E. Stinehcomb, she will not only be doing a golden deed but will also be making a lot of folks very happy. Last Thursdaj morning, Janu ary 2, Mrs. Stinehcomb picked her last sugar stamp out of its hiding place, wrapped it in a roll of tissue paper to protect it from the ■ weather, camouflaged it with sev eral pieces of paper to make it look like an ordinary postage stamp, and set out for the store. And she was whistling and hum ming as she went—because this was the day her sugar stamp was good and she had visions of pies and cakes and sugar for the tea and coffee. The world was a pretty I bright place in which to live after all. At the store the said stamp was gingerly unrolled—after cautious glances in each direction to make sure there were no stamp pirates around. The purchase made, Mrs. Stinehcomb placed the sugar on ’ the counter along with her other packages and left the building, trusting that the employees would ’ guard the bundles with their lives, if necessary. Although she wasn’t gone more than a few minutes, when she re turned the sugar was gone. A 1 woman, the clerk assured her, had taken it by mistake and would ' surely return it just as soon as she found out what the package contained. The store manager was polite and sympathetic I; t he had al ready delivered five pounds of sugar for the stamp, and the rules say, you know, that you can’t sell " sugar without a stamp—and it must be just the right stamp, too. s r One of the employees expressed 5 the opinion that a woman who left 1 the store right behind Mrs. Stinch j comb must have taken the sugar along with her other packages. Os 1 course it was a mistake but that I doesn’t bring back the augar or fill up the sugar bowl. In the mean time the sweet tooth at the Stinch . comb home is having to eat out. After a week hoping that the customer would discover her mis take and return the prize, Mrs. Stinehcomb is still waiting. If the lady in question really wants to do her golden deed for the day, she will inspect her packages again, find the one in question, I and return it pronto to the Dixie store or to the proper owner. It’s a long time before another ) stamp is good, Mrs. Stinehcomb . unhappily opines. 3 ; leek Who’s Here! 1 Mr. and Mrs. Victor Creasman are parents of a 0 lb. son, Bruce, c born at 11:17 p. m.
