r page two THE BUTLER HERALD, BUTLER, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 6, 1934. I REYNOLDS DEPARTMENT i t — -Conducted by 1 Civic Improvement Club of Reynolds HAPPINESS Talk happiness. The world is sad enough Without your woe. No path is wholly rough; Look for the places that are smooth and clear And speak of those to rest the weary ear Of earth; so hurt by one continuous strain Of human discontent and grief and pain. Talk faith. The world is better off without Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt. If you have faith in God, or man, or self, Say so; if not, push back upon the shelf Of silence all your thoughts till faith shall come; No one will grieve because your lips are dumb. Talk health. The dreary, never- changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale You eanrot charm or interest or please By harping on that minor chord, disease; Say you are well or all is well with you And God will hear your words and make them true. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Phone 161 THE HARPERS THANKSGIVING DINNER Part I The clouds were darkening a gloomy gray ar.d the sky was mum bling to itself. Old Mr. Harper sat on his poren puffing away at his pipe and pulling his whiskers. “Rain, rain, always rain,” he com plained. “You know, Maw," 1 really don’t see what we have to be thank ful for. Nothing but a cow, a turkey, our chickens, our vegetables, grains, and sunshine once a week. Seems as if we never have any sunshine at all the way this rain keeps up. If it does | I won’t be able to eat my leg o’ tur key tomorrow, Thanksgivin' you ' know, because this old darn rain j gives me rheumatism in my knees, j Here comes that dreaded downpour! Oh my poor knees.” “My stars, Paw, Can you talk! Look on the bright side of it all; I maybe you won’t feel so gloomy. Be- ! sides, you’d be amazed how much j there is to give thanks for. Even if i you have got gray hair and white 1 whiskers you ain’t dead yet. Law, on that’great day on the morn you just won’t have rheumatism in your 1 kr.ees! I wont allow it! So just think j it over.” “That’s right, Maw,” 7ur. Harper j said,” go right ahead and make me happier. 1 bet I was pretty fortunate to get you and lead you up to the ( altar. You still have that white dress 1 and bonnet with those pink roses. Gracious, I wish I was your.g again!” “Yes, those were pleasant memo ries," said Mrs. Harper. “It’s just as nice to be in the fifties and sixties as to be in the teens and twenties. I’m beginning to think old age is nicer.” “Yep! I’ll try my best to fie gay and happy and thankful or.' the morn” said Mr. Harper, pulling away on his pipe, the smoke going Into Mrs. Harper's eyes. “Oh, stop it, Paw”, cried Mrs. Harper,” you know 1 de spise tobacco. Part II Dawn of the next day was pink ar.d glowing as if a rose had touched her lips to the sky. No sign of the previous rain could be seen. The but terflies hovered in through the open window of Mr. Harper’s bedroom. “My, but ain’t this warm sunshine just grand! Thank goodness, it‘s shining today! Now, I’m first seeing how much there really is to be thank ful for,” and whistling a merry tune he triiJped down the stairs, in spite of his rheumatism (if he had any on Thanksgiving) meeting Mrs. Harper with an armful of yellow pumpkins “Mornin’, Paw,” she greeted 'him. “Pretty gay, aren't you? Bet my speech yesterday brought you to your senses, eh Paw ?” “You're right, Maw,” he replied. “I’m very thankful this morning for the birds, the trees, the flowers, our health, happiness and most of all I’m thankful to have you.” “Well, don't flatter me any longer and run out and enjoy yourself all morning, so when you come back you’ll have a big appetite for your leg o’ turkey.” ‘I’ll have an appetite anytime for a leg o’ turkey, Maw,” said Mr. Harper. Part III “Paw, Paw, dinner’s ready” cried Mrs. Harper. “Well, I do declare, Maw,” said Mr. Harper, “you ought to go it. the line for interior decorating, its so wonderful.” “I told you once before I don’t like flattery,” said Mrs. Harper. The two sat down to a feast of turkey, mash ed potatoes, pickles, tomato sauce, plum pudding, cranberry sauce and mince pies. When they had finished Mr. Harper repeated a blessing to the Almighty. A prayer of thanks was given to Him, Mrs. Harper sensed her husband’s sudden realiza tion and smiled to herself. The last words of that Thanksgiving feast were, “I didn’t know there was so much for which we should be thank ful.” Rosalind Prager, Brooklyn, N. Y.

A Thanksgiving Appointment “Time has a gracious way of paus ing now and then in the eternal en gagements that must continually press upon it to keep certain appoint ments with us in each recurring year. Thanksgiving Day! How many and how varied the thoughts that pass In rapid succession thru our minds at the mention of this National festi val: The Pilgrims, Indians, hardships the first harvest, homes, peace and eventually gratitude. We but need to follow these early Pilgrims thru their first years of hardships and priva tions and to know in what pitable circumstances they still were when they paused to observe three days of Thanksgiving, to really try in a measure to be grateful for the count less blessings that we enjoy. Many throughout our nation can not be grateful for harvests laid by, for their corn and wheat have been destroyed by drougth. Although this loss has been partly covered by gov ernment appropriations, time calls rather apologetically at their doors for its interview at this Thanksgiving- season. A little child has to be coached, coaxed and sometimes gently pinched to make him say “Thank you” when he is presented with a cookey. He wants the cookey but only his moth er’s stern whisper of “What do you say Tommie? What do you say?” extracts from him an audible “thank you.” What ever happens to our gene ration, our children are still going to school even though their shoes are patched. They are being taught more intelligently than their parents were by teachers who remain conscien tious And wehn tired with play, most of them, though aras not all, can still go to bed with food in their stomachs, with quilts to cover them and under roofs that still keep out the rain. They believe that they are living and are having a wonderful time in it. The Woman’s Club Gives a Hand (Woodfin Hinton) Reynolds High School should b proud of the Woman’s Ciulb or a least some of the pupils should be This group, headed by Mrs. W.

Marshall i the person who should receive th most thanks as she worked hard t raise the money. Of course then were others in the committee wh helped and they should be thanke also. Reynolds should appreciate her Woman’s Club. If they are supporte loyally there’s no telling what thes “women” will do. R. H. S. Chooses the National and State Tree All the pupils of R H.

Sport Flashes Zack Weaver Great Stars of Today (This Week Babe Ruth) The U. S A. has seen some won derful stars in its long period o sports. 1 ou can take the sports fron begisning to end and you will no find a greater man in this line thai George Herman Ruth. lie ha brought more people to the Pol grounds in New Cork than all th boxing matches will ever produce. Ruth is now in Japan with Conni Mack and other great baseball men They are playing ball against tine Japs and they are having some great games over there. One day last week,one of the most amazing games was played. The old man Whitchell was pitching for America. A your.g Jap only 17 years old was the opposing pitcher The game went nine innings 0 to 0. Then up came the Babe. The crowd was tame as a child. Then all of a sudden Ruth hit the old apple. Out of the park she sailed and Ruth had won another game 1-0. A well known Jap made a remark about Ruth the other day. (We’ve forgotten his name.) He said that George Herman Ruth had done more to bring Japan and America to gether than all the ambassadors America ever sent. The old man may retire after his tour of Japan, but his name will go down in history as a great star T.he Spencerian Column (Edward Goddard) What a show! What a show! That was the trouble, it was all show and no folks. There wasn’t enough people to make the show worth while so they didn’t have and show. Perhaps that will be the fate Friday night when the Missionary Society is going to try its luck in sponsoring a min strel show. To the Sophomores You asked them—They’re telling you! 1. Of course Thomas Horton didn’t break his shoulder playing football. He broke it sliding up and down the mantel piece looking for cigarette butts. 2. Susie Emma Newsome played the part of chape-roam on the Sen iors’ trip to Macon. She chaped over and roamed back 3. Sure The Barretts of Wlmpoie Street was the main attraction in Macon. The seniors are a very high- minded group of students. 4. The magazines passed around the senior room were bedtime stories. Sure they were Scholastic to be read at bedtime. That’s what the seniors say anyway. 6. So you wonder why “Fo Biddy" Cosey wonders why 'The answer is this. He is a very energetic boy who always delights in wondering why. Now the Seniors ask the Sopho mores— Why do you always want the Sen iors to sneeze up your tires? You can get a blow up without that. Miss Mattie Musslewhite lost the biggest thing she ever owned. She lost her shoes. A mystery to me. A mystery to me! How about you? His vest buttons sewed on with wire is the only way James O’Neal will ever have his clothes.
