FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER
Bfr
EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON
Onr neighborhood has been
a happy place this week.
Bobby Sinlard arrived home
after another tour of duty hi
Vietnam.
He looks good, has lost a
little weight, bat says he feels
wonderful.
It’s good to have him back
home, and we’re delighted
that thousands of other young
men will be getting home
from Vietnam for Christmas.
When we see boys like
Bobby it makes us feel good
inside.
If all young Americans had
his spirit of patriotism, we
wouldn’t have campus dis
orders, rioting and other
violence that makes you sick,
But you feel good to know
that the majority of our
young people are like Bobby.
They want to do their part
for America. And more!
If you haven’t done so, look
over the list of servicemen in
The Times-Du Pont sponsored
page, section two, page four,
and pick a few names.
They will enjoy receiving a
Christmas card from you.
And if you know of other
men serving overseas who are
not on the list, mail their
names and addresses in and
we’ll publish them next week.
For a real treat, hear “The
Tar Heel Voices’’ Thursday
night.
The University of North
Carolina Glee club comes to
town and will give a concert
that evening in the audi
torimn of Brevard CoUege at
Everywhere they have
song, they have received
standing ovations.
Incidentally, Gary Himes,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Himes, is a member of the
group.
We recall very fondly our
days with the Glee Club at
Carolina, and we are looking
forward to hearing them this
Thursday.
Come on down. It’s free for
nutin' ....
If some countries ever get
tired of their national anthems,
here are some suggestions: For
an Arab nation; “Dancing Sheik
to Shiek.” For Switzerland:
“Climb Every Mountain.” For
Germany instead of the goose
step: "The Turkey Trot.” For
Cuba: “Sugar in the Morningi,
Sugar in the Evening, Sugar at
Suppertime.” And for Okinawa
to sing the U. S.: “I’ve Grown
Accustomed to Your Base.”
Borrowed ...
You can never get ahead
of anyone you’re trying to
get even with.

A good woman inspires a
man; a brilliant woman in
terests him; a beautiful wo
man fascinates him; and a
sympathetic woman gets him.

Opportunity knocks. Temp
tation kicks tke door down.
Swallow .your pride oc
casionally. It’s non-fattening.
An old - tinier says there
arc three signs of old age.
One is the loss of memory,
and he can't remember the
other two.

Joke of the week . . .
The old inebriate thought he
would sober up a bit, so he
weaved up to a coffee machine
and dropped a coin in the slot
and pressed the button. No cup
was dispensed, but the nozzels
went into action, pouring out
coffee cream and sugar. After
it went down the drains the ma
chine turned off.
“Now thash what I call auto
mashion,” said the drunk.
“The darn thing even drinks it
for you..”
And we also like . . .
A little boy strayed away
from his father at the fair
grounds and cried to a police
man that he was lost.
“What’s your father like?”
asked the cop.
“Women!” came the prompt
reply.
