Eight False
Alarms For
The Week-End

New Year celebrantS rang out
the old and welcomed the new year
with six false fire alarms, Assist
ant Fire Chief J. W. Hayes, Jr. said
today, bringing the total false fire
alarms for the weekend to eight,
nine alarms in all being sounded,
one a fire at the home Of w. r..
Vaughan on Gholson avenue last
night about o'clock.
The alarms were pulled from
outlying boxes mostly with both
trucks responding to separate
alarms simultaneously.
Henderson has passed the New
Year without false alarms, which
are costly to the city as well as
dangerous to the firemen and traf-
tic.
Six false alarms were pulled
Sunday night, with the other two
being pulled Saturday night.

Feeling Of
Optimism Is
Noted Here
Expectation Is That
Business Will Equal
Last Year, Barring
Unforeseen Crisis.

an unusually noisy welcome was
extended 10 me New Year l94o py
Henderson people last midnight, with
more fireworks exploding, more
r;na..s Of bells and tootinS "t horns
arl whistles than II years. Midnight
v;,.cH services were held III 4 num-
Der of churches. and business gen
orally entered the calendar period III
a feeling somewhat of restrained op-
timiSN.
The general expectation appeared
10 be that 1910 would bring as good
4 volume OF business as did 1889,
taken a. whole. Industry here is
moving At 4 somewhat faster clip
than for several years. and, while to-
bacco prices are off. an Improvement
in that respect is hoped for in 1910
as result Of restricted acreage:
under the control quotas. Cotton Is
selling better than year ago. though
this IS not a prime factor in this
county. since in the past few years
so little of the crop has been grown
here.
Churches led in the watch night
services just before Sunday mid
night. Virtually all Methodist
churches in the county, and the First
Baptist here. and possibly others,
held services in the evening.

fewer than usual, due to the Sun

Rather Slow Be-
ginning For City, But
kush at County Of
flee; Listing Is Three
Months Earlier This
Year.

Listing of taxes for 1910 began to-
day for both the county Of Vance
and the city Of Henderson. The date
in keeping with an act OF the 1888
LEGISLATURE affecting the entire State,
is three months earlier than in form
er years, when assessments were on
the basis of valuations rs Of April !.
At the court house, where the
county'S listing for Henderson town
ship was in charge of Mrs. Alpheus
Thompson and George T. Pegram,
there was an early rush to list, most
ly by small property owners. AT the
city clerks office, where listing is
being done for the city, only ID re-
turns had been received at mid
morning.
The entire month of January will
be given over to listing, just as the
month of April heretofore has been
devoted 10 the undertaking.
List-takers were appointed a
month ago to serve in each Of the
nine townships Of the county. and all
of them were on the Job today.
Considerable nuHliritv h@" br"'
given TO the fact that the date for
listing has been changed, and citizens
generally are expected to fall in line
md get the matter behind them
speedily, as they have in the spring
IN other seasons. Although the listing
was not as fast as had been hoped,
presumably due to the holiday, it is
ovnected that takers will find
themselves very busy much of the
time from now on.

First OF all, the person who is
older than you are wants you to be
respectful rather than brash. And
that goes, whether he deserves re-
spect or not! The college senior
demands it Of the freshman and
the boss demands 1t of the ONCE
boy. You don't have to be servile
apple polisher, but you do have to
defer. actually or apparently, to the
superior wisdom and experience OF
age.
Now read the first few paragraphs
OF this column again. Notice how
nobody thinks OF himself as really
old. but merely looks on younger
people as somewhat immature.
There's hint for you! Never let
an employer, parent, uncle or pro-
lessor get the idea that you think
he's only one step short of a dodo.
Always remember that he doesn't
think he's old, even II to you he
seems positively prehistoric.
A third point to keep in mind is
that most adults firmly believe they
are young in spirit, and they are
therefore flattered by the liking or
attention of youth. II Eddie tells
his Aunt Agatha all about the junior
prom, and acts as though he ex-
pected her to get a kick out of it,
you can be pretty sure she will.
She is hattered to think that Eddie
considers her sufficiently young in
heart to be interested.
Moreover. If Eddie goes so far
as to ask Aunt Agatha for a bit of
advice about his youthful affairs,
he'll make still more of q hit with
her. He will be implying not only
that she is young enough to under
stand, but also that she is a person
Of sound judgment. Aunt Agatha
naturally likes that. and she re-
spects Eddie deeply for having the
good sense to recognize her abilities.
So that gives you another hint
for making older people like you.
Ask their advice!
A nth point to remember is
that as people grow older, they
usually become more conservative
In all their attitudes. This is partly
because experience really has shown
them the folly Of their youthful
ideas, and partly because their
mental arteries are starting to
harden.
They are likely to resist change,
and this Is not always a bad thing,
because changes are not necessarily
improvements. But they are also
Evening star., 1940-07-23

Dear Miss Dix: Frequently you
advise young men to give up the
young women they have been going
with for a long time if they dis
cover that they are tired Of them
and no longer want to marry them.
Now it is all right for a woman to
change her mind and drop a man
when she loses her taste for him,
but 1t is quite different With the
man II he gives the girl the air
after going steady with her. He is
forever branded as a filter and the
finger of scorn is pointed at him as
long as he lives. Young men have
more honor than young women, and
if they fall out of love they make the
best of 1t and go on and marry
the girl-and don't they have hell?
MAN.
Answer-they do, and so do the
women they marry. For there can
be no unhappiness equal to the daily
misery that a couple 60 through
when the husband feels that he has
been forced into marrying a woman
he does not love nor desire. and the
woman knows herself to be an UNI
wanted wife.
Marriage under the best circum-
stances is a hard road to travel.
It calls for many sacrifices, for many
adjustments, for putting another's
happiness and well-being before
ones own. No two people can live
together without getting on each
others nerves and at times boring
each other.
This goes double for husbands
and wives because, being of diff
ferent sexes, they never see things
from the same point Of view, or
really understand each other, and
hence continually irritate each
other. with the little ways and
prejudices and tastes that are a
part of sex itself.
But If they love each other they
