Now you chechakos, just because he weather appears to be moder- tingy don't take off those red fan els, just yet. The Taku might sud- enly come to life and, cur-r-r-r, CIV 1t can bite.
 Now, the weatherlnan predicted { might go to below last night, gith gusty winds. According to the
 mpire's thermometer, the one on he corner Of the City Hall Build ng, the weather hovered around 3 3eorees below, and very little breeze. r is was at am. today and again 1t am. Then the mercury went D to the zero mark. and believe t 1r not, it was 5 above at pm. to- lay. That is what the weather man avs it will be tonight, 5 above. This ls perfectly satisfactory to all.
 But out at the airport this morn- ng it was 16 below, which is some cold. It was getting warmer out [ here this afternoon however.
 Anyway, keep those warm undies on, wear that heavy coat, and don't hrow away the earmuffs, nor the l.eavy mittens or gloves-until it sets above freezing, then keep them handy. anything weathery can hap cen.

were the friendly smiles on the
faces of students and parents alike,
the warm handclasps and the shy
little speeches. that put into words
what the Gunter Mountain COM
munity thinks of its OAR School.
This Dedication Day was a very
special occasion. On hand to join
in the observance were Daughters
of the American Revolution from all
parts of the country.
More than 70 officials from the
National Society, representing 80
States and the District of Columbia,
were spending several hours at Kate
Duncan Smith as part of Pilgrim
age to six of the Southern noun
tain schools aided by the society.
School Founded in 1924
The Alabama school is one Of two
which are owned and operated by
the OAR. Founded by the Alabama
Society in 1924, it has sought to
elevate what was then an isolated
mountain community by providing
special training in vocational agri-
culture, home economics and health,
as well as basic education.
How we'll it has succeeded was
revealed by one of the proud fathers
on hand for Dedication Day.
When a guest exclaimed over the
delicious luncheon, he smilingly ex-
planned how it all came about You
know. the OAR have had this school
for long time" he said. Some
of the girls who learned to cook
here have married and now have
children of their own who are going
to school. The mothers brought the
lunch. And it's good because they
learned how to cook here at the
school"
Then there was the story told by
the Alabama Daughter whose car
stalled at the foot of Gunter Noun
tain.
She called a nearby garage for a
mechanic and when he made the
necessary adjustment got out her
pocketbook to pay him.
Thank you," he said, "but I've
already been paid"
You must be mistaken" she pro-
tested. Il haven't paid anyone"
But you don't owe me anything"
he answered. The OAR School has
given me all the education I've had.
That's what I meant when I said
I'd already been paid"
