*rm 1 '■.. . I SPARTA SPECTACLES m emortetta reeves : - 1 Alleghany county, after a great deal of consideration and not a little reflection on the past rec ord of such a prominent citizen, ended a most heated debate this week resulting in a some what reluctant agreement to once more take Amos Wagoner back as a citizen of this county, pro vided, of course, he learned to remember that he was from Al leghany and NOT Watauga. Since establishing the new hardware store in Boone, Mr. Wagoner, a favorite subject in this column since its beginning way back in 1940, had almost for gotten Alleghany and Farmer’s hardware and his wide circle of friends here in Sparta he was so engrossed with the new business. Personally, we were quite wor ried because now that Arza Rich ardson iis: overseas with Uncle Sam’s Air Corps and with Mr. Wagoner’s interests centered in Boone, what were we going to do for all those juicy fish stories. But everything has turned out all right and it is nice to have him hack with us. We suppose we should explain, however, that Mr. Wagoner had a very patriotic rea son for staying in Boone . . . the manpower shortage. He said that there were ten girls for ev ery man in Boone. What about that! Almost as bad as it is here in Alleghany! Have you seen George Roe re cently? Perhaps we should say have you seen the new turtle neck sweater he has been wearing . . . a second Errol Flynn . . . Herbert Caldwell ran him a close second but Herbert hasn’t been around for the past week so George has the stage all to himself. Three sailors and a very at tractive blond came walking up otter ddfcJMJd old Mr. Curiousity was about to get the best of us until we were close enough to see who it was . . . can you imagine our surprise. Dale Duncan, Seaman 2-C and his two sorts, fhe three-year-old twins, Toni and Bill, dressed in identi cal suits of navy blue . . . and the attractive blond, mhy, Mrs. Duncan, of course, the former Miss Marie Perry. May we add that it was a mighty striking four some they made. I Glanced across the street from our office the other day and no ticed that the Sparta Garage was getting a thorough spring house cleaning. Marion Joines and deve Nichols recently took it over and were evidentally doing some re-decorating. Vying with the weather for first place as the favorite topic of conversation here this week is the report to be handed in to the, OPA by the merchants by April 20. It seems that stores handling general merchandise were the “hardest hit” as far as detailed reports are concerned. When ask ed about the report, which by the way, includes an account of al- J most every item in the store, Bob Allison said that there was noth ing to it ... it was simple . . . even went so far as to say that he had been studying Greek and Hebrew on the side, just as a form of relaxation . . . and then he told us what he really thought •f it . . . Sorry, we can’t print it. We received a letter this morn ing written in Germany and con taining several pieces of German money as well as some French francs. Haven’t decided just Eow wealthy we are yet but will publish same as soon as we find •ut. We wondered though why M couldn’t have been a piece or two of Hitler’s gold that our ar mies discovered this week. Hi the mail this week, comes a letter from Mr. C. V. Nichols, •f Meadow View Farm in Davis, Okla., renewing his subscription to the News. Mr. Nichols writes, “I am gladly enclosing my check for two dollars for another year’s subscription to your ‘newsy’ News. Am somewhat disappointed in the last two copies by the absence of that breezy ‘Spec’ column. I read with interest of the news of the mustache being nurtured by my cousin, G. Glen Nichols. Would fte tickled to know how much, if any, it adds to his dignity and Qnrrv nro POTl’t ice” . . . Sorry we can't that question 'cause he iggt^ Twin Oaks News CARL IRWIN Staff Correspondent Mr. and Mrs. Isom Wagoner, Ennice, and Miss Ainslee Alex ander, Sparta, spent a while Sun day afternoon with friends here. -Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Vaughn and L.
