Orange won its second consecu- tive game by defeating the first place Huntsville Christian quintet. Orange is now back on the pace with which it won first place hon- ors last season. Although Hunts- ville never trailed by much throughout the game, Orange maintained superiority with the deadeye shooting of Jim Knecht and the superior rebounding of Bob Berlew. Shavertown Methodist survived a last minute spurt by St. Therese’s to triumph 41-37 and remain on the top of the league one full game away from the rest of the pack.

John walked into a restaurant one day and ordered soup. When it came, he turned to the waiter and said: “Il can’t eat this soup.” “Sorry. Ill call the manager,” replied the waiter. To the manager, John said: eat it.” “Pll take care of it at once,” “Call the chef. » “This soup; I can’t the manager said. “I can’t eat this soup,” John informed the chef. “What's the matter with it?” asked the chef. “Nothing, only I ain’t got any spoon.” Which just goes to show how some people jump at conclusions . . . and lots of folks do. We've known instances right here in the Back Mountain where people [generally assumed that cer- tain merchandise wasn’t available in local stores simply because it wasn’t advertised. Use advertising in THE DALLAS POST to tell buyers what you have and invite them to buy it. . Only then can you be sure they aren’t going to jump at the conclusion that you haven't got it, or that you aren’t interested enough in their trade to ask them to buy. You may have the soup, but the spoon is essential, too. If you have something to sell, THE DALLAS POST is your best salesman in the Back Mountain
