GEOGRAPHY LECTURE |
Mrs. Jannie Kranig of New
York City, who is visiting rela|
tives and friends in Waccamaw
! community, visited Waccamaw I
1 school last Tuesday and made a 1
! very interesting talk to the fifth
grade geography class about the
cities in the Northeastern part of
the United States. Mrs. Kranig,
: formerly of Waccamaw district,;
! has traveled extensively in the
j northeastern states. She brought i
j to the geography class many inj
teresting facts about Washington,
D. C., Baltimore, Md., Philadelj
phia. Pa., Trenton, N. J., and New
| York City.
Since we have been studying j
! these cities in our geography,
! book our teacher, Miss Perkins,
asked us to take notes on what I
; Mrs. Kranig told us. The follow- j
t ing is a brier SKeica or uic nuics
11 took.
Washington, D. C? the Capital
I of our nation, is a very beautiful,
j well-planned city. Here you see
I the capital building in about the
center of the city. You also see
the White House, the home of the
! president of the U. S. In the distance
you see Washington's Monuj
ment, a marble shaft five hun!
dred fifty-five feet high, and the
Lincoln Memorial, a stone buildj
ing surrounded by columns and
! designed after the Greek style of
! architecture. The city has many
beautiful buildings in which Government
work is transacted, and
most of the people who live in
the city do government work.
Baltimore is the most southerly
: of the great manufacturing and
| commercial seaports of the northj
east. It is located in a vegetable
growing region and has become
i one of the greatest canning centers
in the United States.
Philadelphia is a city with many
tall buildings. It is a great bugij
ness district as well as manufacturing
center. The city is located
on a hilly place across -from
Camden, N. J., on the Delaware
river.
Trenton is the capital city of
| New Jersey. It is a large city
with many tall buildings. Govern|
ment work is the chief work done
j here.
New York city is the largest
j city in the United States. It is a
1 city of many tall buildings. Fifth
Avenue is a very busy street. The
| styles of the nation may be seen
j in the stores on this street. On
St. Patrick's Day the Irish people
in New York had a parade on
j this Avenue.

THE STATE PORT PILC
Wall street has many tall buildings
on either side. Here is where
much of the nation's money matters
are transacted.
Broadway is a very wide street
with tall buildings also. There are
many theatres on this street.
Many nice homes of the rich
people of New York City are on
Park Avenue.
The slums in New York City
is where all kinds of people of
the poorest class live. There are
sections where people of different
races and nationalities live. Many
gangsters came from the slums.
The Hudson river divides New
York from New Jersey. This river
has a tunnel under it.
The East river is very large.
There is a place on the bridge
for all things to travel on, like
automobiles, trucks, trollies,
trains and people who walk.

Dear Sir,
I want to take this opportunity
to say that I consider the citizens
meeting held in the Brunswick
county courthouse on Thursday
evening a step toward perfecting
in this community an organiza
tion which will be able to work
for the best interest of all.
As I see it, there is a need for
an organization that will give all
the citizens a voice in and a responsibility
for the civic betterment
of our community. I believe
that we have done the right
thing in setting machinery in motion
before there is an announcement
of some big project, and I
feel sure that our people will
cooperate fully with the efforts
of the committee named Thursday
night.
Yours very truly.

ORTON GARDENS
ARE READY FOR
EASTER VISITORS
(Continued from page one)
inspecting the gardens with a
party from New York, Mr. Bragaw
showed a great batch of recent
orders, calling for plants to
be shipped to the four corners of
the United States. Last week he
had an order from Cuba.
Hardly more than a year ago
Mr. Bragaw spent six weeks or
more in California and other western
states and in Florida in the
south, acquiring a new and wonderful
collection of flowers, plants
and shrubbery. All these new acquistions,
even to the tropical
fruits, have done well and are
adding to the Orton charms for
the tourists. Then, last fall, Orton
acquired a beautiful Reticulata
camellia, the most rare and unusual
camellia ever known to
bloom. It was brought all the way
from England, via Canada, and
is bidding fair to be outstanding
among the more than 350 other
varities of beautiful camellias
that grow in the Orton Gardens.
Orton and its flowers are a
priceless advertisement asset to
Brunswick county and the whole
of North Caroliha. Mixed with
the beauty of bloom, there is always
found old fashioned southern
hospitality and courtesy
which many people have read
about and very few have seen.

lion dollars a year. But this covers
the cost of educating 32,500,000
youngsters in our schools
and colleges. When you consider
the magnitude of our educational
system, the cost is not so staggering.
"On the otherhand, let us look
at the cost of crime each year
in the United States. Authentic
figures for 1939 show an estimated
cost of fifteen billion dollars
for crime during that 12months
period. Our murder rate
runs about 12,000 persons each
year. Over one-third of the murderers
are never captured, and
less than 1-percent ever pay the
prescribed death penalty.
"Now, why have we allowed
the growth and development of
this criminal empire? Why do
we show so little concern for the
future of our nation?
"Education and the abolitian of
poverty will do more than any
other thing to control the growth

of crime in our country, and the I
most important contribution that J
we older folks can make to youth c
is to develope a sympathetic understanding
with our boys and \
girls. s
"We'll have to remember that ]
they live in a world that differs j
I greatly from the conditions under |
which we were reared. Automo- j,
biles, the wrong type of movies, ((
| sexy magazines and many other I
i things have greatly increased the ! a
| temptations which they face. J |.
"But, the thing that worries; a
me most," Judge Burney contin-1
j ued, "is the fact that the Amer- j r
| ican people apparently have lost
I sight of everything except the
i all-mighty dollar. When God ask-!
ed Soloman what he desired more b
than all things else, he asked to P
I be given a heart of understand- "
I ing, that he might be able to dis- a
| cem right from wrong. If God 1
I were to ask that same question of a
| Americans today, the chances are ^
| that most of His requests would I
| be for wealth and power or for
| long life.
"We need more men who would
| answer as Soloman did",
j Judge Burney instructed the
' new jurors fully as to tnetr duties
j of inspecting the various offices
and institutions of the county,
| cautioning them particularly to
investigate the safety of the
| school buses.
