than this:
These two middle-aged married

mother were visiting her in her

years. Although the mother owns
the home and has some little in
come to pay her housekeeper, med
ical bills of the past year have
been heavy and SO she had been
hard-pressed financially. Tn e
maids time was reduced to two
days each week.
A few days ago the two daugh-
tiers, both tight-fistedly frugal,
were visiting their mother. She
had been telling them of her need
for assistance from them. AS they
argued, the mother sat embarrass-
eddy silent in corner of the room.
And as they quarrelled about
who was to do what, their mother
thought of their girlhood, of how
she had brought them up in a
God-fearing home, of their mar
rlages to well-to-do, successful
men. Now it had come-in the
lonesome, latter years-to this.
The kissing, the pickering, the
yelling grew louder.
Then the telephone rang. The
old mother went to answer it.
"Why, yes, yes. Of course l do!
Have known it since my childhood!
1t is one of my favorites, and the
name of it is: How Firm A

the daughters, quiet for one mo-
ment, listened.

ing calls over a wide area to
names in telephone directories and,
as fate would have it, they called
Mrs. --. If she could tell
the name of the song, they would
send her a check for $4,000.
The mother returned to the liv-
ing room, told the daughters she
would not be needing their help
for some little while-and possibly
never again-and they swiftly
slithered out of the house and
back to their mansions across
town. How firm a foundation

RESCUES CONTINUE TO
BE MADE ON WATER BY
COAST GUARD SERVICE

In one hour period Saturday
afternoon, July 10, IL lives and
two boats were in jeopardy some
IL miles apart in Norfolk Harbor.
At Old Point Comfort, 26-foot
boat was engulfed in flames. See
ing that his extinguisher could
not control the fire, the owner
ordered the five passengers, who
included two women and two chill
dren, to don life jackets, and then
all six abandoned to fishing
boat which came alongside.
All were saved, although three
of them were taken to the hospi-
tai for treatment of burns.
Meanwhile, four Coast Guard
boats and a Navy helicopter and
crash boat hurried to the scene,
but before they could get the fire
out, the craft had burned to the
water line and sunk.
The blaze, it was later deter
mined, had followed an explosion
which was caused apparently by
gas fumes igniting in the bilge
when the operator started the
motor.
Before this case was closed,
however, the helicopter was divert
ed by the Fifth Coast Guard Dis
trict Rescue Coordination Center
to spot IL miles east near Sea-
view Beach, where a 14-foot out
board had capsized tossing six
passengers in the water.
Miraculously, the helicopter
picked up one survivor of the over
loaded cupboard, and the remain
ing five were saved by small
boat in the vicinity.
Several hours prior to these two
Norfolk area cases, 15-foot mo-
torboat had capsized with three
persons on board in the upper
Chesapeake Bay. Little else is
known about the circumstances
surrounding this occurrence, for
there We're no survivors.
This latter case was the most
tragic of what proved to be the
most disastrous week end of 1858,
as illustrated by the following
other fatal Incidents:
Case 24S-On Friday, a man
and his eight year-old son went
overheard and drowned in North
Cardinals New River.
Case 267-On Saturday, man
was washed overheard from a
motorboat and was never recover
ed in the Cape Fear River, also in
North Carolina.
Case 294-On Sunday, an 49,
foot cabin cruiser ran out of fuel
near Baltimore and woman on
board jumped into the water. See
ing that she was in trouble, her
husband followed her in; both
drowned.
These cases which took eight
lives We're only four of the fifty
assistance incidents handled by the
Fifth Coast Guard District last
week end, and like the two near
tragic occurrences in the Norfolk
area, many of the other Dc were
close calls, too close for comfort.

PROMISE In little state
ment he made a few days ago,
Governor Luther Hodges limited
that while most North Carolina
Governors in their final sessions
of the Legislature have not gone
after new programs and new IDEAS,
he is determined to, in this, his
third, and last, go-round with the
lawmakers.
He is pretty nearly correct in
that assertion. Of course, Bill
Umstead was sick during his first
session and didn't live to see the
second. That's why Luther Hodges
is having three sessions-four,
counting the special one two years
ago this summer-instead Of the
normal two.
That a man who has gone
through three of these things
could still call for more is a trib-
ute to his physical and mental
stamina.
Not only that, the Governor in
a rather newsless statement which
nevertheless managed to make the
headlines in dog days weather,
promised last week that he is go
ing to plump for new taxes.
"Have to have them," he said
or words to that effect-and
now people are saying Governor
Hodges might be chiefly remem-
bered by hundreds of thousands of
his fellow citizens as "the Cover
nor who put the sales tax back
on food.

CATCHING UP? Some
signs indicate that we may at
last be catching up with our
teacher shortage.
Within the past two, three
weeks we have had an opportu-
nifty to talk with several princi-
pals and superintendent of
schools-and they seem to think
things are leveling off a little.
As a usual thing about this
time of year the big Sunday pa
pers have teachers wanted columns
literally as long as your arm. But
this summer they are down to
normal size ,again-or about six
or eight inches.
Also, and you may find it diff
ferent in your bailiwick, teachers
aren't complaining so much about
the pay scale. Of course, there
will always be some dissatisfac-
ton along this line +. for teach
ers are still underpaid when you
look at 1t on a twelve months
basis.
School men we talk with say
there is springing up a shortage
of principals. They believe this
stems from the fact that husband
wife teacher combinations would
rather continue on this basis-and
have a pretty fair choice of loca-
tions-than for the husband to go
into the expenses and uncertain
ties and community bounding
(too often) of school principaling.
THE CALL We have been
in charge of this column for about
five years now-and in this capa-
city we have had a number of
