vigil against the Inflation ary forces which threaten the stability of our economy,” the president wrote “If we fail we will never pass the threshold of that bright future toward which we all look ahead.” Gilreath Home Club Discusses Kitchens The Gilreath Home Demon stration club met at the home ol M.' J. J. Hendren March 27. Mi-ri. Annie H. Greene, Home Agent, discussed the topic of the month, which was "The Modern Farm Kitchen.” A bright, colorful kitchen, ar ranged to save steps and stoops, can save both time and miergy of the homemaker. It is the most Important room In the house for the woman who does all her own work for It Is here that she spends most of her day. It can be an easy and pleasant place In which to work If It has soft light walls, good lights and equipment arranged to make work as easy as possible. Movie slides were shown of a modern kitchen, with modern equipment. From the Wilkes.County 11c Library, Mrs. Greene borrol ed Yor onr clnb women a pum- ber of good books, which we ep*. predate very much. To learn to love books early In youth is a heritage better than land, or money in the bank. To miss the joy and stimulus ot^ knowing at first hand thelr^ treasures, is to be tragically cheated out of one of the major pleasures of life. For the book lover there Is no fuller satlsfac-1 tion in personal ownership of I cherished volumes.—^Reported. For Sale or Traie!
