NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Havintr Qualified as Executrix of of St Valentine's Day as we observe estate ot jameB Riddick, deceased, it today. Perhaps the most logical explanation of how the name Valen tine came to be connected with a day on which lovers send tokens to one another lies in its connection with a prevalent belief in Europe in the Mid dle Ages. . ;- ; ; Literature of this period, beginning about Chaucer's time, shows that the popular conception was that the birds began to mate on February 14th. Thereafter, English literature fre quently mentions the day as a sacred one for lovers. This was how the day was connected with lovers. The name itself could have come from either of three great Valentines, y . One was a priest in Rome, another a bishop in Terni, and a third of which very little is known. Perhaps various people connected various saints with the day, but the day was always Feb ruary 14th, and the connection with the lovers probably began during the Middle Ages, when the popular be lief about birds was connected with human lovers. From this beginning, the custom of observing St Valentine's Day has grown into one of the most beautiful customs, especially for young people, in the United States and elsewhere. In this country, young lovers exchange Valentines, greetings and presents, and there is an air of romance about the day which does the hearts ' of young and old much good. late of Perquimans County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons having claims against the estate of said deceased to exhibit them to the undersigned at Belvidere, N.

It had an area of 113,596 miles and it became the forty-eighth state in the Union. It was the former Territory of Ari zona; now known as the Grand Can yon State. It could well be called the "Valentine State." GM Sets An Example The announcement recently by Gen eral Motors that it would spend a bil lion dollars, or more, on plant expan sion came at a good time and cheered up many people in the country at large. It was just what was needed in the current trend toward reducing . inventories, holding back on orders and otherwise slowed business activ ity. The GM announcement is naturally a major news item in steel industry circles for that industry sells, about fifteen per cent of its output to the automobile industry. The GM an nouncement also reflects that corpora tion's faith in the future of the auto mobile business. There is also encouraging news from Henry Ford U, who is said he expect ed to buy large quantities of steel in the near future and no doubt his de cision will have an important effect in the steel industry. We have pointed out many times recently that business prospects, over the long run, are not bad. The fu ture should be regarded with opti mism, if a longer period than just 1954 is being taken into view.
