HERE AND THERE They hate me; they curse me; they would gladly murder me, but why? I am but an unpretentious reporter who chronicles the news as he sees it, and would never, no never exaggerate or stretch the truth. The things people say about me would make Superman’s blood curdle, but I mustn’t shirk my duties, so—here we go again . . . These senior-junior romances are beginning to start quite a commo tion among the students. It seems that Mary Frances G’s. new idol is a “Romeo of all times.” It could n’t be “Flash” N. or could it? Meanwhile, M. F. G. seems to hold an important place in the heart of a R. O. T. C. cadet She’s wearing his class ring. Another triangle. Verena L. is mopin’ around school like a lost pigeon. She seems to miss the dare-devil stunts of that flying ace since he joined up. Chin up, ole’ gal! Carolyn S. finds that B. H. S. boys could take a few tips on the art of being a gentleman from a guy by the name of Ed. Take a hint, guys, take a hint! Doug, this means you too. You would never think that people would have an intra-city romance, but some do! I admit it sounds crazy, but just ask Mary Me. about those letters from that pre-college guy! It seems that Bill F. and Wil liam T. had quite a bit of fun on New Year’s eve. I thought that double daters went out with nylon hose and the draft, but it seems that I’m wrong. B. H. S. boys are being forced to make way for these pre-college guys. Oh yes, Frances H. has been getting a lot of attention from some of them and a (or should I say with a) convertible coupe. No man shortage here, what? Doris Jean S. says that she likes to go to those “spooky” pictures if C. P. Hunter is on hand to keep her company. The freshmen do get around, don’t they? All the senior girls flock around Bill B. like he was Frankie Swoon atra. What makes the attraction, girls? He can’t sing, can he? It seems that L. Redden is the only one who has scored yet! Good work, Red. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank all our friends for their kindness and help during our illness and at the death of our dear mother and grandmother, and for the nice flowers.

Thirty Days Grace Is Given Charlotte, Jan. 26 — An open warning to merchants who will fully violate OPA regulations was given when Winfred Helms, of Monroe, N. C., was ordered to sus pend the meat, fats and oils de partment of his grocery business from February 15th to January 1, 1945. A 30-day grace was given to him to dispose of the stocks he now has on hand. Helms was convicted of over drawing his ration bank account. Judge David L. Bell, of Atlanta, Ga., regional hearing commission er for the Office of Price Admin istration imposed this sentence as a warning to other merchants who think they can take advantage of their competitors by violating the OPA ration bank regulations. In imposing this heretofore unusual sentence, Judge Bell pointed out that a merchant must treat his ra tion bank account with the same respect he extends to his cash account. Ration stamps are not money but, without them, money is useless. In overdrawing his ration bank account, Judge Bell emphasized, or in depositing in it stamps which have become invalid, a merchant tries to get more merchandise than his legitimate allotment. Such practices, if allowed to continue, would destroy the entire rationing plan. A merchant has no more right to purchase more goods than his ration bank will allow than he has the right to sell to his customers who do not have the necessary ra tion points. A much stricter en forcement of these illegal practices is indicated by Judge Bell and the Office of Price Administration. The War Food administration urges farmers to keep their trucks, pickups, trailers and automobiles in the best possible condition. It reports that recapping of tires must be employed extensively. The average farm consumption of electricity has increased by 14 kilowatt-hours in one year, as much as 26 hours in some cases, says REA report. THEY COULD AFFORD A LITTLE EXTRA ... can't YOU?
