Wards Club, Purchases
Britt School House
Property
The Ward Home Demonstration
■ Club women, with no place to hold
their meetings except in homes of
members, purchased the one-room
Britt School House and site from the
Chowan County Board of Education
for-a Community Center.
Improvements needed to be made
before the building could be used, so
men in -the community came out on
January 25 with necessary equipment
and moved the building several yards
back, preparatory- to grading the hill
on which the building stood. Then
on January 29 the same men, who
earlier had labored so diligently at
moving the building, were joined by
other men in our community and in a
short time with their equipment of
trucks, tractors, wagonß, mules, etc.,
several trees had been sawed into logs,
loaded on trucks and hauled to a near
by mill. The removing of these un
necessary trees not only improved the
site, but made the bulldozer job eas
ier and added money to the funds
to be used in remodeling the building.
Although being one of the coldest
days of the winter, the club women
were on hand to - encourage these
men in their eftorts. To show their
appreciation the' ladiea cooked and
served hot dogs,- bread end coffee to
all.
To each person who so willingly
helped on this project is extended
hearty thanks. It is realized that
what has been done is only a begin
ning. But with husbands, sons and
all people of the community joining
hands and continuing their coopera
tion, it will not be long before the?
club women can point to their Com
munity House with pride.

I This Week’s Poem I
By WILBORNE HARRELL
BOUTONNIERE
Let me, keep just one little memory
To cherish against the day, when,
alone,
I will stand on the brink of eternity
As on the edge of a garden full blown.
, 4
Give me one small flower to wear in
my heart—
Not bravado’s garlands to hide my
pain—
And let me wear my one little flower
A memory gayiy and not in vain.
