'Treating Ernest SUvicki '
Death from ntflrvstinn fareA D.vMr.nM TTVnr
SUvicki of Minneapolis when he mistakenly swal
lowed sulphuric acid, thinking it was soda pop, but
a delicate operation saved his life. The acid seared
his throat passage, closing it up so that he was
unable to eat. Surgeons then made an opening
through Ernest's stomach, through which they fed
him, and then laboriously worked a string up
through the stomach and out of his mouth. Each
day a larger rubber tube was attached to the string
and gently pulled from the stomach through his
mouth, enlarging the throat passage. ,

This week we would like to extend
congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kob
ert Q. McCracken .... it's a very
remarkable thing to celebrate one's
sixtieth wedding anniversary ... as
they will do on Sunday ... and its
such a neighborly thing . . . not to
send out formal invitations ... on
such an auspicious occasion . . . they
are inviting the people of the county
to call on Sunday afternoon and join
them in celebration of the great event.
1 hope to meet you there. . . .
A recent article in The Kotarian
magazine' arrested the writer's at
tention . . . on "Creat People who
have never lived" . . . the" opening
paragraph "Scattered over the
world are monuments to men and
women who never lived. . .They
are monuments immortalizing a
gallant host of heroes and hero
ines the mythical people of myth
ical worlds whose oTnits are the
covers, of books; our fiction folk''
. . . as 1 read 1 begun to realize
how many of our ideal .that we
live by and teach ouf 'children
are merely the stories of knights
and ladies of legend and lietmn. . .
Who is more real taan Santa'
Claus? . . . . Peter f;.:i ... tlie
friend of all .children . ... Tom
Sawyer'.' .'. Huckleberry Finn will
live as long, as the world la Id .
Don Quixote.. . William Tell
and characters such" as the Circuit
Rider . . . the Pioneer mother . - .
who represent heroic .-qualities of
their times . . . that will endure
throughout the ages . . . and on
and on the list could 'be complul..
During the last month LeKoy Davis
has almost haunted this office . . . (just
between us he and the editor hold
long conferences on the duties of new
futhers) . . . recently 1 heard a wo
man say that she wouldn't be rich
for worlds . . . for she felt tnat it
she could have every wish gratified . .
there would be nothing left to want . .
and she would be denied one of the
greatest joys in life-.'. . that of an
ticipation ... of course she was right
. . . and there are times in the year , ".
that 1 would agree with her . . . in my
personal 'sentiments . . . but in the
shadows of Christmas ... 1 could not
. . . for it is the season when 1 find
myself wanting to be a fairy god
mother ... if you kept an open heart
. . . you can't walk the length of
Main street without meeting countless
opportunities . . . there goes a child
w.io needs a mw coat ... hers is
thread bare . . . wouldn't you like to
' give 'that frail old lady a surprise on
Christmas morning ... it might be
a ton of eoal she needs more than any
thing else. .. . . and yet 'most of us
have t'i stift'le these generous impulses
. . . just because a few dollars have
verv definite limitations.

Among the many -affairs given foi
Pat Holdcrness, of Taiboro, whose
marriage to Lee Davis was a h.gh
light in Eastern Carolina s'ocii ty . .
last month . . . Was a large di.nce th
night before the wedding . . . the
bride's father, Mr. Ceoige Holder
ness, is very strong in his disapproval
of stimulating beverages . . . in fact
he was quite positive about what the
hosts, his sons and other daughter
were to serve to drink : . . he would
not even have fruit punch . . V o!
course anyone knows it is a danger
ous thing to serve . . . for regardless
of how innocent it msy start the
evening . . . it has a 'mysterious way
of getting added to until . , toward
midnight ... its kick is quite pro
nounced . ." , now Mr. Holderness be
ing wise' about such things . , . would
have no punch . . Y at either end ol
the large ballroom were long tables
laden with everybody's choice of a
sandwich . .and horsd' oeuvres of every
description . . . and from one was
served tomato juice ... and from the
other iced sweet milk . . . and ac
cording to newspaper accounts ... .the
way the vounger generation lapped
up the milk one might have thought
they had not tasted . it since their
infancy. . .
Not long ago a woman .n town
who makes; much of Christmas
and opens her heart . . , at tnis
season by remembering a lot of
people , . said to me , .. , "I don t
see why the merchants in .town
wait so long to display their
Christmas gifts ... like .to buy
everything at home that I can .
and "incidehtly to shop early . . .
but I simmv. can't wait until tne
last week before Christmas to
hop . . . and 1 would have to . ...
if 1 bought all my things at home
, now I believe from all the
signs .-. . that if the lady hasn't
finished her shopping this'.vear . .
she might be able to do it all
right here at home . . , this week
for every store and shop in
town has ah air of festivity . . .
