In his biography, Parks has the following description of Miss Fanny Murfree in younger days: "Miss Fanny was tall, handrather than beautiful, with some the best voice in a singing family and considerable charm that was marred only, young men seemed to think, by a quiet arrogance and too great intellectual capacity.

And she the most practical member of was an unpractical family. When shopbeyond the capacity of the ping, servant, must be done, then Fanny did it. Fanny could smooth the routine of a household which could never remember what that routine might be." In addition, Miss Fanny served I almost as a secretary for her sister, from whom she was never separated for as long as a week at a time. She sorted critical reviews of her sister's works, quietly discarding those unfavorable. In her sister's last years, which were blind, Miss Fanny took her writings in dictation.

Major Morris Urges Safety On 'Turkey Day' "These unusual times require unusual safety efforts." Those were the words President Roosevelt used in a proclamation asking the National Safety Council I to conduct an intensified campaign against accidents that are hindering defense. Are you helping? asks Major T. E. Morris, director of safety in Tennessee. "Are you making an unusual, an extra effort to avoid accidents?" Remember that accidents don't just happen! They are caused! Every single one of them has 1 a cause that could have been avoided.

When the accident toll is going it has been for more than up, as la year, in our state and our Nation, there's only one answer more people are being careless. Your job in this accident emergency is to play it safe in thing you do. This is a bad time of the year for with Thanksgiving and turkeys Christmas dinners rapidly approaching. And it's a bad time of year for automobile drivers too. Figures show that as a nation November and December are the most ous months of the year.

So here's good advise for both turkeys and motorists: Don't stick your neck out! Winter time is dangerous time. Sergeant (to very raw recruit): "Mark time, there, can't you?" Recruit (who has been provided with impossibly large boots): "I am, my boots!" Turkeys can now be bought by grades; U. S. Prime at the top, followed by U. S.
