ARE BANKS
MYSTERIOUS
TO YOU?
You probably know your own business,
profession, or trade from A to Z, and if
you were to try to explain some features
of it to a banker he might seem to you
to be very "dumb."
Therefore, when the tables are turned
and you encounter some banking rule or
practice that you do not readily under-
stand—do not feel embarrassed. Ask
questions freely. We are always glad to
explain any point that may not be clear
to our friends.
In fact, we are greatly pleased when
anyone shows enough interest in bank-
ing matters to want to know more.

Little Joyce Carolin Sullivan
Little Joyce Carolin Sullivan
was born to Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
Sullivan, of Meridian, at the Holt
Hospital, May 14, 1944. The Lit-
tle Bud was not permitted to blos-
som here on earth but will be a
beautiful bloom in Heaven. Noth-
ing human hands could do to help
the little one, because God saw
fit for it to be delivered on to a
fairer and more beautiful land
where it will never see the sins
and sorrows of this earth.
A brief service was held at the
grave in the Meridian Cemetery
on Monday, May 15th, conducted
by Rev. Jonnie Jordan and assist-
ed by Rev. McCord. Hymns were
led by Charles M. Gandy. The
flowers were placed on the "Little
Bundle of Love" by Wanda Lee
Burdett, Doris Laverne and Virgil
Gustafson and Freda Yevonne
Loader, all cousins to Little Joyce
Carolin.
Close relatives and a few friends
attended the funeral. May God
send comfort to the bereaved ones
and especially the mother and
father who have suffered such a
great loss.

We wish to take this method of

bors for the kind words and deeds

loss of our darling baby, Joyce

such dear friends. And especial-
ly do we thank the Hospital Staff

did service we have received.

General Gossip.
The students are all looking for-
ward to the annuals’ arrival. Ho-
go and Billie C. were looking the
situation over in the study hall.
Does anyone know who B.B.B. is?
Why do people say "Swing and
sway with L.J." Gene was seen
studying Algebra II—and he
doesn’t even take it. Golden and
Terry took off for Dallas to take
their physicals for the Navy Air
Corp, but Terry came back and
said something about being a lit-
tle dumb. Glenn working hard on
his theme and it was over due.
Joyce and Sammie just plain lone-
some all day Monday. Duncan
jerking sodas again. Lila and Al-
ton slinging remarks into Mid-air.
The people really enjoyed the Sen-
ior Play. —and he was a gay
senorita!!! Denman is really on
the beam when it comes to wise-
cracks. Another Weide boy with
his arm in a sling. Home Eco.
girls scraping carrots. Peggy Lou
embarrassed in Algebra. D. A.
and Vernon (our most popular
eighth graders) with dates last
week. Dorma Jane filled with ex-
citement about the new house she
lives in. Totsy wondering around
looking for a coin purse and Cora
with a smile on her face. Dan
taking off to get some typing pa-
per... .Protein broke the crystal
on his watch in a very peculiar
way. Foster back from a trip to
his old home town. Johnnie has
an uplift now and we really think
she looks swell with that glamor-
ous bob. A certain somebody
waiting for a certain somebody else
to come back from a short trip.
Junior News.
Well, the school year of 443-44
is. rapidly nearing its close. It
really nas been a grand year.
The teachers have all been ab-
solutely swell to everybody and
Mr. Perry has kept the whole
school system running like clock-
work.
Mrs. Freeman has been a won-
derful sponsor and we are really
crazy about her even if we have
teased her so much that we should
have been paddled good and hard.
The Juniors are hoping to have
quite a lot of fun with the Seniors
before school closes. Everyone
wants to have the annual Junior-
Senior dance but so far we have
found no one to sponsor the affair.
This has really been one grand
year.
To the teachers, we say, "Thanks
a million and we’ll see you next
year."
To the Seniors we say, "May the
future hold for you happiness and
the best of luck always."—Repor-
ter, C. M.
Seen and Heard. .
By the Gossipers
Seen—Junior fire boys rushing
to help extinguish fire. Alton
Wiede with arm in sling. Robert
making love to all the boys. Eigh-
th grade boys inspecting a letter.
Doris Marie with a lovely gradua-
tion present. Cora dressed up as
a country girl.
Heard—Joe saying milk makes
clabber. Seniors plays were a
big success. Crash coming from
Home Ec. Department. That Rob-
ert was a very "gay senorita."
Alvin and Calvert singing "Low
and Lonely." Someone saying
L. J. was a good doctor. She
shot him. Everyone wondering
where Buzzy is. Alton Hanna
talking about going to Washing-
ton, D. C. It’s summer time.
Senior Smoke.
He Was a Gay Senorita! And
was he gay—also a little on the
prissy side. Anyway the Senior
class presented their class play
last Friday night and if you didn’t
see it you really missed the scream I
of the year.
With Robert Golden as a gay
Senorita, how could a play not be
a laugh-filled comedy. With a
cast of 12 characters and the help
of Mrs. Morrow our class sponsor,
the play went over in a big way.
We made about 65 dollars for the
class expenses.
Thanks everyone for the help
in presenting this play and for
coming to see it.
The Seniors are taking their
Senior Day, Friday, May 19.
They will leave for Waco at 8 o’-
clock where they will be expected
at Waco Army Air Field at 10
o’clock. They will go through
the camp and have lunch in the
cafeteria. From there they will
go the Baylor University of a visit.
They will go to other places of in-
terest during the day. They will
end the day by going to a show
before returning home. This will
be their day and they are expect-
ing the time of their days.
The annual garden party given
the Seniors by the Study Club is
to be given May 26. The Baptists
are then honoring the Seniors with
a banquet which is something new
for them and they are looking for-
ward to the affair with great anti-
cipation.
Round-Up
War Food Administration says
—manufacturers of ice cream are
permitted to make more and rich-
er ice cream during May and June
in anticipation of a heavier-than-
usual production of milk during
that period. . .For our armed forc-
es, 25 to 35 million pounds of
pork and 40 per cent of the major
cuts of beef are currently being
set aside, each week.. .Spinach,
beets, carrots, eggs and white pota-
toes head the list of plentiful
foods over most of the country
this week, followed by canned peas
string beans and tomatoes, orang-
les, peanut butter and citrus mar-
malade.. .To assure fair returns
to farmers who grow or are grow-
ing spinach under contract with
certified canners, support prices
have been designated for spinach
canning. ..The price of hemp seed
produced in 1944 will be support-
ed at $7 per bushel for cleaned
seed.. .Through the use of re-
frigeration, it is now possible to
send 450,000 tomato plants from
Georgia to Eastern and Middle-
western growers, with minimum
loss in shipment even during hot
spells.. .Of the 12,000 to 13,000
farm workers expected from Jam-
aica to work in this country, 804
have arrived for employment on
farms in the Hartford, Conn.,
area.

The ceiling price of live hogs
weighing over 240 pounds has been
reduced by 75c per hundred-

The action was taken to discourage

Use MAR NOT
and save hours of House Cleaning each week. Water resis-
tent—Heat resistent—Alcohol resistent—Mar resistent and
easy to apply.
What a job Mar-Not does to restore the beauty of worn,
faded floors, and dull, listless furniture and woodwork!
Just one coat of this beautiful clear varnish will make any
surface gleam like glass or glow like satin--whichever you
Prefer.
And what a help Mar-Not is with your housework. Just
an occasional wiping with a damp cloth or mop will keep Mar-
Not clean and beautiful. No more hard scrubbing—because
Mar-Not keeps the dirt and grit from grinding into the pores.
Keeps it right up on the surface where it can be removed
quickly and easily.
Mar-Not is our “heavy-duty varnish," the toughest, long-
est wearing floor varnish we have. What a beating it can
take and still stay beautiful! Boiling water, soap suds, al-
coholic beverages, scuffing feet, scraping furniture and bang-
ing toys—Mar-Not takes them all without chipping loose,
scratching white or discoloring.
FULL LINE of other Sherwin-William’s Paints and Var-
nishes. See us for full particulars.
