C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21,1954 E NUMBER 74 The Mouth > Quote for today: “We have no' more right to put our discordant states- of mind into the lives of gosh around us and rob them of eir sunshine add brightness than We have to enter their houses and steal their silver-ware.”. — Julia Seton. Bay Howard, who works at Cen ter theatre here, appreciates the small bag of groceries, which sijme one left in his car-by mistake. However, his, conscience won’t let him really enjoy them, so he would be glad for whoever they belong to, to pick them up from him. The groceries were left in his ear Monday morning, while it was parked in front of the theatre. More and more people believe It’s a mistake to have Santa Claus walking around the streets. For . him to come to town one after noon, throw candy, etc., to the kids, and then leave, is one thing—to have him where the children can approach him, see the evident falsi ty of their great idol, and experi ence the perplexity of Santa’s be ing here, and a thousand other places at the same time, is anoth y or. : * , Little Preston Parker, sen of Mr. And Mrs. Louis Parker, is just get ting to the stage where he can put more than one or two words together. Passing the drug store on their way home from Sunday school Sunday, Preston told his mother he wanted a drink. Mrs. Parker was so proud of him she panted to buy him one, but had left her purse at home, and didn’t have ahy money with her. Oh, well, if Preston’s getting old chough to talk, he’s getting old enough to find out there are dis appointments in the world, Mrs. Parker, so there’s no need berating yourself about not rewarding him. T-- , If you don’t think our town is ^%rowing, just you get out and around sdhte'Afternoon th the areas where, only a few years ago, there were only lying-out fields, vacant lots, or even farm lands. Can you imagine? Bobby Lasarik and Shirley Hines, who think the world of each other, have not had many opportunities to see each oth ed since college started in the fall. Now here, during the Christ mas holidays, they’re so busy With visiting other folks, etc., they have had scarcely a minute to themselves. Incidentally, Shirley wants us to Ml Santa Claus to bring her a pair of contact lens, like we wear. And, we understand, Peggy Hinton has written a very frank apd ap pealing letter to Santa Claus, too. Paul Garrison would like to have a week of Mondays so he could get caught up with his deer hunt ing. Wade Kornegay would like for Santa'to plant some long-leaf pine in New York so he wouldn’t have to go out during the cold «f each December and gather enough for some of his kinfolks up there to decorate with. Robert Smith and Jack Lister might want running water for their fishing boat, next. They already have a self-starter! Mr., and Mrs. C. G. Cowan are going with the Earl Thompsons of Goldsboro, to Miami for the Orango Bowl game New Year’s day. You might bring them a bang-up game, with Duke win ning, so they won’t feel let down after the trip! N vi tuiusc uictc oic a iui ui ethers from this section going to Miami, too, and some of them, just to be on the safe side, are taking their “sunshine” with them! One of the cardinal points of a good golf swing ty to keep the head still. To help us in this de partment Wejiad Leon Britt make a little contraption we think will do the trick for practicing. He’s had it made a month or more, hut we cant think to pick it up when , he’s open. jfga The other day Leon stopped by rflne office and asked us to please ~^>ick up that rig or else tell him exactly what it -was for so be ' could explain it to all the "folks who asked him what it was.
