'ALOOKIN'UP By: A. M. DAVIS I have been trying to get some of our local citizens to write this column but most of them shy away '.from it when approached on the subject. I want all the people in this community to feel this is their column and if they know of some thing that would be interesting ;to the people of the community to feel free to express themselves at any time. I know that there are many things you know about that should be recognized but with the other duties I have it is rather hard for me to think about them and plan something of interest each week. The following free verse was con tributed by one of our readers this week and I think it is good. It ex presses well what I have observed since becoming a citizen of your Expert Radio and Teevision Repairs Do all your radios sound clear and strong? The auto radio? The portable? The console? The table model? The new TV set? We're equipped to service them all . . . reasonably and expertly! We use Sylvania Radio and Television Tubes TELEVISION SERVICE I $ THORNTON'S RADIO SERVICE FAISON, N. C. community. "Where Is this place which I now eulogize? Who are its people and what is its size? Is It a city or a very small town? How did it manage to earn its re nown? About some of the questions, I'll let you surmise But the name of the town, doubt less, will be no surprise -It's Faison. Traditions are honored, ancestors respected, Their names and their exploits are known. Their houses are lived in, their graves are wept over, Their treasures and pictures are shown. It radiates culture, beauty and charms From the very center of it out to its farms. Its streets are so "liveable", its mansions so spacious And all its inhabitants are kind and so gracious - Its trees and its gardens speak loud of the past It seemed like an Eden in which my lot was cast. Here at last, I thought, I've found my retreat, I'll select a good book and just take a seat. Now I have found it, I'll just sit me down To ponder and enjoy to the full this sweet town. Long have I sought, now ended 's the quest Where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest. "Ha. Ha, do my ears deceive me or do I hear you laugh, Lady. I hate to tell you, but that is only half. The wicked cease to trouble, but the righteous are not so, From cock's crow till dark at night they're always on the go. 'Tis themselves they punish, their! consciences are their guides, Their enthusiasm unbounded, their sympathies are wide, Their hearts are founts of pity, their souls are full of zeal. Their strength and their minds are offered up for the common weal. Yes. 'tis themselves they chastize, with projects so intent. But till they fall by the wayside every thought is bent. True their nerves are tense and purses a little flat, But who would want to worry over a little thing like that. It won't be long now till the truck season is finished; Then is the time we get our wealth replenished . "Church work, club work, music, poetry and art, And each one, wise or stupid, is asked to take a part. So here they are, each one faith ful at his post 'Tis hard to say at random, which one can do the most. Two Bessies, Llla, Heyward, Lena, Nell and Nyda, - Helen, Margaret, Annie, Mamie stands beside her. Names that I won't mention, Cora, A SHORT STORY The Only Kind Of 'Glamour' That Mailers - vlmagine- Raxing Driving a caf without a license is like operating a business without a license -strictly illegal. To get a license to drive you must show that you know the safety rules oi the road . . and mut have a satisfactory driving record free from arrests for serious traffic violations. And, by the same token, to obtain a license in the beer industry a retailer must meet a number of strict qualifications. He must be financially responsible. He must not only have a "clean" record lor obeying the law "but must Jteep his record clean. If ba does not maintain a clean, orderly establishment, ox if he allows unruliness or sells to minors, he is violating the law.; And his license is revoked accordingly. ft Working with other police officers, the Malt Bev erage Division of the North Carolina ABC Board care fully checks all retail beer outlets for any violation of the law. The beer industry is in hearty accord with this enforcement program . . which helps the industry keep iti best foot forward at all timet in your community. North Carolina Division . UNITED STATES BREWERS FOUNDATION, INC. By Mrs. H. Joyner The Roman's Club had met for the purpose of electing a President, since the one who had recently held the office had moved to a distant city. Two names were nomi nated for the new office. One was a Mrs. Priscilla Van Buren, a very stylishly dressed young matron who seemed to me, who was a stranger at the meeting, to be the last word in "Glamour". The other was a Mrs. Mattie Burke, who, although she seemed a nice enough, person, was a far cry from possessing any of Prisclllas glamour. After the votes were counted, I seemed to be the only surprised person to learn that of the 56 women who voted, Mattie received 50 of the votes. Being a stranger and truly interested in learning why Mattie had been overwhelmingly elected over the beauty and charm of her opponent, I asked for an expla nation. "Well, of course we realize Pris- cilla's charm and it does come in mighty handy when our club has Mary, Kate, Keeping up the struggle from each dawn till late. Their minds reach out for culture, none will try to shirk, But up and out and onward to do this uplift work. "Marching down with determined etpns romps Sflllle. She's early on her way to the Com-1 munity House rally. Of all the efforts, this worthy cause we must foster, For if we win, the whole crowd gets in on the roster. On the other side of the road comes Fanny Seeking for lunchers in every nook and cranny. She is the one who serves the barbecue dinners, Cheerfull eaten alike by the saints and sinners. It's all for the church, so why do we cavil, We'll eat them and like them as long as we are able. "If the President's wife ever has a dull day, 'Tis here she can find plenty of work and of play. They can help write "My Life" or maybe their death, For soon, seems to me, they'll run out of breath. Until that sad day which I hope is not due,. I wish with the poet, but I doubt it comes true. 'May the Peace of Allah abide with you.' " Contributed. WS of CS MEETS Mrs. Allen Jordan was hostess to the WS of CS of King Church Wednesday night, May 24. Meeting opened with song and devotional was led by Mrs. J. O. Sutton and led in prayer. Minutes were read and roll called by Mrs. Willie Dar- den. Due to illness Mrs. L. B. Kor negay could not. serve as president and Mrs. Lewis Jordan was elected in her stead. The program under the leadership of Mrs. Allen Jor dan was given with several mem bers assisting. Rev. Dennis Kinlaw conducted the installation service and meeting was closed with pray er by him. During the social hour Mrs. Jor-i dan, assisted by Mrs. Nathan Sut ton served ice cream topped with strawberries and cookies. EASOM TO SPEAK TO BAPTISTS Instead of the regular service by pastor J. M.

' ' Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lee left last Tuesday for Tampa, Fla. for a visit with their sonJFrank Jr. It Is understood that they will be away for about a month. While away, Mrr and Mrs. E. M. Sills of Pink Hill, are occupying telr h Mrs. Sills is t! e t ' r ani T '1. I f T to entertain out of town executives, but dear, this is not often. And you never can tell when Priscilla is liable to become bored and rush off to New York right In the mid dle of a drive for funds.. She's lovely to look at, sure, but she's unpredictable. And too, Priscilla has always been wealthy, and nat urally she doesn't quite under stand when we try to raise money to buy lunches for the underprivi leged children in our school. Now, you take Mattie, well, she's very different. Of course she's not much to look at outside of being clean and neat, but she's the kind that's dependable. Yes mam, you can al ways depend on Mattie doing what she promises. She's different from most folks in the way she feels that you should practice your re ligion every day. She is really startling. When the town's drunk was put in jail, it was Mattie who went and got his poor motherless boy and took him into her home. When that little teen-age girl got into that scrape last summer, it was Mattie who went to her rescue. Course Mattie didn't approve of what the girl had done but in her wise way she realized that kicking anyone farther into the ditch was the impossible way to reform one. To be sure, Mattie practices her religion every single day. When the friendless old woman who lived in the shack back of town became critically ill, it was Mattie who went to see her every day with warm food and medicine. It was plain, kind Mattie who would sit up with her at night when the' pain was so great that she could not sleep .No one seemed to care that the poor old woman was all alone and dying. No one but Mat- tie. So you see dear what our town thinks of Mattie. Even though she's decidedly plain, she's the kindest person we've ever "known. She's dependable; yes, you can depend on Mattie. In other words, our little town thinks that Mattie has the only kind of Glamour that's worth a D ." EsiTrCciffcrefor V .
