Monday, May 1, 1950^ May 5-12 Will Be Hospital Weak North Carolina hospitals and hospital workers will receive special recognition throughout the state the week of May 512, named North Carolina Hospital Week for 1950 by the state Hospital Association. Tar Heels from the mountains to the coast will have opportunity to learn more about their hospitals, to meet the people who keep them going and to understand the special problems which confront them in the 4th annual observance of Hospital Week here. The week will close with participation in National Hospital Day, May 12, which is observed every year on the birthday of Florence Nightingale. The week-long recognition is sponsored by the North Carolina Hospital Association and is conducted by the state's .two official Blue Cross plans, the Hospital Care Association of Durham and the Hospital Saving Association of Chapel Hill. Chief emphasis throughout the week will be on the many careers offered young people in hospital work. Open House programs for high school students will give thousands of young North Carolinians an insight into the various occcupations available in hospitals. Hospital leaders point out that with the new hospitals being built under the Good Health Program, new opportunties for all types of hospital careers will be opening. Beside nurses and doctors, technicians, dieticians, house-keepers, medical secretaries and many other trained workers will be needed. Information on hospital- careers may be had from local hospitals or by writing to the Duke Endowment, Hospital Section, Charlotte. n Home Demonstration Week Being Observed "The Home - - Basis of a Better World" is the theme for National Home Demonstration Week in North Carolina, April 30May 6. During this special week attention is being focused on what 63,242 home demonstration club women in the State are doing to improve their homes and keep their families well. At the same time, home demonstration members are broadening their horizons and developing a better understanding of national and international affairs in every state, Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. In the 2,050 communities in North Caroline where home demonstration clubs are organized, women are celebrating the week with county-wide meetings, tours to improved homes, demonstrations, exhibits, newspaper articles, and radio broadcasts. According to Miss Verna Stanton, assistant State home agent for the State College Extension Service, community "Home Demonstration Days" are being held to recognize the 32,264 leaders for their contributiori to the development of better homes and community life. Other activities are pointing up achievements as rural women hold open house across the State. From a small beginning in 1911, the home demonstration prograih in North Carolina £as grown to an organization covering all of the 100 counties. This broad program features good home management, nutrition, food production and preservation, home furnishings and color arrangements, family relations, clothing for the family, citizenship, music appreci , community activities, "Better informed, healthier and happier j rural people are important assets to our democracy," says ,'M'jss ptanton. "Rural! people will continue to work toward these vital objectives as they improve their homes and community life) which form the basis of a better world." o Two Years Of Pro Baseball Two years ago today the first profession^ al baseball team in the history of this community took the field in the Blue Ridge league. From the standpoint of playing the national pastime the clubs were sucessful during the first two years. In the first year the club finished a close second and in the second year finished fourth but breezed through the playoffs to the playoff title. . During the two seasons fans have learned to like professional baseball and have great pride in the teams produced. It has furnished recreation and diversion for many hundreds of people, not only in the Wilkesboros, but for people in rural areas of Wilkes and from adjoining counties. It is very evident that the coming of baseball has filled a great need in summer recreation and has wielded a wholesome influence. Prospects are exceedingly good for a fine team this year, and the team definitely looks better than thex starting teams of the past two seasons, which did all right. The only danger here is the possibility, that the club will not have sufficient financial support to pay its own way. Fans can save baseball and assure its future here by attending in large crowds, which gives the business management encouragement as well as the players on the field. We have never seen a team here play a bad game when the stands were filled. o Approximately one-fourth of the cars inspected by Highway Patrolmen during the month of February had defective lights. o : LIFE'S BETTER WAY : WALTER E. 1SENHOUR High Point, N. C., Route 4 «■ . . ■ ' 1 ; IF YOU WOULD HAVE FRIENDS Perhaps some people wonder why They do not have a lot of friends, And maybe sometimes sit and sigh At some hard word another sends; But oftentimes they are to bl&me Because of what they've done and said, That's helped to hurt another's name, Although the person may be dead. If you would have, 'my fellows dear, A host of friends along life's way You've got to love and bless and cheer Your fellow-pilgrims day by day, And let them know your friendship's real. And not an artificial show; That you'll be found as true as steel In spite of how the winds may blow. To be a friend will make a friend, And this may greatly multiply, Before one's life on earth shall end, Which we by love and grace should try; Not only so we'll live in love, And have each other's helping hand, But that some day we'll meet above And dwell with God in mansions grand. THE WORLD HAS LOST ITS CHARMS The world has lost its charms for me Since Jesus set my spirit free From all entanglements of sin That used to reign and ruje within; And now I pass attractions by That once I valued O so high, Because my heart is filled with love For God and things that are above. The world has lost its charms for me Since heaven's glories now I see Through faith and hope that now is mine, And love for Christ and things Divine. How sweet to go along life's way And have communion day by day With Jesus Christ, the Lord of grace, Who keeps us truly in our place; Who fills us with a heav'nly peace, Which, if we're true, shall never cease Until we sing redemption's song With heaven's holy, blood-washed throng!; The pleasures that attract men so With all their vanity and show, Long since have faded from my eyes, For which my spirit never sighs; Therefore my heart and mind and soml al, and fair Is fixed on heaven The recent sale of broom* made by the blind, and conducted to aid 4>llnd In Wilkes county, was successfully carried out by the North Wllkesboro Lions club. The following letter was received from the club by The Journal-Patriot: The Journal-Patriot. North Wllkesboro, N. C.
