Bobbitts Stage
Annual Reunion
150 Members of Family Meet in
Louhburn at Home of Robert
A. Bobbitt ?
The first / Sunday in August
marked the eighteenth gathering
of the Bobbitt family, which, this
year, was held at the home of
Robert A. Bobbitt, coroner of
Franklin County, at his home in
Louisburg. Mr. and Mrs. Bobbitt
were hosts to slightly more than
160 members of the "family" from
Halifax, Warren, Nash, Vance,
Granville, Person, Wake and
Franklin Counties, and in some
cases, from mor? distant points.
Formerly the meeting was held
at the home of E. L. Harris of
Inez in Warren County.
A wholesome event it was ?
members of the "family" who have
been faithful attendants at the
annual reunion greeted others as
fait<hful. New members got acqua
inted with regular attendants and
vojved never to miss another such
gathering. The roll of last year
was called, and a surprising few
were missing.
Following the invocation by the
Rev. J. D. Simons, pastor of the
Louisburg Baptist' Church, picnic
dinner was served from tables on
tne lawn.
City Clerk E. C. Bobbitt of
Littleton, commented for the bene
fit of the new members and visi
tors on the int-erest shown in the
annual gathering and paid tribute
to the memory of two who have
passed on since the 1937 meeting

ville. He was followed by R. W.
Bobbitts superintendent of Char
lotte County (Va.) schools, of

stantial numbers in the civil life

100 tons of fertilizer farmers
bought in 1932, they bought 189
tons in 1937. During this same
period, the fertilizer industry pay
rolls increased 11 per cent and

lEBSiBf
ECESSITY is the mother of in- ?
^ ' vention, they say; and il that
is so I think someone should em
phasize that "Courage is the la
ther of opportunity." So many
times, when things look blackest, it
seems that only by drawing on re
serve strength can we keep going.
Suddenly we find ourselves face to
face with opportunity. Everything
looked hopeless before. We, were
really almost ready to give up.
And, then looking back, we wonder
how thing* could have seemed as
bad as they were. ^ ?'????*? ?
Fred MacMurray was born In
Kankakee, Hi, In 1908, and spent
his boyhood In Beaver Dam, Wis.
He lived a normal small town life
for an American youngster. In 1925,
when be was seventeen, he was
awarded the annual American Le
gion medal lor the student show
ing the molt well-rounded develop
ment in scholastic subjects and
sport*. His mother worked in of
fices to support them both, and
Fred attended Carroll college in
Waukesha, Wis., earning his way
by playing the saxophone. A bro
ken hip forced his mother to quit
work, and {"red left college to try
to blow a living out oi his saxo
phone. They moved to Hollywood,
Calif., for her health and the boy
was glad to get a job washing cars
in a garage, to pay her hospital
bills. Before he could collect his
pay, the garage went bankrupt, and
Fred MacMurray faced a discour
aging period without a job. He
tried to obtain work in the picture
studios as a saxophone player, but
nad no luck. Things looked very
black, indeed.
Then, he was signed up with a

tns, which worked its way to New
York city and was hired for the play
"Three's a Crowd." Fred had a

ANSWER: Roy Dearstyne says
egg size is inherited and little can .
be done to build this up by feed-|
ing a particular ration or hand

way. Egg size must be bred into
