Families made plans several days ahead to attend. Lunches were pack ed, for they usually lasted all, day, and a few nickels were' distributed to the children so that ice cream and cold drinks' could be bought at the “stand” which was always set up by some enterprising person. Valuable prizes were given away through ticket-drawing, and everyone could register old and young ajjke. A T-model Ford was often the final grand prize with 17-jewel watches and silver dollars coming ear lier in the day. The band—al ways referred to as a “brass band”—was another attraction that led bidders and spectators on from lot to lot. The boom of the bass drum and the magical moan of a slide trombone pop-] ped the eyes of many a tone deaf lad as he hugged close to the band truck, and aided the 1 prodding, salesman mingling' in the crowd to draw out a I SQUARE DANCE EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT CATTAIL” V rt I I rl I L (PENSACOLA) ilfllilHllMllllßHlllßlllHßlillMUllMllllMlllilMlilMiilllßiillMiliiMliWllllMllllMlllDßllllianniUllMHllMlHiWHa ] ," / ' I / '*“■ O oooooooooa ' / CUSHION°°°° \ V , y 7 ißSEk||* lStg#&2>. t • \JI\ - •. r IIT THE THREE BUILT-IN '%s/ RESILIENT CUSHIONS IN -V' THESE STAR IRANO EREIMOLOS / ABSORB THE SHOCKS OR ROUNDING STEPS •* INSTEAD OF YOUR FEET. . ■#!

But this week as the band par aded around town before leav ing for the sale location, some startled people turned to see where the music was coming from, and some looked from j office windows a moment, then 1 returned to work. Those inter |ested in buying property went i to the location and made their bids in a bnsiness-like man ner. All the old feeling of thrill and adventure in auction sales and “brass band” music seems to have vanished with the T-model. PRESBYTERIAN NEWS A revival at the Estatoa Pre sbyterian Church will" begii on Thursday night,'October 18 with the Rev. H. H. Van Cleve ( of Bristol, Va. preaching. Dr Van Cleve will preach each [night at 7:30, with the services continuing through October 26. On Sunday, October 21 ] Dr. Van Cleve will preach twice—at 11:00 a. m. and again at 7:30 p. m. Everyone Protracted Meditation. IT IS GOOD to read religm. books, to listen often to sei mons. It is profitable also to en gage with others in conversations of a religious nature. But these practices have little or no effect unless we meditate on the truths read, heard or discussed. Only In 1 this way can we hope to grow in spiritual strength and understand ing. Everyone knows the story of Mary and Martha told in the New Testament. Martha was the de voted housewife, too busy with practical things to give much time to prayer and meditation. Mary, on the other hand, liked to take time out to ponder over the things she had read or seen. When Mar tha complained of what she thought were Mary’s idle tendencies, Christ fold her: “Mary hath chosen the better part.” Most people cannot practice pro tracted meditation. Some persons are not endowed with the reflec tive type of mind. But everyone can and should devote at least a small part of each day to ponder ing over the great truths of re ligion. Even the busiest worker can take time out for God once in a while. It only takes a second to lift one’s soul to the Creator, to offer a little prayer of petition in time of stress, or to utter a grace id ‘‘thank you” when some new ■'» comes into one’s life, he great value of frequent .ditation is that it keeps one re .nuded of the part that Gcd plays ... every life.

How many arrests have you made already, Con stable?” 1 A snicker went around. Brant knew well enough his appointment 'by the village board hadn’t gone .over too well, but he’d soon show them who was boss. “None yet, but I’m on my way.

Peg-leg only stalled. "Now wha: in tunket for. I’d like to know?” “For sellin’ bait without a li cense,” Brant smirked. Peg-leg grinned then. “But I’ve got a license.

CALDWELL'S SENNA LAXATIVE Contained in pl*ciiant-tailing Syreo Reyhi Hayward, Lundigan Coming In ‘Climb The Highest Mountain, Story Os A Fearless Minister I'd Climb the Highest Moun tain,” pictorial drama of the great American outdoors, will be the new film attraction at the Yancey Theatre starting Sunday for 3 days. Starred are Susan Hayward ana William Lundigan as the central figur es of a serious folk tale with comic interludes, filmed by Director Henry Kiijg in the screen tradition of such back to-the-land epics as “Tol’able David,” “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine” and “Cimar ron,” and photographed in Technicolor to capture the na tural hues of actual North Georgia locations. Lundigan, one of the screen’s fastest growing and most ver satile new stars, assays his deepest assignment as the practical parson of I’d Climb the Highest Mountain.” The portrayal of the city-bred wife of the circuit-rider, unaccust omed to the rigors of back woods life in the early years of this century, is in the capable trust of Miss Hayward, an Academy Award nominee and another of the screen’s most important recently developed stars. The combination of the stars of “Pinky” and “My Foolish Heart” serves the in terest of moviegoers looking for fresh and qualified star blood in films.
