part were: Ray Rhodes, Fred Mc
Call, Jiggs Price and Roland Mull.
The remaining boys, aided by sev
eral ninth grade girls, were the
guests and witnesses. “I Love You
Truly” was sung by Ann Daniels,

Shamblin. Following this, Miss
Whitesides led the group in fa

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.

WARNING ISSUED
TO MERCHANTS
Meat Dealer Is Ordered To
Suspend. 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?
The Fourth War Loan starts today.
Your Government wants you to sup
port this loan by buying at least one
extra $100 Bond.
You may not find it easy to spare an
extra $100. But—
If the men in our armed forces can
afford to give their limbs and lives—
then certainly you can afford to lend
at least $100 ... or $200 ... or $300 . ..
or even $500.
Be a good American—buy extra
Bonds RIGHT NOW!

Get In The Fight! And See Them
Through To Victory !
You have someone ... a brother, a son, a husband • . • risking
his life in this war, to protect your future. EVERYTHING you can
do is the least you can do, to give him all the equipment he needs
to vanquish the enemy . . . maybe to save his own life. Show him
you’re still behind him, and show those Germans and Japs that
there’s no room in our scheme of things for falling down on the
job. Make a bee-line for a War Bond with every single dollar you
can spare. Let’s get in there with our boys . . . let’s all Back the
Attack . . . with War Bonds!
Every man, woman and child who purchases an extra $100 War
Bond during the 4th War Loan shortens the war!
