HERE AND THERE By “Dot” Galloway Well, here I am again with the lowdown on the latest gossip and romances at B. H. S. Some people just can’t seem to make up their minds. For instance, Bill S. Well, which, will it be? Mary Ann or Wylma? Aren’t these “library romances” wonderful? Especially the one be tween Ray Cheek and Margie Eisele. And, oh yes, has anyone noticed Boyd O. and Jacqueline McC. lately? Valentine’s day seems to have begun some new romances. Not to mention that lovely Valentine box of candy Bruce G. gave Marguerite McC. Betty Jo W. has a secret heart throb. but the only thing we’re able to find out is that his nick name is “Snooky.” Ummmmmm! Sounds interesting. Won’t you tell us more, B. J.? Charles M. obviously has a “crush" on a certain cute gram mar-grade student. Cheer up, Char les, she'll be down here at high school this fall. The newest romance at B. H. S. is progressing rapidly. Who’s the couple? None other than Jimmy N. and Mary Frances G. Dorothy H. has been “walking on air” lately. Could that pilot in California have anything to do with it? Speaking of pilots. Eleanor K. seems fo like the Army Air Corps unusually well. It must be because /ou can bet your best beau he did! JOAN miller juniors are whistle bait from way back . . .

' w a *.via LINDA WYNN COHEN, aged aaven months, can talk the language of her set, the youngest In New York's Bronx, but she has to rely on printed words to sign up the rest of us for buying War Bonds and stamps. Linda's father is a private at Camp McClellan, Alabama. (International) of a certain one in Australia. My! Isn’t it a coincidence that Mary N. and Glenn H. always pre pare their geometry assignments together. Quite a few people had a lot of fun sleigh riding last Tuesday night but maybe (for my own per sonal safety) I had better not men tion any names. Betty G. certainly changes her mind a lot. First it was “Jiggs” P.. then Bill B. and now it’s Ed win G! We hear that Hilton R. had a swell time with Martha L. H. after the Girl Scout dance. How about it, Hilton? A few of the senior girls are guilty of “robbing the cradle.” Oh, well, there is a man shortage here at B. H. S., isn’t there? A certain college student is in terested in Jean K. but she seems to be interested in a certain other college student. “True love never dies,” say those eternal lovers. Evelyn L. and How ard B. Alan E. made such a swell Frank Sinatra in assembly last Wednes day that he even had all the girls swooning. What’s this I hear about Marie T. and Bill B.? What about C. H., Marie? On a hike Sunday Mary McC’s time was well-oeeupied by a cer tain ex-high sehool student. I’ll let you in on a little secret—he’s a blonde. Oh! Oh! Here comes a mob of R. H. S.’s lovelorn students to get even with me so I better start run ning now while I still have a head start!!!

ANSWER: Write to Dr. Landis Bennett, secretary of the North Carolina Crop Improvement Asso ciation, who can tell you which growers have the certified seed as produced last season. The new va riety is proving to be very profit able throughout the State and is worth a trial. Dr. Bennett may be reached at State College Station, Raleigh. QUESTION: Does it pay to fer tilize pastures? ANSWER: Tests made by the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion show that applications of ground limestone and phosphate will cause pastures to provide a longer grazing period for the cows and will increase the content of vitamin A and calcium in the grazing crops. This is noticeable even in a dry year. QUESTION: Which lespedezas are best suited for growing in this State? ANSWER: Of the ordinary kinds, the Agricultural Experiment Sta tion at State College has found that Kobe and Korean give best returns and yield about the same per acre. Common and Tennessee 76 made much less growth. QUESTION: What kind of graz ing crop should I sow for spring pigs? ANSWER: Ellis Vestal, Exten sion swine specialist at State Col lege, suggests that you plant suf ficent acreage to a mixture of oats, rape and lespcdeza as early in February as possible. “An acre seeded to 3 pounds of rape, 3 bush els of Fulgrain or Fulghum oats, and 25 pounds of lespedeza should furnish grazing for two or three litters of pigs from the middle of April until frost.” Vestal says. The crop should be well fertilized. QUESTION: How deep should I apply my lime to the soil? ANSWER: When lime is added to the surface few inches of the soil a long time is needed for the neutralizing effect to penetrate through the entire plowed layer, report research men of the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station at State College. Field experiments have shown that when part of the lime is put deeper in the soil, bet ter crop growth and root distribu tion are obtained than if all the lime is added to the surface 4 inches of the soil.

Gaither, Proprietor BROAD STREET WE CLOSE WEDNESDAYS LEGION POST AIDS DISCHARGED MEN Veterans With Overseas Service Entitled To A $300 Payment The Monroe Wilson post of the American legion has been coop erating in every way to aid those men who have been discharged from military or naval service dur ing this war obtain their muster ing out pay, according to Bill Wallis, commander. Mr. Wallis stated that many of the men who have received honor able discharges from the armed forces have already made applica tion through members of the American legion’s committee for their mustering-out pay, which was authorized by congress recently. J. M. Gaines, adjutant, has the necessary information to enable him to send credentials to any place in the United States, Mr. Wallis said. Offering another service to vet erans of World War II, the Ameri can legion post here is in a posi tion to help disabled men obtain compensation to which they are entitled. J. A. Crisp, service of ficer of the post, and J. I. Ayers are entirely familiar with the steps necessary to make these applica tions and are glad to help any disabled veterans. This committee is also glad to help dependents make investigations about assis tance they may deserve. The bill providing for musterlng out pay allows veterans with less than 60 days’ service to receive $100 discharge pay; those with more than 60 days, but including no overseas service, will receive $200 while those having been on overseas duty are entitled to $300. “When my creditors stop send ing me bills on the first of each month,” a wishful patriot exclaims, “then I’ll be convinced the paper shortage is really critical!” i - “Brown never completed his education, did he?” “No. He lived and died a bache lor.” When your doctor asks where you prefer to have your prescription filled, say: VARNER’S, because: Filled only by registered pharma cist, as written and at reasonable prices.
