WINSTON OFFICE With the cooler weather and the Great Artist making a beauti ful flower garden of all the for est, we are reminded of what an old very religious negro said while in conversation with friends he was asked if he was afraid to die: “Well, no, but this earth am so purty and mes likes it so well mes hopes the good Lord will let mes stay here.” Now aren’t we all like that? This office is glad to welcome Charlie Weaver back after a few months in the New York office. (I would tell you something, but I’m a country girl and likes ba nanas and was given one this morning by a certain party to be good and tell no tales.) Those attending the Duke- Georgia Tech football game at Durham Saturday were: Mr. Chatham and Mr. Butler, ac companied by their guests, Mr. E.H. Etling and Mr. A. Breyer, representatives of Riche’s, at At lanta, Ga.; Misses Mamie Dyer and Lola Wooten; Messrs. Bob Hartness, Charlie Dixon, Charlie Weaver, R. M. Ogburn, Hardie Graham, R. W. Harris, John D. Eller, Bill Harris and Nig Plaster. A good game and are these Duke boys around here proud of them selves. The Younger Business Girl’s Club held its annual Employer- employee banquet Friday evening at the Robert E. Lee Hotel, with seventy in attendance. Subject for the evenin'?, “What to do with our leisure time?” Prof. Laster Campbell, of Campbell College, was the principal speaker. Mr. Butler and Mr. Chatham were the guests of Inez Hinshaw and Roxie Bowen. We should be very proud of our company, for we are among the first pioneers of Little Amer ica. One year ago when Admiral Byrd and his party started for a second expedition they carried Chatham blankets and a Chat ham cow. This week we received an order from this party for sixty single blankets to be shipped to this new country, Little America. L. H. C. Club of Elkin Tuesday evening, Oct. 9th, the members of the L. H. C. No. 1 again welcomed the cosy little club room at the Methodist church and made plans for the winter months. Due to the fact that we are so fortunate as to have a club house built for us, a bigger and better program has been planned for the coming fall and winter. For the first time classes are being planned for our members. A class in art will be taught by Miss Estelle Powers for the first six weeks. Following this a class in English will be held for a period of six weeks. After the completion of our Club house a six-weeks class in cooking will be taught. A Book Club has been organized and at the close of the year, all books owned by the Club will be turned over to our library which will be at the Club house. The programs for the fall months are as follows: Nov. 6th, Religion, by Rev. E. W. Fox; Nov. 13th, Health, Dr. Harrell; Nov. 20th, Music, Miss Carolyn Lillard; Nov. 27th, History, Miss McCracken; Dec. 4th, Art, Harold Click; Dec, 11th, Athletics, Mr. Hambright. This completes our program plan up until Christmas. Plans are being completed this week for our girl’s basket ball team. The Lucy Hanes Chatham Club No. 2, has also completed their plans for the fall months. For their regular meetings a class will be taught on “The Famous Wom en of the Bible”, by Miss Austin. Upon the completion of this course a class in English will be taught. The girls are making scrap books, using various subjects such as the large cities in N. C., famous women of N. C., great preachers of N. C., N. C. Indus tries, etc. At the close of the year these books will be judged and the one having the best one will be given a prize. These scrap books are to be sent to some children’s institution as Christ mas gifts. A quilt is also being made and will be sold to raise money to buy some furniture for our new club house. The welfare committee reported seven baskets of flowers sent to the sick for the month of October. Winston Mill Looking Toward Winter Sports Basketball practice for both boys and girls will start with the next ten days. The girls team will be strong this year, if the material already on hand per forms as well as it should. Prac tices will be held twice a week at one of the four gymnasiums available in the city. • ' Plans are being made to ar range games for the girls on the same nights that the boys play making it a double attraction for the basketball fans. The boys team will practice twice a week also, but on differ ent nights. • - Several men from last year’s team will be available along with three or four new men. The loss of Holt and Daurenheim is a jolt to the prospects this year, but with hard work and some time this handicap can be overcome.
