BADIN BULLETIN Page Seven IBB THE THEATER This splendid structure, erected by the Company at a cost of nearly $150,000.00, is designed solely (or the pleasure of the people of Badin. It is probably the handsomest building erected for dramatic performances between Atlanta and Richmond. The second tloor has the most spacious and beautiful ballroom in the State. On this floor, the various lodges hold their meetings. For the Boys “Over There” We wish to call our readers’ attention to the following news item, clipped from the Nexv York Times; which is of especial interest to the people of Badin, many of whom know the Governor personally, and many others heard him speak here on the occasion of the open- ing of the new Theater. daily prayer for victory North Carolina’s Governor Asked Citizens to Begin Custom l^aleigh, N. C., August 10.—Kvery evening, at seven o'clock, church bells are tolled in cities, towns, villaRes, and in the most remote sections thruout Nortli Carolina, while people offer up a prayer for the success of the Allies. This is done accordance with a proclamation issued several weeks ago by Governor Thomas \V. liickett. ^•overnor Hickett strictly ol)serves the new custom. One afternoon he was ]>laying tennis with a party of friends at a court near the city. When he heard the sound of the tolling bells, be raised )iis hands, and said: “Hold on, Hoys; tbere is the Angclus.” I'be game was stopped while the i)layers joined tbe (lovernor in silent prayer. In this connection, we are informed that Charlotte has a similar noble cus tom. At nine o’clock each night, the lights of the city are switched off for a second or two. It is the signal for a few minutes of silent prayer for our boys “Over There.” Why can’t we have some such custom established in Badin? Machine Shop News (Continued from Page Five) handling of material. The change is from the military type of management to the functional type. An interesting feature recently estab lished in the Machine Shop is the organi zation of a fire company, with a captain, two lieutenants, and sixteen men, for operation inside the plant, and also sub ject to call to fire in the town. The new Master Mechanic is Mr. F. R. Hunnicutt, previously employed by the Company at the Maryville plant, and in the Southern Railway System at Atlanta, Ga. We are happy to have you with us, Mr. Hunnicutt; likewise Mrs. Hunnicutt and the little ones. Long life and prosperity to you. The new head of the Machine Shops is Mr. J. N. Dickson, whom we are glad to welcome to Badin. Mr. Dickson is a graduate of the University of Tennessee, and of Purdue University, from which institution he received the degree of Mechanical and Electrical Engineer. He has had wide experience in his work, having been previously employed with the W. J. Savage Company, Knoxville, Tenn., Fulton Steel Corporation, Fulton, N. Y., and the Alcoa Plant of the Aluminum Company of America. Mr. Dickson has just returned from Knoxville, Tenn., bringing back with him Mrs. Dickson and their little daughter. Here’s luck to the Dicksons; and may their stay with us be long and happy. . ■ The W. S. S. Drive The week of August 26 was set by the County Chairman of the War Savings Stamp Committee for a wind-up drive, to secure the balance of the county’s allot ment. The following gentlemen served on a committee for the Badin Com munity: Mr. J. E. S. Thorpe, Chairman; Mr. T. L. Armitage, Mr. D. Clark, Mr. L. G. Daniels, Mr. C. W. Coffman, Mr. L. S. Grandy, Mr. T. C. Shepherd, Mr. R. E. Parks. With such a committee working in the drive, it goes without saying that Badin went “over the top” with flying colors. The Enterprise Changes Hands We take pleasure in calling the atten tion of our people to the fact that the newspaper formerly known as The Albemarle Enterprise has passed into new hands, and will henceforth be known as The News. The paper will appear three times a week; and from what wo learn of the editor and proprietor. Judge Carter, it will be a thoroly live and interesting sheet. The Milk Station You would hardly recognize the store formerly occupied by Fowler’s Meat Market—it is so white and “spick-and- span.” No wonder, for soon the Milk Station will be opened there, and you can obtain the finest quality of milk, handled under strictly sanitary condi tions, from the Gold Hill Dairy. Distinguished Guests We had the pleasure of having with us, in the early summer, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur V. Davis, and Mr. E. F. Fickes. Mr. Davis is the president of our Com pany, and is a man distinguished among the ranks of “big business” men of our country. Miss Bessie Bell, of Statesville, is visiting her parents, on Falls Road.
