(Llir Z cbulntt SlrrnriY VOLUME XVI. JAYCEE CHARTER BANQUET TONIGHT THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS On Easter Sunday night I ans wered the ring of our telephone to find that Dr. Githens of the depart ment of physics at Wake Forest College was trying to get a mes sage to our son, Ferd, telling him he need not report for an eight o’clock class next mor dng. The' class had been called off and he did n’t want Ferd leaving home in the snow Monday early enough to make it. I hung up wondering how many teachers would have made that much effort, not to mention some expense, to save a student discom fort. y The girl who sat a few seats in front of me at church last Sunday was a stranger to most of our con gregation. She was very nice look ing and w r as appropriately dressed. But what impressed me was the way she rose when we stood to sing. At my age and size we have a way of gathering ourselves togeth er and leaning for balance, if w r e don’t take hold of the back of the seat just ahead to help pull up. My own efforts frequently remind me painfully of an ailing cow get ting to her feet. This girl rose with one flowing, effortless motion, swift, but not jerky; controlled, but not stiff; and then she didn’t sway, but stood still. If ever I see her again and we both have the time, I’m going to ask her to sit down and get up for a while and let me watch. Her gracefulness was that pleasing to the sight. We were speaking of political candidates, my daughter and I, and she jestingly remarked of a certain man that she didn’t know r him but thought she would not vote for him because she doesn’t like his brother. I replied that I would not vote for another because of something his father did which offended me twenty-five years ago, adding that once I did vote for a man because he reminded me of my son-in-law, and he has never paid us his bill for political advertising, and my vote may be against him hereafter. By this you may see that with me suffrage is a complicated question. Joking aside, I wonder how many of us are unconsciously influenced by such flimsy reasons as those mentioned above. We may strive to be absolutely impersonal in our consideration of candidates; but ev ery now and then some purely per sonal prejudice or plea will be found to outweigh much else. Or it may be the candidate’s man ager who rubs our fur the wrong way. Right now I am resenting being sent enough typed matter for more than a column of our paper, with a six-cent stamp and a request to “send me a copy of your paper carrying this article.” No court eous request to print as much or as little as we found practicable; no suggestion that we might condense or omit. It made me feel like print ing just what I thought would be six cents worth. Hateful, and lit (Continued On Back Page) THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON.
