(< He is very much like his "gram-paw" ,1 and one of these days will be as big 1 a man. He is growing fast in that i direction already. Dale has been mak- 1 ing his presence in the community ] felt too. Monday afternoon he was playing in the front yard of the Greenville street residence while some of the ' bad boys of the street were in front of his house on the High School grounds playing basket ball and ten nis. The dead grass got in the way of the bad boys and one of them struck a match and lighted the grass. In a little while there was a consider able volume of smoke and some fire fighting by the bad boys. Dale saw the smoke and "lit a rag" for the telephone. He called up the fire de partment, and shouted, "The school house is on fire and the ashes are coming out of the windows." It didn't take long for the fire department and Col. Harry Wilson to make a run up Greenville street. They all returned greatly disgusted that there was no fire. But to return to Dale. Thursday ?.ftcrnoon Dale went on the hike with the Bcptist Boosters. Mr. Martin who has been training the young people of the church in the art of singing was so pleased with the progress made that he took the whole booster choir out to the Wham's on a hike. Dale went along of course, because like his "gram-paw," when cotton is go ing up, Dale is also a booster. When they got to the branch Dale decided to show Mr. Martin an<^some of the small boys what a rear live boy from , Greenville street could do, so he undertook to jump the branch. Well he did, but he bounced back and his left arm hit the ground first on the rewound, dislocating the arm at the elbow. Dale was brought back to town, and when the doctor got to "fooling" with hi,s arm the first thing it did was to jump back into place. The preacher then got Dale in the car and brought him home in time to find Dale's mother giving a big card party, but that didn't matter because the preacher and Dale got that mUch more of the-"goodiea which was 3t>e ing served. , This is about all Dale has done this , week, but there are several other weeks coming.
