The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1943-05-20

Time! mere are times Wnen all
of us look better than others, but
clothes make a big difference in
some people, particularly women.
If you have never stopped to
think about this, look over some
old albums, dating 10 years back.
Another thing that makes a big
difference in people, is age. And
of course, this shows up in pic
lures as we'll as real life. Being
in the newspaper profession, we
hear and see a lot about pictures.
Few newspaper pictures are very
! flattering and many people are
disappointed in their appearance
in the news columns. One prom
inent person asked that we re-
frain from running the cut we
had of him because it looked like
Eddie Cantor! Another came in
with a new picture and asked that
we have a cut made because he
did not like the expression on the
cut which we had been using. We
; had a new one made and what in
terested us in this was that Miss
Carrie Taylor, popular county
nurse, who happened to drop by
when the cuts came in, saw this
particular one and remarked,
THAT looks far younger than he
does" That should be flattering,
because most of us, after we pass
80 want to look younger than we
are!
Legal representations?
Sometimes it is fun to imper-
senate and there are others when
it proves to be embarrassing and
there are still others when we
may run afoul of the law because
of such actions.
The writer remembers quite
well, when a student at the Wo-
mans College, of attempting an
impersonation of my favorite
teacher, the one and only Miss
Harriet Elliott. Was my face red
when she caught me? And l still
blush to think of it, tho I am
sure she has forgotten it years
ago.
B. B. GRAPHICAL had a unique
experience near Todd the other
day when someone stopped him
for no reason, stating that he was
an officer of the law. When Ber-
Inard asked this self-styled official
where he was from, the man an
swered that he was from West
jefferson and was a special depu-
| ty under Carl B. GRAPHICAL! You
can imagine his CONSERVATION
when he discovered who Bernard
was, and where he was from.
In The WAGES Now!
Ashe county has a number OF
women in service with Uncle
Sam, as we'll as men. And they
are making good records, too.
Auxiliary Mamie Miller Carlan
was in the office the other day
looking better than ever. Mrs.
Carlan, who is stationed at Fort
Jackson, likes the work very
much and is particularly happy
about being able to do a special
job toward winning the war.
Horse And Buggy Days!
Sometimes we forget just how
much we liked the things of the
past until we try them over again.
The Earl Rays were among those
seen buggy riding Sunday, as
were Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ray, and
of course, they all enjoyed it
again!
It is hard to imagine any more
pleasant diversion than riding
along horse and buggy style and
viewing the beautiful scenery
along Ashe highways these days
as nature dons her new summer
dress.
Lost In The Dark!
Cropping in the dark for an
electric light switch is no longer
necessary as a result of the de-
velopment of a new line of lumi-
nous, plastic switch plates. When
subjected to the room light of an
!! average home for about Is min
uteS the plates, the maker claims,
will gradually dispel their light
storage in the form of a phos-
phorous glow in the dark for at
least two hours. The longer they
are exposed to light and the
brighter the light. the longer they
will effectively glow. (Forbes).
