THE DAY WE PLANNED
TO WHIP THE TEACHER
I see by the papers that Russia’s
super salesman, Mikoyan was met
by a barrage of eggs out in sunny
California and I figure he would
have done better to have made his
trip just before Christmas. Eggs
were so high then that most people
would have been a little reluctant
to waste them.
Once back in high school days
a group of the tougher boys in our
school got together and planned to
throw a few eggs at the principal. |
Actually I didn’t even hear about |
it until it was all over, and done|
with. These lads saved their eggs
until they were a little over ripe
and they said they did a pretty
good job.
I was never involved in such an
incident, though I once sat in on a
group that planned to whip one of
our high school teachers and that
broke me from sucking eggs as
they say about a dog.
The whole thing began early in
the school year when some of the
larger boys in our class brought a
whole batch of cockle burrs (sheep
burrs) into the class room. At first
they contented themselves with
tossing them onto the long hair of
the girls in the class. One youngster
in our class was a perfect target
for he wore his hair almost as long
as the girls. So one bully walked
by his desk and rubbed a whole
handful into his flowing tresses.
Naturally, the youngster was hurt
pretty badly and he began to cry.
Our room teacher got into the
act and wanted to know who did
the dastardly deed. Os course none
of us would admit the crime and
we didn’t dare squeal on the tough
est boy in the i-oom so our teacher,
a young man from Georgia, told us
that we could stay in after school
at which time he would get to the
bottom of the matter.
Naturally, we all got together
at noon recess and swore we would
never tell. I felt pretty good about
the whole thing because I knew
that I had absolutely nothing to do
with it. But when the larger boys
began to make plans to give our
teacher a beating that afternoon,
I felt that things were going a bit
too far. Never did Mikoyan map a
better strategy than those boys as
they planned to beat the teacher.
The youngster with the long hair
had the job of locking the room
door to keep out the other teachers
and the burr thrower was sched
uled to hit the teacher first and the
rest would join in. No task was as
signed to me, for which I was ex
tremely thankful, though I was
scared half out of my wits.
Finally, the great moment ar
rived. Our teacher sat in front of
us and read some papers while we
waited and the suspense was al
most killing me. After a while he
looked up and straight at me. Then
he began with me, of all people.
He reminded me that I was grin
ning like a cracked pumpkin. He
didn’t know that I was grinning
because I was half frightened to
death. Then he told me how I had
written the answers on my desk.
He told another lad about eating
candy in school and another about
chewing gum. He went all the way
down the line without even men
tioning the burr-throwing incident,
and we were all dumbfounded at
the many things he knew about us.
No one locked the door and no one
made any attempt to hit him.
Suddenly he jumped up out of
his chair and ran to the tough burr
thrower and grasped him by his
hair. He tilted the young man over
until he wqs on a pivot then he
rubbed his free fist under the big
boy’s nose.
“As for you,” he shouted, “If you
Virginia, and will live there with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Wilder.
Cass Williams is seriously ill at
Morehead City Hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Burrus and
children of Norfolk visited her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. George Gaskins,
and his mother, Mrs. Helena Willis
recently.
Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Wahab have
been hospitalized at the U. S. Pub
lic Health Hospital in Norfolk.

PLANT PINES NOW FOR
MORE GAME AND MONEY
By (THE WOODS RANGER
This'' is the time of year when
lots of folks are walking over their
fields and forests with gun and
dog in hope of getting a shot at
a rabbit or some quail. Most farms
have a back corner or a wet spot
that grows nothing but broom
straw and a few myrtle bushes and
that makes poor cover for game,
although now days it is about the
best they can find.
Just picture for a minute how
nice it would be if that corner or
spot was a nice pine thicket with
a border of multiflora rose or se
recia lespedeza. Man! that would
make a nice place for birds and
rabbits. It would also be making
money for the owner because those
pines would soon become valuable
sawlogs. In 25 or 30 years each
acre of pines would be worth S7OO
or SBOO.
Many farms in the Albemarle
area have these small spots laying
out that could be growing pines and
growing money too. It would be
good business for everybody to
plant pines on these places. It takes
very little effort to do this and
would add a great deal to the future
income of the farm and to the
game bag of the hunter.
Now is the time to plant pine
trees and the seedlings are avail
able to everyone at cost from the
N. C. Forest Service Nursery. They
cost only $4.25 a thousand and that
many is enough to piant an acre.
The Forest Service also offers
planting advice free and the ASC
office will pay sl2 per acre to help
with the cost of planting. Now that
appears to me a real good deal.
Now if you have such a spot on
your farm, why not plant it in
pines? If you want that free ad
vice or an order blank for pine
seedlings, just call the N. C. For
est Service or your County Farm
Agent. You will get good service
free, and you don’t get much free
any more.
Let’s plant those pines now and
watch the game and money grow!
ever throw another burr I’ll beat
you to death.”
We were about as subdued as a
bunch of youngsters can be when
he dismissed us and never again
did we talk about beating the teach
er. Next test we had I learned the
answers by rote.
