Small Alton Temple, son of the
L. R. Temples, was getting ready
to attend the Coleman-Barrow
wedding. Wishing to observe all
the proprieties of such an occa
sion. he inquired, “Will they take
up a collection at the wedding?”
This weather we're having
one sunny day and one rainy—is
driving good housekeepers fran
tic. They don't have time to fin
ish up things. A friend of mine
has a big crocheted bedspread in
her bathtub and no chance to dry
it. She can hang up hose and
some other garments by the stove,
but that bedspread has “got her
down.”
Twelve years ago th : month I
comme .t d or bachelors, leap year
and matters connected wherewith,
also publishing a list of unmarried
men to make it easier for the
spinsters. I remember Deputy
Guy Massey's helping me to get
up that list and the fun it afford
ed him to put in the name of his
son, G. C.
Now, of all the list. I believe
A. G. Kemp, Jesse Kilpatrick and
G. C. Massey, are the only ones
still single. I'm not taking the
< credit, even for Proctor Kemp and
1 Zollie Culpepper; but our bache
lors got some good publicity in
1932. If another list is desired for
this hunting season, women want
ing it will please notify me.
(N. B.) File the names given
already.
Last week’s mail brought me a !
letter so filled with loving kind
ness that I sat down and had a
good cry, which may seem a queer
way to express appreciation. But
it did me loads of good and all
week I've felt uplifted, though re
alizing I do not deserve one-fourth
the nice things the writer said.
And I’ve made up my mind to
try to pass on, in part at least, en- |
eouragement and sympathy that j
letter brought me. These are not!
easy days and I am too prone to j
dwell on n>y own problems, for- !
getting those of others.
Our youngest son had a birth
day last December 22. We tried to
send him a caramel cake for that
date, mailing it in a specially
made box to the APO given. He
had not left the states then, but
did leave before he got the cake.
His address has changed several
times and we had almost decided
he would never taste his birthday
cake, when last Sunday a letter
came saying he had just eaten the
last of it. After following him 45
days it overtook him in North Af
rica and he said it was in good
condition, the filling not harden
ed.
Reading Barrie’s letter I re
membered a tale told by a neigh
bor when I was a girl. He said
he went deer hunting and late in
the afternoon shot at a buck
which he thought he missed, as it
kept going. He returned home,
ate supper, and sat by his fire till
early bedtime, when he heard the
sound of running hooves in the
yard. Hurrying td the door he was
just in time to see a deer fall.
That bullet had chased it for
hours and caught it right at the
door. At least, that’s what Mr.
|' Hagood said. An dthe deer was
said to be as good as Barrie
thought his cake was.

Mr. D. McLean, from the Wake
County school maintenance de
partment, is completing this week
a portion of the project started
last year to improve the appear
ance of our building. This part
of the project consists of refinish

the completion of this work Wake
lon will have the distinction of
being one of the few r schools in the
state that can be proud of having
no marks or cuts on any desks
throughout the entire buildings.
We feel greatly indebted to Mr.
Randolph Benton, our county su

possible and we hope that the stu
dent body will cooperate in keep

Dear Mr. Miller:
I want to express my personal
appreciation to you and your oth
er teachers who assisted us in the
Physical Fitness Institute conduct
ed at Garner High School on Jan
uary 6.
The success of this meeting was
in a large measure due to the
splendid work of your teachers ir.
the conduct of the rhythmic pro
gram. I also want to express my
appreciation to the students
through you. We have never had
a finer group of children to work
with in an institute of this type,
and a large part of their spirit ol
cooperation grew out of the atti
tude of the pupils from the Wake
lon School.
Yours truly,
Chares E. Spencer. Adviser,
Health and Physical Ed.
Monday we were glad to have
Miss Eunice Outlaw, who is with
the State Department of Public
Health, with us for our high

working on the state health and
physical education program and
Monday she showed us two mo
tion pictures on nutrition. Some
of the lower grades were inteerst
ed in this program and were pres
ent also. All those who saw the
movies enjoyed them and found
them quite helpful. The boys and
girls also enjoyed Miss Outlaw’s
comments and interpretations.
Tuesday morning the Rev. C. E.
Vale, of the Methodist Church,
conducted our devotional exercis
es. Judy Robertson announced
the program and presented Mr.
Vale, who spoke interestingly and
instructively to the high school
girls and boys.
Friday night Miss Benton, of
the Blind School, visited us again
in our health and physical pro
gram at the gymnasium. A few
citizens of our community were
also present for . a part of the
evening. We have enjoyed having
Miss Benton with us very much.
She has added to our program
and we feel fortunate indeed that
she has given us so much of her
time.
