Jones whitfield an elegant white

method of getting more mileage
out of the diapers that are avail

Take the opposite corners of the
diaper and fold them in so that ii
resembles a kite. Then take the
bottom tip and fold it up so that
it reaches what would be the cross
piece of the kite. Turn down the
top.
Plop the youngster down, and
pin him in.
It's Jones' contention that this
gives additional thickness in the

CURRIE FARMERS
BARN HAS SP00KS
Tobacco Curing FIue De

BY MRS. LORENA C. RAWLS
Star Correspondent

CURE, June 14.-It seems as If
since I have taken over the job OF
country correspondency of lower
Baden and Fender counties many
uasual tales come my way and here
comes one from the Still Bluff Sec
ton of Fender County.
While Raymond Corbett, colored
tobacco farmer, was preparing all
his tobacco barn equipment prior
to barring, busily engaged in his
work with other members of his
family employed elsewhere, he
heard an unsual noise in the barn
flues.
Noise Hats Work
The noise somewhat halted the
work, but realizing that tobacco
curing time was close on hand, he
made another move towards his
repairing job. The racket became
worse as he made a movement to-
wards overhauling the cross Sec
ton flues. After a few hours of
hating the owner of the tobacco
barn had business closer home and
to humans.
Army Collected
Early the next morning Ray
mond mustered up courage to col
lect a good size army of close
kinsmen to follow him to the haunt
ed tobacco barn, each MAJ armed
with either a rifle or a club.
After a consultation as to the
best method to use in capturing
the ghost all decided that fire and
smoke would move him best to
where clubs and powder could next
take their turn.
Fire Lighted
So a large turn of fat lightwood
was placed in the furnace and a
match struck. As the smoke began
to rise the racket began to rise al
so, and some claimed a very fami-
liar odor came seeping along with
the others.

courage and began to beat upon
the flues. There was no question
but what the last turn put them in
action.
Pole Cats
To make my story shorter, the
flues were literally full of pole
cats of all ages and sex. They be-
gan to pile out of the red hot fur
mace, making even a more death
ly noise than was heard at first.
And all claimed the most ter
rible odor in the history of pole
cat executions. But of course most
anything can happen il between

School Head Tells Kiwanis
Veterans Take Work
Seriously

H. M. Roland, County School
Superintendent, reviewed the work
Of ex-service men now attending
the high school classes, at Fridays
Exchange Club weekly meeting.
Roland stated that lis Ex-service
men enrolled in the winter term
and that now SIS are taking work
in the summer school. The average
age for these students is % years.
F~orty-six are single, nine m mar
ried. Most are taking 10th and 18th
grade work. Some are taking re-
fresher courses preparatory to
entering college .
The advantage these students
hold is the fact that they are TAX
ing accelerated courses, that is, a
student may advance as fast as he
chooses without reference to any
other individual or group.
Laboratory Equipment
Roland stressed the superior Ia
boratory equipment at New Han
over High School as being better
than afforded in the average col.
lege. One hundred twenty-five stu.
dents are taking the vocational
courses among which are such as
distributive education, welding and
the commercial department. Speak
ing of the facilities and courses
provided, he said, lover 10, 900 peo-
pie took various courses during the
war years at New Hanover High.
Present plans call TO. the estab-
liShment of an extension division
for the University of North Caro-
lima such that night classes will
be conducted and the students will
be entitled to the same benefits OF
instruction as those at Chapel Hill.
The program is now being develop
edW and if $50 %enrolle's for the
freshman class are obtained the
University courses will be started,
thereby placing Eastern North Car
DINA and New Hanover High School
directly as a branch of the greater
university system.
Display Ability
Roland emphasized the high deg
rec of seriousness and ability dis
played by the returning service
men. In some instances these men
turn out 8 times more work than
before they entered service.
