To prove that you are growing

least 20 pounds, salutes you with

want to know you and hope you
will like them, too.
IN CONVERSATION: Even if
you do not happen to identify the

you know who they are, have
looked forward to meeting them,

This warns the welcome, makes

Usually, it is courtesy to let
older people take the lead and
ask most of the direct questions.
But don't let that keep you from
enthusing about your interests.

not your party. In sense you
are your parents guest, too, and

PLAN AND DIVIDE DUTIES:
Pass snacks, but don't overdo it
so often that you interrupt talk
or bother guests who are not
hungry.
Help casually on cleanup.
Empty the ash trays, remove
used plates or cups. But don't
be so quick on the pickup that
guests feel rushed or untidy.

When your parents entertain
their friends at your house, are
you as cooperative as you want
them to be when you give a teen

To agree ahead on what is ex-

suffer from family disapproval

surprise all, and agitate your

everyone noticed when he swol-
lowed a fly. His gagging and
spluttering almost broke up the
meeting and when he leaned ov-
er and told a neighbor, Il swal-
lowed a d I. mn fly" in voice
only a tone lower than his sing
ing, there was trouble in the
church as many good elder tri-
ed to control his emotions.
When I look back over my
own early church going, l always
remember the story of the old
man who drove an old mule to
church each night and how a
group of boys got together one
night and crossed the lines on
the old mules harness. On the
way home, the old man tried to
drive the mule around a bad
place in the road and by much
tugging and pulling, fin ally
wound up in the ditch with con-
siderable damage to his buggy
and his pride to say nothing of
his religion. The story goes that
he whaled the tar out of the old
mule before he learned that his
lines had been crossed and the
old mule was only trying to do
what he asked after I'll. There
is no known way to apologize to
mule.
Another story concerns the
first model T Ford l ever saw.
A young fellow in our communi-
ty owned the car and to some of
the youngsters who were still US
ing buggies were a mite jealous.
One night a group got togeth-
er and chained a small log to the
back axle of the model T. After
much granting and straining, the
old car finally got to rolling with
the log following close behind.
Many sincere and honest church
goers walking home by the light
of their smoky lanterns stood
aside on the narrow dirt roads of
that day toSallow the car to pass,
only to have their feet knocked
from under them by te wildly
swinging log as it whipped back
and forth behind the car. 1t was
not until the next day that the
driver of the car discovered his
sudden entrance into the logging
business.
The foregoing incidents have
furnished many chuckles over
the years yet it remained for a
simple unlettered man who could
not write his name to furnish me

MEMORIES FROM THE
CHURCH GOING DAYS
OF YEARS LONG AGO
BY CARLTON NORRIS
Editor Gates County Index

Up to a few years ago, life was
centered around the churches
where grown folks and small fry
alike met on Sundays for wor-
ship of God and to talk over the
happenings of the past week. In
isolated communities much the
same situation exists at the pre-
sent time.
When we look back over the
nRst, memories often play pranks
I'd the main things that we re-
member about church worship
are some of the foolish and sim
pie things that have no bearing
on the real purpose of life other
than to add a little humor or
pathos to the situation, which
ever the case may be.
One story that is told period
ically in Gates County concerns
a man who sang Justify in the
choir at Cool Spring Church. So
loud did he sing until the COM
bined voices of his neighbors al
most died aborning. That is why

All GROUP TO ATTEND
LOST COLONY PREMIERE

Several hundred members of
the North Carolina Young Men
and Women's Organization
scheduled to hold its annual
conference at the Manteo All
Club Camp on June 1928, will
attend the 18th season premiere
of Paul Green's THE LOST
COLONY, opening in Waterside
Theatre on June 81, says R. E.
Jordan, general manager of the
drama.
Lyman B. Dixon, assistant
state All club leader advised
that the group attending the
opening performance will be
only one of many groups Of
farm boys and girls seeing the
show this year. Dixon will be in
charge of the All encampment
here on the Dare coast which is
located at Manteo Municipal
Airport on the shore of Croatan
Sound in barracks buildings of
the one time Naval air facilit y.
The June 1928 party will also
visit far-famed Cape Hatteras,
Fort Raleigh National Historic
Site and the Wright Memorial
National Monument during their
stay at Roanoke Island, and will
also make daily trips to Mays
Head surf for swimming or
fishing.
Last year more than 1900
members of the All Clubs of
this State saw performances of
THE LOST COLONY and other
historical attractions of the Dare
area. Groups come weekly from
many parts of the State to at
tend the All Encampment here.
A highspot of the weekly visits
for the boys and girls is cruise
across Croatan Sound on the
State operated ferries. For the
first time now, weekly trips to
Cape Hatteras area are to be in
cluded in the itinerary of things
which the group will do while
on the coast.

came, l knew the little church
had lost something precious that
might never be replaced.
