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 . . . 'specially this
super shirt and skirt of DUPLEX WHIPPET CLOTH (TSLfinish).
The snazzy skirt has three box pleats fore V aft .. .
the shirt beautifully man tailored. In yummy pastels ...

SCHULMANS
SALES SIREN AT SEVEN MONTHS
i w*. ' 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!!!

FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
— ----- •
QUESTION: Where can I get seed
of the new Sequoia Irish potato?
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.

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!”

education, did he?”
“No. He lived and died a bache
