Visitors Mr. George Brown of the State Department and Mrs. Bertha Harris, County Superintendent of Education, were welcome visitors to High School on Monday. New Activity For the first time the High School has instituted a series of Assembly programs put on by the different home rooms each month. The Tenth Grade under the di rection of Miss Fuller presented the first of these plays. We were glad to have some of cur parents present for this pro gram and hope tha,t the others will be well attended. Chapel Program The tenth grade had charge of chapel Monday. Virginia ' Smith read the scripture, and everyone joined in the Lord’s Prayer. After that the tenth grade presented a one-act play, “School Spirit on Trial”, principal character? wejre: Judge — Marion Davis, Baliff — Frank Lovelace, Prosecuting at torney—Bobby Lpwe Huguley, At torney for the defense — Perry Brown, Defendant (first case) — Louise Rice, Defendant (second case) — JaequslXh ^ppjxette. Wit nesses: Moses Wldeman, Dewey Jennings, Margaret Mann, Betty Lou Wedincamp. The jury was composed of 12 other tenth graders. The scene was laid in a court room, where two. trials were cpn- ’ ducted. We enjoyed the program very much, and think the Juniors did well. / Beta Initiation The members of the Beta Club who joined this term were enter tained by the senior- members last Thursday night with an ini tiation party. The seniors were really the ones entertained, though, by all the crazy stunts the juniors were made to do. Everyone had a most enjoyable time. ^ The juniors were made to come to school Friday dressed in vari ous tacky ways.- This kept the student body and faculty chuck ling all day. Members initiated were Dot Brown, Rebecca Simpson, Eunice Walk Bobby Lowe Hugutey, Marian Freeland, Virginia Smith, and Betty Edmunds. Senior members are Lois Edwards, Richard Cul- breath, Claude Huguley, Gary Brown and George Bonnette. ' Chapel Visitors The Rev. Mr. Boozer, pastor of the local Methodist Church visited us at Chapel last Monday morn ing. He spoke on the importance cf setting a high goal for our selves and then putting forth our best efforts to attain it. T. B. Seal Sale The sale of Tuberculosis Christ mas Seals has been carried oxer to the New Year. Since .this is such A worthy cause, we hope that every child will give as much is possible. We are proud of tbe cooperation of the grammar school pupils, who always give whole-heartedly to all worthwhile activities. Picture Show We enjoyed a show at the high school Friday afternoon, which was sponsored by the Forestry Service. It showed in an enter taining way how extra income can be obtained from our timber lands without sacrificing saw timber. Visitors Mrs. Paul Brown and Mrs. El mer Creighton have been recent visitors to our school. — X— H' JSxample We Didn’t Set A lot of grown men act like chil dren while their country sutlers humiliation and the rest of the Wprld starves. Management gets , •‘hurt feelings’* and stands on what it imagines is its ’‘dignity,** when the really dignified proced ure would be the seeking of every opening through which it could pos sibly reach agreements with the unions, and thus help its willing Workers, its stockholders and its country. The unions rush around like bulls in china shops abusing management out of one nostril and government' out of the other, while their leaders, unable to control the communist extremists within their own ranks, allow that un-American clement to drag them into situa tions which must eventually cur tail all union labor’s privileges. Government does little to remedy the situation for fear cf losing the labor vote. It still doesn't seem to grasp the fact that there, are other? who vote in this country beside members of the CIO. If—before these labor trou- | bles were started r- the tnat> | agements and unions, now iw ; volved, had shown tbe same : patriotic spirit as did John l>. J Lewis when he called off the coal strike becaose he knew it | would spell tragedy for the , country in this out-of-balance • period—we would have far less ; fear of the anti-democracy I Ideologies which are sweeping . Europe and percolating rapidly | Into our own beloved land. The half-wrecked world must needs find some successful example to follow in order to pull itself out of the dreadful mire in which this last war left it. It looked to Amer ica first—to that resilient young nation which had led the world in war efficiency and which would lead it back into the paths of free dom and plenty. What does it find? A small but obstructive minority of snarling industrialists and pro fessional labor unionists squeezing the nation’s jugular vein as appre hensive lawmakers stand around and allow the Red Star of Russia to outshine the Golden Eagle of "The Last Democracy”; and we the peo ple look on with our mouths open and you’d even Uft a torpid finger to shako It at these offenders. ALTH THA9MU4E Joint Damaged Before Bad Teeth Were Removed By Dr. J. B. Warren rr£, |V Your dentist tries to save de cayed or infected teeth by re moving the pulp which includes the nerve. Should any symptoms such as joint pains occur or re turn he usuaUy removes these dead or pulpless teeth. Unfor tunately, damage to the joint oc curred before these teeth were removed and this damage can not be overcome ip any way. Heat, massage, and salicylates give considerable relief.
