ALL PURPOSE
Standard grades of light
framing lumber in Southern
Pine are now “all-purpose,
stress-rated grades.”
This means that the same
grades as are specified for
joists, studs, rafters and other
items of conventional framing,
have been adapted to engineer
ed design. They meet all the
strength requirements of wood
trussed rafters and other en
gineered component*.
Previously, these forms of
“engineered wood” required
special and more expensive
grades. Hence, the all-purpose
grades are a potential source
of enormous savings to the
construction industry, the
Southern Pme Association says. (
Grier Stephenson
Named to Dean's
List at Davidson
The Davidson (N C.) College
Dean’s office today announced
a Dean’s List of 94 students
from the college’s freshman,
sophomore, junior and senior
classes.
Students named to the list,
from the 1,000 member student
body, recorded a 2.50 average
grade or better for the Fall
semester of the 1961-62 school
year. The average is based on
an A grade equaling a 3.00, a
B grade equaling a 2.0 and a C
grade being the equivalent of
1.00. No credit is given for a
D grade.
Among those on the list was
D. Grier Stephenson, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Donald G. Stephenson
of Covington.
Fishy in Brook,
Caught by Mama
With Hook!
Statistics show that women
are no longer content with
merely serving as chief cooks
when their husbands bring
home catches of fish. The gals
are becoming anglers them
selves and now share in t h *
“fun” end of the sport.
Since 1955, the American
Fishing Tackle Association re
ports, the number of women
participating in fishing has
jumped more than 20 per cent.
What's the reason? Conven
ience, says the Johnson Motors
Family Boating Bureau. From
baits to boats and motors, fish
ing equipment is designed with
ease of operation in mind.
Take a look at some of the
new fishing motors. The gals
go for them because the en
gines are easier to operate, de
pendable and much quieter
than years ago. Plus, they have
styling which appeals to t h e
women.
Fishing boats, too, have im
proved. They’re roomier and
offer extra conveniences like
padded swivel seats and handy
storage compartments, and
accessories such as sun um
brellas and refreshment cool
ers.
New fishing equipment has
become popular with female
anglers. The easy-to-operate
spin - casting gear, for exam
ple, has led many a “house -
frau” into becoming an avid
fishing fan.
Even when it comes to fish
ing, the gals are fashion-con
scious. Apparel and sports
shops have kept pace with the
trend by offering chic women’s
fishing attire.
A few other things whicn
might have encouraged more
gals to take to fishing are ar
tificial worms (no messy
hands!), and more leisure time.
In Praise
Os the Cat
The dog is universally known,
in the English - speaking world
as the friend of man. T h e cat
—though he has legions of ad
mirers and even idolators —
has not been quite so fortu
nate. His virtues are not so
widely understood.
Charlotte Mish, of Portland,
Oregon, has paid the cat an elo
quent tribute. To quote from
it: “The cat’s bravery is almost
beyond belief and no animal
(including man) can exceed the
cat’s admirable persistence and
determination when it sets its
mind purposefully upon some
objective. Its loyal devotion to
home and family is intense. .
Nothing surpasses the cat’s
curiosity and it is curious about
anything and everything in the
world, animate and inanimate.
Most of the cat’s seeming cruel
ty is actually innocently based
on the same urge that drives
the explorer, scientist and in
ventor: curiosity, wanting to
know ‘What makes it do that?’,
‘What will happen next?’
“We have only to call up
one by one in ‘person’ or in
memory all the cats in o u r
lives. What a strange and ador
able procession they make; each
one so dear, each such a per
sonality, so different from all
the others. None will ever be
forgotten.”
Give felis libyca domestica
his just due — no less than
canis familarus!
Improved Tree*
A number of pulp and paper
companies in the South have
launched programs to develop
improved strain* of trees for
the future. Among the quali
ties which these better trees
will have are greater immunity
to disease and insect attack,
ability to grow faster to use- i
able size, and a greater yield
of wood fiber per cubic foot |

American Legion Auxiliary Has
Program on "Back to God"
The American Legion Auxil
iary, Unit 32. met at the Legton
Hall February 12. 1962, at
7:00 PM. A delicious covered
dish supper planned by the
hostesses, Mrs. Vivian McDan
iel, Mrs. Evelyn My*rs, and
Mrs. Evelyn Hill, was enjoyed
by the members prior to the
meeting.
After the meeting was open
ed in it’s regular formality,
the President, Mrs. Evelyn
Hill, introduced Mrs. Rachel
Chapman, the Unit’s music
chairman. Mrs. Chapman pre
sented the Newton High School
Glee Club, directed by Mrs.
Hugh HcDonald and accom
panied by Mrs. Martin Goode.
They sang “America the Beau
tiful”, which was the Unit’s
hymn of the month, “My Fa
vorite Thing", “Climb Every
Mountain", “Green Cathedral",
and “America Our Heritage".
Everyone enjoyed the Glee
Club very much and they not
only sang pretty but they look
ed especially good also. Their
music program will be one
that will be well remembered
by the Unit.
Following the Glee Club,
Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, the
Unit's Americanism chairman,
introduced Rev. Carl Standard,
who is pastor of Prospect Meth
odist Church and is also Chap
lain of the local American
Legion Post 32 and Associate
Chaplain for the Department

very Inspiring. He stressed the
flag, the Bible and prayer and
