VOLUME 50 MOUNT OLIVE, N. C.# Friday, February 26, 1954 NUMBER 92 - -1 ■ -;— r -■ ■■ '..... I .-—-: .......... — Or’ — The Mouth Piece i Uwmmhwmhmmhmhm ! One of the most popular phrases you hear from travelers nowadays is, “The world is certainly get ting to be a‘small place.” Truth of this is being proven over and over again in the experiences of those who go places. Take Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Flow ers, for instance. Two or three weeks ago they were in Florida. Passing through Titusville they de cided to stop for a meal, and when they walked into the cafe associat ed with the motel where they stop ped, who should they see in there, peacefully eating a meal, but Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Warren and chil dren, who were also in Florida iof a holiday. Mrs. Boyd Beall was curious the i other day about the power she thought we had over her husband. “I’ve beeii trying to get him to mow the grass and do some work in the yard,” she said, “but he's always too busy, or too tired. Then you come along and suggest hit ting some golf balls, and away hd goes." Shucks, Mrs. Beall, that ain’t power. It’s just a little trick which very few wives ever learn. You aee, we suggested something HE likes to do, and that’s all there was to it. If more wives would try to get their husbands to do something their husbands wanted to do any way, the wives would be sur prised at how obedient husbands really are. Mention of golf recalls scoring recorded by a quintet of Mount Olive players some time ago. In the group were George Sutton, Charles Kraft, Bryce Ficken, “Hooty” Lewis and Shelton Boyd. At the end of the first nine boles the score card read “44, 45, 46, 47, and 48.” We don’t remember just who had what scores, but it was kinda odd, we thought. A fireman’s wife turned in a fire alarm here the other day be cause she’d ofteri heard her hus jp band say' thd" department should be called first thing when any thing catches fire—not to wait until efforts to put the fire out have failed n 1 this time happened to be % k 11, and a passing color ed itr id already secured a buckv- — water, which would have been more than adequate to douse the flame. But this fireman’s wife wouldn’t let him pour the water on the fire because she’d already turned in the alarm, and didn’t want the firemen to come tip on a fire that was already out. Then she was so embarrassed by what she’d done she'hid when the firemen answered the alarm. But we can tell her, for the fire de partment, that it’s much easier, and takes much less time on the part of firemen, to answer a call where the fire is already out, or under control than it is to answer one where the alarm has been turned in too late. So don’t you feel badly, A. M. Calvin Portqr, newsman for The Tribune, was confined to his home by influenza several days recently, and got to the place, he said, where he really was enjoying lying > around, having his comparatively new wife wait on him hand and loot. His pleasure was short-lived, how ever. The day after he got up and around again, Mrs. Porter, the for mer Charlotte Andrews, became ill with the same stuff, and when Calvin’s turn to wait on her began It took the pleasure out of his own sickness. * Johnny Walker was telling us yesterday that several weeks ago the question came up in his family about whether to renew subscrip tions to The New York Times and * The Tribune. Of course be renew ed to The Tribune. The thing that amazes us is not that The Tribune won out over The Times, but that there was any question! r': If you ever want to bore straight through the earth, you’ll have a shorter distance to go if you start at one of the poles and go through to the other pole than if you start r -, equator and go through to r side—13.35 miles, to be rf* *ight think this infomation , jalue, but onf peter knows tads The Tribune. Jesse Hinson, representative of a wholesale grocery cqncern, who has worked Mount Olive merchants for many years, told us Tuesday that he will be a candidate for the office of Wayne county sheriff. Mr. Hinson, who is well-known here, has lived in Ooldsbqro most, or all, of his life, said he would file sometime this week, or next. . . 1 %' "" ' Milk is not a perfect food because It m low in iron and cellulose* _ School for Church Men At Calypso The School for Elders and Dea cons opened Monday night at the Presbyterian church in Calypso.
