Wendell Library
Because of the cost involved in
renovating the old Wendell Chris
tian Church, the Wendell Town
Commissioners voted not to accept
the building as site for the town’s
library.
The commissioners were of the
opinion that it would require the
sum of SIO,OOO to renovate and re
model the building, taking all the
money that could be realized from
a special tax levy for this purpose
and leaving none for operational
expenses.
M. C. Todd, Wendell civic lead
er and president of the Bank of
Wendell, had offered the building
to the town to be used as a public
library provided the building was
remodeled according to an archi
tect’s plans furnished by him and
sufficient funds made available to
operate the library.
The decision not to accept the
building was made Thursday at
the commissioner’s regular
monthly meeting.

Washington Report
By Bill Whitley
SERIOUS. It’s practically unan
imous that America’s farm prob
lems are at the emergency stage,
and government officials are al
most all agreed that the problems
should be settled on a non-parti
san basis. In short, it’s a job to be
done, and not one to worry about
who will be credited with solving
it.
But as serious as it is, there is
an element of humor in it. Tradi
tionally, Americans are people who
can smile even under the worst
circumstances. The worst wars
have produced some of this coun
try’s most amusing and humorous
literature, for example.
Naturally, then, there is the
lighter side to the American farm
dilemna. Farmers find themselves
kidding each other about the low
prices they are receiving, and they
make jokes to forget the crisis they
face.
BEST. Recently, the Washing
ton correspondent for the Win
ston-Salem Journal, Pat Munroe,
went through the midwestern
farm belt, and he turned up what
is considered the best joke of all
about farmers and their troubles.
As Pat tells it, the incident took
place on a midwestern farm where
pork isn’t worth a pig’s squeal.
It seems that this hog farmer
was awakened in the night by his
wife.
“A thief is out in the hog pen,
John. He’s stealing every hog
we’ve got.”
John hushed his wife and whis
pered: “Don’t make any noise.
You might run the thief away be
fore he gets the hogs.”
ROSES. During the Christmas
holidays, Congressmen get far
more Christmas cards and other
holiday greetings than they can
possibly acknowledge.
But one lawmaker, Sen. W. Kerr
Scott, received a Christmas gift
that he’ll remember all year.
The six ladies who make up his

secretarial staff all chipped in and
gave him roses for the whole year
of 1956 one rosebud each morn
ing to put on his lapel.
(Confidentially, the Senator
says he’s not accepting unless the
girls themselves agree to pin the
roses on his lapel each morning
when he arrives for work.)
VISITORS. Quite a few Tar
Heels were seen moseying around
Washington as the new session of
Congress opened.
Some were tuorists, a few w'ere
interested in legislation, and, some
others were still Christmasing.
But one was checking on chewing
tobacco.
He was Mr. Arch Taylor of Win
ston-Salem, one of the old-time
chewing tobacco manufacturers.
For years he has been spending
Senator Scott a carton of chewing
tobacco from time to time.
The other day, he walked into
Scott’s office and said:
“Just wanted to make sure the
Senator is still getting his tobac
co okay.”
It takes a considerate gentleman
to be that concerned about the
safety arrival of chewing tobacco.
WAKELON WINS
DOUBLE HEADER
Wakelon girls just couldn’t miss
when they tossed the ball at the
goal Tuesday night. Wakelon won
over the Glendale girls by a score

a high score. She was credited
with 26 points.
The Wakelon boys came out of
a long end with a score of 58-53.
They were opponents of the Glen
dale boys.
Robert Jenkins and Joe Wayne
Tippett were high scorers during
the boys’ game. They scored 18 and
