The Perfect Citizen Grover C.eveLann SwitH is the leading booster in the thriving city of Apex. He is just completing his fif- teenth booster year and his fifth as a realtor, a profession he took up on re- tiring from the grocery business after the war. Every week from October until July for years he has lunched on Monday with the Real Estate Exchange, on Tuesday with the Chamber of Com merce, on Wednesday with the Credit Men's Association, on Thursday with the Kiwanis, on Friday with the Lions, and on Saturday with the Committee of One Hundred for Greater Apex. His record is roughly two hundred and forty luncheons a year in the in- terest of his city and at every one of them he eats head lettuce with Thou- sand Island dressing. But to show you what kind of man Grover C. Smith is, his wife has served head lettuce with Thousand Island dressing for dinner almost every evening for years and Grover has never said a word. He is the perfect citizen. McC. H. Sock and Buskin Turs is the season when one realizes the great disadvantage of having a son or a daughter in high school. One has to attend the high-school plays.

Land of sunshine and flowers— Such phrases, to Boosters and Native Sons Born in Missouri, are sacred ones. To us, the drizzle, the fog that lowers, Veiling the Golden Gate in showers Of trailing gray, are your benisons. The sirens of nervous ferries scold Impertinent tugs in a shrewish yell.
