Then here are a number of suggestions: Lock your car doors with the keys inside. Or better yet leave it unlocked with all your gifts unattended. They're not likely to be there when you come back. Ignore all traffic lights and barge right into the stream of ap proaching motorists. Never cross at an intersection. Always sally forth in the middle of the block. People walked before they drove cars. Put your packages down on a counter and turn around to chat with a friend. Somebody else will probably appreciate your gift se lections. Be carefree and careless with your wallet or pocketbook. Al most everybody needs money, and nobody will want your driv nr's license and other identifica-^ tion material. They'll throw^thgse ;t of all. If traffic doesn't t enough for you blow n. There may be a law excessive noise, but >t your nerves to think Roberts, Donald McDade, W. L. PhelpS, Melvin Wright.

The whole treatise on the masti cation of athletes came in for dis cussion here recently as he watched a hungry Clemson College baske ball team devour & post-game meal in nothing flat. “Athletes eat faster than any body,” he observes Then he recalled the bowl bound Tennessee huskies. •• “They ate their pre-game meal with us and General Bob Neylarid told those boys to report to the dining room at 11:80. Well, at 11:29 the place was deserted. At 11:30 the boys filed in, sat down, ate a hear ty m^l of roast beef and were out of the place by 11:45 > “It was all a part of General’s precision planning, but frankly, I thought those boys were eating a little Fast.

Paul Carr, superintendent of Orange County schools, has accept ed chairmanship of next month’s March of Dimes for Hillsboro and northern Orange County.

He said an nouncements would be forthcoming from him at a later date as to de tails of campaign organization to assist him in this part of the coup-, ty. In making his first major ap pointment of this year’s drive, Smith said; —.— - - -—:r-~ “Facing the consequences of the worst polio epidemic in the nation’s history, this year's volunteer force is the largest ever enlisted.” “What happened to the nation last summer and fall,” he said, said, “was more than a violent up surge of polio incidence. It was a national calamity that wiped out all previous standards of compari son. i “For months and years to come, thousands of men, women and children will require all the skills that money and modern knowledge can muster to help restore them to useful lives. Add to this the total of those stricken in other years' and it becomes apparent what an enor mous financial burden is noy/ car ried by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.” In making the announcement, the director emphasized that all communities are in need of volun-j teers, both, men and women, and that enlistments will continue even during the campaign if necessary. This, he said, is due to the unpar allelled need of carrying the March of Dimes appeal to every business, organization and individual -Q..
