GRO-SWIFTS WHIP ROSE 5-10 TEAM The Henderson Grocery-Swift and Company’s entry in the city softball league the “Gro-Swifts,” whipped the Rose 5-10 c Store entry, last year’s champions of the circuit, 19-12 in a practice contest yesterday afternoon at Lassiter's Field. The winners displayed plenty of power for early season, slamming out four home runs. Abbott got two, Kirk Woodlief and Cawthorne one each. Regular play in the circuit is ex pected to be started within a few weeks. RTQne ITlore Weddinj|l| dH) CEWTIiAL raESS >SSoCl,Tl^y^^^P^pß It HAD THIS FIRST: Barbara Kingsley, in New York only a few months with a child magazine, has just told Garry Page, New York newspaperman, that she will marry him. They became interested in one another when she was society editor of the Martinsville Post and Garry had come to Martinsville for a wedding. Barbara’s close friend, Natalie, who has just announced she is going to marry an older man, Basil Worthing ton, cautions Barbara about seeing too much of Garry. Garry has a play which is soon to be produced, starring Wenda Ayer. Garry begins to make excuses that keep hirn from seeing so much of Barbara, but the latter doesn’t suspect Wenda, the actress, is taking up so much of Garry’s time. Then an evening came when she observed that some thing definitely was wrong. Barbara’s world crashes when Garry tells her he has fallen in love with Wenda. Later, Jack Metcalf, an author friend, calls at Barbara’s apartment, insisting on taking her out at a moment she be lieved she should be alone with her grief. , NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY: CHAPTER 21 IT SEEMED to Barbara that she and Jack Metcalf went every where there was to go that night. More than once she caught her own reflection in a mirror, in the yellow velvet frock that she had bought because Garry liked yel low. Now she could wear any colors she happened to find —never again would she search for a shade that would bring a quick smile to his eyes. Once she went to powder her nose and the sight of the green cloisonne vanity case that he had brought her from London made her oddly ill. She put it away, and let her nose go. But she was grateful to Jack that he had forced her to join the merry-go-round that went stead ily around and around through the streets of the ’fifties. He had kept his promise to point out Mark Twain’s house to her, and even sought a littlo Spanish church with a story. But when she had been disinteresting, he had tossed the sightseeing idea out of the cab. • “You need excitement,” he said. “We’ll find it.” Now and then, as a band swung too loudly, or. a cello skimmed across the sky, she wondered if Garry and Wenda were some place in the madness of the city, or if they .were alone in that brown room of Garry’s— She could not think of that. What was it he had said at Christmas time? “Next year you’ll be presiding at your own table.” She became very talkative, very 'merry. She was grateful to Jack. [He knew that she would be so I weary when she reached home ithat tomorrow she would sleep [late. Fortunately it was Saturday iso she did not have to go to the {office. • 1 Once there was a silence and she {watched Jack’s profile as he I lighted a cigaret. Suddenly it came to her that he was always lighting them, never smoking them. “Ever play farmer-in-the dell?” he asked. She nodded. “I can’t think you did.” ‘Tm so fas from youth? I was just thinking that the farmer chooses a wife, and the wife chooses a child, and the child chooses a dog— Why don’t they ever choose each other?” Ruth chose Bill, but Bill chose Marie; Natalie chose Jack but Jack wasn’t choosing— “ Let’s not get philosophical,” v she said, so she wouldn’t think. HENDERSON, (N.C,) DAILY DISPATCH WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 193& Blue Devils Hope to Top Athletics in Friday’s Game Durham, April 6—. While it will be something of a Duke victory regard less of the score, this year’s edition of Blue Devils is hoping to defeat the Philadejlplhia >Athleticsl (in the big “Reunion Game” in Duke park here Friday afternoon. Coach Jack Coombs has some clout ers on this year’s team which may show the A’s hurlers a thing or two about college ball. And Duke’s pitch ers; drilled to the nth degree by Coach Coombs, can dish up the curves and the fast ones as their mentor did in the majors several years ago. In Russ Bergman, shortstop, Eric Tipton, centerfiel(J» Tom Gaddy, left field, Captain Harry Morris, third base, and sophomore Crash Davis, sec ond base, the Blue D*evils have five boys who go after their hits all the time. All of them are capable of hit ting the ball for extra-base blows. ICoach Coombs is undecided about his hurler for the game but he will choos‘3 between Dave Smith, Ed Watson and Pete Caskey, senior right handers, Red Kerr, junior southpaw, and Bob Vipkery, sophomore right hander. The fans will not have to wait to see a former Duke star in action. First hitter for the A’s, according to the batting order announced by Man ager Connie Mack;' will be Wayne Ambler, second baseman, who was captain and star hitter of Duke’s 1937 outfit which took state and confer ence championships. Second hitter will be Ace Parker, the great Duke football hero and All- American halfback in 1936. Parker will be at short for the A’s. He will be followed by Bill Werker, A’s third saoker, who was a star shortstop at Duke and won Aill-Southern basket ball honors for two years. Chubby Dean, unable to pitch as scheduled due to a finger ailment, may be sent to first base by Manag er Mack. Dean held down that post regularly last season and had a fine year but is being shifted to hurling— "is there any wnere else we can go?” Bands and more bands, laughter, songs, words without meaning and words with meting. And sud denly she said: “I would like to go home.” There would be a long time when she must be alone, when she must build a new world and live in it. It was no good putting it. off. Bet ter to get started at once. When Jack left her he said: “You did something for me to night. Thank you,” “I did something for you? Oh no, it was the other way!” “You made me remember some thing important. I thought I’d thrown it away. I’m going to look it up tomorrow.” At noon the next day she found out what Jack remembered. It was something of the young fresh ness that Natalie had brought to him half a dozen years before. Natalie called Barbara and said: “Barbara, could you just happen to drop into Tony’s, on West Fifty-second, about half past five this afternoon? You and Garry?” “I can. But Garry is busy.” Garry won’t ever be dropping in any place with me, her heart cried, Garry and I are through, through, through!.! “Jack wants to see me at five, and I don’t want to talk too long, yet I. want to see him. I want to say goodby.” “You’ll be seeing him around, Natalie.” “Oh yes—l mean goodby to a silly notion that needs an obituary. I’m writing it today.” There were many people at Tony’s, and.it was difficult to find Natalie and Jack. They hailed her eagerly. Jack’s eyes announced that he knew that Natalie had called her; knew, too, that she had come because she did not want him to wound Natalie again. As he left them, he said aside tp her: should resent your com ing. But I don’t. I thought I could resurrect something Natalie and I once knew, but it’s dead for both of us. I Wanted to see her before it was too late —now she can be married withoiit regret.” Natalie’s eyes were oddly bright. “Jack wants to love somebody all the time and he can’t. It’s not in him. It’s like a man having to have a necktie for every day. Barbara, you’re lucky that you fell off the bat for the steadfastness of Garry.” Oh, but that’s over, she wanted ,to say, but she could not make the words come. “You’ll be at my wedding, won’t you? I’m mailing the invitations tomorrow.” Natalie gathered her bag and gloves. “Well, Fm saying goodby to a girl chiffon dress. Jt was cola’the first time Jack brought me here. I supposed everybody dressed up and my best frock was pink chiffon so I wore it. Jack was feeling good—and he told me all about the girl he loved. And there J sat, wondering what had made me think I was that girl, except that he liad seen me every day for tea or dinner or lunch the last two weeks.’ 1 Barbara deeidedl that she would say goodby to a girl in a rust-col ored crepe who hag feid dinner in a garden one day last August. Be gay, be nonchalant, say anything but laugh an you* nay it and no one would know but what you meant it. That must be her code. Must be—but she >knew that she Grits and Gravel (By T. MOSES JONES.) Shout! Shout! The old red hen out home has hatched that goose egg into a beautiful gosling, an ugly duckling, or' something. Anyway, I haven’t seen it yet, but have heard of it. More about that later. To Kend-erson early this morning with Howard Dorsey who lives in that pretty bungalow next to Dud’s Tav ern. Howard works for the Vance l Trucking Company. He married ( Miss S'ue Betty Oakley up near Rougemont. They have a fine, fat baby a year old last January named Melvin Howard but they call him Sonny. By the Vance Barber Shop and there sat Buck Parrott lying down in the front chair taking a nap while the barber shaved him. Mrs. Otis Hicks from Bobbitt was looking for her son, Ray. Lex Gxeen of Dexter was also in town. Dropped in at the Southern Ice Cream place to see John Norwood, and he insisted on showing me over the plant. We went into the cooling room where they keep hundreds gs gallons of ice cream all frozen up and ready to eat. John was raised over in Granville. Wnen we got back outside I found that a quart box had accidentally fallen down in my overcoat pocket. And then I hajj the brass to ask him for a spoon to eat it. I walked on uptown eating cream just like I own ed the whole factory. At Wester’s Grocery was Ray Bu chanan dressing the show window With oranges. Jack Collins, the bar ter who once lived in Oxford, told me he was entering politics. I wish ed him well and told him I ran for kurriner some years ago and got left. At the filling station was Gene Breed love, son of Rat Breedlove. Hadn't the position he occupied at Oak Ridge and Duke —this season. He will bat . .o. 7 if he plays first. Hans Wagner, who caught for I Duke last season, will be the A’s catcher. He will bat No. 8. Manager I Mack has not announced his pitcher. wouldn't want to laugh or talk far a long time. Meantime, a columnist, in Ms gossipy ramblings, joined the name of Garry with that of Wenda Ayer. The dramatis sections pub lished her picture. A feature writer interviewed her. The day of Natalie's wedding came, and Barbara left her desk at noon to go. Even now, in the startled confusion of her own new hurt, she couldn’t approve Na talie’s choice. There were white candles, gold tipped on the altar, just as there had been at the many church wed dings back in Martinsville. There were lilies that were too sweet and wistful for a bride who had delib erately planned her marriage. The organist trod lightly as Barbara paused in the vestibule. An usher approached her. “Friend of the bride,” she said, and took his arm. Someone who was late was being seated at her side as the baritone, soloist began his love song. She moved her head slightly. It was Garry. For an odd, frightened mo ment the world stood still and the music stopped. Then he smiled and spoke, and gave his attention to the music. Natalie had sent Garry his invitation and he had come—come in his top coat and gray striped trousers with a gar denia in his button-hole, ready to go on to the wedding breakfast. Come equipped with such self-pos session that he could sit by her and never mind. The minister’s voice was deep and gentle. In like manner she and Garry had planned to be mar ried in a church. She glanced at him as the minister began to pray. His face was strained now, a lit tle unhappy. He hadn’t forgotten. She wanted to move closer to Him but stayed in place, clinging to her pride, praying for composure. The music drew closer, down the honeysuckle drapad aisle. In a moment there would be a glorious burst of Mendelssohn and (fa would have to greet Garry. sh« thought of his play. She could mention it, After all, love was done. It never went back, only on. The minister had finished The Garry who spoke to her was his old self and only the tenseness of the lines about his mouth showed that he was remembering. He asked if he might drive her to the 4 wedding breakfast. She had intended to go, but she heard her self saying: “No, thanks, Garry. I have to run. It’s a busy day but. Nat understands. Are you much ex cited about the opening?” “I am.” For a second he be came again the frightened ecstatic Garry who had come hurrying up the three flights of stains in a Sat urday twilight to tell her the de tails of the contract, newly signed. (“You’ll have to hold me in my seat I’ll be so jittery that first night,” he had said. “I will, Garry, and we’ll have pink ice cream tcj celebrate,” she had answered.! Now Garry was saying: *l’m mailing you seats. You’ll get a day or two before the New York opening.” His own play, and she would not be seeing it with him— watch for you that night,* 4 he wag concluding the, conversa tion. Then he grinned. "Thia is, one time I’ll be there early!” (To Be Continued) New Store To Be Largest Food Center In The City seen him an I don’t know when. Back to the Highway and I threw away my cream carton and wooden spoon. -Then along drove Hewitt Hicks who let me rid*e. He talked about my Grandpa -Hester who used to preach at Herman church. Mr. Hicks said he awoke with a song in his heart nearly every morning, that he was very careful about not picking up strangers in his car, and lots of other things. As he put m<e out at his home (after inviting me in) I got a quick transfer and came right on to town with Mrs. George Cheatham’s mother and another lady. When I got back to the Post Office in Oxford and called for my roll of Dispatches, there were no Dispatches. I I was terribly outdone at not having I •my samples. I felt just like Tom McCracken at the Henderson Vul canizing Co., would have felt without even one tire left in his place. I felt like Tom Gillam at the Motor Sales Co., would have felt with a customer holding a bankroll and desiring to purchase a Pontiac when there was no Pontiac. I felt like Tom Rose, at Rose’s Five, Ten and Twenty-five Cent Store would have felt without a single ten cent article left fqr sale. I felt just like Sam Watkigjs would have felt without a piece f)f screen wire in his store, and here it is fly time, i How time flies! .1 felt like John Tucker would have felt if a three hundred pound man had come for a suit and he had not one large enough. I felt like Theo Codas or Nick Trakas at the Capitol Case with a dozen calls for an order of ham and eggs, and the ham had given out and the hens had stopped laying. I felt like Jesse Gupton, Superin tendent of the Road Camp would have felt with all his teeth extracted and someone had just given him a box of peanut brittle. But they are telling that Rohert Hester is going to vulcanise him a brand new set at his auto shop. But still I had no sample Dispatch es, and I didn’t know what to do. I felt like Bob Davis at E. G. Davis & Sens would have felt had a bride-to be come after a blue wedding dress and all he had in the store was red and white ones. I felt like a camel on the desert without an extra flask of water, or like a terrapin without bis shell or China without a wall, or a pump without a well. I felt like Sidney Stevenson would have felt with a full house and the picture had failed to arrive. I fall Uke Marabou Cooper would have, felt at plot# time and not % -plow line in the stare. And last but not least, j felt like Mayor Henry T”. Powell would have felt if be had lost th»a ax during the ax-murder trial, or if he had come into Mayor’s Court without a single case. I even called up Miss Page Gooch over long-distance and told her my papers were not at the Post Office and she reported that the man was sure he had mailed them. And all that worrying for nothing. When I reach ed home for dinner THERE were my. papers. They had been delivered by mistake instead of having been left at the office.

Inside these doors, eager shopper ; will feast their eyes upon row aftc’- row of merchandise totaling over 3,- 500 items now stocked. As one enters the conveniently ar ranged double entrance doors, one : s greeted by a courteous attendant who proffers a noiseless rubber-tired gli<l er for use in the collection of one’s purchases. Immediately at hand the customer sees great rows of “island-type” dou ble-faced display bins filled with me; chandise. One significant, and infor j mative feature about these bins is i the sign atop each which indicates , to the customer the kind of merchan- I dise available at each bin, not only on the side on which the customer 5 s 1 standing, but on the opposite side as Well. i Wherever possible in the depart- I ment devoted to fresh fruit and vege ! tables, the various items will be found I to have been weighed and bagged in ' advance for the convenience of the 1 customer.

There are no “gloomy” nook; and corners; everything is c anitaiy and every square inch of the store brilliantly illuminated. Conspicuously absent from the new store is the conventional type of wall shelving. All the interior equipment, in keeping with the most progressive policy, is of the latest, up-to-the-min ute design. Hoover Cart Parade Day some years ago, until this past Monday. Special trade days had been observed for a week or ten days and tickets given on purchases. The whole block from the court house to the post office was roped off and a couple of thousand folks or more were gathered by three o’clock. With the aid of loud-speak ers, the numbers were called as they were drawn from a barrel. The first number drawn was held by Glenn Montague, the number was 42,728 and was worth only one hun dred dollars to Glenn. I saw the two fifty dollar bills in his hand after the drawing, so I know that he received the hundred. Number 248 was h«ld by Mrs. Gor don Perkins and called for fiftv dol lars Ike Renn and Mrs. W.
