(Ehe Zrbulmt IRrrord VOLUME XVI. This, That, & The Other By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Going home on the day they gave the minstrel at Wakelon, we were surprised to find parked in our side yard a car w’ith a South Carolina license, and began scouting around to find the driver. He was in the front yard catching goldfish in the pool with a dip-net; he was not a thief, but our youngest son, and the car belonged to Mr. Tuten, ag riculture teacher in our school. Barrie would not tell me what they wanted to do with the goldfish, ex cept that they were needed in the minstrel, and Lavere Pearce, who was witii him, was equally non committal. I knew those fish were entirely untrained and feared they might not perform well, but the boys car: icd them off in triumph— ar.d the borrowed car. ‘The next day Barrie told me they had put the bowl of fish on a table and in the middle of the bowl a tall, slender glass holding more “gold fish” made of thin slices of raw carrot. r l he live fish swam around the glas . which could not be seen by the audience, being transparent . As the show progressed a member of the troupe would occasionally saunter over to the bowl, pick out and up one of the carrot fish, slip it into his mouth and crunch appreciatively before swallowing it. So collegiate! I thought that an unusually good stunt and hope they don’t mind my telling the seciet now that it is in the past. Mr. Austin was said to be responsible for it, to the best of Barrie’s knowledge and belief. An organization in another state is at work trying to find a substi tute fur the title “mother-in-law” j —and to persuade others to use it.; I’ve an idea it's love’s labor lost. We being what we are and th per sons .our sons and daughters marry being what they are, any word se lected would soon have the samr meaning as the one they wish dis carded. The rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and it takes at least three to make any thing but a mother-in-law out of ( the maternal ancestor of one’s hus band or wife. “Kin-mother” is one of the suggested terms, and it sounds foolish. Love-mother is another proposed substitute, and it would be a lie often enough to discredit it in the very beginning. Admitting that to me it sounds bettter to hear myself referred to or introduced as “my wife’s moth er” than “my mother-in-law”, I still hold that the latter is a good, sturdy, dependable title, hard to be improved upon. What it stands for varies often and widely, depending on those concerned in each case. All of us love the early daffodils and jonquils, but few flotvers are harder to arrange gracefully. They have a habit of crowding closely to gether and looking as stiff and ill at-ease as possible. However, if you have a clump you don’t mind dis turbing you can make a beautiful arrangement. Uproot the clump, bulbs and all, and put the whole thing into a pottery bowl with peat moss or sand around to hold the bulbs in place, loosening them enough to allow the stems to the flowers and the slender foliage to THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON.

Richardson will be jurors for the April term of the civil court in Raleigh. separate somewhat. Add water as if nothing else were used. The green is a big help to the appearance of the yellow flow’ers and you’d be surprised to see how charmingly they will bend and sway. After the blossoms have faded the bulbs may be reset with no injury. Os course no one would uproot flowers for casual use, but when something large and striking is de sired, it’s different.

Future Farmers Present Program Professor Tuten had' the pro gram. He had his class of Future Farmers to put on a program. The boys had a round table discussion in regard to the present and fu ture programs of American farm ers. It was an interesting pro gram, showing how our agricul ture school#; are training the Fu ture Farmers of America. Tr.c j program bears out the writer’s; opinion that the coming genera tion of the Future Farmers of America will cooperate better than their fathers or forefathers and that there will be more money made and less quarreling and contending with the manufactur-; ors. We wish to take our hats j off to our Future Farmers and to agriculture teachers like Proses-j sor Tuten, who is trying to show* the way. The “Tigers” and “Wildcats” are still running neck and neck in the contest. Mr. Woodcock, superintendent of the Carolina Power and Light Co., was presented for membership in the Rotary Club.

Charles David Bunn, alias Lott Bunn, had an epidemic of breaking doors, windows, entering, and steal ing various articles from J. A. Kemp and Sons and Alex Merritt. He was sent to Superior Court un der a SSOO bond. Along with Tinx Pretty, Lott was tried in Superior Court Wednesday (Tim being joint ly charged with house breaking and stealing), and this court went the other one better by sendnig both “up” 18 months to three years. Leßoy Edwards was before the Court for the same kind of offense, probable caus° found, and Judge Rhodes sent him along with Bunn and Pretty to Raleigh where he drew 18 months. Theodore Arrington was accused of abandonment and non-support by his wife. The Court sent them out to talk the matter over and they agreed to live together. But the judge reenforced the agree ment by telling him he must sup port his wife and child or a sen j tence of 6 months on the road would be invoked. He must also pay the court costs. John D. High drove a car with out the State’s permission. Thirty I days on the roads, said the law, or get a license and pay the costs. | Leo Goodson borrowed some corn from Jesse Mitchell’s field without Mitchell’s consent. The corn will cost him three months’ la bor on the highways. (Continued On Back Page) 151 Children Were Killed InN.C. Sts. “Fifty-one children were killed in North Carolina last year while playing in the streets, and it is high time the people of North Car olina resolved to do something about this,” Ronald Hocutt, Direct or of the Highway Safety Division, declared recently in commenting on the prevalence of this type of accident. “It is the obligation of local citi zens to eliminate this blotch on our safety record. One way to do this is to provide ample playground facilities so that the children will not have to play in the streets; another way is to see that your children are made keenly aware of the dangers of this practice; and a third way is to be constantly on the alert for playing children when you are driving.” NUMBER 37
