• ' . ' i f ft THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN, SELMA, N. C. THURSDAY. MARCH 3, 1932. Miss Thomas Speaks On Better Nutrition Nutrition Specialist of Kalcish 1'’ Guest of Representatives lit the Homemakers dull In Sinithtield. The “Why” of Depression. In On Monday, February 22, Miss JIary Thomas, Nutrition Specialist, of Raleis’h, spent the day in Smith- field and met representatives from the Homemakers clubs of the coun ty for an afternoon meeting. Nine clubs were repre.sented and eighteen women pre.sent. Most of the time was taken up in a lecture on sci entific value of foods. Two demon- •strations were given in the use of milk. The food leaders made plans for the year’s work. Inasmuch as the State Board of Health is sponsoring a Milk Cam paign throughout the State of Nortii Carolina, the Home Agent has chan.ged her topic of whole grain cereals to “Cooking with milk.” This demonstration will be given throughout the county and each club is asked to have two quarts of milk present for the demonstration. The following month wfill be “sub stitutes for cows’ milk” and demon- .strations will be given on the use of prepared milk, evaporated, con densed, and powdered milk. While the leaders realize that fresh milk is ideal, Johnston County has so few cows that it will be impossi ble to depend upon the natural milk supply, so in response to a re- ({uest from the women, a demonstra tion on “How to Use the Various Other Forms of Milk” will be giv en in April. The Home agent wishes to call the attention of the women to the class which is being given on Child Training by Rev. Herbert Massey. This is open to all moth ers, teachers or anyone else inter ested in the subject. This course is arranged for the country women a.- well as tlie town women, and will be held every Thursday afternoon at three o’clock. If you have not attended the former meetings it i- not too late to enter. If you cannot attend them all, come in when you can as each week a new phase of child training is studied. Plans are being Made throughout the county this month in the Homemakers Clubs for a trip to the Azalia 'Gar dens in Wilmington this spring. It is hoped that each club will fill three or four cars and enjoy a trav el cade which will start at the courthouse early in the morning. A picnic lunch will be taken and it will cost fifty cents to go into the grounds. This money is given to the Episcopal Church in the com munity. Although these gardens stand among the most beautiful in the United States, many of our women have never seen them. s\n invitation is extended to the feder ated clubs to also join with us. On April 1st, the county federation of all of the Homemakers clubs of the county will be held in Smith- field. It will 1)0 an all day’s meet ing and every club member is in vited to be present. It is asked tlifit each club fuinish enough of the following for their own group; Potato salad, cold meat, buttered rolls, pickles, cake, deviled eggs. Drink will be furnished. Two speeches are expected. One will be an illusUated lecture, showing the care of the teeth, by Mr. Frne.^r Branch, Director of Dentistry, .State Board of Health. We also expect Miss Hunter, clothing speciali.-.t, to give u.s a talk on sj)ring styles, mil linery, etc. The Home .^gent wi.shes to call attention of the women outside of Smithfield to the Johnston County Exchange which opened at Smith-, field last week. This exchange wants all kinds of furniture, oil stoves, refregerators, shoes, clothing, carts, toys, anything which is not of spe cial use to you, even if it needs re pairing. If you have some things that you feel that you can give away and would like to have re paired, .see Mr. Woodall at Sanders’ store, as the repair work is one phase of this. Remember this ex change is for the purpose of util izing old things and aiding the un- (inployed. , RACHEL EVERETT, Home Demonstration Agent. a recent copyright article ap pearing in the San Francisco Chron icle, l.eonard P. Ayers, Vice-Presi dent of the Cleveland Trust Com pany, held that rigid economy is the only cure for the depression. He pointed out that the World War cost the participating nations Two Hundred Billion Dollars—a sum equal to about $200 a minute from the time of Julius Caesar to that of President Hoover! Most of this money was raised by borrowing against the future. After the war, all nations decided to make the modern improvements the war had made them desire. This was accomplished by borrowing still more billions. The result was a period of expanding indebtedness— which produced a kind of artificial prosperity. Now the trend is the other way. We have been forced into debt con traction, and our' economic troubles have resulted. In past years we mortgaged our future income and the time for paying the piper has come. Individuals, families, businesses and governments must balance theii budgets in order to bring order out of chaos. Waste and extravagance must be eliminated. The depression will pass—but we cannot do away with it by a policy of spending that will merely duplicate the period of inflation we have just left behind To the first ,20 each we peo send Durham Mourns Death of W.

Durham, Feb. 29.—.A. city that knew him for a stalwart captain of industry, earnest Christian layman, sympathetic benefactor and pioneer citizen bowetl today in tribute to the memory of William Allen Erwin, who died at his home here Sunday morning. Whirring thousands of spindles in the mammoth textile plants he builded here were silent for the day. Others in erwin, Oxford were closed. Stores of th city closed for three minutes, ; mute testimony of -the respect ii which the man was held by hi nei,ghbors. Civic clubs adopted reso lutions expressing the city's .sen.se of loss. The funeral corte.ge, moving down Main street to St. Phip’s church for the funeral services, passed between lanes of people, many of whom stood with barel heads. St. Philip’s Episco})al church was .filled before the cortage arrived. Scores stood outside durin.g the ser vices, unable to get into the build ing wh'ch the manufacturer and philanthropist aided in erecting.^ Throughout the day numbers of message.s of condolence had been received l)y membe.r.s of the family. Others came in person and to at tend the last rites—citizens of Chapel Hill, Oxford, Raleigh, Bur lington, Graham, Movganton, Char- lotto. Concord and other cities. Movin.g in that simplicity that characterized his life, the funeral services, conducted by the Rt. Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire, Bi.shop of the diocese of North Carolina, were devoid of eulogy. There was only the brief ritual of the Episcopalian service. The venerable bishop stood before a flower-blanketed casket to read for the scriptural selections, the 15th Chapter of the First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians. The altar had Easter lilies in a simple deco rative scheme. There were no floral pieces in the church, these having been taken to the Raleigh cemetery by truck from the home. The bishop was assi.sted in the service by the Rev. S. S. Bost, rec tor of" St. Philip’s and by the Rev. A. S. Lawrence, rector of the Chap el of the Cros.s, of Chapel Hill. Three hymns, favorites of Mr. Erwin, the same that were used at the funeral -of his only son, William Allen, Jr., in June, 1931, were sung by a vested choir. They were; I “There Is a Bles.sed Home,” “Ten i Thousand Times Ten 'Thousand,” i and “Hai-k, Hark, My Soul.” j The latter served as recessional I The funeral cortege, accompanied ! by a detachment of State highway j police under Sergeant G.

Hog growers of Bertie County re port a .severe outbreak of cholera widely scattered over the county. public in.struction in a previous election year. However, in both those in.stancds he sought to, and it is known that recently he has, avohl the Republican nominations undertaken to discourage su.g.gest- ions that he enter the 1932 guber natorial campai.gn. In spite of such objection his name is being promin ently mentioned in political specula tion as to the Republican nomina tion for govei-nor. Another man who has attained distinction in the academic field and who is being mentioned as a poten tial aspirant in the gubernatorial campaign is Dr. Holland Holton, dean of the school of education at Duke University, Durham, who long has been a prominent Republican. It has been suggested that Ma George E. Butler, of Clinton, who has been a leading figure in the Re publican party in North Carolina more than three decades, might be willing to make the race for gov ernor this .vear. Eugene Holt, of Burlington, well known textile goods manufacturer, is being mentioned also. Man.',' party men in this section are inclined to regard former State Chairman Brownlow Jackson, of Hendersonville, who is United States marshal in the western district, as a probable choice for the nomina tion for lieutenant governor. Boone D. Tillett, Charlotte attorney, has definitely announced himself a can didate for the Republican nomina tion for lieutenant' .governor. It appears highly probable that Jake F. Newell, Charlotte lawyer, an avowed candidate—for the Re publican nomination for "United States senator, will not have any opposition In his own party. Pres ent indications are that the various Four Oaks, N. C., March 1.— Coming as a complete surprise to their fpiends was the recent mar riage of Miss Melvene Moore, of Four Oaks, and Mr. .Albert R. West, of Benson. The weddi'Og occurred in Dillon, South Carolina, Sunday, February 21st. Mrs. 'We.'-'t is the charming young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Moore of Four Oaks. Mr. West is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elbei't West and holds a position with Medlin and Dorman, of Benson. Both the bride and bridegroom are well known and have many warm friends here who wish for them a long and happy life. Mr. and Mrs. West will be at home in Benson after March 3rd. SOME F.U'TS ABOUT STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA North Carolina's total area is ap proximately 31,000,000 acres. Ap proximately two-thirds of this area or some 20,-51)8,000 acres are class ed as forest land. This includes both productive and unproductive acres. The importance of puttin.g two-thirds of the State to its most efficient u.se is of primary concern. Nature intended that land not need ed for other purposes should be us ed for growing of forests. The fact that virtually all land in the State was forested ■when the white man first came to the country is proof of the purpose for which that not needed otherwise was intended. In the building of cities, cultivation of land, and in otlier ways, man has up.set the balance of nature, making it more- important that he restore as much area as possible to its or- i,ginal use. Forests constitute a vital part of the capital stock of North Carolina. They are reservoirs of wealth that may be tapped at appropriate peri ods when prices of timber make it attractive. The.se resources will be steadily reduced unless a wise for est policj' is pursued. Cash Paid For Live Poultry Will pay Cash for your Chickens at Truck IN SELMA Saturday, March 5 From 9 A. M. To 3 P.
