minute rush.
All persons apprehended after
December 31 without their renew

As We See
Ourselves
AT VALDESE HIGH
By ALYCE EPLEY
There is an expression
“As busy as a bee”—
If you think bees are busy—
You sure have more to see!
—Alyce
What I mean is that most of
the Senior class have really been
busy this past week. First was the
chorus concert and the “Laff It
Off”, all this along with our les
sons really kept us busy.
Trip to Carbon City
The chemistry and physics
classes finally took that much
looked-forward-to-trip last Tues
day afternoon. They visited the
carbon plant in Morgan ton, and
were taken through it, and shown
every process by a special guide.
Herbert Garrou, Bobby Long and
Vance Pascal took their cars and
Harold Abernathy drove Mr. John
son’s car. Mr. Moretz, Frank
Goode, Dickie Pons and Jack Rob
inson w?ent with Herby: Tommy
Garrou, Byrd Hinshaw, David Ab
ernathy, Mildred Smith and Alyce
Epley w'ent with Vance; Benny
Huffman. Jack Street, Paul Clark
and George Grill went with Bobby,
and Max Baker, and Ray Wiseman
went .with Harold. They all came
; back w’ell informed (wre hope). •
Beta Club
The Beta Club had a> special
meeting the other day. They de
cided to have their Christmas'
party Thursday, December 23,' at
the Community Center.
Say, ‘-Fat”, whatever made you
decide to join the Lonely Hearts j
Club? There aren’t too many,
members you know!!
Don't be alarmed at the!
crutches Gene Sain is carrying
around (I mean, the crutches that
are carrying Gene around). They
re's only temporary, we hope,
re only temporary, we hope.
—isn’t he? “Ruby’s not here, be
sides the telephone’s too small’’— j
Ha.
A sweet girl can only take so
many other sweets. Isn’t that
right Peggy Pope?
Choral Concert
I’m sure Mr. Gourley is proud
of his “little” girls and boys. The
concert went off beautifully. Har
old Hartman and Barbara Roper
really made a hit with their act
ing and singing “Under the Lilac
Tree”. So did Kenneth Bumgar
ner sway the hearts of all the
girls when he “crooned” “The
Blue-Tail Fly”—if it can be called j
crooning.
They received many compli
ments from the large crowd that
attended.
Laff It Off
We’re glad it’s over now, hut
it was a lot of fun while it lasted.
We made around $125 profit for
our trip, and had a lot of fun at
the same time.
Note of Appreciation
We, the members of the Senior
class, wish to express our thanks
to the members of the cast and
those who helped with other mat
ters concerning our play, “Laff
It Off”.
Merci, merci, beaucoup!! et au
re voir jusqu’a prochair semaire.

TARPS TO FARMERS AID—
The scarcity of permanent crop
storage facilities is a headache for
families again this year, but can
vas tarpaulins will play a large
part in alleviating the shortage,
J according to the National Cotton
| Council. Temporary corn cribs,
covered with a tarpaulin as shown
above, will be used in many sec

there are literally a thousand and

LA ONCE HAD PENGUINS
Los Angeles.—Penguin-like birds
which could not fly swam around
the Los Angeles area 3,000,000
years ago, says Dr. Loye Miller
of the University of Los Angeles.
Enough fossil remains have been
found to give a good picture of
the Los Angeles penguins. Today,
the only wild penguins are in the
Antarctic.
In the radio Droadcasting trade

REPORT ON AID TO GERMANY
Since the end of the war every
man woman and child in the
United Kingdom has contributed
four pounds to the feeding anc
, maintenance of the Germans, ar
; official British report revealed. The
report said that Britain has speni
I over 200,000,000 pounds since 1945
MUSEUM PLANS DELAYED
The nation will have to wait a
while for its naval museum.
Mrs. Truxtun Beale, who owns
Decatur House, one-time residence
of Commodore Stephen Decatur,
last year leased the coach house
to the Naval Historical Founda
tion for 50 years at $1 a year. It
was to be remodelled and opened
early next year as a museum.
But when work got under way it
was discovered that the coach
house was slightly less safe than
the White House. It needed steel
columns and beams. The steel
strike stalled that, however, and
now no one knows when the mu
seum will open.
Try A Want Ad For Results
BUYING PERFUME
Perfume shopping should be one
important occasion when “the
nose knows”. But you’ll be wise
to avoid eating strongly flavored
food before you start sniffing.
Smoking is another way of dulling
your sense of smell. Don’t sample
more than three scents in succes
sion. The best way to test per
fume is to put a drop on your
palms; rub .them together until
the alcohol evaporates; then
breathe in. Good Housekeeping
magzaine reports that only one
person in 100 either has no sense
of smell or can’t detect certain
odors under normal conditions.
About a quarter of Austria’s
population lives in Vienna.
NOT ONE SINGLE CASE OF THROAT

Yes, these were the findings
of noted throat specialists
after a total of 2,470 weekly

of hundreds of men and
women who smoked Camels,
and only Camels, for 30
consecutive days.
I MADE THE 30
DAY TEST AND MY DOCTORS
REPORT WAS NO SURPRISE TO
ME! I KNOW CAMELS ARE MILD
-MY THROAT TOLD ME SO WITH
