School was called off due to extremely hot weather last
week, for two days. It was. in my opinion, the right thing to
do.. .It must be a sin to make a mistake and call school ^ff
and the weather change. During the snow, it was always at
the last minute that school was called off. The sun may
come out and melt the snow. . .In the summer, when heat t
is the problem, here again it is the last minute. . .Lots of
people went to bed not knowing if there was to be school
the following day or not. . .To me. this seems a little
foolish. I believe it is better to call off school and be safe
and make a mistake and things get better than to have
school and things get worse. . .
When you think of country music stars ? Nashville ?
The Grand Ole Opry ? you think of big long Cadillacs,
rhinestone suits, and a lot of phonies. . .But, this is not
always the w ay of things. When I met Charlie Walker, one
of the Grand Ole Opry stars, he appeared about as
ordinary as anyone. Donna and I were eating breakfast in a
small diner in Nashville. We had called Charlie the night
before and advised him where we would be eating. The
diner was near our motel in downtown Nashville. Right on
time, just as he said, he walked in with two small girls, his
daughters, one about three years old and the other about
seven years old. Charlie was dressed as everyone else,
right down to the baseball cap with a sports emblem on it.
He could have walked down the streets of Warsaw with his
two kids and blended right in. His mode of transportation
w as an old GMC pickup truck with a couple of dents on the
rear fender. When he left us. he and his two daughters
were headed for a farm pond to do some fishing. They had
tried their luck the day before and had very little success.
Charlie said the two girls were just as happy with a
minnow as he would be with a big bass. . .Don't
misunderstand. . .Charlie is a successful country singer.
His w ife drives the Cadillac. . . He has had 47 songs on the
charts during his 25-year career. . .and a million seller in
1958. "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down." Charlie was one
of the first country singers to break in las Vegas. Now he
is heard bv millions every weekend < n the Opry radio
broadcast. . ."Don't Soueeze Mv Sharnjon" was a hit'for
Charlie Walker. , .The song was & take-off of an
advertisement for toilet tissue. . .Charlie is a very versatile
entertainer. His songs range from Texas swing to
honky-tonk songs. In fact, he has a lot of honky-tonk songs
and he does not even drink, though he performs in a lot of
places where liquor is served. He spends about 125 days a
year on the road. . .If he is nearby. I suggest you buy a
ticket. . .
*****
I HAD A PHONE CALL. . .A gentleman called and
wanted to know why the Duplin county commissioners did
not put in force the "work-fare." This is a federal program
in which able-bodied people who receive assistance are
required to work. Physically handicapped, mentally
handicapped and the elderly are exempt. . .However,
anyone able to work would have to work at some civic
project to get the food stamps, medical aid or any kind of
assistance. . .
*****
Bo Herring was telling me about a fellow that was
"tight." He was so tight, says Bo. he would wait for the
mailman everyday and bum a-cigarette from him. . .The
mailman had become so used to the fellow begging a
cigarette, he would have his pack out waiting when he got
to the fellow's mailbox. . .Son-of-a-Gun. . . .

The Ulcer-Cigarette
Link
Research has established
a definite link between
smoking and duodenal ul
cers. It puts cigarette smok
ing right at the top of
the list of culprits asso
ciated with this disease.
It affects the development,
severity, healing and recur
rence of ulcers Among the
facts recently defined:
? Cigarette smokers are
about 1.7 times as likely to
have duodenal ulcers as
nonsmokers;
? Ulcer disease is more
common among heavy than
among light smokers;
? Ulcers do not heal as
rapidly in heavy smokers;
and
? Death due to ulcer di
sease is about twice as
common among smokers. '
If you smoke and have
chronic stomach pain, you
should tee a doctor to find
out if you have a duodenal
ulcer.

Laboratories, discoverers
of the prescription drug
'Tagamet'.
