Sunday, November, 24, 1963 BILLY ARTHUR “We finally got rid of Rex,” Harvey Danieil said. I had asked him for a story, and that’s the way he began. “We had a pet crow, and we called him Rex—among other things. The neighbors had a few names for him, too. He wasn’t such a bad crow, but the neigh bors complained that he made too much noise and performed too many pranks as any old crow would and should. “We didn’t pay too much at tention to their requests to get rid of him at first, but when a neighbor threatened to dispose of him herself if we didn’t, we thought we’d better act. She said Rex had stolen a bucket of water from her. “Well,” Harvey went on, “we got rid of Rex. Gave him to Tyn daii Harris. And that was the last we heard of Rex till this morning. I ran into Dr. Hedg peth and he' was chuckling. 1 asked what was so funny. And he said Tyndall bad just got a hurry-up call to come home and get that damn crow out of the kitchen. j. “I don’t know where Rex is headed now.” •—rfi—.— About tills' Hie Christmas shopping season ahead With its increased merchan ts stock . . . fire and theft ex posure ... icy sidewalk risk is this an ideal time to have the Foushee-Wilson Agency explain its new Merchantile Policy which packages such broad coverages at a 10% to 20% savings in pre mium? for the answer to this, and all your insurance questions.

So I decided I’d write a few lyrics for a suggested song. And here is my output: “I’m a cornbread lover from the country, And I’ll love my sweetie tiH she dies. Then I’ll place a slab of corn bread on her grave To show I know where she lies.” I didn’t write the melody be cause none is needed.

YOUR RUGS Will Look Better Last Longer with Care By Professional Rug Cleaning “Chapel Hill’s Only Qualified Rug Qpaner” Dial Operator, Ask for Durham WX2OOu, Bernson BILL PROUTY What is the finest of Ameri can holidays? Is it Christmas or Easter, the would you choose crackling, sparkling Fourth of July as your favorite? Or perhaps you look forward more eagerly to the long Labor Day weekend, and take special happiness in being able to stay away from wok on a Monday. Or is your favorite, like mine, Thanksgiving Day? Thanksgiving, first celebrated by the Pilgrims at Plymouth shortly after their first har vest in 1621, set a precedent of sharing the abundance of Am erica with Americans and with other nations. The holiday has grown in scope until our coun try is now truly the greatest material benefactor to humanity in the history of all mankind. This is indeed an accomplish ment for which to be thankful. And at what better time of the year can it be taken note of and celebrated than at Thanksgiving during your youthful days? As the holiday neared a feeling of alacrity was buoyant upon the crisp cool November air, and permeated the rooms and grounds of the schools. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday would soon be ours, all ours in carefree romping play. There would be gorgeous smells coming from Mom’s kitchen—heavenly roasting tur key, piquant cranberry sauce, and usually best of all, savory bread stuffing, leced with crisp celery and onion dices and any number of spices, mixed with spoonful of basting liquids.

Then, of course, it was just natural that we youngsters were thinking, 'along with kids all over the country, that if (his be Thanksgiving already, can Christmas be far away? Now, as adults, how does Thanksgiving stack up for us among our other holidays? For me, and for many others, I suggest. Thanksgiving must still remain at the top of the list. For Thanksgiving is a rest full day, not jumpy, flavored and explosive like the Fourth of July, or long and expensive like Christmas, or as spiritually con centrated as Easter, or as hung over and hectic as Labor Day. For young and old alike Thanksgiving is a day for eat ing, resting and for being Thankful that we are part of a society that is able and eager to share our great abundance with other less fortunate people. All this and Macy's Christ mas Parade on television, too. What more could you ask of a holiday? ON HONOR ROLL Edwin M. Poteat 111, son of Mr. and Mrs. William H.
