NO COCKTAILS FOR *
VOUNG GOLF PRO
Cocktail shakers and champ.onship golf cups will not mix. At
leart, that's tlie way Freddy i Snook> Webb. 16-vear-old Shelby golf
•tar and the Carolina* amateur champion, feels a bout it.
In the Carolinas open tournament at Reidsville last week the
youngest of the golfing Webb brothers turned In the best amateur score.
Hie first piire for amateurs was given by a Greensboro jewelry firm
*nd turned out to be a handsome sliver cocktail shaker, valued a:
•round $50. Fred, who doesn't drink and never has, found out, after
some questioning, what it was and immediately informed th# jewelry
firm that he had no use for it. By return mail the jewelry firm cour
teously informed that he could trade the cocktail shaker in for any
thing else of equal value. He will—and something other than a white
lightning mixer will be added to his growing collection of golf cups and
prizes.
Incidentally, if the tobacco people do not object to ihe information,
the young golf star doesn't smoke cigarettes, either.

WO-UPI HOWS THAT
VOW ? ?
Ripley, the Believe -It-Or-Not guy, picked up a real lreak -in West
c •« North Carolina the other day, we learn by way Of the Asheville Cit
l.on. It's this:
Horace Wright, of Haywood county, owns a dog which was
never born, but which was raised by a cat.
You doubling Tommies in the audience may not believe it, but the
freak is explained as follows:
The mother dog was shot and killed at the time she was about to
give birth to the dog now turned by Mr. Wright. An autopsy was per
formed and a Jive pup was given to a cat. The cat raised it and it vs
now a healthy canine although it first saw daylight by means of the
Caesarian operation.
IT WILL SEEM THAT
LONG, ANYWAY
Some fellow' stepped up to Johnston Avery, editor of The Lenoir
News-Topic, the other day and gave him the following recipe for living
. ire 150 years of age. (
F.at very little park
Bathe at least three times a week
Be careful of extra cold showers
Don’t attend wild parties.
Don't fail to exercise, especially from bending
Don’t stay up late at night.
Don't use tobacco in any form
Don't use snuff.
Keep away from women.
And above all, don't drink.
Johnston looked It over and remarked. "Anyone who tries it may not
i.ve to be 150, but my idea is that it will seem that long.
SHELBY SOON TO SEE
A REAL HOME SHOW
The majority of "home talent” entertainments m these parts—es
p cially since the heydey of the oldtime country school commencement
plays—-have been hurriedly assembled, trained over-night performances,
flow, information is, Shelby will soon see a well-trained dramatic per
formance produced and trained entirely by home people. It is not a
temporary set-up but is to be a permanent organization, something
similar to the "Little Theatre” players which have met with much ap
proval in other cities.
Advance tips on the cast leads to the belief that Shelby has enough
comely damsels, who are not tongue-tied and do not have wheels in their
head, and enough glib-talking young men to put on a play that will
entertain any audience. Maybe when it goes over this department will
have an opportunity to walterwinchell it.
1 UINKS SHEiBY WILL
WIN NIGHT GRID GAME *
One wag about town thinks the Shelby high eleven will win the
football game with Forest City tonight. The boys may never have play
ed football before at night, he says, but he knows several youngsters on
the team who are good at snagging a watermelon off the ground at
right, tucking it under their prms and selling out over the ditches to
cover
How'd you like to be married to one of thote TALL women at the
fair and have her start an uppercut for the chin nights when you come
