DOTn TeSlu0HIS, nave given eminent
satisfaction, and will no doubt be
re-employed for the coming year.
We read quite bit about politics
in WPA. We hear quite bit Of
talk lately about a school where
politics are being played by some of
those in charge. We feel it is wrong
and we are convinced the said
politician will lose out, both as a
teacher and politician.
Bristol township was well repre-
sented at court last week.
We wouldn't be surprised if
there should be some folks in hell
that even the devil wasn't expecting,
Now with nice showers and warm
weather, what will we complain
about?
Bristol township had an uncle
and his nephew Guy Radcliff and
Dick Mcconnell among the gradu
ates of the Reinersville high school.
The Old Home Town
We often hear of folks in the big
cities who do not know the folks in
the next house We have often
wondered if folks in McConnelsville-
Malta came any ways near reaching
the high standard of Bristol folks
as to being real neighbors. Now we
know. Last week we We're in
home in the village where the Grim
Reaper had swooped down and left
sorrow in his wake. AS we noticed
the neighbors coming and going,
and heard a member of the family
tell of their kindly deeds as we'll as
consoling words, we were convinc-
ed it is in the blood of Morgan
county folks, and surroundings,
whether it be green clad hills and
valleys-or mansions in the town,
which means unless you are-and
have neighbors you are beggar,
even though you live in a palace.
Since writing the item about our
school We learn our teachers have
been hired for a two year period,
which seems satisfactory to all pa
irons and pupils.
Carry Us Back, Etc.
Right at time when we feel our
pencil pushing is nigh the end it
gives us a funny feeling to see op-
where the clover is waist high, of
the variety we would enjoy harvest
ing for Morgan county readers.
Maybe some specialist may find
why we are failing and what we
need to bring us back to where we
can write for the Tuesdays McCon-

If Mrs. Frank McCarty ever had
any idea of investing in a washing

Poppy Day
We had only alighted on the pave
ment when a sweet little girl ac-
costed us with Buy a poppy to |
whom we handed dime, which we |
would have given her, if it had been |
our last one, feeling it was only a !
small part we could do to repay the |
debt we owe the men who put up
their bodies against the foe in de- I
tense of you and me, and were Grip I
pied, shell shocked, and gassed. We !
couldn't help noticing those who !
refused TO buy, many Of whom we |
knew-among whom We're those |
who had much of this worlds goods |
some who feel prominent-one j
who not so long since ran for coun-
ty office. Thank God he didn't get |
to first base. Let us suggest that I
next year those having the sale III !
charge have two other kinds to give |
aWay-yellow for those who have |
the money and won't buy, and white |
for those who would like to, and I
can't
Sometimes we hesitate about one |
second when writing about matters |
like the foregoing to go |
ahead and write it knowing that !
those who refuse to buy have never
