"Truitts Return ; 'To Galax Home Wt. and Mrs. R. A. Truitt, of Galax, returned to their home a few days ago after having spent a month in California and the middle west. Of the trip, Mr. Truitt has the following to say: •■Although great changes have taken place in San Francisco in the last 38 years, I found myself •quite at home after spending •eight years on her streets in the early 1900’s with seven years as street car conductor. SERVICES ANNONCED Rev. Fred Blevins will conduct a revival meeting at Liberty Mis sionary Baptist church, White head, beginning October 6, and lasting for one week. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. “We spent thirty minutes in my old room where I was sleep ing when the earthquake struck San Francisco April 18, 1906, bringing back old memories none I too pleasant.” From where I sit... ly Joe Marsh r,#1 Bert Childers ^ and the Melon Patcfi Bert Childers pni an ad in the Chrioa the other day. Here’s what it, said: "Planted more melons than I caa eat this year. Stop by and pick aw many as you want. All free.” At yon can guess, plenty of folks •eat thar kids over and plenty of She parents came too. Stripped ffert’s melon patch in no time. And am they went away, Bert treated the kids to lemonade, and offered the grownups a glass fif tea cold ppa ir'f-iff beer. Naturally it puzzled some folks ... but Bert explains: “It gives me a kick to share things when I can afford to—whether it’s the melons, or the lemonade, or beer. I guess I just like to indulge my whims." From where I sit. If we had mere “self-indulgent" people like Bert —who believe in share and share alike, live and let live, this tired world would be a whole lot better UNITED STATES B«EWE«S FOUNDATION, North Corolioo ComHn Soft* 606-607 luwaoc* BuiWinfl, North CarnNon, A Word Td The Housewives About Thia Week’s Bargains AT SMITHEY’S IN OUR GROCERY DEPARTMENT Grapefruit Juice Sweetened or Unsweetened 46 taz. can 29c Orange Juice Sweetened or Unsweetened 46 oz. can 48c Corn Meal, 25 lb. bag - - $1.60 ithey’s Store “The Place For Bargains” SPARTA, N. C. Homecoming Is Planned At ASTC Mountaineers To Meet High Point Saturday; Kick-off At Two O’clock Boone — "Homecoming Day,” one of the highlights in the year of sports at Appalachian State Teachers College, will be observ ed here Saturday as a powerful squad of High Point college grid ders invade the Teach«s’ field for a game with Coach “Flucie” Stew art’s Mountaineers at 2:00 o’clock. Coach Ralph James’ Purple Panthers, seeded near the top in the North State Conference, will be toughest customers the Appa-’ lachian aggregation has met this fall. The High Pointers finished second in last year’s play, with Catawba’s powerhouse leading the loop. The Mountaineers, however, are also a potent contender in the conference this year and will be out to avenge the 13-12 defeat handed to them by High Point in last year’s homecoming game. The Appalachian outfit opened their conference play last Satur day with a sizzling 40-0 victory over Elon College, while High Point took a 19-7 beating at the hands of Catawba. Both of the teams have tough, hard-hitting forward walls, brist ling with power from one end to the other. Tipton and Painter, two husky backs from last year, are the men to watch in the High Point backfield play, while the Mountaineers have two good scor ing punches in “Spot” Spoltore and Johnny Hollars. Hollars, the fastest man on the team, weigh ing 203 pounds, set a new record in the North State Loop Saturday by intercepting an Elon pass in his end zone and running 103 yards to score. In short, Saturday’s fracas should be the North State Con ference highlight of the day as these age-old rivals pair off at 2:00 o’clock.
