Dream Comes True For Otto Sixth Graders On Excursion Miss May McCoy's sixth grad ers at Otto School this school year have sponsored .cake walks and Bingo parties? and for a reason. They wanted to take an edu cational trip to Atlanta, Ga., that takes money. April 11, their dream came true. Here's the story as the sixth grade wrote It: "Saturday, April 11, was a day long to be remembered by the sixth grade pupils of Otto School, two grade mothers, Mrs. Pascal Cabe and Mrs. Gladys Gibson, and our teacher, Miss May McCoy. "On that morning we board ed a nice school bus, which we bad hired from Georgia, and happily rolled away from Otto for The Greatest City of the Southland. "The idea for this trip came about early in the school term from the story In our sixth grade spelling book. The story was, 'We Go On An Excursion'. 80 as the months slipped away, we planned for It. We elected three grade mothers whb faith fully helped us raise the money through cake walks and other activities. Some was gotten by special donation. "Here are a few highlights of our trip: We were met at the bus terminal by Orion McCoy, brother of our teacher, who - LIZARDS Buy 20,000 Weekly MAKE MONEY ALL YEAR WE PAY HIGHEST PRICES XXXX LARGE LIZARDS, Each 19c XXX LARGE ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? * Sc XX LARGE 6c X LARGE 5c LARGE 4c MEDIUM 3c No Lizards Less Than 4 Inches RED LIZARDS X LARGE 10c LARGE 8c MEDIUM 5c SMALL 3c Rusty cans kill lizards.

From the bus station we went to Rich's Department Store, the largest and nicest possibly In this city. Through the public relations committee of the store, Mr. McCoy had already made plans for our tour of each de partment. This we thoroughly enjoyed. The second big treat was out In Orant Park. The most amazing thing to us was the world famous painting of 'The Battle of Atlanta', one of the fiercest battles of the War Between the States, which is housed in the great historical Cyclorama Building. The third big treat was what we witnessed at the Municipal Airport. Here we saw two large four-motor planes load and take off to Chicago, Dallas, and Washing ton. "These are only a few of the many things we learned about and saw. "We are very grateful to E. G. Crawford (school principal), the parents, and to the other teach ers who helped to make possible such a fine experience. We are hoping to go again next year." Ellijay Mr. and Mrs. T. B.

Office 799 On the Square Residence 668 Franklin, N. C. DR. GEO. R. McSWEEN CHIROPRACTOR Hours: 9-5 Other Honrs Wed.: 9-12 by Appointment It's only fair to warn you. When you try a new Buick with the sensa tional Twin-Turbine Dynaflow Drive," you'll tingle all over with thrill. You'll sweep your speedometer needle from zero to 30 mph so quickly, you won't have time to breathe but twice. You'll move from a standing start to legal speed so quietly, you'll practically hear your heart beat. You'll experience such complete and utter smooth ness every step of the way, you'll be wholly relaxed, refreshed, and ready for more. This is not dream stuff. This is real. This is what actually happens when you're at the wheel of a new 1953 Buick with TT Dynaflow. Twin Turbines in the Dynaflow unit, instead of just a single one? in addition to other engi neering advances ? make the tremendous difference. So you feel a firmer and more immediate "take hold" ? get far faster getaway, new quiet and efficicncy, plus infinite smoothness to and through every speed range. There's a lot more to be had, of course, in these great new Buicks. Higher horsepowers and compression ratios. A still finer ride. Fasicr handling. Improved visibility. More comfort and richer interiors. But start with take-off ? the greatest in Buick's fifty great years? and learn the rest of the story from there.
