Mrs. Tyndall Fetes
Mother Goose Kids
At Surprise Party
The children of the Mother Goose
School were treated to a surprise
party by Lynn Tyndall's mother on
Thursday. It was no special occas
ion, Mrs. Tyndall said she just felt
thy urge to do something nice for
Lynn's classmates.
She came loaded with block ice
cream, three kinds of cookies, ani
mal crackers, candy and gum.
Mother Goose raised her eyes and
whispered “forgive us,” for she
knew that vegetables would be left
untouched that day.
It all was such a festive affair
with Santa Claus plates and nap
kins. Because Mother Goose has a
little girl who thinks no experi
ence is complete unless shared with
her mother, she guessed that her
Mother Goose children were just
the same way. So she permitted
each one to rinse his plate out
and pack It In his book sack as
proof of hts party.
They deserved the party too be
cause they have been being quiet
er than usual getting ready for
Play they win present for their fam
ilies and Mends on Monday night,
Dec. 17 at the Erwin Methodist
Church, where they go to school.
They have learned to respect an
other classmate by being quiet
when another is reciting. Tho its
' almost s week before the pfity, they
all know their parts.
Danny Tyndall is going to be
Santa Claus and his mama is buy
ing packs and packs of cotton
with which to stuff him.

Along The Routes
By John Follett
“ The time has come,' the walrus
said.
To talk of many things.
Os shoes and ships and sealing wax
And cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings..
Last week my travels out of Dunn
made me think of tluf above Lewis
Carroll verse. Shoes entered the
picture when 1 talked t° one farmer
about a subscription as he put bn
his shoes on the back porch. There
were no ships or sealing wax, but
King Cotton blew smoke rings at
me: I saw lots of beautiful coUprds,
which are certainly; a variety ot
cabbage; and I saw several fat
pigs being dipped in a “sea” of
boiling water preparatory to taking
flight on the wings erf high pork
prices.
BLOWS SMOKE RINGS
Again most of my travels were
on RFD No. 3, through the smoke
ring episode occurred out on RFD
No. 3 not far from Mingo. There 1
noted) tite fact that the exhaust

There were other things which
Alice did not see in Wonderland,
but which I did see in Sampson and
Harnett Countiee. I finally got
around to photographing the bottle

says that the first bit appealed

the moss would not grow in this
climate, but grow. It has until the

nos HAVE WINOB
I can report that pigs do seem
to have wings in Harnstt County.
I watched subscriber T. F. Nprrls
scalding several fat porkers in what
seemed to be a very unpleasant
bath of resin and hot water. I
saw pigs of ail slses, from cute
little sucklings that would . have
looked wonderful - roasted and with
red apples in their mouths, to big
sows. But nobody expected to sell
them except at high-flying prices.
Everywhere along the routes the
countryside looks beautiful in spite

And the biggest crop of all
children continues to thrive. 1
have never before seen so many
lovable children. My personal
preference this week goes to John
Wayne Tripp, aged one. son ot
subscriber Theodore T. Tripp and
grandson of subscriber Moses Tripp.
The young man seemed to like me
almost as well as he likes his par
ents. And so I like him.
There are a lot of nice people in
Harnett County.

Successful Fight Manager Thinks
Today's Heavies Best In History
By HAL WOOD
SANTA ROSA, Call;. -Oh- The

history of boxing said today that
the present crop of heavyweight
contenders is the best the world
ever has known.
That's 'the word from dapper
John Leo McKeran, aged 63, and
better known as Jack “Doc"
Kearns.
"Why the current crop of heavy
weight contenders Is better than it
ever was," the balding, sprightly j
manager said. “Its just like com

cluded George Godfrey and Bear
cat Wright, both 340-pounders, and i
Mickey licked ’em boti\; and he i
also licked Jack Sharkey, although I
It was called a draw.”
QUITE A LINEUP
Kearns, a fast-talking, quick- •
thinking man, started his career
when he went to the Klondike and
palled around with men like Jack
London, Wilson Mlzner, Robert Ser
vice, Rex Beach and Alex Pant
ages.
Since that time, he has managed
seven world’s champions: Abe At
tel, featherweight; Benny Leonard,
lightweight; Mickey Walker as a
welter and later as middleweight;
Jackie Fields, welter; Demsey,
heavyweight; and his current prlhe
and-joy, lightheavy king Joey
Maxium.
During that time he estimates
that his fighters have earned pur
ses totaling $40,000,000. Os this, a
bout $18,000,000 came with the
Dempsey gold mine and $6,000,000
with Walker, the fampd ‘Toy<Bull
dog.” This includes money made
from movies, endorsements, stage
engagements, etc.
But he would rather talk about
the future than the past and he
sees a rosy future.
WISHFIJLL THINKING
He thinks Maxium will beat Char
les in their battle at San Francisco
Dec. 12. After that, he believes
Maxim should get a shot at the
world heavyweight crown worn by
Walcott.
What Is the hottest match avail
pble to the public today?
“Why, that would be between i
