gv This surpt.’ t athusia.-e m
ually manifests itself in the lorni
of a let's-do-something complex
which, when transformed into ac -
tion. keeps the entire community
in a perpetual state ot upheaval
until well after the Christmas
holidays.
This upheaval takes mans'
forms—civic club meetings, board
of directors meetings, orgam/.a
tinnal gatherings for dozens ol
drives, campaigns and the like,
and any number til other attrac
tions which pop up tn fill the gaps
between tin regularly scheduled
affairs.
Everyone in the community isj
affected in some small way by this i
seasonal excitement. The eitizenl
is rare indeed who is not eaptur-1

and assigned the task of collect

MYSTERY SOLVFD
(Courier-Tribune. Asheooro)
I didn’t know why Fred Patter
son of Asheboro w as so short and
stout and why he complained with
his legs, but now I know Down
at the Patterson reunion last Sun
day it was ogsy to se< why a man
who can eat so much would!
weight himself down so that he
would not grow tall, also the mat
ter of carrying so much weight
would he hard on his legs.
RAISIN' WILL Ol'T
(Beatrice Cobb, Morganton News
Herald)
Must of us have heard about the
small boy who, following his first
church service, said he guessed it
was all right but the commercial
was too long. From a bulletin is
sued h\ the Southern Newspaper
Publisher Association comes the
story of the five year-old daugh
ter ol an advertising director and
hi r Initial Sunday school class.
She returned home waving a little
raid on which tinted angelic li
gures floated in and out of clouds
above the words of a brief pray
er.
Look, mother!” she cried,
'They gave me an ad for the an
gels!"
TORCH CARRIER
(Floyd Ellington.
Burlington Times)
Police stopped one fellow from
■ariying a torch over the woek
■nd hero and there was nothing
i umantic about it
Officers Eugene Euliss and E.
W Vaughn picked up an inebrint I
■d gentleman one night as lie j
daggered along carrying a flam
beau, one ol those round black oil I
pots used as warning lights |
Hound street obstructions.
When they asked why he had !
lifted the flambeau from a near-'
by street excavation, the tipsy!
oul replied that he needed a light
at home.
The grinning officers escorted
him to jail, where they hoped he
would see the light by next day.
IT HAPPENED IN ROWAN
(Mack McKa. Salisbury Post)
And whitest rehashing colorful
old yarns, there's the true story'
about a Baptist Church in old Ro
wan getting a new Baptistry not
loo many years ago, all fitted up
with thermostats and other mod
ern gadgets . And the preacher
turned the valve wheels at the
“Si-Logical” moment, and so
miiny minutes later prepared to
baptise a lew ex-sinners and
others who had overlook same.

According to our informant the
preacher stuck his big toe into the
water, and the skin promptly
peeled off his big .toe. ... So he
gave the song leader the high
sign, and the song leader kept the
folks singing tins and that sacred
song from the front cover of the,
song book to the back Until
at last near midnight one of the
members, one of the Rogers boys
(not Will) suggested singing,
•Shall We Gather At The River”
. . And that broke things up. and
the meeting was adjourned to an
other date.
THINGS REMEMBERED
(Tarboro Southerner)
While driving by the town com
mon yesterday afternoon we saw
a small boy pause briefly before
the Confederate monument. Hi
tossed a hurried salute to the old
statute of the soldier atop the
shaft before he continued his
slow walk homeward.
We wondered how many othei
small boys have duplicated the
salute in years past, and then we
began wondering about other
things.
Do people .-■'til] havi a series oi !
small shivers run up and down i
the it settles when to; v h< ar the l
St at Spangled Banner? How j t
many people ean say, without
prompting, the Pledge of Allegi
ance to the Flag? I
How many people still feel like •
standing straight and putting up i
a tut when the flag passes in a 1
parade?
How mans people still feel like
standing straight when we rente I
those lines “Here s to the land of
the long leaf pine ? >

WATCH YOCR BROWN PANTS I
(Stanley News & Press)
It may be reealled that two or
three years ago’ mention was made |
in this column of a request by ;
Mrs. Jim Peek, efficient secretary
for the home and county agents, i
for a pair of brown pants to cut I
into sln eds and,use in lu i hooked ; 1
rug, which she was making ati the :
time.
Hug making must he quite a i
fad with workers in the offices
mentioned above Miss Peggy •
Burris, the spr\ little assistant ',
home agent, inquired if i had a i
pan of lirown pants she could get 1
ur use in rug making. I was sur
»r -d especially since she had no
nf.irmation about the former re
:UCSt
It seems that she was about to
,et desperate for a bit of brown
or use in the rug, so much so that
he was "tempted to nab the first
nan she saw on the street wear
rig a pair of brow n pants.
<)< TOBKK’S SI N
(Sanford Herald)
This would be a good day to be
n the woods, the old man said, a
cal good day to be in the woods,
le moved his chair out of the
hade and into the sun again.
Knew where there was a scup
rernnng vine, the old man said,
urd ho ought to be going into the
voods to see about it. Those
u apes were sweet as sugar; gr eat,
rig, fat grapes, rusty and juicy,
dado a right fair' wine, too, yes
,er; a right fair wine.
A parr of bluejays landed on
he clothesline. The old man
jointed his cane at them, holding
he crook against his shoulder and
lighting down the straight part.
Wanted to cheek on a big wal
lut tree in a grown-over field,
some walhuts this year, came in |
mighty handy when the women
folks got around to making fruit
cakes. And he wanted to see if
that big scaly-mark hickory tree
was still alive while he had it on
his mind. Never saw better hick
orvrtuN *han came off that tree. !
You wouldn't believe i* now. but
you could crack those hickoryuuts
between your two hands like pe
cans.
The old man moved his cha’r
back again. Seemed like the sun
was in a powerful h' try to get
across the sky, he said.
Knew where there was a locust
tree, too, the old man said. It was
by the branch that went through
the pasture, near the hole where
he caught 26 bream in less than
an hour that day—when was it
now? Six, seven years ago, he
reckoned. Twenty? No. no. that
couldn't have been 20 years ago.
Why. Torn was with him, and Tom
! was a right big boy then . . . well.
| maybe it was; it didn't matter.
What was he saying at first?
I Oh. yes, the old man remember-,
led, this would be a good day to be
in the woods. He reckoned that
seuppei non vine was a hundred
j years old. judging from the size
! of its trunk. There were some
James grapes out there, too; big.
j black-looking grapes; some peo
ple called them fox grapes, but
what he called a fox grape was a
little biddy grape on a vine that
went up to the top of the tree.
Oh, Sunday was a good day to
be out in the woods, all right.
| Good day to sit in the sun and
dream, too.
