I was at the extreme south end of the regiment and the wind was blowing North. I heard nothing, I saw little, I was at attention and could not speak. All this build up I would not give you if you wouldn't be personally interested in the rest of my story. For four of the comparatively small groups of soldiers honored with the personal citation presented by the Regimental Commander, Colonel Manning, are our own Haywood county boys, for which I am sure you are proud. In H company had three of the four, M company the fourth. Sergeant Edward Hill, or should I say "Ed," for that's the way you know him; Corporal Grey C. Winchester, and Sergeant Thad 0. Chafin, Jr., and Corporal Joe Sloan were the four boys so hon ored. The wording of the citation was brief and precise as are all such military documents, very dry to the reading, but very full when you project your imagination into the scene. For meritorious service in the training of selectees last year; selectees who are now well trained soldiers, on duty both here and in Other places throughout the world. Representatives of our army who speak well for the training given by the Training Cadre as this group of non-commissioned officer trainers, as they are called. And speaking for the recruits, for I got my training at the Dust Bowl under this group don't hold it against them, too much, however we are grateful for the training they gave us, for the patience, un tiring effort, and leal which they put into their work. Not all of the Training Cadre was cited, and I don't want to leave that impres sion; it was the best of the group as selected by their officers who were so honored. .

He spoke on the importance of the "Food for Free dom Program" and told the mem bers what they could do to pro mote theV work in their community. A sketch entitled "The Saucy Onion," was presented with the following taking part: Margaret Cogburn, Geneva Massie, Virginia Knight, and Betty Postom. After the joint meeting of the boys and girls the group divided and Miss Mary Margaret Smith discussed with the girls their va rious projects and Mr. Clapp met with the boys, thrashing out their problems. Howard Clapp, county agent, was the principal speaker at the meeting of the Cruso 4-H clubl night. There was plenty of cider, Lots of people do harm, at times when they don't really intend to, and don't even know that they have hurt or worried somebody; and, at other times, they give a lot of pleasure to somebody, without in tending to, or even knowing about it; , It really looks like Mrs. Man was fixing to do something nice for the Creek Folks, but it is a fact that she hadn't planned to do It Anyway, on that Saturday after noon when Uncle Joe's cider was going to be just right, she cooked two of the most fluffy and brown ginger cakes that anybody ever did cook. When Mr. Man saw them come out of the oven, he told his wife that the only thing he knew that was prettier than those cakes was the cook. And then she kissed him right on the bald spot on the top of his head. But that's some thing lee. We were talking about those eirnrer cakes, Of course the Creek Folks knew all about the cakes, and they knew that the cider they had stowed away in the smokehouse was go ing to be the best for traveling with ginger cakes on Saturday thing about how the cake was going to get to the Big Tree, but he certainly must have told some of his other helpers all about his plans, for nothing ever worked any smoother. So Jay Bird had to sit around for ever so long before he had any idea of what was going to happen, but what he saw was worth waiting for. The big cake was pretty heavy, besides being too big to carry very well in one's hands, and so Mr. Man was going to take it over in his wagon, and would bring the jug of cider back. The jug, too, would certainly need the wagon. And he was to start just a little while before sunset, so the cake would be nice and warm for Uncle's Joe's supper.

Mar. 26 it was plenty easy for Jocko to reach in the wagon and take out a beautifully brown and fluffy ginger cake that was all wrapped in a cloth to keep it warm and nestle it down in his basket. "Sorry you can't be at supper with us, Hee-Haw," Jocko Baid as he darted off into the woods. 'So am I, but I am faring mighty well here. Tell Blackie howdy for me," Hee-Haw said. Mr. Man got to the house in a hurry, and he got hir. gun and look ed and looked, but he couldn't find anybody that it was an owl, and so he shut tii Jill Mr. Man did START off on time, "P lne cnicxcn nouse, ano toiu mrs. just as he had planned; but he t .. ? v wasn t more than a few hundred plans yards from the house, and had just turned from the big road into the path that wont to Uncle Joe's house, when he heard that terrible squall of an owl that Mrs. Man had heard the day before, and that she had been trying to describe to him, and it was closely followed by just as loud a squall from Mrs. Man. Mr, Man let out another squall, "I'm coming," and stopped Hee-Haw, and he jumped from the wagon and ran toward the house. Of course it isn't a lot of trouble to get things off of a wagon that you find standing in the woods, with nobody about it except a donkey things, for that is the reason Black- that is hitched to it, and couldn't fcuew ou weu now w snape ins Kick you if he wanted to; and so series by fifth and sixth grades; "The Childrens Carnival" by fifth grade; "Making of the U.SA.

When he got back to the wagon, he felt like squalling as loud as Mrs. Man had. The cake was gone! And Hee-Haw began braying no, he was LAUGHING oh, HOW he was laughing! "That terrible owl, or whatever the program to be announced later it was that made that noise came and got the cake while I was at the house," Mr. Man told his wife, as he went back to the house. "Give me half of the other one, and I'll take it over to Aunt Judy. We can't disappoint her, and, besides, we want the cider." Mrs. Man Cut off half of the cake, but she didn't give it to Mr. Man. She got in the wagon and went with him. (To be Continued) Mary Reece is valedictorian and Sue Cathey, salutorian of the class.
