RICH HAUL

If you knew how much fun
it is to be a reporter, you'd all
want to try your hands at it. For
instance, on one recent day, Je-
thro Midgette, Sr., an expert gar
dener, presented this reporter
with a handful of radishas, just
pulled. And were they good! On
the same day, Mrs. Roy Kessin-
ger handed me two stalks of hya-
cinthS. The day was so windy
that the flowers would have been
ruined if left outdoors; other
wise, I'd have hated TO have
them cut because blooming
things seem especially beautiful
in the midst of all this sand She
said Mr.. Kessinger, who happen
ed to be away at the time, grew
the hyacinths.
As another bright spot in that
day, your rambling newshound
received a letter from each pupil
in the Kitty Hawk third-fourth
grade room, in which the child
rem professed to have been much
entertained by story had told
them about a roundup and
branding ranch, which Theodore
Roosevelt owned as a young man
and where he spent much time.
1t was let down for the young
sters that 1 couldn't make the
life of a cowboy sound more ro-
m ntic and adventuresome.
Truth is, in a year in the middle
of real cow country, l never saw
a cowboy carrying a gun, though
the sheriff of the county,
then very sedate and law-abid-
ing, was still known as Six
Shooter Slim, in remembrance of
his young days when his trigger
finger was said to be itchy.
