HANDLING A COUPLE OF
LITTLE BOYS
Here’s a neat little story that
should appeal to all parents who
read this newspaper, to all teach
ers, to all who have children for
neighbors.
H. F. Ford, of Stoughton, Mass.,
was left with the double task of
being both father apd mother to
his two little sonif He says his
boys were the usual run of the
mill boys, pretty good as boys
go. He had a housekeeper to look
after them during the day, but
after dinner in the evening, he
took over.
Leaving the boys in the even
ings was his problem, for he
knew what to expect upon his
return: at first glance he would
see that what bad taken place
was close kin to a football scrim
mage. The rug would ne kicked
back into the comer of the room,
books would be here and there on
the floor, with maybe some backs
broken, one or more pieces of
furniture would be over-turned
with, perhaps, some piece dam
aged. So he didn’t go out very
often.
One evening it was absolutely
necessary for him to leave the
boys until nearly midnight.
Thinking it over as he dressed,
he was somewhat despairing.
Finally, he decided to talk to
those boys as if they were men
with man-size sense of respon
sibility.
He interrupted their homework
to explain that it was necessary
for him to leave the house oc
casionally in the evening, and
that he left it to them to see that
everything was taken care of

ALINE BROOME AND TED BURGESS
TO WED IN ATLANTA DECEMBER 18
Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Broome, of
Atlanta, formerly of Summerville
announce the engagement of
their daughter, Aline McConnell,
to Charles Ted Burgess, of Sum
merville and Atlanta.
The bride-elect is a graduate of
Young Harris Academy and at
tended Young Harris Junior Col
lege and Draughons School of
Commerce. She is now connected
with Hartford Fire Insurance
MISS BETTY STRAWN TO WED
HARLEY BANDY DECEMBER 29
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Arthur
Strawn, of Holland, announce the
engagement of their daughter,
Betty Evelyn Strawn, to Harley
Bascom Bandy, of Trion, the
wedding to take place December
29 at the home of the bride.
Miss Strawn’s mother is the
former Miss Emeline Holland,
daughter of Robert Lee Holland
and the late Mrs. Ozorah Wright
Holland. Her only brother is Rob
ert Harvey Strawn. On her pa
ternal side she is a granddaugh
: ter of Mrs. Arthur Martin Strawn
and the late Mr. Strawn.
The bride-elect graduated from
Lyerly High School, Lyerly, and
received a Bachelor of Business
Administration degree from the
while he was away. Adroitly he
brought in remarks about how
he would have to dig down into
his pocket pretty deep to pay for
any damage that might be done,
and added that when he had to
pay the housekeeper for unne
cessary work, it meant paying
her double.
Then he told them that he was
sure they cotlld look after the
place as well as he could and
that they could get ready for bed
with the same thoroughness as
if he were there. After all, it
wouldn’t be very long before they
would be men with a man’s good
judgment. That last remark
seemed to make a hit.
What did he find when he got
back home? An orderly house,
and two boys asleep plus the dis
play of two good washing-up
jobs, even to necks and ears. He
was so proud of those two boys
that he went to his room with
moist in his eyes. The next night
those boys were treated to the
ice show.

people what they want in the
line of music, if you have the
talent and the ambition, the
public is not apathetic.
Possessing one of the best mu

appeal of his own fine voice, the

Louisa's Letter
Dear Louisa:
I had been going steady with
a boy and I loved him and he
acted like he loved me. But there
was another girl who wanted to
go with him and she would ffirt
with him every time she saw him
even if he was with me. She
would invite him to her house
and he went. Finally she broke
us up and he goes steady with
her now but he always speaks to
me and when he sees me by my
self he always stops and talks
When he gets mad with this girl
he always tells me he is through
but then he goes back to her.
How can I get him to love me
again?
Worried—Texas.
ANSWER:
If I could answer your last
question I could cure many a
heartache, but unless the boy.
! himself, wants to come back I’m
I afraid there is nothing you can
i do. Os course ycu can adopt this
i other girl’s tactics and go after
him just as she did when he was
your steady. You can invite him
to your house, be especially nice
to him when ever you are to
i gether and get in a mean lick
whenever you have the op
' porlunity. But I hardly think you
are that kind of girl. And after
all a boy has to be a little weak
,to let one of these predatory
■ girls grab him away from some
; one he loves. If he doesn’t get
| wise to her and come back to
you of his own accord. I believe
I your best bet is to interest your
! self in someone else.
Louisa.
j Dear Louisa:
I am a boy 19 years old and
very much interested in a girl a
couple of years younger than I.
We were introduced several
months ago and since then I
have met her on the streets and
elsewhere. But never once has
she said “Hello” or made an at
tempt at being friends. A couple
of times she has cast a smile in
my direction, but that’s all.
A few of my friends know this
i girl and say she is a lot of fun
Ito be with, she is popular and
friendly with everyone.
I have gone out with many
■ girls before but this one has m®
j stumped. I have heard that she
I is going steady with a boy at San
(Jose college. But that shouldn’t
I keep her from speaking to me or
trying to be friendly, should it?
Do you think this girl is play
ing hard to get, shv or what?
ANXIOUS—CAL
ANSWER:
Perhaps she is not particu
larly interested in you but if you
are attracted to her. why don't
you go out of your way to mak”
her notice you? Speak to her and
ask her if she has forgotten you
or call her up and ask her for a
date. After all the man is the
cne who is supposed to make ad
vances although goodness, knows
the girls of the present time
seem to have forgotten it and go
after any likely prospect with
energy and vigor.
You boys have gotten so ac
customed to have girls running
after you that you think ir
strange when a popular girl
doesn’t exert herself to attract
your attention.

Sportsmanship Is
Needed in Hunting,
Fitch Points Out
More hunters, better trained
dogs, all-weather roads, more
deadly weapons and a decrease
in huntable areas are making it
oi first importance for hunters
to follow rules of good sports
manship.
This is the opinion of Frank W.
Fitch, Jr., game aid wildlife
specialist of the Agriiltural Ex
tension Service. * '
Mr. Fitch sai<J thwweek that
there are 20 times as-many hunt
ers in the field this, season as
there were in 1900.
“There are still many people
in Georgia who continue to dis
regard game laws,” Mr. Fitch
said. “The ‘game hog and
•poacher’ still brag about getting
twice the limit, and hunting out
of season. In some sections the
market hunter still exists, killing
not for sport but because others
gladly pay for game killed illegal
ly which belongs to the public.
Whole coveys of quail are slaugh
tered on the ground, doves are
baited with salt and grain, deer
are hunted at night with a light
and there are seines and baskets
in our rivers.
“People who do these things
are criminals just as much as
those who enter our homes and
steal personal property,” he con
tinued. “They are stealing from
landowners, taxpayers, sports
men and worst of all, from their
own children, who someday will
want to enjoy good clean, sport.”
Mr. Fitch congratulated sports
mens clubs which are sponsoring
good sportsmanship campaigns
and awarding case prizes to
members responsible for the
arrest of “game hogs.”
Reports indicate that Georgia
, farmers will produce almost 45,-
000.000 pounds of pecans this
season.
