Hew Hope Grange
Leads the Way
Th'e New Hope Grange,
though in its infancy is show
ing excellent progress in the
sponsorship of many worth
while projects. One project
which is particularly outstand
ing to the entire community
is that of the establishment of
a Recreational Club.
Immediately following the
organization of the Grange on
Auguts 9, 1946, J. R. Pulley,
who was elected Master, point
ed out to the group the need
and probability of instituting
such a project. This plan was
endorsed by the Grange mem
bers and the following people
were elected to serve as Direct
ors of the Club: E. T. Camp
bell, Chairman; Miss Carrie
Lockhart, Treasurer; Garland
Kirkland, Mrs. W- S. Nunn;
and Mrs. Winston Strayhorn.
Recreational equipment
such as table tennis, darts,
checkers, card games, etc., was
donated to the Club by J. R.
Pulley. The Club sponsored
a Brunswick Stew and the pro
ceeds derived from this were
used to purchase a piano—
Soft drinks, candies, pea
nuts, chewing gum, etc., are
available each club meeting
"night at a nominal cost.
Quite frequently the club
has featured moving pictures,
and skits presented by local
talent.
Kecenuy iwu wia
tions have been added, that of
awarding prizes to winners of
Bingo, and a “Door Prize ,
given to the person whose
"Number” has been drawn.
The Club is open each Sat
urday night from 7:30 until
10 o’clock and the attendance
has been unusually good.
Other communities in Or
ange county could take a valu
able lesson from the New Hope
people in how to cooperate in
a community project.

Friday
RESCUED: 1
Sheriff Latta—-whc
turn last Friday
hanks to
d us a big
ight—we
were kept from sitting on the
road less than three miles from
Hillsboro with an empty gas
X . . Somewhere along the
iy last week our calculations
the amount of gasoline the
truck was consuming
1 off the beam and caus
be stranded
large transport trucks flash by
on 70-A. _
TIME: The misfortune oc
curred about 11 p.m. less than
200 yards from Turner’s Ser
vice Station at the intersec
tion of 70-A and St. Mary’s
road. . . We had stopped at
the new filling station at the
intersection of the old Dur
ham road and 70-A only to find
that the station had not yet
been able to get its gas tanks
hooked up t6 dispense fuel.
SIGNS: The truck had al
ready given signs coming up
that long grade that the gas was
getting low, but we pulled out
from the filling station hop
ing to make Dud’s Tavern. . .
Every down grade offered an
opportunity-^ -to roast, but
there just wasn’t enough gas
to bring us in. . . For 15 min
utes cars and trucks ignored
the upraised, thumb-pointed
hand, but finally a kindly mo
torist stopped and carried us
to the Tavern where we dis
covered the sheriff enjoying a
cup of steaiiiing coffee.
HE READ FLY agreed to
carry us out to the truck with
two gallons of gas. . . Neither
one of us being an expert at
starting a just replenished ve
hicle, it became necessary for
the sheriff to pull us back to
town where he cut us loose at
the top of Churtpn street. . .
The long coast down the street
finally resulted in the truck
starting about time we reach
ed Walker’s funeral home. . .
Thus ended our gasless period,
and no one was sad about it.
OCCASION: The occasion
of your editor being out at that
time of night is explained by
the story on, the front page of
this week’s issue. . . We w$re
on our way back from Durham
where THE NEWS had been
honored by the North Caro
lina Press Association. . . First
thing Norf Webb at the Hills
boro Flower Shop wanted to
know Saturday morning was
about our speech of accep
tance. . . We hastily assured
him that speech-making was
not included in our list of ac
complishments, good, bad or
indifferent. . . It’s probably a
good thing the award didn’t
require an acceptance speech.
. . . To all those people who
have congratulated us for the
award, we give our sincere
thanks. . . .The folks here

REDDY FOR BETTER UGHT

There are a few simple things you can do to help
Reddy furnish the extra light needed for study,
reading, evening work, and cheerier interiors as
fall advances.
Use bulbs that are large enough for com
fortable reading and eye safety.
Place lights wisely, to eliminate shadowy
areas and resultant eye strain.
Clean globes and' reflectors occasionally.
