Closs's Column A YOUNG COUPLE we know went into a Chinese restaurant for lunch, and somehow Roosevelt got mixed up with the Chow Mcin. They knew the owner, so they called him in as referee. "Ling, what do you think ol Roo.se jvelt?" they asked. There was a long, long pause. "He is an excellent speaker." There was another long, long pause. "He is a good politician.'' There was a still longer, longer pause. "And he behaves very well at the dinner tabic." And Ling no long lingered. MENTIONED BY THE METHO DISTS was the dilemma ol' a certain service club whose rules forbade their inviting more than one member ol' each profession to join them. 1 lie problem arose over how to invite a popular young Methodist minister and an equally popular Methodist presiding elder. The rules were clearly stated .... but there seemed to be no good way ol' choos ing uetweon the two men. A brigh' member solved the problem by an interpretation that enabled them to ask both men: The rules said no two men ol the same profession were al loved t." join, but it also said there might be both a wholesaler and •< retailer. This had been previously interpreted to mean "of groceries," but it was plain that the two desired members were respectively a "whole saler and a retailer of religion." * * * DURING THE SUMMER she has often mentioned an intention of "put | ting out some roses one of these days" .... but her work takes her iaway from home most of the time. "Come here and pinch me," she jcallcd to her cook the other day. I "I know I am asleep. Why every time ' I look out of this window I see rose : bushes growing against the fence, land I know perfectly well then ' weren't any there last night when il went to bed. You'd better wake me up."' "But Miss Margaret I see them too There arc rosebushes out there, and [ they weren't there when I left thi* here house last night." The mystery was solved several hours later .... a neighbor had known it was to be her birthday and had sent a man with the rosebushes early that morning .... had had them planted as soon as it was day light .... an appropriate birthday gift to a flower lover. =!= * * * A SMALL BOY IN GEORGIA started to school to a French school mistress recently. Upon his return home his mother asked him what his teacher's name was. "Miss M'Niekle" was his answer. "Miss what?" "M'Niekle .... no, it's not M' Niekle, it's M'Dime ..." Investigation showed it really was "M'Dime. . . ." or rather that's as close as the little boy could come to pronouncing "Madam". $ * * A BRIDE IN HER SEVENTIES ar rived at a Henderson hotel last week to meet her husband. Days past but no husband arrived. Eventually the police were consulted .... there was a groom all right, but a mistake in directions had caused him to be worriedly waitinging in Henderson ville instead of Henderson. Which story reminded someone of the two dear old ladies who came to Henderson way back in the days of the old Massenburg hotel .... they confident that they had never been here before but had heard so much of the beautiful drives and lovely mountains and nice people that they felt they had to come. Mr. Massenburg might have been deaf ,or maybe business was slack, or perhaps he took a liking to them . . . or was just plain civic-minded. He got out the surry and drove the oid ladies over ine,.unen;. &u.-ep a«u curved Oxford road .... he took them on all the "lovely drives" they had heard about and he even show ed them a few "mountains" in the distance of Granville county. Every tour was personally conducted. The two ladies had a marvelous time and never found out that they weren't in Western North Carolina .... or at least not until they talked to their more traveled friends when they went back home. British Flier Tells Of Raid On Berlin With the Royal Air Force Some .vhere in England, Aug. 27—(AP) — V lucky gap in tnc clouds over the Jerlin area gave British Royal Ai» orce bombardiers Sunday n'j^ht .icir first crack at an objective they had been eager to attack.

Wc all were very keen to have crack at it. "The weather was bad right from he start and as soon as we gained my height at all we ran right into leavy clouds. "When we arrived over Berlin there was a formidable concentra ion of guns and searchlights. Wc M uised around for about half an hoir X'fore we located the target and all he time the guns were popping ■lite accurately. 'Then suddenly we saw a small gan beginning to open in the clouds hree or four miles away and we nade for it. We thought we cnuH ee a main road junction. Then the icle in the clouds widened and we itw we were right. Next we caught ight of the reflection of the moon on a hike and these two points gave s our position. "Working down to the lake we go' •n our target. There was more anti aircraft fire than ever and the searchlights blazed more brightly md we couldn't keep a steady enough ?ourse to bomb the first time. "So wc did a preliminary cantor Then we went away and two or three linutes later came back. "By this time the friendly g;ip had ipened up just a bit more. Having iropped our bombs we turned away, lodging violently because the guns vere getting warm again."
