Page Eight This, That & the Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis It may seem a little thing to cause any irritation, but all his life I have had trouble convincing people my third son’s name is F-e-r-d and not F-r-e-d. There must be in their minds the idea that I made a mistake and just didn’t name him right, and they try to set me straight. He has been listed as Fred in college annuals, newspaper items, and everything of that kind. However, his Uncle Sam has in every instance put it Fera’, for which I am grateful. As so often happens the mag nolia shoulangeana had its first blooms open and hundreds of buds showing color when the freeze came. We are hoping those buds which are yet shut up tightly in their woolly capes may come through all right and open; but it is doubtful. If I knew all of them had been killed, 1 could stop worrying. Monday morning the big holly tree just outside my kitchen win dow was almost crowded with birds. Ice over most berries brought numerous visitors to help devour 4 hose that were too far from outside for the sleet to cover. Jays and cardinals chatted with each other while the mocking birds shrieked at them. Finally the jays decided not to take any more abuse and there were sev eral fights. The cardinals ate as fast as possible and when the party got too rough left without striking a blow. A letter from my sister in Washington told of temperature twenty degrees below zero; of a flooded field used as a skating rink; of cars skidding together on icy roads. She mentioned that they are not trying to heat the front part of the house during the cold weather. If I got one room livable at twenty below outside, I’d never stir from it, I fear; for here twelve above is dreadful weather to endure. One day recently I spoke of a day when I rode on a train all day, going north west, but feeling ❖4*+ *> -i- *j» 4» *;> •:* -j- *;• -i* *;* *:«>:• -> *:•> -i- <• *;< * *:• >:• -j* -i* *:* •:« •;« *;« *;• *> 4* *j* »;•> .;» 4- i Just Arrived I TIN RIM SIFTERS | TIN MILK BUCKETS + | A New Shipment of Paper Drapes I 51 GAUGE 15 DENIER NYLON % HOSE-sl.lO PAIR t | Also Beautiful Assortment of Valentines | Flowers 5c - $5 Store <• ■•1 M^, 4 , 4 , 4 , 4•4 , 4 , 4*4•4 , 4 , 4•4 , 4•4*4 , 4 , 4 , 4•4‘4*4•4•4•4 , 4•4 , 4 , 4 M^4, 4•4•4•4•4•4•4•4•4•4 , 4 , *i•4*4 , 4 , 4• +— —*—" -————. ——..———..—— "—■—■■—< CUT YOUR FOOD BILLS BY TRADING AT t CITY MARKET Florida Oranges 20c Doz. 25 lb. can pure lard $4.95 Musselman Apple Sauce 13c Can Picnic Hams 45c lb.

No amount of 5 telling myself the engineer knew » his business and the tracks were 5 laid right could make comfortable. ; It did not appear to me that we i could possibly reach our destina l tion unless we swung far to the r right, i The youngest son and the oldest , grandson, both fliers, said they [ have had the same sensation when ; alone in the air and flying “on in t struments.” They felt the compass must surely have gone wrong and had an almost irresistible impulse to ignore it and go the way they . felt inclined. ! I asked what is done is such : cases, and the boys replied: “Well, ! you'd best pay no attention to your feelings and put your mind 1 on following your compass. If you • don’t—well—.” I couldn’t help wondering how 1 much difference it would make in our spiritual lives, if instead of following our own inclinations, we could by faith follow the course charted for us by One who knows 1 the way, even though at times we ’ must go through fogs of doubt, 1 depending wholly upon what we have learned from the Pilot. Study the seed catalogs, decide whether you really want to ex-! periment with new plants or ’ ew varieties of old ones, whether you’d rather break your back 1 leaning down to pick bush beans or driving stakes for running ' vines, make a lined-out plan for your garden or put in seeds hap hazard as the notion strikes you; Just go ahead, remembering that 1 it will all turn into a nuisance 1 about August, and you’ll wish you ; had done things differently. i j __ Mr. and Mrs. Frank Poindexter -of Winston Salem spent the week l end here with the C.
