Ireland Fleming reports most
unusual catch from Pound River
last Saturday. Somewhere above
the mouth of Bear Pen he caught
twelve inch goldfish. Having
examined it most carefully, he is
sure that it was goldfish. He
says that Marvin Kilen dumped
some goldfish in the river to get
rid of them year Or SO ago and
thinks that one of them survived
and grew to a respectable size.
Then there was the story Alvin
Hill told about stealing a young
rooster. Having slipped up on the
chicken roost, he made sudden
grab for the fowl. He brought it
off the perch so quick that the
feathers We're left on the limb
squalling.
Charley Deloach spent his
seventy-fifth birthday Monday
bossing the job on the Fremont
bridge. According to Charley, the
contractor got behind on the
work and hired him to speed
things up and get the job done
Regardless of his reputation as to

George Branham will give you
a buck for each fly you spot on
his screen door. He isn't buying
flies, for he knows they don't
roost with him any more. A wad
of cotton attached to one of the
big wires in front of his screen
door does the trick He heard of
this means of prevention some
time ago and tried it out last
week. Since he put the cotton up,
the flies have stayed away
Dock Branham, who was once
a sojourner at various points in
the mountain between Pine Creek
and Twin Branch, is interested in
business career in Clintwood.
Last week he completed a deal
for the Kelley Hotel building on
Mcclure Avenue. AS he keeps his
funds in solid cash, without re-
course to banks, Dock returned
to Kentucky to transport the mon
ey across the mountain. He has,
according to reports, lived the
life of Riley in the Flatwoods of
Pike County for the last few
years.

How often have you heard the
comment that there is more heart
disease now and more cancer than
ever before and that people were
not wont to die of these ailments
in the past? Chalkley Buchanan,
medical student, gives an explain
alton of the incidence of these
maladies that makes sense. AS for
heart disease, he says that people
now live longer, on the average,
than ever before and that the
heart has longer to wear itself
out. The same explanation holds

Postage Stamps.
In a letter to the Postmaster
General, Mr.. Kelley wrote, THE
United States has achieved its
present world position of leader
ship principally by the productive
ity and abundance of its natural
resources.
1T is only fitting, therefore, that
philatelic recognition be made of
these resources. Everything that
We eat, everything that we wear,
every place that we work and
every home in which we live is de
pendent upon the nations soil, for
ests, minerals, waters and wild life
in one form or another.
I'VE respectfully urge that the
u. S. Post Office Department i'm
mediately design and promote
commemorative issue of U. S.
postage stamps of all denomina-.
tions recognizing the value of such
resources. The National Wildlife
Federation offers its entire gallery
of 500 original paintings by nation
ally renowned artists for use as
commemorative stamp subject
matter. The gallery consists of
song birds, game birds, flowers,
trees, mammals. fish. insects and
amphibians.

When Mrs. Roosevelt was here

the young men asked her if there
was any special place she would
like to visit. She replied that she
wished to go to Danziger's coffee
shop.
In Tuesdays installment of
her syndicated newspaper col
umn, my Day." she gave the fol-
lowing description of her visit to
Danziger's:
Il saw an example in Chapel
Hill of the success that can be
achieved by refugee. This man,
who came over from Austria IL
years ago, had formerly run a
fine restaurant in Vienna. He
established a little shop in Chap
ell Hill and now does a thriving
business. We went in one morn
ing and found the place filled to
capacity. There was an array of
pastry and cakes to make ones
mouth water, and the Viennese
coffee was really delectable.
While we slipped ours, learned
that the man had won position
of high regard among the stu
dents, many of whom went to
talk to him because of his friend
illness. He has brought over quite
a number of his family and
friends, all of whom are self-sup-
porting"

CARD GAMES?

(Frona E. E. p, WashingtonJ
I wonder if some reader could
refer me to instructions for some
very simple card games suitable
for two to four persons. When I
say simple I mean just that.
Something easy to explain, few
rules and no involved scoring.
I live alone and because of
family obligations I had to drop
out of all social affairs for a long
time. My obligations have now
passed on and I am alone and
lonely. It is hard to pick up the
broken threads of past associa-
tions, for former friends have
formed new associations. I am in
my late middle age. I would like
to invite people in occasionally,
but when I do, I find that after
dinner has been consumed, I have
nothing to offer by way of enter
tainment. The people I know best
don't care for serious card playing
and do not play canasta, or bridge,
etc. Nor do I. But they do men
ton sometimes of having played
some simple little card game, but
I don't recall how it was played"
I hope I am making this clear
I would be most grateful for any
