Golden, played by Kuffin Wilkins,
get into more mischief' and out ??
more mischief than is pood for even
healthy boys and girls. And ~ 'very
one of their pranks carries a laugh
. ?a?- the audience. *
^^probably the funniest character;
in the plot is that Ned, the old j
darkey, who is made the butt of the j
jokes of Topsv Tuny and Frank.
This part is played j\v Ezra Amos,
and he is a scream.
Any who attend tlv. play may be j
sure of an unusually- .rood night'* r
entertainment. . j
The cast is as r.viiows:
Miss Topsy Turvy Annie Yor.jue j

Mh Wessin .er .'fllosman- High
School. brought . '. f e:im in from
Ro.<maii last w.' - Jn -fvr a . pia.etire
game of basket^ll w th our class;
teams. Both team- ?\pect .'to derive
benefit' from ihe gajneil.' .
Originally the game. was sched
uled for our JuniV'f ("lass toani. but
Mr. Dekie decided hy would try out
all the class tOavu- he I<-l each
class team play or'if quarter of the
game. The Frfeshjji'ert played, the
filSt ifujirter. fhe Sophomores ' the.
second quarter, the Junior the
third quarter, an ! ;io SeMiorsC- the
last quarter.
Forty-two men . played in all for
us. counting subsfitutes. no man
playing . over tive r\ir.utes. and. Mr..,
. I>ekle was able t>>;Y.)arge .extent, to '
tell what men h?. -\ -11 pick for his
\lass teams. ~ . >1
The Rosman girts', team showed1
up better .than the Hoys' team; v as;
they ha?l comparatively, better pass- j
ing and snooting. The boys were j
weakest in shooDfig goals. Time 1
after time they would work the
ball drwn under rh*- goal, .where it
is a basketball crime to miss, and!
? * ... I
then fail to shoot the goal. How
ever, they have good material, and
with a little coaching may turn out
a dangerous team.
l?ater on it is expected chat they
will schedule at least one game with
our 'varsity team. Brevard is not
scheduling any games until after
Christmas. One game was sched
uled, with Hendersonvdle, for the
seventeenth, but hat! to be called off
because we have not yet practiced
enough to round out a good team.
Mr, Dekle has a_sked three mem
Jvcrs of the faculty. Mr. Ponder, Mr.
GUizetter. and Mr. Nails, [to help
him in coaching the boys' class
teams. Mr. Glazt-ner is to coach the
Fre-nmen; Mr. Ponder has the Soph
omores: Mr. Nails will help the
Juniors, aii^l . Mr. Dekle will person
: H;. , .'k- ' hanre ?>f the Seniors. Of
course h? will watch the other three
class i/ams also, and give them sug
?St"5t and instructions from time.

L I\' I \'( ; WITH T. B. WITHOUT
DANGER
j
There are a few simple precau- j
?'?ions and sanitary rules that persons j
.living with a tuberculous patient
and the patient himself may follow
thai will make a T. B. of no more
danger than, a well person. When
T. B, and those who care for him
f<>Uow these . rules au uotvasoanble
fear. of the person suffering with '
tuberculosis is foolish.
Ir.fection by the tubercle bacillu- 1
??oii:e>* almost exclusively from the j
sputum of the tuberculous) patient.
So the safe . disposal of the sputum
of the patient is one of the most
important precautions. Never spit
j e\'cept in a sputum cup which can
I be burned when used, and see that j
it Is. burned. Covering the mouth
with, a rag. piece of gauze or a paper
when the patient coughs or'
vf.eei.es is the next big rule. Don't I
use the bare hand. The fine spray
in which the germs live will be
spread all over it. If sputum is ac
cidentally spilled cover it with disin
fectant, let stand for a while, wipe
up with a rag and burn the rag.
In disiufect ing the room of a T.
B. formaldehyde candles may be
used. Every article in the roon.
hung in the sunshine for. throe day.
is fully as good. Disinfect or bid: ?
for live minutes all dishes or drink
ing vessels the patient uses, unless
the patient uses separate dishes and
drinking vessels. Surplus food
should be boiled or burned. Boil the
patient's clothes and bed linen five
minutes or soak for two hours in a
disinfectant before sending to the
laundry. Strew the floor in the
patient's room with sawdust or bits
of w t paper before sweeping,;
Don't kiss the patient if he cough
and never kiss any one on the lips
even if they do not cough. Never
allow the tuberculous patient to
sleep with any one. Every time
another person waits on the patient
the hands must be washed in so;:;.
and water.
Children are much more ea i'..
infect?d than adults. Keep them .
away from the person and the ivora
of the T. B. as long as the patient
coughs or spits. Never let the pati
ent kiss or fondle them or allow t.'iesu
to handle o reat- food or any? hint:
the patient has had hands <?').
THE DECORATIVE GRAPE
HAS HIGH FOOD VALUE

A fruit which sells for its beauty
arid- decorative effect, is the grape
in its red, white, gold. greeti and
purple tones. While the apple.'
peach. -pear and oiantre each Hatv
beauty, there is a triace ami del cy
of bloom and coloring in a weli-fi -d
bunch 'of . grapes that other fruits no
not possess. A bunch of grapes

The grape is also a wonderful
little storehouse of valuable food
elements. Raisins are famott.- fur-;
their iron, but this element is much
more palatable and present in as
great quantity in the grtipe. Grape
sugar, which is one of the chief
factors in the fine flavor of grapes,
is_ the most readily digested of all
forms of sugar. While in the United
State grapes are usually considered
as a dessert fruit, in the Latin coun
tries. pratieularly Italy, they are a
sustaining food for a large propor
tion of Ihi* population. Bread and
grapes form the noonday meal of
thousands of peasants who w,ork 11
hours a day with no other food dur
ing their working period. Grapes
are valuable in giving energy and
building up bodily strength and
health.
With the fine variety of grapes
from which the housewife may select
the use of this fruit in salads, des
serts. and as a breakfast fruit is
constantly increasing.

NO LIBERTV without law j
.. . ?
On this, the 1 .'?8th Anniversary of J
the framing and signing of the I
Constitution of the United States,!
we art; called on to take note of thei
document that gave this nation a new i
tilth and placed in the rocords those
ideals and aspirations which have 1
n:a?lt us great.
The Constitution crystallized into
basic law a government by the:
i>e?n?Je and established a republic
with a guarantee of equality before j
The law. We deem it important,
therefore, to read in its pages no;
ottlyj the prrvileges but the obliga
tions citizenship as well.
T?i many thinking people a period
has arisen that is putting our Con
stitution through a severe test. They
contend that human forces are at
work undermining American ideals.
They, hold before us such, agencies
of despair as lawlessness, radicalism,
po':th|al favoritism, dais's hatred, il
legal trafficing, jury-fixing, loose
application of pardoning power, ali
of which have become a menace to
constitutional foundations.
Wo have fallen on days where
there is a laxity in respect for law
an-i ordi r, a defiance of the sanctity
V.f in-f-'oi) and property. Since ai.
f- iiis of human behavior are more
or less contagious it is important
that we consider the condition and
the remedy.
In. the penat institutions of the
I lited States there are today 200
OflO persons convicted of crime.
This does not tell the whole story
when we consider those who go un
punished or undetected. Recent
figures show the cost of this crime
to be about 8 and one fourth per
cent of the nation's income, a startl
ing sum to expend on a destructive
force. Unfortunately this does not
represent the total outlay. . It is but
necessary by law of illustration to
note the cost of burglary insurance
and contrast the rate with some other
hazard such as fire. On the other
hand, education, our greatest con
structive force, costs an amount
approximating one and one half per
cent of our income. This comparative
cost is the more significant when w<
consider that we have in our gra<k*
and secondary schools alone 12f?
times as many American youth a
there are inmates of our penal in
stitutions.
There is reason to feel that when
this conflict clears the vision of the
Constitution's founders will be vin
dicated that this will be proved a
fraternal nation. We have agencies
of hope that lead us to this comiu
sion: There are such institutions as
the social welfare and service organ
izations; the press and radio; the
church, the home, and the schools.
Educators are already at the task.
They sensed the situation and to>
some time in conference groups vh
subject of character development -and
citizenship training has received their
attention. It is' a program not of
talk but of action. Already many
have translated their thinking into
courses of rtudy for definite instruc
tion. Others are following.
Education is the greatest single
foe of crime. Tho iiias? of Ike
vicious, destructive and criminal ar
from le .; educated levels. The
exceptions are so few as to be con- i
spicui iis. Education is the inspira
tion of reason and reason inspirc:
resper; for order.
Th'-re can be no liberty within
law. It* we are to become more of,
p. law-abiding nation we will first,
reognhe the necessity of having
<>ur ^educational institutions organ-'
ized ; - training camps for citizenship
and second, make provision that ou>* ,
y<>ur;g people conic under the i. .
; influence:
I. is :t .jefense program of no I
rAean proportions and worthy the
aggressive support of our better
citizenry.
WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED
i AGAINST EYE GLASS PEDDLERS
' Durham. Dec. D. ? War has been j
| declared by the North Carolina State1
OptOmetrical Society ajrainst the it- i
j inerant eye glass peddler and every
J
man discovered in the state en;rage?l
in a house to hour,e sale of eye glas
ses will be vigorously prosecuted, ac
cording to Dr. N. Rosenstein, pre
sident of the society of this city.
Under the laws of the state the
sale of eye glasses fr? m house to
house is prohibited and the use of
charts and mea urcs for te ting eyes
while engaged in this bush "r?. is
banned. The law was enacted by
the stale legislature at I he- request
of t lie State optometrists who sIjowt
ed that the business of the -* ? *htm r
should not be allowed becau- * o* the
great harm that would be d^nc -o^t-ie
eyes of the pteople who fell ihcir
victims. Only scientific examina- ?
tion of eyes can proper glasses be lit
ted, Dr. Rosenstein stated, by way of
showing that the method adopted by
the itinerant eye glass peddlers is
positively injurious, the method used
he stated, is to carry sample glasses
for trial by the prospective custo
mer. Kach pair of glasses has a dif
ferent lense, increasing t he magnify
ing power, so that the customer
mitlu !>e enabled to rend the print
on a chart carried around for test
purposes.
Advertisements appearing in P1"'"*
iodicjds published in various sections
of the country are offering "good
fields'* for agents in the sale of mail
order glasses. Every agent secured
is equipped with a ca J- containing
10 testing spectacles marke d .accord
ing to strength, three .sample
frames f?oci which the cus'orte;
makes u selection, a test card with
different type sizes, two :pc*<ta<!e
