JUST GROWN UP
(Zebulon Record)
My daughter remarked last
week that she imagines taking on
extra help for the holiday season
must be hard on both employers
and employees. She mentioned
having ordered for Thanksgiving
a ten-pound turkey. The one that
was delivered weighed more titan
twelve pounds. When she asked
about it at the market she was
told "AH our ten-pound turkeys
weighed twelve pounds this ■
\ ear."
NEW INTERPRETATION
(The Spotlight)
For a new approach, a different
angle, ot a novel interpretation,
leave it to the children. There’s
never a dull moment.
During a Christmas season a
second grade teacher was discuss
ing with her youngsters the songs
• p '.ms they wanted to sing
and read. A little boy wanted
tn sing "Jingle Bells." A little
girl wanted to hear the poem,
"The Night Before Christmas."
Another little girl requested the
pi i 1 "about the little girl that
. omited the ribbon."
The teaehei was slumped, so
she went ahead filling the other
requests.
While she was reacting "The
Nieht Before Christinas,’’ she
came to this part:
"Away to the window 1 flew like,
a flash,
Tore open the shutter and threw
up the sash."
The little girl jumped from her
seal and said, "Tha-iv. lb. one 5
meant she threw up her sash."

ANY BETTER
(EcKMoss. Morgariton News
Herald)
Somebody came up the other
day to top the story about the
minnow that grabbed the 12
pound bass bv the throat instead
of getting the bass via the attach
ed hook. Seems a guy has a min
now trained to get fish for him.
He puts the minnow in miniature
harness and lets the minnow
overboard on the end of a line.
The minnow looks ground until
he spots a nice, big bass, and
swims swiftly into the bass’
mouth. Instead of taking the eon
volitional route down the gullet!
of thf bass, the minnow darts unt
through tin* big fish's gill and
then ties the line jn a knot. When
the bass is securely snubbed to
the line, the minnow signals with
a few jerks and the fisherman
hauls in the fish. Know a better
one?

HOW IT STARTED
(Wirtston-Salem Journal)
You have noticed that editors
in writing refer to themselves as
"we." I do not know where the
custom started but I well remem
ber the first time 1 noticed it. I
was a printer's devil on Thc^ress
& Carolinian in Hickory, N. C„
back in the 1890's. Our editor
was a fighting Kentucky colonel.
One day he wrote something
about a local politician that made
tlie man furious. He came in to
lick the editor. I Was sweeping
out. After a few hot words they
mixed. They overturned every
thing in the office which made
more work for me. The editor
finally got the politician's thumb
in his mouth and bit it off. They
were both out ot breath. The edi
tor spit the thumb out on the
floor and veiled to me- "Boy, go
get'Jim, the lightin’ editor.” Jim
was a big double-jointed printer
from Kentucky also. He always
carried a six-shooter in his holst
ei 1 ran back into the shop and
told Jim. When Jim got to the
Iront the politician was lickoty
upliftin’ it down the street
After that I notice that the edi
tor always referred to the editor
as "we." Perhaps to inform the
public that if anyone wanted to
fight the editor there would be
several of them.
So far as I know that is where
the custom started.

There, in short, is beauty with a duty—to give
the finest front-end protection yet devised.
Hut that, friends, is only the beginning.
Proudly wearing this “push-bar” forefront,
jou find a stellar line up of Sf'liCIALS,
Sitfks and Ko.utM A.STKKS which set new
standards of all-round satisfaction.
New “white-glow” instrument markings
give greater clarity at night. New glare-and

New power gives the SPECIAL record thrift

Yes, there’s plenty new to thrill you in these
