This, That & 'l
The Other
By Mrs. Thco. B. Davis |
\ r
Mrs. H. E. Whitaker of Milling
ton, N. J., has sent- me a lot of
excellent household hints as print
ed in a northern publication. I
appreciate them and hope some
time to have a ghance to try each
one in my own home. -• *■> -
The head psychologist at New
York City’s Bellevue Hospital is
quoted as saying that smoking is
in the same class as thumb-suck
ing, and that a baby's pacifier will
answer the same purpose as a
cigarette.
Now that’s a logical way to de
feat the shortage of cigarettes.
Just let all the cute little girls, the
sophisticated matrons, the high
school boys and men about town
remember this expert’s pronounce
ment and stop trying to find
smokes. They can, at far less ex
pense and with almost as much
dignity, suck their thumbs as they
read, chat or play bridge. Re
member, too, Mrs. Theo. Davis is
quoting an authority, not merely
exposing her own ignorance.
Coming to work on a recent
morning I saw in the corner of
the Gill and Campen yards a rob
in, a bluejay, a thrasher, a catbird,
a cardinal and a wren engaged in
what seemed to be a discussion of
some problem. They were so ab
sorbed I had a chance to see them
well before they separated and
flew their several ways all ex
cept the wren, which twined flex
ible toes around a twig and, hang
ing sidewise, looked at me, chirp
ing as if trying to report the meet
ing. I keep wishing I might have
understood her.
Is there anyone but me around
here who remembers that Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt had a
daughter named Ethel? She was
half-sister to “Princess Alice”,
Mr. Roosevelt’s first wife’s daugh
ter and some years younger. The
Roosevelt boys were much in
print, being very active and about
as energetic as their father. Alice
was even more frequently men
tioned; but we never read much
about Ethel. Still, I am surprised
that nobody I’ve spoken to about
her knows any answers. It can’t
be that I made her up, can it?

tion certificates Wednesday morn

other very successful year. Supt.
Lovvrey and his faculty are to be

Maj. Ferd Davis
Rotary Speaker
Vaiden Whitley had the program
last Friday night and had as his
speaker his next door neighbor,
Major Ferd L. Davis. Major Da
vis is a former Rotarian now’ home
on leave from the 13th Air Force
in the Philippines.
, Ferd told the Rotarians a num
ber of interesting things about the
Southwest Pacific where he had
been in every major campaign for
the past 18 months, and showed us
souvenirs and pictures of bomb
ing done by his outfit. His talk
was greatly enjoyed, since al
though the club has had other
servicemen as their guests no one
from this sector has spoken be
fore.
Ferd said he was looking for
ward to becoming a civilian and
an active Rotarian again. He has
several decorations, but said that
he liked his Good Conduct Ribbon
best, since that was given him in
1943 after a year’s honorable ser
vice as an enlisted man.
Bond Auction
Sales amounted to more than
$50,000 in the bond auction for
the Seventh War Loan here Sat
urday.. The band concert was
given in the remodeled warehouse
owned by the W. B. Bunn Com
pany, which was large enough to
accommodate the majority of the
crowd.
Speakers included Lieutenant-
Governor Ballentine. Manager
Fred Dixon, Dr. L. M. Massey, all
of whom emphasized the impor
tance of financing adequately the
struggle in which w’e are engaged
with Japan. The war’s conclusion
must depend in large measure
upon equipment and transporta
tion. both expensive.
The committee in charge will
continue activity until the com
munity’s quota has been raised.
