Flowers and Kisses Go Hand In Hand For Some By ANNE SEXTON It's nice to know someone reads what I write and then think; enough about it to remember . . and that's just what Mrs. May wood Taylor of Gates did. Mrs. Taylor stopped by the office Saturday morning, and a; luck would have it. I happened to be out at the time. I didn'l knew of the pleasant surprise she had brought me until I returned The boss (Mr. Morris) and ho son. Dale, left late Friday after noon to go to Cape Hatteras to dc a bit of fishing. When he left in. asked if I would call on his "bet ter half". ( Mrs. Morris) to see how she was getting along. She had been quite ill last weekend and he wantdd me to check and bt sure all was well with her Ol course. I was more than glad tc do :t. I went to the post office, got the mail, sorted it and did the necessary filing, then I ambled up to the Morrises to see how everything was going. I am happy to report, "all was well on the home front." I guess I stayed there about 15 or 20 minutes, messing with their small son. Dayev, and of course, running my mouth a little. After wishing them a nice holiday weekend. I depart ed and came back to the office. As I stepped in the door I saw the most beautiful bouquet of flowers on my desk along with an old newspaper—the Suffolk News, dated Saturday afternoon. February 27. 1926. I was so sur prised I couldn't move for a mo ment: then I saw a little note close beside them. It said: "Anne, the Index said you like flowers. I just couldn't come to Gatesville w ithout bringing you a bud. Here is an old paper I found. Thought you might like to read it. I read all that you write and like it.’’ The note was signed. Mrs. May wood Taylor. I don’t haye to tell you this, but I will anyway. I was thrilled speechless. Not only were the lowers beautiful, but the note A’as so nice. too. I just had to sit town and w'rite her a little note if thanks. Surely hope I was able o express my heartfelt apprecia ion for her thoughtfulness and cindness. It made my day much inghter. Little things mean so UUII1 LU Mil'. The old newspaper which Mrs raylor brought me contained' nany interesting items. The head ine is what really took my eye. t read: “Only Two Young Girls if the Suffolk Schools Have Not Been Kissed.” You can be sure I ead that story carefully. Here, briefly, is a summary of j hat story. Dr. Burke Culpepper, ■vangelist, holding services in the Christian Church in Suffolk, ask- i ■d the girls who had never been i ussed to stand up and only two tood up and they were scarcely >ver ten years of age. He warned he high school girls against auto nobile rides late at night with heir petting parties and necking vents and their going to road louses to eat hot dogs. He scored he girls who hissed the boys freely and stated that the oest time for the first kiss vVas three days after marriage: Remember, that was baek in H»2«: Another interesting, news item was headlined. "State Speed l aw Raises Limit." A bill was oiecd allowing vehicles to travel at 40 miles an hour replacing tne old bill winch allowed 35, Times sure have changed!. The only picture on the front page was that of a boxing match. Calvin Coohdge was President of the United States at that. time, and his son. John . Coohdge, lost a three-round bout at A.tvw r t to Matt Silverman, a fellow Mialehi. The whole paper was interest ing. I enjoyed it imirven'seiv. From the Pepper Cull', a feature of that paper.

WALTER MOOSE “Some went down to the sea ! in ships, doing business on the great waters; they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works ; in the deep " Psalm 107;23 Sometime during these summer months many of us visit the sea shore. We shall be going mainly for recreation—a quiet time of ! rest or a hurried sightseeing trip. We shall not be interested in "do- | ing business on the great waters," but in a few moments we can be made aware of the wondrous works of the Lord in the deep. | Personally. I am always awed by the vastness of the sea, and its tremendous power. Here is some thing that is far beyond man. He cannot control it. He must have . respect for it. And. then. I am impressed by the strange and varied life that inhabits the deep, as is evidenced by the countless lifeless shells that come and go with the tide Here is a world of life unknown to many of us. I al ways come away form the sea with a deepended sense of the greatness of God. Eternal God, in whose hands rests this little planet we call the Earth, help us to realize thy great ness and to put our faith in thy utilmate control; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
