Zrbuloit VOLUME 10 i rHIS, THAT j I AND THE OTHER! T •« 2 + * 1 % By MBS. THEO. B. DAVIS + + Among the things I’m thankful for is the fact that Wakelon High S< hool will not stage a beauty con test. With all the respect due to those who differ from me I rise to remark that all beauty contests are questionable as to benefits derived therefrom and such events for high school girls are in many ways de plorable. Think of the effect upon a girl in hei teens whether she wins or loses in such a contest; of the criticism to which she is thereby subjected; of her short-lived triumph or her disappointment which may last longer; of the inappropriateness of such young girls on parade in eve ring dresses —not to say bathing suits; and, finally, think of the relative unimportance of physical beauty in public schools.

Reports from the various clubs sounded startlingly like the per sonal service reports at missionary meetings. Over and over we heard of garments and food given; of medical help provided; of the sale of stamps to raise funds for fight ing tuberculosis; of co-operation with parent-teacher associations and other phases of school work; of libraries already started or plan ned; of the aim to become better citizens of better communities. In her address the state presi dent urged that we hold as objec tives the creation of better home life and a greater respect for the Sabbath. The chairman of music insisted that we sing hymns and that as a part of the work we gather the family together each Sunday at some hour and sing hymns to gether. The social side of club work was mentioned by one speaker, but she spoke of it as merely incidental, saying that it was not worth in cluding in a report of activities at regular meetings—that all over the state women are serving a cup of tea and a sandwich and there’s THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN.

NUMBER U\ YE FLABDOODLE BY THE SWASHBUKER Hear Ye! Hear Ye! and Hear Ye! If you are one of those low-browed persons (and aren’t we all) who can enjoy the right honorable art of fistcuffs versus fisteuffs esq., et cetera and et cetera, then drag the old carcass over to Wendell to morrow night for the big ado. There will no hair-pulling or scratching allowed, and all fouls will be called by that luscious bit of humanity, Kurlie Wallace. Friend “Grip” Daugherty will attempt to lay aside the enemy in three fast, furious, ferocious '•ounds. Coach Gerow wil engage in a glove to glove (not kill gloves nether) with an adversary while bat gentleman of color, one Ge natius Spivey of Rhodes, Rhodes, Rhodes and Rhodes Barber Shop will sirvglehanded attempt to place in a prone position, another like himself. Mr. Joe (Promoterator) Palmer formerly of Zebulon, BDTM* and now of Wendell, is the instigator >f these matches. “The best fights I’ve ever promoted,” said Joe. “Th’ >nly ones he’s ever promoted,” says I. Anyway, take a look at his ad on the back page now and decide to toddle over and see techinical K O’s by the six. * Before the Decease of the To bacco Market. Two fair young ladies of our vil lage take the cake and what’s left of the pastry shop for boners this week. While enjoying(?) the sights at the fair, they had their fortunes told and directly afterward wan dered into the exhibit hall to look over and over, etc. While in the hall, they became so engrossed in their fortunes, exhibits, or some thing, that they left, the barn by the wrong door. As they struck cold air, the fireworks display be gan. “Well blow me down! we’ve left the fair grounds!” So, the li’’ innocent gels had to again pur chase tickets to the fair. If they do that many times at sl.lO, their fortunes will be gone. A Krichtdale teacher asked me to tell Hilker’s manager who she was so she could get her fur coat which had been in storage all sum mer (I imagine) at any rate when I vowed I didn’t know her, the manager let her have it. Evidently, there was more honesty in her fa•••e than mine. Wow! Ain’t she the honest John though! Congratu'a tion Miss Eberhart. Right is might, every time, they told me. In closing may I ask who the gent was to whom talking wi*h his lady-friend was more important than foot-ball practice. Local Girl Honored Miss Grace Coltraine was hon ored by her classmates at Greens boro College recently when she was elected secretary of the senior class. Miss Coltraine. a member of the graduating class of 1935, is also on the personnel of the Greens boro College orchestra and a mem ber of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet and the Irving Literary society.
