We attended the funeral of Johl
Wallace. Friday, at the Miller fu
neral home. Our going was in re
spect to our friends, Mr.. and Mrs
Albert Maxwell, not having knowr
Mr.. Wallace, but that is not wha1
we want to tell you. Many times
we attend funerals after which VIZ
remember nothing, but Rev. Dwigh
James, the minister in charge
spoke on subject that we wished
he could have had more time on
Anyway he left food for much
thought.
1t seems in spite of the fact that
we have the teachers life tenure

playing PUSSY wants a corner.

there are politics in the schools
but were surprised that the officials
are willing to tell it out loud.

When at the home of James
Hutcheson and wife at Stockport
last week, he showed us many
things of interest. One was an
egg press. 1t is all of wood, made
on the style Of the hand cider mills.
Mr.. Hutcheson explained it thus:
, The eggs were packed in barrels
with chaff, oats and SO on. They
would put in a heavy layer of the
packing then one of eggs, and SO
on until near the top, then much
oats or chaff then the head was
placed on top the packing, then
the screw was put into action, un-
til the head was in place to nail
in. They have many pieces Of fur
niture which are the fruits of his
handiwork, which shows the marks
of a skilled workman. While we
well remember the advent of the
modern egg cases, we can't remem-
ber the pressing process. II Mr..
and Mrs. Hutcheson had their large
house in some of the defense areas
they could house lot of folks.
Perhaps some of our readers did
not understand that the house be-
ing razed by Mr.. Whitney, is on
the former Edward Murray farm.
Saturday night quite number of
Stockport folks informed us that
1.-The rain is gone, or it don't look
like rain" When we came out of
sound sleep to hear it raining we
had to study while to determine
where we were.
Arranging For Memorial Day
Arrangements are under way for
Memorial day services at Stock
port. Those fostering the observ-
ance feel that this service will be
not only in memory of deceased vet
erans, but in honor and respect of
living veterans of past wars, and
of our boys who have given and
are risking their lives in the pres
ent war If you have a relative
who was, or is a soldier, or if you
have been spared the agony of Civ
ing up your loved ones, you will
come, if you are an American, or
deserve to be protected. Watch for
further announcements, or better
still help make the occasion an
honor to the community.
The stamp and bond meeting at
Stockport Monday evening was at
tended by large and attentive
crowd, in spite OF the fact that
sugar rationing registry was on at
the same time, which kept all the
teachers and many registrants
away. The NJ. & M. high school
band did themselves proud. The
drum-maj ajorette, Colleen Burt, di-
rected the band in the absence of
the director Mr. Miller, who is ill
at his home in Malta. A quartet
composed of the Sears sisters Of
Malta, and Ritchey sisters of Bris-
tol sang several selections. The
speakers. Atty Chas. d. Fogle, Ma
rietta, and our own Judge c., NJ.
Riecker, who older folks who
have known him all his days, call
Carlos" were both instructive
and entertaining. We heard one
man say "They don't pay enough
interest We couldn't help wonder
ing if he had bought any Dollings
stock. We might do well to tell
you that we learn that he is pay
ing no interest in sons, or any 9TH
er relative.
