dents greet each other after the
summer vacation, as we'll as the
teachers. This school is fortunate
not to lose single teacher during
the year.
There were quite a few parents
who attended the opening. Mrs.
Bernard B. GRAPHICAL, whose old
est daughter is a member of the
sophomore class at the Woman's
College of U. N. c., said she had
not missed school opening since
Myrtle Dean first started out,
thirteen years ago. Mrs. R. c.
Ray remarked that she had at
tended a number of opening ses-
sions, but that this was the first
rainy day opening she could re-
member.
There were some last year
graduates present, too, who looked
like they were little sad over
not being able to enroll again.
Among these were the Weaver
girls, Wanda Lee and Juanita.
They, by the way, are going to
Wake Forest and to ASTC, re-
spectively, this year. Rachel
RAIDER, another popular last year
grad, just missed the opening here
as she entered Brevard College
on Monday.
There were several who were
entering school here for the first
| time, among whom were Linda
j Reeves, Frank Quessenberry and
Mary Davis. They seemed to like
the idea and along with others, got
off to a good start.
Home Again, Home Again!
Can you imagine being taken
away from a companion, from
whom you had never been separ-
ated, removed to hospital for an
operation without being told why
or how long you would be there?
That is about what happened to
''Scotty'', one of the P. G. Wright's
well known pair of dogs. Not
being versed in dog language, not
even the doctor could tell her
what it was all about. But after
several weeks of treatment, she
is we'll and back home again.
Came in style, on the train, of
course. We can imagine some of
the things she must have thought
of and wished for; for after
greeting dog friend silly, she
went directly to the back yard
where she dug out bone, long
since dried out!
New Guinea Heard From
From New Guinea, Miss DeEtte
Crawford recently received a
japanese parachute from S. E.
Mason. It is made of beautiful
white silk and we agree with ''De"
that it would make fine wedding
gown.
He also sent along an interest
ing set of bow and arrows, made
from bamboo. Both of these
have been on display in a win
dow here and have attracted con-
siderable attention.

Our highly esteemed friend,
Col. A. l.. Fletcher, recently sent
us clipping from the column of
John Temple Graves in the Bir-
1ningham Age Herald.
We can agree with the said
clipping since we are married to
the party about whom it is writ
ten. The clipping is as follows:
"Of Ed Anderson, publisher
from N. c., who addressed
the Alabama Press Association
here . . my always interested
friend, Ben Green, says: "In my
opinion and it is not humble, be-
cause I have met a lot of country
publishers in these United States,
Ed Anderson is the outstanding
community newspaper statesman
of America. It is impossible to
put on paper the feeling he gave
me when I saw him handling the
preservation of testimony on the
Bankhead advertising bill 9.
Ed has everything. In fact, I
think he has the earmarkS of
fine occupant of the White House."
Knowing both John Temple
Graves and Ben Green, we thank
them both.
Seeing 1t Done.
Gale B. Mcmillan, who has
long served as chairman of the
crippled children's committee for
the county, tells of an interesting
trip he had through the Hickory
Center, last week, where num-
Der of infantile paralysis victims
from this county are being treat.
ed, Gale was greatly impressed
with the way the convalescent pa
tients were enjoying themselves.
I believe it should make us all,
feel good to know about this.
