Well, basketball season has
officially begun at Jones Cen
tral. Our first game was at
White Oak on December 1, and
our second game will be this
Friday night at Jones Central
when our Rockets meet James
Kenan. We are looking forward
to a very promising season this
year.

Do you realize that ope-third
of our school year has passed?
Even though in some ways it
has seemed to drag by slowly, in
many other ways the time has
really flown! Seriously, though,
I think that we have had a very
good year so far at Jones Cen
tral, and from thd way things
are going now, this will hold
true through the entire year.
One thing which has helped and
will continue to help our school
a great deal is school spirit. I
believe that we have seen an in
crease in school spirit at Jones
Central this year, and I hope
that it will continue to increase.
THE
VETERANS
CORNER
Q — Does National Service
Life Insurance or U. S. Govern
ment Life Insurance ever count
as income on claims filed with
the VA?
A — Usually not. However,
NSLI or USGLL does count as
income for parents filing claim
for Dependency and Indemnity
compensation.
Q — If a veteran had service
in both World War H and the
Korean Conflict period, which
service period would be used
in figuring his deadline date for
using his GI loan?
A — Whichever service period
would give him the latest dead
line would be used.
Q — My husband was a vet
eran of World War I. Will the
VA furnish a monument for his
grave?
A — The Department of the
Army will furnish a headstone
or marker for the grave. Any
VA office will assist in making
application.

If we can maintain our school
spirit, not only in athletic com
petition, but also in every other
phase of our school life, we will
always have a school of which
we can be very proud.

We had what you might call
a “visitor” (although I think “a
small storm” would be a better
name) in Pollocksville for the
Thanksgiving holidays. I say
this, although I am sure that
there are very few people who
were not aware of this. I don’t
think I have to mention any
names. ,

Wonder ... -
If Earl Bell likes his new
“job?”
If Annette Lowery has been
“getting around” lately?
If Gerald Peed is getting to be
more of a “ladies man” than his
brother?
If Nancy O’Bryan has bought
any Christmas cards yet?
HEARD: Someone saying, “Hey,
Deleria!!!”

REMEMBER: Never go to sleep
in class — unless you’re sure
you won’t snore and wake up
the other students.
Turkeys and Peanuts Top Bargains in
Food Department for December
Turkeys, peanuts and peanut
products top the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture’s List of
Plentiful Foods for December.
Add to these apples, red tart
cherries, cranberries, canned
ripe olives, broiler-fryers and
beef and you have a wide as
sortment of foods from which
to plan your holiday menus.
It’s always good news to know
that turkeys will be in plentiful
supply for Christmas and New
Year’s dinners. And this year,
you can also get turkey pieces
and (at many places) turkey
rolls. The rolls are all meat and
no bone — for easy carving and
neat slices for buffet suppers,
snacks and sandwiches. The
pieces, of course, appeal to sel
ective eaters — those who like
that drumstick or that wishbone.
As for peanuts and peanut
products, the crop is large; so
are current holdings. Try pea
nut topper for ice cream: com
bine % cup peanut butter with
1 cup marshmallow fluff and %
cup milk. Stir in Vz cup chop
ped peanuts. Serve over vanilla
ice cream.
This year’s crop of apples will
yield 141 million bushels, more
than in any years since 1937.
A record-large red tart cherry
crop plus a record-large pack of
frozen cherries will put cherries,
cherries, and more cherries on
the market. Cranberry produc
tion is up 2 per cent this year
over 1963 and over the 5-year
average. Early estimates are for
a very large crop of ripe olives.
Brioler-fryers are expected to
continue plentiful in December.

SPIN THE DIAL AND SPAN THE NATION
Have You Tried Dialing Your Own
Long Distance Calls ?
You should. It’s the quick, easy, low-cost way to call Long Distance almost any
where in the country. And it’s as simple as 1-2-3.
1. Dial “I” to connect your phone with the Direct Distance Dialing
equipment.
2. Dial the Area Code of the city you’re calling IF it’s different from
your own area code (here, our area code is 919). If you’re calling a
person who has the same area code as your own, just dial “1” and then
the individual number of the person you’re calling. You’ll find a list of
area codes for many cities in your Direct Distance Dialing directory.
3. Dial the Number of the person you’re calling. Give the operator your
telephone number when she asks for it.
That does it! Direct Distance Dialing — DDD — lets you call clear across the
country as easily as you call down the street. What’s more, when you dial direct,
you pay only those low station-to-station rates. Why not try it now? Surprise that
out-of-town family member or friend. Dial direct. They’d like to hear your voice.
