Perry of Route 3, Zebulon, found his Rex Hospital room brightened by a visit from famed Tex Ritter, movieland cowboy. Donald is a victim of arthritic and rheumatic fever, and Tex was playing at Raleigh’s Capitol Theater. MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS This, That , & the Other Heralded as a wonderful discov ery is frozen mashed potato. We are told that this delicacy may be made ready for the table in twen ty-five minutes. Fine and good; but even more wonderful is the knowledge that by cutting the po tatoes into small pieces and cook ing them in only a little water, one may have mashed potatoes ready in twenty-five minutes without benefit of freezer locker. • The friends who gave me the following item credited it to Mrs. Paul Jones: When you have to crack and peel a cocoanut, put it into the warm oven of your stove for a while before trying to break it up. You will find that the meat comes out of the shell with Hit and Run Driver Injures Local Woman On Monday Afternoon Mrs. Frank Coiner was injured Monday afternoon when she was hit by a passing automobile as she crossed the street after leaving the Trailways bus she had ridden from Raleigh. The driver of the automobile continued without stopping, leaving Mrs. Coiner ly ing unconscious beside the high way. Mrs. Coiner said that after get ting from the bus, she saw the car coming, but that it slowed up, ap parently for her to cross. As she was stepping up to the curb in front of Dr. L. M. Massey’s house, the car struck her and continued on its way. Help Comes Quickly Dr. Durward Stallings and John Palmer came on the accident scene almost immediately and took Mrs. Coiner to the Zcbulon Clinic, where Dr. Ben Thomas treated her. She suffered exten sive bruises and stitches were re quired to close a wound on hr arm.

And now when friends say, no matter how kindly, when they see me walking, “Mrs. Davis, I’d be glad to run you home,” I have to remember they mean they’ll let me ride with them in their automobiles before I can sincerely say thank you. • The late Mrs. G. M. Bell used laughingly to accuse her daughter, Lorna, of neglecting sweeping and dusting when making a room rea dy for company. She said that Lorna’s method was tb place a large vase of flowers on the cen ter table—that was in the days when every well-furnished parlor had a table in the middle —and pull down the window shades. That was also prior to “centers of interest”, but the idea was there all right. Lorna declared her way gave the visitors something pretty to look at and left her rested. Many times now when I bring flowers into the house I recall that conversation and feel I ought to be dusting instead of arranging “bokays.” But the flowers give us much pleasure and I do dust— sometimes. • Buying shoes is always serious business with me, both as to fit and to price.
