They were happy to welcome a new boy this week from Cleveland, N. C. His name is William Jay Hender son. Some of the children have had to miss their first day of school because of colds. The children are getting ready for the Halloween carnival. Second Grade. We, as Mrs. Margaret Hendon’s second grade, are proud of our attendance last month. We had only 13 absences with ten days of perfect attendance. Charlotte Le Vine, one of our class members, left for Florida to spend the winter. She entertained the class last Wednesday at the drug store with ice cream. We en joyed Charlotte and will miss her. Mrs. J. F. Watkins is our carni val queen and Mr. Tom Summey is our king. All the second grades will have a homemade candy booth at the carnival. Fifth Grade. The devotional program was given by Mrs. Nell Stewart’s fifth grade last Friday morning. The class said the first and twenty I third Psalms and sang "Living for ; Jesus.” The piano music was giv en by Nana Beha and Vivian Stew art. The speaker Chaplain Hub bard, was introduced by his daugh ter, Hariet Hubbard. He had a very interesting talk on the Form ing of a Habit. A small gift was presented to him by the class. Each wTeek Mrs. Rice’s fifth grade has a class discussion on citizenship and they elect the two best citizens of the week. This week Cecelia Wyrick and Stanley Brown wrere chosen. Last week Elaine Stafford and James Tim mermon were the best citizens. Sixth tirade. In Miss Pauline Tipton's sixth grade we have recently had a chap el program. It was lots of fun ’ preparing and giving the program. 1 Every member of the class took 1 part. On Friday Miss Kitchen came to give us an art lesson. It was very interesting to learn from her. She is coming to help us once a week. We are working hard on elect ing our representatives. Mr. T. Nesbitt and Mrs. Taft Elliott, as king and queen of the carnival, and appreciate all the votes given us. Several of our members have been sick, and we miss them. We are glad to welcome back Rachel Rhodes, Harriel Waters, Lawrence Nelon and Bruce Knupp. Mrs. Elizabeth Stubbs’ 6th grade has been writing editorials. We are putting some of them in the paper this week. Make Safety a Habit. In all schools there are some *boys and girls who act smart. They make it some of their business to run and push in line at the water fountain. They also throw rocks and acorns. Please act right and walk down the steps and hall. Do not push at the water fountain. Keep your hands to yourself. Our school would be a much safer and happier place if we would obey the above rules. ( : i By Daphne Jolly. Respect for the Right of Others. I think the people in this school ■ should take heed to obey the rules 1 more. Most every pupil forgets to keep 1 them. We should remember this : rule. “Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You.” ' By Kelly Caldwell. I GOT A HAULING JOB!

On the Steps. On the steps at lunch and recess there is too much running1. We could make it a habit to walk up and down the steps if everyone would try. Some of the people run down the steps and push peo ple down or bump into them. This should be stopped because some one may get hurt. I think all of the running could be stopped if everyone tried. Margaret Melton. Games at Recess. Do you like to play outside or inside? If you do you will be healthy. After an hour or two in the school room you will get rest less to go outside. That is why the recess bell rings at a certain hour. You should go out and play games and get your exercise. Just don’t stand around and talk be cause girls in your room are play ing a game you don't like. Ask them to take turns and then they can play your games and others, too. You will feel better when you reach your room. Carla Stone. Respect for the Rights of Others. Most of ous forget the rights of people, some of us forget that others have rights, too. We use their things without permission and then get mad when we are told about it. We destroy things which to us appear no good but to them maybe highly treasured. All of us should learn to respect the rights of others. We need to learn the lesson early in life. If we did there would not be so many unhappy people and much property would be saved. Then too, we should respect their rights in speaking, thinking, and playing I hope I can do as I have said. By Elsie Ballen. Respect l or School Property. In all schools there are certain children who disobey rules like running through the halls or throw ing rocks and even writing or cut ting holes on the walls. These children may not have training at home and some of them do it for meaness. That is a v'>ry bad thing. How would you feel if some one marked on your wall with a pencil n No, you would not like it. It’s the same thing about our school. You would not like to sit in a school room with marks and writ ings all over the wall. Our school would look better and have a bet ter name if each of us tried to keep it clean. Tommy Sobol. How to Improve the Playground. We could improve our play ground. All the grades could play on their own field. Some grades run all over the playground. If all the children would play in their own field and play together and not throw papers on the play ground, we would have a better playground to play on, and it would be neat and clean. By Aperetta Lowery. The four seventh grades,* Mrs. Corkran, Mrs. Burgess, Mrs. Sor rell, and Miss Lindsey, are mak ing tray favors for Moore General hospital. Some made little witches and bats others made Halloween scenes. Also they have been bringing roses for flowers. Charles Thompson and Jimmy Page are in charge of the vases. BROAD RIVER GROUP HEARS MRS. EVANS The Broad River Home Demon stration dub met at the home of Mrs. Ray Kirstein. Mrs. Emil Kir stein was associate hostess.

Shaver of Asheville and Mrs. Meta Case and Mrs. Morgan of Fairview. Also Miss Btissie Carr of Black Mountain who talked to the mem bers about Red Cross work and asked about interest in classes on home nursing. The next meeting will be held at the Community building. New Harmless Stunts Bring Halloween Fun If you teen-agers are looking for something different for your Halloween party, all you have to do is go back a few centuries and se lect some of the now nearly for gotten customs and superstitions. Revive any number of these and you'll have a Halloween party that will be one of the events of the year and will be talked about for a long time. Researchers of the American Peoples Encyclopedia in Chicago have uncovered some of the strange customs which our ancestors gen erations ago took very seriously. Nobody believes them now, but they can be turned into a gay Halloween affair and result in a lot of fun. In the old days Halloween was a time for mysterious rites that were to foretell the future. That’s what this party is all about. 1. Decorations for your party should be conventional orange and black with silhouettes of witches and cats about the room, corn stalks leaning against the walls and leaves on the floor, if you wish. Costumes are fine, too. The thing that makes this Hallo ween party different is not the decorations you use, but the follow ing stunts you introduce: 1. To learn who will marry first. liake your Halloween cake in me morning and cover it with orange and black decorations. Buy a cheap metal ring at the 10-cent store and wash and sterilize it in boil ing water. Then insert it in the cake, down deep and about half way between the center and the edge. Also take a hazel nut and imbed it in a different part of the cake. Before cutting announce that this Halloween cake was baked by the fairies and that it will fore tell the future. The guest who gets the ring will be the first to marry. The guest who gets the nut w-ill marry a widow or a wid ower. (This is a custom that goes back centuries to Ireland.) 2. To see what your future hus band will look like. Have whole walnuts ready with names of boys and girls. If you wish, you can draw faces on the shells. Give each girl the walnut wdth her name on it and let her draw one with a boy’s name. She then places the two in the fire place on the coals. If the walnuts burn quietly side by side for two minutes, the girl may know that she will marry a boy similar in looks to the one whose name ap peared in the fire. If the walnuts separate, she will still be puzzled about her true love. However, she has the next dance with the boy whose name she drew. (This is also an old Irish tradi tion, but the use of fruits and nuts for foretelling the future on Hallo ween goes back to a Roman festi val held for the goddess of fruit in November.) 3. Have a number of apples— a few more than there are boys at your party—placed about the kit chen, on ledges, window shelves, stove etc. Announce that each boy has to go out to the kitchen and bring back an apple. While they are gone, quickly let each girl draw a number written on a cabbage leaf. The boys return one by one. A girl’s future husband’s name will be the same as that of the boy whose order of appearance corresponds to the girl’s number. For example, a girl who has num ber 5 will some day marry a man of the same name as the fifth boy to come back into the room. Of course the boys must share the ap ples with the girls who claim them by number. Also these couples have the next dance. (This stunt is based on an old, old Scottish custom. Young wo men would go to the garden and pull cabbage stalks to hang over the door. Each stalk was numbered according to size. The men were SA VE! ! !

Now it’s the boys’ turns to lonrn the first names of girls they will marry. An nneient custom in Europe had a boy place 9 grain> of oats in his mouth and walk about without speaking until ho chanced to hear the name of a girl. This would be the name of ( his future wife. For your party ( you can use a popular cereal oat. | Send the boys into another room ( and blindfold them one by one. ( When a boy is blindfolded, with 9 oats in his mouth he is escorted into the room where the girls are m ■ he touches a girl, whereupon she must call out her name. . 11 n couples nre paired they si, . «n The girls aren't allowed to move about or dodge the blindfolded young man. The last boy to come ,n of course gets the only gir. ri mainmg, but he must find her ac cording to rule and hear her call out her name. Of course the cou ples are partners for the next dance. And the oats? The boys eat them. CLASSIFIEDS SELL • Phone 4101 TO LUNCH FUND The October meeting of Circle 5 of the Methodist church was held Tuesday night, Oct. 20 at the home of Mrs. I). P.
