FRESH CORN AT sl6 AN EAR Two and a half months ago Mince McLamb bet C. T. Latimer
a dozen ears of corn-on-the cob—to be served fresh at 6:30 a. m. during Christmas week that
President Truman wouldn’t seek re-election. Latimer lost* searched the country and finally found
« the corn in Bermuda, had it liown to Dunn at a cost of over sl6 an ear and served Mr. McLamb and
-o some of his friends this morning at Porter’s. Note the satisfied look on the face of Mr. McLamb, center,
as he surveys the plate full of corn cobs. Jesse Capps, left, and Mr. Latimer, right, were among the
group which helped eat the corn. But Mr. Latimer confesses he didn’t enjoy the rare dish as much
as his friends. (Daily Record Photo).

OVER sl6 AN EAR
Each of the 13 ears of fresh roast

over sl6 each, to say nothing ol
about S4O s'pent on telegrams and
cables, a 120-mile trip to the Kin

French governments and their pos- <
sessions.
“And that doesn’t include literally
gallons of sweat and blood worrying
about how I was going to get fresh
corn in Dunn, N. C. in December.” :
laughed Mr. Latimer. Neither did it i

preparing and serving the corn.

Mrs. Lee Makes Life
At Teacherage Fun
By LOIS BYRD
Record Staff Writer
Next week Mrs. S. P. J. Lee will mark her 15th year as
matron of the Lillington teacherage.
And this incidentaly, is something ,
of an unofficial record as a dip
lomat. Amicabe dealings with school
teachers over this period of time
is a feather in Mrs. Lee’s cap. But
when it is remembered that she
has the same cook and the same
janitor she had 15 years ago it
would appear Mrs. Lee can quality
for diplomatic service.
Thelma Canady, the cook and !
Freida Murchison, the janitor, have l
been with the teacherage despite
war. rationing and rising costs of
living.
Technically, Mrs. Lee is employ- \
ed by the teachers at a fixed sal
ary, but the Lillington teacherage
is run as a club. Due to her wise !
management board and room is
furnished 13 teachers and the
home agent for around $45 a month.
NON-PROFIT AFFAIR
There is no effort to make I
money on the teacherage. Savings
are passed on to the residents. For 1
