Cummings Vol. 2 March, 1920 No. 6 Bulletin Confidences The editorial staff of the Bulletin is very grateful for the many valuable and interesting contributions made by its friends in the past. These contributions have been the very life of the paper, and have been read with interest by the many who have received the past issues. We must not, however, overlook the fact that the Bulletin is published by people who are primarily engaged in identically the same occupations as many of the readers. With the above introduction under stood, we extend a cordial invitation to the friends of the Bulletin who have not actively contributed in the past to demonstrate their interest by a more liberal contribution of material. The very foundation upon which the Bul letin rests, and which alone will main tain it on an equality with similar pa pers, is the support of the people in whose interest it is published, without which it, like any similar undertaking, will fall short of its goal. There are probably many who could have contributed interesting material had the need been properly presented to them. In the hope that it may start many thinking upon some articles to send in for future editions, the following brief descriptions of the many activities in Badin are given. Our school system has been extended until it now embraces practically all that is offered in places many times the size of Badin. Certainly some of the many women who have attended the domestic science classes have something to say about their impressions—something that would improve the classes. Likewise the men who attend the electrical, mechanical, science, and allied classes. Also the spiritual welfare, those who have helped and been helped by our churches. We would like some words from you. Next we present for consideration our welfare activities. Let us hear from those who have helped, and from those who have been benefited. Our safety first department, though youthful, has made large strides, and through the hearty co-operation of the men is assured of success. Surely those who have so willingly co-operated have something to tell about the work. Has the Benefit and Aid Association, been of real service to anyone? If so, let us hear about it. We have no other way of knowing. Send us your impressions of your hos pital, theater, dairy, etc. In short, feel as though you are part of all these ac tivities, and express your feelings in the pages of the Bulletin—all for a better and bigger Badin and Badin Bul letin. Home I had heard “the beat of the offshore wind And the thresh of the deep-sea rain,” And I harked to the hail of the wonder trail. And I sailed on the rolling main. I have breathed the air of the fo’c’sle there, And Pve heard the engines champ. And I’ve fed the fire to my heart’s desire In the stokehole of a tramp; And I’ve had my fill of the rovers’ thrill And the life that is “broad and free,” And I’m beating it back on the shortest tack To the place where I want to be. For I’ve had enough of this roving stuff; No more of the same in mine. BADIN BULLETII^ You can plant me down in the roarinS town. Where the little old white lights shins' Oh, I’ll be content, though my time i* spent On a job in a dry goods store, And I’ll laugh out loud in a subwaJ crowd To know that I’m home once more. For the call of the sea may be verj keen. But I shall be deaf thereat. I can “see the world” on a movie screeft A block or two from my flat. The tramp of feet on the city’s stree* Beats the beat of the offshore wind. And the clang and jar of a trolley Has the throb of an engine skinned. For though I burned for the trail, I’v^ learned That I was a bit misled, And the city’s thrall is the only call That counts with the city-bred! —Life To Represent Jefferson Standar^ Mr. J. E. Dawkins resigned his posi' tion with the Company, to accept tb« agency for the Jefferson Standard Insurance Company, of Greensboro which company he will represent Badin and the surrounding territory. For the present, Mr. Dawkins wil’ have his office with Dr. Smith, i" the Badin Supply Building, but he state® that he expects to establish an office his own as soon as he can secure equiP' ment. Mr. Dawkins has a wide circle friends in Badin, who will be interest®^ to learn of this change. The Willeford Jewelry CompanJ’’ which has been operating a jewelry sto^^ in Badin for some months past, remov®*^ their store to Kannapolis last week. Tbi® business occupied a place in the old cor^' missary building, and as yet it is nO^ known just who will go into the vacat®*^ room, although several applications the room have been received. Child Welfare Work Mr. E. F. Carter, of Raleigh, executi'^^ officer of the State Child Welfare CoUi' mission, accompanied by Mr. C. A. ReaP’ County Superintendent of Public InstrU'^' tion, visited Badin on the twenty-fif^^ of February, 1920, in inspecting the fare and sanitary conditions in Badin*
