Indian Nationalists (22 of whom were killed) duck bullets of Portaffese polios when Indlsns invaded Goa to demand Its cession by Portugal to India. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M, ELEAZER Just ^bout gone is the “what not” that stood in the comer of the parlor that every home had in ’the Fprk in my day as a kid. The parlor was the room where company was entertained and the kids were almost scared to go. They were all similar, and little used. It usually had 1 matting on the floor. This came from Sears- Hoebuck, as did the two wicker •chairs. Talking about those chairs, one of ours got smashed in transit. We knew nothing about making claims against the railroad for anything like that. In fact we "knew the whole train crew, liked ’em, and wouldn’t have thought cf complaining to them. Thought they’d had to paid it themselves if anybody did. Our blacksmith at the foot of the hill could fix anything. So he fashioned cres cent iron collars that bound the broken post of the chair and it was as strong as ever. But it leaned back too far and many is the squeal that came from a per son who sat in it and almost tilt ed over. And other things too were al ways in the parlorrlt was always poorly lighted, for too much sun faded the wallpaper, as well as the curtains, and the pictures that hung on the * walls. It smelled musty in there too, for it was open so seldom. I always had a tendency to asthma, and that musty place started me wheez ing if I sat long. It was cold too, in winter, and hot in summer. Never just right, it seemed. And the chairs and sofa in there were never sat in enough to get ’em well broke in. And I never liked to clean my feet that good, the way they wanted us kids to do if we went in there. There was sure to be mud, dried or fresh, on our bare feet in summer, or shoes in win ter. So rather than have to clean up, we mostly stayed out of there. And that didn’t bother us a bit. For everything was always so FARMER RETURNS . . Chas. J.

You don’t have to be very old or very wise before you realize the one big truth about Habits. The good ones are hard to acquire, and the bad ones are hard to break. Now, we aren’t in business to help you break those bad habits. That’s something you’ll have to work out for yourself. But we are set up to help you acquire a good habit—the SAYINGS HABIT! As a mater of fact, we’ve been “habit-forming” in that respect for many, many years. During that time we’ve found that people with this SAVINGS HABIT—no mater what amount of money is involved—all feel the same way about their “nest egg.’ » riV V, THEY WANT IT TO BE SAFE. They want to be sure it’s available when they need it. And they want it to earn a good rate of return. Reasonable requirements, certainly, and we are proud of our record on all three counts. COME TO SEE US SOON—we’ll have you habit-bound in no time! Newberry Federal Savings & Loan Ass’n. “An Institution Devoted to Thrift and Home Ownership” ASSETS OVER $7,725,000.00 John F.

By LiYN CONNELLY T^VER wonder how you would fare if you submitted an entry i% one of TV’s dazzling contests? Well, we’re here to tell you—save your three-cent stamp because it’s not worth gambling even that much • • • This columnist was a “judge” once in a local contest to name a pony . . . Know how the “winner” was selected? Hiere was a bushel of post cards (a network show would have about ten barrels) and no\ one seemed inclined to go through them at aU . . . Finally, after much to do about how to be “fair” about the whole thing, it was decided to just pick them at random and use the process of elimination. One card was picked out and the name was “Black Beauty” . . . Since that wasn’t a very orig inal name even the judges agreed at least one more card should be examined . . . The next one came up with the name “Schultz” . . . 11118 certainly was original . . . In fact, the idea of naming of a pony “Schultz” was so fascinating that it. was unanimously agreed mere was no point looking furth er . . Then one of the judges looked at the name and address of the child who had submitted the ^ntgr ... It appeared he lived in a very poor, congested area of the city . . . How could he pos sibly keep a pony? So it was discarded and a third card pulled . . . This one sug gested “Pretty Baby** which no one cared toe much for but aft least it was . better than “Black Beauty” and why keep digging down and wasting more timer Besides, it happened that the girl who sent in that card was a polio victim and lived on a farm . . . So there we were—a fair name, a good place to keep the poky and a child who needed one. It took exactly three post cards to find the “winner.” Prosperity News MRS. B. T.

Needing a haircut, I de cided to try the little shop that huddled in the shadows of the Hillcrest State Bank. “Howdy!” A cheerful man in a long white smock looked me over cdrefully. “Stranger in town, ain’t ye? I'm Shaky Mulligan. Been clipping folks in these parts for nigh on forty year. Heel Hee! D’ye get me, stranger? I said—” “I heard you,” I replied crisp ly. “Now then, Mr. Mulligan, once over, lightly on the sideburns.” “Danged if that ain’t old Pete Hawkins coming this way,” ex claimed the barbpr nodding to ward the plate glass window. ‘•Hate to ask you this, stranger, but would you mind if I clipped old Pete first?” I groaned. ‘Thank’ee. Pete’s wife kicks up a storm every time he’s late getting home from the barber shop; thinks he’s out getting a snootfulL” “How long will It take?” I asked impatiently.. “Only about fifteen minutes; I gfajMtr Pete real quick. To make it interesting Td like to make you a mrnoU wager, m bet you two dollars that Pete walks off with out paying for his haircut—what d’ye say?« “Sure. Sure. Anything—only please hurry.” Pete Hawkins shuffled in, plunked himself into the big chair, pnri stared hard at the ceiling. ‘That's a sizeable crack up there. Shaky,” he observed, nodding up at a foot-long break in the plaster. “A sizeable crack. Wouldn't sur prise me none to see you with a lawsuit on your hands. Whole ceil ing might fall in and clobber somebody.” •^Didn’t get your name, strang- py,** said Shaky, looking at me. I blushed. “Jones. Tim Jones. Bow did Unde Eustiee make out?” Pete’s gaze returned to the cracked ceiling. “Poor Unde Sue- tice. Not only did be begin plas tering the ballroom ceiling single- handed, but he also decided to pretty it up with doo-dads.” “Doo-dads was the rage in those days,” sighed Shaky. “And I suppose the ceiling feU in?” nils from me. Pete gave me a withering stare before going on: “Yep. Doo-dads and curly-kews. Right pop’ler they was. And the ceiling DIDN'T fall in-4fcast not right away. It waited until one night when the ballroom was crowded—then, ker plunk!” “How awful!” I cried. “Wars many injured?” ’ “Nope. Punchbowl was broke though. Uncle Eustiee had to do the job an over again—without doo-dads.**. Shaky silently eyed toe crack in his cilling. “It doesn’t look too bad,” I en couraged. .“Phil Johnson might fix it tor ten dollars,” : suggested Pete. ‘Ten dollars!” Shaky snorted. “For one little crack?” “PhO's a union man. Unde Eustiee could have dime it cheap er in his day, but—” Pete shrugged. Then a bright idea sparkled in his eyes: “Say, why don’t you just give Phil a few free haircuts for the job?” Shaky studied the crack. “Not a bad idea. Thanks Pete!” “And thank you tor the hair cut,” Pete replied. “You win,” I said, handing Shaky his two doUars. “One thing puzzles me though. If you know Pete doesn’t intend to pay. why do you cut his hair?” Shaky thoughtfully stuffed the bills into his breast pocket nefore replying: “Well, old Pete doesn’t have much money, and sometimes his hair gets a miter long while he’s watting; but sooner or later a stranger like yourself eomea in to pick up toe tab.
