This, That, & The Other (Continued From First Page) me; that she might not be in hei office; that Dr. Bulla does not lik having the nurses spend a day there, unless there is a clinic or something like that. I quoted her remark to my daughter, who said, "Os course he doesn’t. To the cas- ; ual caller, seeing the nurses in their i offices might indicate that they I were loafing around, gossiping, j and wasting the taxpayers’ money.’’ But the schools were not open that day, though .1 suppose the casual , caller might have forgotten that if in a critical mood. I heard Miss Elizabeth Moore speak of a trip out in the country j near Wake Forest the day before - when she had to leave the highway j to drive two miles over the slippery . roads to quarantine for scarlet fev- j er, and while I was waiting for ( Mrs. Hall I glanced at some sched- , ules on the desks, and I can tell , you those school nurses don’t en- . joy the bread of idleness at many meals. They have to help with the 1 clinics for venereal diseases, too, ( and that’s no dream of delight. 1 More than once I’ve been told ] that Dr. Bulla is averse to publici- ] ty; but this isn’t enough to worry him at all, I’m sure. And he has , worked so long and so faithfully in , our county that I am especially ( glad he has a nice, airy, sunny of fice now, with a bay window be- , hind him. Now that announcements are be- 1 ing made about Gone With The Wind coming to Raleigh next week, my natural contrariness has gone into action. In my mind lam j wondering if I’ll be willing to pay seventy-five cents, at least, plus over forty miles of traveling and give up about six hours of time for the chance to see that picture. For months I’ve been feeling that if ever it came near enough, I’d make a special effort to see that film as screened by all those pro ducers, actors and actresses; bW now I don’t know whether to risk it. The whole book is fairly clear in my mind; I know how Scarlett, Rhett, Melanie and the rest looked, to me. It would be upsetting for them to come out appearing and speaking differently from what I had imagined. They might be far better than I had thought; but ‘hey’d be strangers, not the ones I fought and suffered with. I might leave that show with un dying memories that would be priz ed; but I might come away regret ■ ting bitterly the time and money i spent and with a tendency to think again and again of the price of the stockings or the print dress gone . with the wind. Crazy, of course, i but that’s the way I do. WARMER AND WINDY | r Warmer weather on Tuesday I went far towards melting the re mainder of the snow and ice that have lain on the ground for two weeks. Wind added its work of drying mud and scattering the trash that has accumulated during the days when street cleaning was 1 out of the question. Although the majority of resi -5 dents have water again, there are J some pipes not yet thawed, the ■f ! ground having been frozen to a | depth not expected by those who | laid the water and sewer lines. At i present it is not the pipes leading j to homes that are frozen, but the larger one bringing water from the main line. From other sections come ac counts of discomfort, suffering and i. loss far in excess of anything v known here. Graham County, in the extreme western part of the state, reported heavy loses of can ned fruit by freezing and subse quent bursting of jars. Many of these jars were stored in spring houses, used in summer to keep foods cool and in winter for warmth; this year’s unusual cold r being an exception to the rule that ;e nothing freezes in a spring house. "TTnr ZT£"B ULON RECORD CROP AND SEED LOANS AVAILABLE County Agent, Jno. C. Anderson, announced that the Emergency Crop and Feed Loans, better known by our local growers as Seed Loans, are now available to farmers of Wake county. These loans will be made under the supervision of Lehman W. Barnes, Field Supervisor for this District. Applications for the loans should be filed in the basement of the Wake County Court House with R. P. Snell, who will assist with the applications. "These loans will be made as in the past,” says Mr. An derson, "only to those farmers whose cash requirements are very small and who cannot obtain a loan from any other source including the Production Credit Association, Banks, and other private concerns and individuals.” The money loaned will be limited to the applicant’s necessary cash needs in preparing and cultivating his 1940 crops. Borrowers who obtain loans for the production of cash crops will be required to give a first lien on their crops as security. Mr. Snell is now receiving the applications in the basement of our Wake County Court House.
