Chapter 15 Nixie was up vwy early tile next morning lie could hardly wait us til it was time tor him to go to the achool. He looked up at the sky. It was cloudy. Ile hoped it would not rain Suddenly it grew colder and be fore Nixie was ready to set out, the ground was covered with snow Nixie was much pleased. He didn't like rain, but snow ? oh my! how that rabbit loved snow) That morning he used great care in washing himself, brushing awl dressing himself lie carried a black box in one hand Now what do you suppose Nixie had in that box? "Books," you say'' No, bunnies don't learn from books! The woods anil the fields are their books. Some things come to rabbits na turally, as they do to us. Others are taught the little ones by their mothers and by other friendly rab bits. But the rabbits' best lessons come from experience with their enemies and with things of their own little world. So you see, it wasn't books Nixie had in that black box. When his mother asked him what he had there, all he would say was, "A surprise (or the children." Just as Nixie started out he saw some children coming along the ro*d They were on their way to school. Rabbits are very timid, you know. When Nixie saw the children he hopped behind a bush. . He didn't mean to be rude, but he lust couldn't help it. When the children reached the spot where Nixie had been, they noticed traeks in the snow. They decided these were rabbit tracks. And as they had been told to find out all they could about rabbits, they were at once interested "Let us follow them!" one of the boys shouted. And follow them they did. The ?racks wound in and out They WMt this way and that, but no Wfcere in particular, it seeded Sun the children went on. At tyat, near a fallen tree, one of the beys noticed something like two branches of wood sticking up. He looked again. They moved! ' "IVy are e*r?." he said, "B* quiet! I think they are the ears of * bunny." He tiptoed around the log. The wind was Wowing away from Nix ie. and so our bunny didn't acent bim coming. My. wasn't Nixie surprised when the children stood before him! , "Good morning," one of them said. Nixie did not try to run away. Though he was ever so timid, he was no coward. But before he had time to answer, one of the girls said, "We are Miss Adams's children. Our school is up on the hill. We have been told to find out all we could about bunnies like you. and are going to have a bun ny talk to us today." "This bunny is supposed to be a good, and wise, and well-behav ed rabbit, lie had just returned from a place called Manners Land," spoke up another of the children. "Yes, and Mr Owl sent him to us. His name is Mr Nixie Bunny Cottontail," a third child said. "Do you know him?" they all asked, almost in the same breath. "Yes, indeed!" Nixie answered. He lifted his hat politely and bow ed. "That is my name. I am pleased to meet all of you." And he bowed again This lime the children were sur prised. How they wished they had not said so much! But Nixie didn't seem to mind at all He just smil ed and was as pleasant as ever he could be. One of the boys offered to carry Nixie's black box for him, but Nix ie said he would rather carry It himself. "You see." he said. "I have a surprise in there and 1 shouldn't like to have anything happen to it." At the school house door they were met by Miss Adams. She greeted Nixie and the children pleasantly. Then they all entered the school room. No one was ab sent that day, you may be sure! Awl everyone was on time! (To h* Continued) , Woman Wields Clippers In Effort to Clear Snow De? Moines >AP>?

C. watching roaring machines whirl |?roun4 the oval in the famous "Southern 500," perhaps you can see why this event would be a thrilling motion picture. Thunder in Carolina will have its premier showing at both the City and Beaufort theatres start ing Thursday. Ta give a brief history of the Darlington race track, we would have to start back in 1950 when a group of business men in Darling ton. S C (population 5.000). were playing gin rummy during a lull between sales at a tobacco auc tion warehouse. Someone suggested that Darling ton should have a stock car race track. One of the group owned a cotton field at the edge of town, so no sooner said than done, they proceeded to grade it into a mile and three-eighths oval for stock car racing. Came Labor Day, and they stag ed their first race, billed as the "Southern 500." After the race, they met to take stock and found that they had $2.69 in the bank and owed over $60,000. Undaunted, they tighten**! their belts and wont at it next Labor Day. Now the "Southern 500" dubbed as "The World Series of Stock Car Racing," is known the world over, and attracts over 100,000 people each Labor Day. This is second only to the Indianapolis Speed races, which draw close lo 200,000 people each year. Last Two Days Tuesday ? Wednesday shanghaied! SHIPWRECKED !

Some of the elaborate displays which turn up in high school sci ence fairs are actually the work of parents, not students, says a Turners Falls high school teacher. Charles Galvin tola school offi cials science fairs are overrated and are often little more than a publicity gimmick for schools, towns and newspapers. He said some exhibits in such fairs are beyond the capacity of high schoolers, and apparently are largely the work of interested par ents. ! ! Carolina Premier ! !
