Davis f + + * * + + '/•+++++++++++++*+++++*++* If you’ve nothing better to do, get in on an argument my hus band and I are continuing at in tervals. He is having Builder s Supply Company make him some frames with glass fitted in sashes to be used in growing early plants. He said they are to be hot frames. I said cold frames. He said Mr. Glover agreed that they are hot frames. I didn’t care if he did. I said a cold frame only protects from weather without having ar tificial heat, while a hot bed or hot frame has heat either from fuel of some kind or from ma nure. My husband triumphantly replied that was just what he meant to do. I scornfully asked how he’d heat it and he said with manure from the old cow lot or the chicken yard. I insisted that that neither would do; that sta- | ble manure would be needed; then j went back to the original theme— those things wilj be cold frames. For reinforcement he went to a catalog and I to Noah Webster. He agrees with the catalog and I with the dictionary. Come on in, folks; the fussing’s fine. While I may be right about the frames, there is no question about my being wrong in setting tire to a small pile of dead grass and leaves swept up from the back yard. They burned so feebly and slowly that, though at first I kept a careful lookout, before noon the little fire was forgotten. But it finally decided to go some where else instead of out. And when the menfolk started back to work after dinner the flames had spread in every direction and were creeping briskly over the grass toward a favorite young peach tree and what rose bushes we have. In a few minutes they’d have been badly damaged. It took a good part of the grandchildreri’s sandpile to stop the fire and some time for me to get over the scare my carelessness caused. Here’s a hint handed in for this column: Those who wear wrist watches will find that crystals are less liable to break if coated with transparent nail polish. This does not prevent a clear view of the dial. If it were not for the thought of sickness and wounds, making those Red Cross bandages at the clubhouse would be one of the most enjoyable tasks I ever shared with friends. There is no compli cated work about it, no bias seams nor gathers, and you can talk as you cut or sew. One of the (Continued on Back Page) Truck Operators May Get Tires Essential truck operators m areas where tire recapping facil ities are inadequate or unavail-, able may now obtain a ration cer- ! tificate permitting them to ex change with dealers a tire which t needs recapping for a used tire 01 a new “war” tire ,the Raleigh District Office of Price Adminis tration announces. A “war” tire is one made from reclaimed rub ber. Certificates may be obtained by a truck operator from his local j War Price and Rationing Board provided he is operating an essen tial trucking service and turns in the recappable carcass at the time the certificate is used. OPA announces two other changes in tire ratiining regula tions: (1) Tire dealers have through February 29. 1944 to request the return of Parts B (the stock re plenishment portion of a tire ra tioning certificate) which they were allowed to acquire last sum mer. (2) Passenger cars operating as commercial motor vehicles and used exclusively to transport per sons at funerals are now eligible for new tires. Since funerals cus- j tomarily require the use of both ! a hearse and passenger cars to transport those attending the cer vices, OPA decided to allow tires for these cars on the same basis as for hearses.

School News The pupils of Miss Anderson’s sixth grade have been trying to be very patriotic this year. We have organized a club called War time Club. We are buying a lot of bonds and stamps in our club. Our pledge was written by Wil lie Brannan and our flag was de signed by Walter Hood. Barbara Hardison has written a poem. We are saving scrap paper and scrap iron. We are also writing to sol diers in our club. We had an auction sale in our room Tuesday. We raised $19.45. The highest thing bought was Miss Anderson’s picture for $5.10. Gene Jones got it. We gave the assembly program Wednesday in chapel. It was call ed “Investigating For Uncle Sam.” George Rigsbee Massey announc ed the following program. 1. Let’s Remember Pearl Har bor, 6th grade 2. Scripture, Louise Denton 3. Lord’s Prayer, Student group 4. Poem, Helen Johnson 5. Piano Solo, Willie Brannan 6. Playlet, 6th grade. After our program we had an other auction sale. We raised ssi.- 65. Miss Alston bought a five-rent piece of candy for $6.00. That was the highest sale. Edward Ihrie was our splendid auctioneer. The total amount for our class during the drive at school was $388.80. We hope to help bring peace to all nations soon. By Stella Bunn The sixth grade sale was an incentive for a rally put on by *fte high school group the following Friday. Over S7OO in bonds and stamps were bought by the high school boys and girls as Fred Pip pin and Mitchell Duke auctioned off canned food, a chicken, sau sage, pictures, comic books, candy, gum, etc. Both the groups taking part in these rallies were very enthusi astic and responded splendidly. Bond sales for the school reach ed the following totals: High School $3,039 29 Grammar School 1,376.55 Primary School 695.35 Total $5,111.15 It was reported that more chil dren participated in this 4th War Loan than previously. This is very encouraging we feel as it indicates an awareness of the need on the part of many who be fore did not take part. SEVENTH GRADE 4-H CLUB The 4-H Club met Feb. 1. The president called the meeting to order. After the secretary’s report we had our program. The program was as follows: Devotional, Sue Richards; Pray er, Peggy Richardson; Song, Dix ie, Class; Vegetable Parade, 10 girls and boys; Book report, Stel la Phillips; Song, America, Class.

The speakers will include State Senator R. Gregg Cherry of Gas tonia, the humorist; and District Governor Robert W. Madry of Chapel Hill.

This should have been $193.59, which is con siderably more. Mrs. Gill did an unusual amount of work and her report shows probably the best offering ever made by the com munity for this object. Her work i.. highly appreciated by every one interested in child welfare and life. It is said that this community gave more than any Wake County U wn except Raleigh.
