is modern electric heating.
It’s so wonderfully clean! Walls, windows,
furniture, curtains, draperies, all stay cleaner
longer, much longer. This is the cleanest heat
in the world.
And heat that’s quick as the flick of a dial.
Quiet as a considerate cat. Comfort is held
within one degree of thermostat setting. Noth
ing else in home heating can match that.
Costs less to install. Costs less to maintain.
And total-electric customers get a special low
rate. Budget billing means you pay the same
amount every month.
You’ll be switched? Fine. Look for a certified
electric heating dealer in the yellow pages.
Whatever the number, you’re dialing comfort.

Kings And Queens Named
At The Reynolds School
Two royal couples reigned
over the Halloween Carnival at
Reynolds Elementary School
last Friday night. In the lower
grades (1-5), Beth Cosey and
Randy Nelson were named the
members of royalty as they won
the queen and king crowns. In
the upper grades (6-8), Har
riet Jones and Bob Childre
walked away with the honors.
Serving as the members of
the court for the royalty were
seven boys and seven girls who
were elected by the grades of
school to represent them.
From thefirstgrade was Kel
ly Anthoine and Ricky Hill, the
2nd grade members chosen
were later named the king and
queen. Representing the third
grade were Jeff Montgomery
and Deborah Anderson while
the fourth grade chose Russ
Montgomery and Nancy Young.
Michael Whatley and Sharon
Johnson represented the fifth
grade and the sixth grade re
presentatives won the crowns
for the upper grades.
Cindy Wainwright and Skeet-
er Poole were chosen by the
seventh grade to represent
them, Sheryl Roberson and Dan
ny Dent represented the eighth
grade and chosen by the 7B
and 8B sections were Peggy
Crook and Edward Bloods-
worth.
The kings and queens were
chosen soon after the supper
which kicked off the Halloween
Carnival and after the child
ren had changed from their
evening dresses and dress suits
to “Halloween clothes”, the
winners were given free fun
for the evening. They could
enjoy all of the events offered.
Probably receiving the most
attention was the Haunted House
where a very realistic “dead
person” was resting in a real
casket as well as other hor
rors too numerous to mention.
POETRY CORNER
The following was written by
the grandmother, Mrs. Edgar
McGee, soon after the loss
of her grandson, Brae Deaton.
God came down and visited
us today.
He took our precious Brae away.
We should have been silent and
filled with peace,
When in the lakes deep waters
his life did cease.
But our hearts hung heavy like
clouds of a storm
When we all stood over his
precious body to mourn.
He was too good for this wicked
world I know.
God needed him more, He told
me so.
He is with God in Heaven on
high.
Where I hope to see him in the
by and by.
God gave me strength, I hope
and pray,
So I can be with him on that
Great Judgment Day.
Sweet sleep Darling,
