T! & O (Continued from Front Page) pants so badly that he’d have to stay in the tree till dark. So she came on home, and next day Doug las gave her the mistletoe, as promised. There are others —Sylvester Bunn, Tom Bunn, Crama Cone, Tom Strickland, Kathleen Pippin, besides the ones I don’t recall — and Miss Staples near the middle, looking very solemn. And who could blame her? For Crystal said, “I'm afraid we nearly wor ried the life out of Miss Staples that year. We had Mrs. Helen Whitley the year before, and Miss Carrie Gill the next year, but I don’t believe we treated either of them as badly as we did our fifth grade teacher.” By all means bring your class pictures to the alumni reunftm. - About'tfiat blooming boxwood I mentioned two weeks ago: My sis ter wrote me that on their farm in Dinwiddie Courtly, Va., is a very large box bush that blooms every year. She thinks it is because it has never been cut back. Ours hasn t either, so that probably explains its blooming. Mrs. Helen Whitley wrote from Siler City that her box bush has just had its first blooms. However, if you want to prune your boxwoods, don’t let the thoughts of blossoms deter you. They aren’t so very pretty. On being asked what is a ‘‘semi formal” affair, I replied that my knwledge is probably at fault, but it may be one of those functions where the women all wear evening dresses and the men wear business suits. I never claim to be an Emily Post. DEATHS MRS. N. A. WALL Friday morning at 7:30 death claimed Mrs. N. A. Wall after an illness of five weeks.

A Customer Hopes In the millennium you will get waited on in a hardware store within ten minutes of your entry; drugstores will use enough ink on cash-register soda-fountain checks so that purchasers can read .them; linen shops will not have Must- Vacate Sales; taxi drivers will have change for a great big one dollar bill; restaurants will know enough to advertise No Music, No Radio, No Other Entertainment; the municipal subway will equip stations with enough signs to tell a first-time passenger what to do; ash-tray areas will be at least 25 inches; postage stamps won’t curl up in warm weather; theater cur tains will rise within five minutes of the advertised time; authors will refuse to be cocktail-partied or guest-of-honored; there will be no newspaper syndicates —if you want to read X’s stuff or see Y’s drawings, you will have to get the paper in which his stuff exclusive ly appears; and' nobody will tell what he’d do if he w t ere dictator, or wh*t might happen in the mil lennium. —Rotarian Magazine. And we might add—business men will realize that the local newspaper is the most profitable mediupi of advertising, trading at home helps everybody, and the subscription price of a paper is really due in advance.

Andrews Safety Follows “Clean-Up Week” Spring clean-up week, which is an annual observance in thousands of American communities and should be in all of them, is in the offing. The week was started pri marily as a beautifying movement —old shacks are torfi down, vacant lots are cleared of debris, homes are painted, grass-grown fields are cut and the harvest burned. It’s amazing how little is needed in many cases to change a squalid street to one that is pleasant and charming to the eye. Furthermore, something other than a better looking town results from a clean-up week that is loy ally and enthusiastically supported by all citizens. For a sound, thor ough clean-up process is one of the best possible ways of getting KLAN NOW TO VISIT ELECTRICAL DEALERS’ STORES NEXT WEEK ~-*"T /. # ■. ■ See Tbs EVE of the new 1938 AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC RANGES at Electrical Dealers April 25th to April 30th .

Tow KUctric I.ow rn«T aSkaLSl rid of fire hazards. A town which rids itself of old, unused buildings, and which does away with litter and grass-ridden lots, becomes a far safer place in which to live and work. Clean-up week should not stop at exteriors. As the National Board of Fire Underwriters points out, everyone should go through his home inside as well as out in search of fire dangers. A con gested attic or basement, filled with ancient magazines and broken furniture and clothes that will never be used dgain, is the perfect starting place for a blaze. Frayed or amateurishly repaired light cords, improperly stored in flammable liquids, dirty or worn heating units—from such things as these come fires that destroy hun dreds of millions of dollars worth of property and thousands of lives. Every town should make this year’s clean-up week the most thorough in its history. It’s an easy job, if everyone does his bit to help. And it will pay big divi dends, in beauty, safety and cash. • Colored School Team Winners The boys basketball team of the Wakefield-Zebulon School won the state championship in the B divi sion, finishing the season with a game on March 28 in Greensboro, when they defeated the western champions from Soencer.
