C High Brady's BLARNEY By A Brady Called J. P. I? I've finally made the grade as a columnist, not that I particu larly want to be one. For years and years I've pound ed out thousands of words lor a silent audience ? one that some how never found enough meat in my writing to either approve or disapprove of anything I sug gested. This is, of course, a rather daring thing for me to bring up because it's highly probable no one has been reading my columns (and I wouldn't blame 'em, either). ) Anyhow, the complexion of j things changed this week. I got I my first "poison pen" letter. At last, someone has had guts) enough to write <but not enough to sign his, her, or its name) and tell me where to get off. This "poison pen" consisted of some penciled notations on a clip ping of my last week column. "Stupid!" it declared, a large arrow indicating my picture. An asterisked notation said my initials, J. P., stands for "Jackleg Propaganda." Asked a final penned phrase: "Who wants to listen to non sense?" Dear me, how unpopular I have become! However, I'm Inclined to over look this thing and even forgive it, for a couple of reasons. First, because the writer used "listen" In his comment. Guess he's something of an odd-ball who has to have my columns read to him. Secondly, because he mispelled both nonsense and propaganda. Who's stupid? jpb For sheer cleverness, there's a business in Durham (saw its ad way No. 28, at the Little Tennes see River, more particularly de scribed as follows: Being the same lands as de scribed in a deed from Hoyt B.

On a trip down east this week with Mr. Jones, I picked out a nice little motel on the aut skirts of Raleigh. We checked in. Went to bed, dog-tired. But never to sleep. We hadn't rumpled the sheets good when the motel started shak ing. It was then we discovered tfee railroad a scant 10 feet from our back window, and DS Highway 1 some 25 paces out front. With mechanized mayhem aa a bedfellow, the boss 'somewhat chagrined) and I turned and toss ed as streamliners and freights shook us at five-minute intervals and half the trucking fleet of the state double-shifted outside. At 3:30 a. m? I attempted to add a little jovialty to the situa tion. "You want to open the door for the next freight?" I asked in the darkness. He still hasn't answered ? or spoken. Nonetheless, this situation did serve a useful purpose. It answered an earlier question (when we were on speaking terms) : "Wonder why motels col lect money in advance?" jpb "Did you ever win an argument with your wife?" "Once, but it was years ago." "What was the argument about?" "Well. I don't recall offhand, \ but I do remember very clearly that we were putting down a new rug and her mouth was full of carpet tacks." ; BULLDOZING And Grading Work Of All Kinds Iotla Mining Company Phones: Day? 32 or 34M-I Night ? 216-J "I got no axe to grind / S 1 1 McCULLOCH Model 47 CHAM SAW Tklt light-waight, gasoline pow?red, al-purpoM woodcutter dots every ranch and farm "no Jek" tester and easier.
