K I(dh‘ Loomis, R e hmond County Journal) Wednesday I went to Greens boro to take my two older girls to the circus. N.of com e they both want ed t i go, hot for some reason or other, if seemed to me that they should have wanted to go much more than they seemed to. I guess I should have just let the news chop e; -ually that there would be a big circus in Greensboro and let them take it from there. 1 should have appeared lukewarm about the v. hole idea and hard to get. Then they would have begged and pleaded and begged some moie. And they would begged so piteously and would have been s i doggoned persistant that finally 1 would give in. Then they would diagged me off to the circus in a triumphant mood.' We didn’t do it that way, though. We just did it straight. I was so delighted to find out that Ririgling Bros. Barnum and Bailey would be in my ol(f home town I jumped for joy and asked if the big girls wanted to go. "Sure.” they said. "Will 1 have io miss school?” the \r ll ROUND-UP I Only four persons were rounded up mil temporarily detained in the county jail la*l week-end. officers declar ing that crime was about fro zen up.

ANOTHER REASON (Winston-Salem Journal) The fellow who rats a large meal "is gorging himself in order to have a sense of security and power," according to David Rice, psychologist.
